Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 10 feet
away.
Wear sturdy and dry shoes or boots. Do not operate
while barefoot.
Do not operate generator when you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
The electrical output load must not exceed the
maximum load stated on the rating plate.
Exceeding the rated load will damage the unit or
shorten its life and will invalidate the guarantee.
The engine must not be run at speeds that exceed the
maximum stated on the rating plate.
Operating an engine at excessive speeds increases
the hazard of personal injury.
Do not tamper with components, which may increase
or decrease the governed speed.
Mains extension leads, mains supply leads, and all
electrical equipment must be in good working
condition.
Never operate electrical equipment with damaged or
defective mains supply leads.
Keep the area around the generator clear of
obstructions at all times. Never locate the generator
against a building or near a canvas or plastic structure
i.e. Tents etc.
Always use the correct fuel mix as stated in the user
manual and on the rating plate.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel
with care. It is highly flammable.
Do not smoke while handling fuel.
Store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.
To prevent fire, always stop the engine and allow to
cool for five minutes before refueling and never over
fill the fuel tank.
L
oosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to
keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
T
ighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.
W
ipe spilled fuel from the unit.
N
ever attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any
c
ircumstances.
A
lways clean up spilt fuel immediately using sand.
D
o not use the generator in or near an explosive
atmosphere.
T
o prevent an electric shock, never operate the
machine in rain, snow or touch with wet hands.
Check the fuel system periodically for leaks. Seals and
hoses should be checked for signs of deterioration or
chafing. Check for loose or missing clamps damaged
fuel tank or filler cap. All defects should be corrected
before further use.
Always allow the generator to reach full operating
speed before connecting any electrical load. Always
disconnect the electrical load before switching the
generator off.
To prevent surging that may possibly damage
electrical equipment, do not allow engine to run out of
fuel while electrical loads are connected.
Before transporting the generator in a vehicle, drain all
fuel to prevent spillage.
To prevent an electric shock and fire, never connect
an electrical load with the electrical output switched
on.
Do not connect the generator to any other electrical
source.
Before storing, allow the engine to cool for 30 minutes
and drain fuel from the unit.
Do not store the generator in rain, snow, or wet
weather.
Store the generator in a well-ventilated area with the
fuel tank empty. Fuel should not be stored near the
generator.
Empty fuel tank, place the engine switch/fuel
valve/choke lever in the OFF position, and restrain the
unit from moving before transporting in a vehicle.
Provide a plastic sheet or absorbent pad below the
generator to catch any drips of fuel or lubricant when
transporting.
Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the
use of the generator, inspect the generator as well as
extension cords and power supply cords connected
to it for damage resulting from vibration. Have
damaged items repaired or replaced as necessary. Do
not use plugs or cords that show signs of damage
such as broken or cracked insulation or damaged
blades.
