applications and limitations must be understood. Keep all instruction manuals in a safe place for
future reference.
1.17. Always switch off the circuit breaker on the generator when not in use.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY INFORMATION:
2.1. Electrical equipment including cable, cords and plug connection must not be defective. Please
check before using.
2.2. Do not plug the generator directly into a wall socket-outlet.
2.3. The generator should not be connected to other sources such as the power company supply
mains. In special cases where stand-by connection to existing electrical systems or integration
therewith is intended, note that it is a legal requirement that such connections or integration may
only be performed by a competent person.
2.4. Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit-breakers that are specially matched to the
generator. If a circuit breaker requires replacement, it shall be replaced by a circuit breaker that
has identical ratings and performance characteristics.
2.5. Due to high mechanical stresses only tough rubber-sheathed flexible cable should be used.
2.6. If the generator is of CLASS II construction then earthing of the generator is not required.
2.7.
Cord Extension Sets:
2.7.1. A 1mm2 flexible cable can draw a maximum of 10A provided that the cable is not longer
than 25m.
2.7.2. A 1.5mm2 flexible cable can draw a maximum of 10a provided that the cable is not
longer than 35m
2.7.3. A 1.5mm2 flexible cable can draw a maximum of 16a provided that the cable is not
longer than 20m
2.7.4. A 2.5mm2 flexible cable can draw a maximum of 10a provided the cable is not longer
than 65m
2.7.5. A 2.5mm2 flexible cable can draw a maximum of 16a provided that the cable is not
longer than 45m
2.7.6. A 4mm2 flexible cable can draw a maximum of 10a provided that the cable is not longer
than 100m
2.7.7. A 4mm2 flexible cable can draw a maximum of 16a provided that the cable is not longer
than 65m
2.8. DROP IN ELECTRIC EXTENSION CORDS:
When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a certain amount
of voltage drop or loss occurs in the extension cord which reduces the effective voltage available for the
appliance or tool.
