Instructions for Installation/Set-up, Operation, Servicing, & Storage
Portable, Outdoor Use-
Only, Petrol Generator
MODEL: TB3000E
MODEL: TB9000E
Can be used to power individual appliances plugged directly into the generator’s outlets, or as
a back-up connection to a building's power supply via a professionally installed SAA -approved
transfer switch and RCD circuit breaker.
READ and UNDERSTAND this manual completely before using the generator! Failure to properly set
up, operate, and maintain this generator could result in serious injury or death from carbon monoxide
poisoning, electric shock, fire/explosion, or burns. In particular, be aware of the following hazards:
CO POISONING
Generators give off carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can kill you. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or
taste it.
• ONLY run generator OUTDOORS and AWAY from building air intakes. NEVER run generator inside
any enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces, including homes, basements, garages, sheds, boxes, RVs,
boats or pick-up truck beds. These spaces can trap poisonous gases, EVEN if you run a fan or open
windows.
• Install carbon monoxide alarms inside nearby structures/buildings
(battery-operated, or plug-in with
battery backup).
ELECTRIC SHOCK/ELECTROCUTION
• High voltage electricity from generator can kill. DO NOT operate in wet locations. Be sure generator is
properly grounded. Use only Australian - listed, outdoor - rated grounded extension cords of proper size.
• NEVER plug the generator directly into a wall outlet. ANY connection to a building’s electrical system
must isolate the generator from utility power via an Australian -approved transfer switch installed by a
licensed electrician. Otherwise, back feed from the generator into the power grid could kill utility workers.
FIRE/EXPLOSION
• DO NOT overload generator (per rated capacity), and OPERATE ONLY in an area with adequate
cooling ventilation so engine does not overheat. Exhaust can be extremely hot. Keep muffler at least 2
meters from all combustible objects.
• All fuels are flammable. Never fuel a running or hot engine. Never pump fuel directly into generator at
gas station – use approved container to transfer fuel. Ensure there are no fuel leaks, and keep sources
of sparks and flames away.
•
ALWAYS keep a fire extinguisher rated “AB
C” nearby.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT GENERATOR FOR YOUR NEEDS. See the “Power load Planning & Management”
section of this manual to determine your power load requirements and then compare to the generator’s rated
capacity.
INSPECT COMPONENTS: Closely inspect to make sure no components are missing or damaged. See the
“Unpacking & Delivery Inspection” section for instructions on whom to contact to report missing or damaged
parts.
ARRANGE FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION of a transfer switch if
you will be connecting the
generator to your building’s electrical system. See the “Installation/Initial Set-Up” section for more
information about this requirement.
