Fire and burn hazards
• The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials:
• keep the generator at least 1 metre away from buildings and other equipment
during operation.

• The exhaust becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after
stopping the engine:
• Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.
• Do not touch the hot exhaust with your hands.
• Petrol/gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the generator is refuelled or where
gasoline is stored.

Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the generator.
• Never cover the generator with clothes or other articles.
Warning! Do not connect sensitive electronic equipment (such as a TV or
laptop) to this generator, because of possible high peak voltages.
