1.4.9.1.1.4.

 

 If acid gets into your eyes, you should remove it immediately. 

Make sure that you do not wash the acid to another part of the face or 
body. 

1.4.9.1.1.5.

 

Gasses from charging batteries are highly flammable. You 

must charge in well-ventilated areas. 

1.4.10.

 

Additional Safety Instructions. 

1.4.10.1.

 

Do not enclose or cover the generator. It may become overheated if it is 

enclosed. If the generator is covered, make sure to remove it and keep it well 
away from the area during generator use. 

1.4.10.2.

 

Operate the generator on a level surface. It is not necessary to prepare a 

special foundation for the generator. However, the generator will vibrate on an 
irregular surface. 

1.4.10.3.

 

If the generator is tilted/moved during operation, fuel may spill and/or the 

generator may tip over, causing a hazardous situation. 

1.4.10.4.

 

If used on a steep incline or slope then proper engine lubrication will not 

happen. In such a case, piston seizure may occur even if the oil is above the upper 
level. 

1.4.10.5.

 

Pay attention to the wiring or extension leads from the generator to the 

connected device. If the wire is under the generator or in contact with vibrating 
parts it may break and possibly cause a fire, generator burnout, or electric shock 
hazard. Replace damaged or worn leads immediately. 

1.4.10.6.

 

DO NOT operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands. The 

operator may suffer severe electric shock if the generator is wet due to rain or 
snow. If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. DO NOT pour water directly 
over the generator, nor wash it with water. 

1.4.10.7.

 

For each use, make sure that the generator has been electrically 

grounded/earthed. Failure to do so can be fatal. 

1.4.10.8.

 

DO NOT smoke while charging a battery. The battery emits flammable 

hydrogen gas, which can explode if exposed to electric arcing or open flame. Keep 
the area well ventilated and keep open flames/sparks away when charging a 
battery. 

1.4.10.9.

 

The engine becomes extremely hot during use and for some time after 

operation. Keep combustible materials well away from generator area. Be very 
careful not to touch any parts of the hot engine especially the muffler/exhaust 
area or serious burns may result. 

1.4.10.10.

 

Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work area. 

1.4.10.11.

 

It is essential that you know the safe and proper use of the power tool or 

appliance that you intend to use. All operators must read, understand and follow 
the tool/appliance owners’ manual. Users must make themselves aware of the 
tool and appliance applications and limitations. Follow all directions given on 
labels and warnings.  

1.4.10.12.

 

Use only "LISTED" extension leads. When tools or appliances are 

used/operated outside, use only extension leads marked for “Outdoor Use". 
Extension leads, when not in use, should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated 
area.
