IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

NEVER

 allow anyone, not fully familiar with generator sets to use this equipment.

This generator set is NOT suitable for use with electronic equipment such as
televisions, hi-fi’s or computers etc.

IMPORTANT!

This generator uses either a floating chassis or neutral reference to

chassis earthing system. (refer to technical information sheet).

Neutral reference to chassis generators MUST be connected to an earthing
spike to ensure they are properly  grounded.
Floating earth generators DO NOT require earthing.

Connect only those appliances that are in good working order.

NOTE:

 Most portable electric tools are Class II (double insulated) appliances.

Always check BEFORE connecting. Equipment that does not meet this
standard (i.e. tools with metal casing) require a three conductor cable with
an earth conductor.

DO NOT

 Alter the engine settings, the voltage and frequency of the generator

output is directly linked to the engine speed. These settings are factory set.
Should they need re-calibration - consult your CLARKE dealer.

Connect only those appliances whose voltage (according to their data plate)
corresponds to that produced by the generator.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ALWAYS

 use in a well ventilated area.

ALWAYS

 ensure the applied load does not exceed the generators rating.

Overloading the generator is dangerous and could cause serious damage.

ALWAYS

 disconnect the generator when carrying out any maintenance.

ALWAYS

 ensure the generator reaches operating speed before connecting

a load.

ALWAYS

 start the engine BEFORE connecting any appliances to the output

receptacles.

ALWAYS

 check the generator for damage before use.

ALWAYS

 keep well clear of all moving parts on the generator at all times.

NEVER

 allow children or animals near the generator.

NEVER

 connect to a commercial or mains power supply, or any other

electrical source.

NEVER

 allow the generator to run out of fuel when a load is connected.

NEVER

 alter or tamper with the internal wiring of the generator.

NEVER

 climb or stand on the generator as dents may cause overheating of

the acoustic lining.

NEVER

 touch any part of the engine, alternator or exhaust when the generator

is in use as these get hot and could burn.
