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
