Maintenance and repair of the generator must be carried out by a qualified technician from an authorised after-
sales service centre.
Warning: when you start the generator with the cord, watch out for sudden changes in the rotation of the motor!!! Risk of
wounding!!! Never cover the generator when it is running. The cut-out mounted on the generator has the aime of reducing
the risk of electric shock. If it needs to be replaced with another cut-out, the latter must correspond to the technical
specifications of the generator. Due to important mechanical constraints, it is necessary to use a flexible sheathed cable
with a strong rubber protective layer (conforming to IEC 245-4) or a similar cable. If using an electrical extension cable,
the total length of the extension must not exceed 60m when the section of the wire is 1.5mm
2
and must not exceed 100m
when the section of the wire is 2.5mm

Security measures when filling the fuel tank
•
The fuel is extremely flammable and poisonous.
•
This generator only uses petrol (gasoline); any other kind of fuel will damage the motor.
•
Do not overfill the tank with petrol to avoid spilling. If you notice a spill, it must be wiped up completely with a dry
cloth before starting the motor.
•
If you swallow fuel by mistake, if you inhale fuel vapours or if you get drops of fuel in your eyes, see a doctor
immediately. If a certain quantity of fuel is spilt on your skin or clothing, wash or change your clothes.
•
Always stop the motor of the generator when filling it with fuel.
•
Never fill the fuel tank while smoking or near a naked flame.
•
Make sure you don’t spill fuel on the motor and the exhaust grille of the generator during filling with fuel.
•
Keep the fuel in an appropriate recipient and sheltered from any sources of fire.
•
Carry out filling in a safe place, and slowly open the fuel cap to release the pressure which has built up inside
the tank. Wipe up any drops of petrol that have spilled before starting the motor.
•
To prevent fire, move the generator at least 4 metres away from the area for filling with fuel.
•
Make sure that the fuel cap is tightly closed before starting.
•
Do not keep petrol in the tank for a long time.
•
While using or transporting the generator, make sure you keep the generator upright, otherwise the fuel may
escape from the carburettor or the fuel tank.
