FUEL FILLING INSTRUCTIONS
Select bare ground for fuelling and move at least 10
feet (3m) from fuelling spot before starting the engine.
After refuelling, properly tighten fuel cap; wipe off any
spilled fuel and check for leakage.
Warning! If fuel gets spilled on clothes, especially
trousers, it is very important to change clothes
immediately. Do not rely on evaporation.
Flammable quantities of fuel may remain on clothes
after a spill for longer than expected.
Warning! Vibrations can cause an improperly
tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off and spill
quantities of fuel. In order to reduce the risk of fuel
spillage and fire, tighten fuel filler cap by hand as
securely as possible.
Before use always make sure that the fuel cap has
been properly tightened. Check for fuel leakage while
refuelling and during operation. If a fuel leak is
suspected, do not start or run the engine until leak is
fixed and spilled fuel has been wiped away.
Warning! The ignition system of your unit produces
an electromagnetic field of a very low intensity. This
field may interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce
the risk of serious or fatal injury, people with a
pacemaker fitted should consult their physician and
the pacemaker manufacturer before operating this
tool.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
Consult the Owner’s Manual for generator
safety precautions. Do not install, operate
or repair this equipment without reading
this manual and the safety precautions
throughout.
Use only genuine replacement parts
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical generator must always be grounded,
(connected to earth).
Petrol or diesel powered generators must never be
used in an unventilated closed spaces. The exhaust
fumes are highly dangerous and can cause “Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning” which will cause drowsiness
and death.
The generator must be mounted on a firm level
surface.
The electrical output load must not exceed the
maximum load stated on the rating plate.
Exceeding the rated load will damage the unit or
shorten its life and will invalidate the guarantee.
The engine must not be run at speeds that exceed the
maximum stated on the rating plate.
Operating an engine at excessive speeds increases
the hazard of personal injury.
Do not tamper with components, which may increase
or decrease the governed speed.
Mains extension leads, mains supply leads, and all
electrical equipment must be in good working
condition.
Never operate electrical equipment with damaged or
defective mains supply leads.
Keep the area around the generator clear of
obstructions at all times. Never locate the generator
against a building or near a canvas or plastic structure
i.e. Tents etc.
Always use the correct fuel as stated in the user
manual and on the rating plate.
To prevent fire, always stop the engine when refueling
and never over fill the fuel tank.
Always clean up spilt fuel immediately using sand.
Do not use the generator in or near an explosive
atmosphere.
To prevent an electric shock, never operate the
machine in rain, snow or touch with wet hands.
Check the fuel system periodically for leaks, seals and
hoses should be checked for signs of deterioration or
chafing. Check for loose or missing clamps, damaged
fuel tank or filler cap. All defects should be corrected
before further use.
Always allow the generator to reach full operating
speed before connecting any electrical load.
Always disconnect the electrical load before switching
the generator off.
To prevent surging that may possibly damage
electrical equipment, do not allow engine to run out of
fuel while electrical loads are connected.
Before transporting the generator in a vehicle, drain all
fuel to prevent leakage.
To prevent an electric shock and fire, never connect
an electrical load with the electrical output switched
on.
Do not connect the generator to any other electrical
source.
The engine speed has been factory set to provide safe
operation. Tampering with the engine speed
adjustment could result in overheating of attachments
and could cause a fire. Never attempt to “speed-up”
the engine to obtain more performance. Both the
output voltage and frequency will be thrown out of
standard by this practice, endangering attachments
and the user.
Store the generator in a well-ventilated area with the
fuel tank empty.
