•
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.
Electrical safety
Before each use ensure that the load to be connected does not exceed the power of the current
produced by the generator.
To avoid electric shock, you must follow the following instructions:
•
Do not touch the generator with wet hands.
•
Do not run the generator under rain or snow.
•
Do not run the generator near water.
•
Connect the generator to earth. Use a sufficiently thick conductor for the earth wire.
•
Do not operate the generator in parallel with another generator.
•
If using electrical extensions, make sure that they are sufficiently thick to transport the current and that they
are used correctly.
The connection of a generator used for auxiliary power to the electrical installation of a
building must be performed by a qualified electrician, and in conformity to the provisions of the
