1. GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Danger
Warning
Caution
1.1.
A "LAYMAN” and or “CHILDREN” may not
recognize the possible dangers of operating
a generator. We recommend that only
competent person should operate the
generator.
1.2.
Fuel is combustible and easily ignited.
Do not refuel during operation.
1.3.
Do not refuel whilst smoking or near
naked flames. Do not overfill or spill fuel. If
this happens, clean the fuel on and around
the generator properly before operating.
1.4.
Only use the specified fuel when
operating the generator
1.5.
Some parts of the internal-combustion
engine are hot and might cause burns. Pay
attention to the warning signs on the
generating set.
1.6.
Engine exhaust gases are toxic. Do not
operate the generator in an unventilated
room. When installed in a ventilated room,
additional requirements for fire and explo-
sion protection must be observed.
1.7.
Regularly check that the bolts and nuts
are properly tightened as they may become
loose due to vibration of the generator whilst
in use.
1.8.
Before using the generator ensure that
you have checked the periodic maintenance
schedule in the operator's manual.
1.9.
Pay attention to the wiring or extension
cords from the generator to the connected
device. If the wire is under the generator or in
contact with a vibrating part, it may break
and possibly cause a fire, generator burnout,
or electric shock hazard. Replace damaged or
worn cords immediately.
1.10.
Do not operate in rain, wet or damp
conditions, or with wet hands. The operator
may suffer severe electric shock if the
generator is wet.
1.11.
If wet, wipe and dry it well before
starting. Do not pour water directly over the
generator, nor was hit with water.
1.12.
Be extremely careful that all necessary
electrical grounding procedures are followed
during each and every use. Failure to do so
can be fatal.
1.13.
Do not connect the generator to a
commercial power line. Connecting to a
commercial power line may short circuit the
generator. We strongly recommend the use
of a Transfer Switch for connecting to a
domestic circuit.
1.14.
Do not smoke when handling the
battery. The battery emits flammable
hydrogen gas, which can explode if exposed
to cigarettes and or naked flames. Keep the
area well-ventilated and keep naked flames/
sparks away when handling the battery.
1.15.
Keep children and all bystanders at a
safe distance from the generator whilst in
use.
1.16.
It is absolutely essential that you know
and understand the safe and proper use of
the power tool or appliance that you intend
to connect to the generator. All operators
must read, understand and follow the
tool/appliance operator’s manual. The tool
and appliance applications and
1.17.
Always switch off the circuit breaker on
the generator when not in use.
