EQUIPMENT SAFETY
(continued)
•
Do not tamper with parts, which may increase or decrease the governed speed.
•
When using extension cords, please make sure they are grounded with sufficient wire gauge for the application.
Heavy-duty outdoor rated cords will handle household appliance loads.
•
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials. Do not operate the engine near combustible
materials.
•
Do not store fuel indoors or try to refuel a generator while it is still running. Clean up any spilled fuel before
restarting the engine.
•
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful
not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.
•
Turn off all equipment powered by the generator before shutting down your generator.
•
To prevent electric shock or fire, never use the machine in rain or snow or connect the generator to a live circuit.
•
Do not connect the generator to another power supply outlet.
•
Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit breakers specifically matched to the generating set. If the
circuit breakers require replacement they must be replaced with a circuit breaker having identical ratings and
performance characteristics.
•
Ensure the generator does not have any damaged hoses, loose or missing clamps, damaged tank or cap before
use. All defects should be corrected before use.
•
To prevent surging that may possibly damage equipment, do not allow the engine to run out of fuel when
electrical loads are applied.
•
Before transporting the generator ensure that all the fuel is drained to prevent leakage.
•
Unit must meet operating speed before electrical loads are connected. Always disconnect any loads before
turning off the generator.
•
Keep children and pets away from the generator at all times.
•
The installation and major repair of the generator should only be carried out by trained and fully qualified
engineers.
•
Ensure appropriate ear protection is worn when working in close proximity to the generator.
•
When using extension cables or mobile electric net use the following guidelines:
Cable Diameter
Maximum Length
1.5
60m
2.5
100m
WARNING:
• Do not cover the unit when in use.
• The unit should be earthed using 4mm diameter grounding wire.
• Do not use the generator in wet or damp conditions.
• Store the generator in well-ventilated area with an empty fuel tank.
