
Keep a fire extinguisher rated “ ABC ” nearby. Keep it properly
charged and be familiar with its use.
NO WET CONDITIONS
Choose a location where the generator will NOT be exposed to rain, snow or
direct sunlight. Exposure to water can cause an electric shock. You may
operate the generator under an outdoor canopy-like structure of heat-
resistant material that is open on all sides.
Make sure that all parts of the canopy are at least 2m from the exhaust and
allow for adequate clearance above the generator so that heat does not
build up.
OPERATE AWAY FROM DUST/DIRT
Do not use the generator in extremely dusty or dirty conditions. Excessive
dust and dirt can cause premature failure of the machine.
HEARING PROTECTION
Generators can product noise levels >70dB in close proximity, which can be
dangerous to human hearing with prolonged exposure to the running
generator for an extended period of time.
An Important Message about Temperatures
Your generator is designed and rated for continuous operation at ambient
temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius. When your generator is needed, it
may be operated at temperatures ranging from -15 degrees Celsius to 50
degrees Celsius for short periods. If the generator is exposed to
temperatures outside this range during storage, it should be brought back
within this range before operation.
In any event, the generator must always be operated outdoors, in a well-
ventilated area and away from doors, windows and other vents.
When operated above 25 degrees Celsius, there may be a decrease in
power.
