Keep this Operation and Maintenance Manual handy so that it can be referred to at any time.
This Operation and Maintenance Manual is considered a permanent part of the generator and
should remain with the generator.
Hazard Awareness Notice
Abide by all warnings within this manual. Improper operation can result in injury, damage the
generator, or other property. Most injuries or property damage can be prevented by following all
instructions in this manual. Report all hazards. If at any time you detect a hazard, it is your
responsibility to report the hazard through your chain-of-command to ensure that it is corrected.
This action ensures that this hazard is investigated, publicized, or corrected, as required.
The Ex-Power DEFENDER is designed for 1kW operation. Major generator
repairs are only done safely by Novatio Engineering trained personnel. Know
how to stop the generator in case of an emergency. Operators can be burned from
hot parts. Let the engine exhaust system cool, since
the exhaust system gets hot
enough to burn flesh or ignite materials. Exhaust from the generator contains
poisonous carbon monoxide in unventilated spaces, which can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death. Therefore, do not run generator in a
confined area. To prevent electrical shock from generator, do not use generator in
wet conditions. Before refueling, turn engine off and allow generator to cool to
prevent fuel fires. Only refuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area and wipe up fuel
spills immediately. Keep flames and other sparks away from generator while
refueling.
