Special safety instructions
REMEMBER TO FILL WITH OIL BEFORE USE!
Fuel and fuelling
•
Never use mixed leaded petrol, diesel or other
fuels.
•
Ensure water or dirt cannot enter fuel tank
during fuelling.
•
Remove any spilt fuel with a dry cloth after
fuelling.
•
Smoking and use of naked flame during
fuelling is forbidden.
•
Never fill up with fuel or engine oil when the
generator is running.
•
Do not overfill fuel or oil, as this can cause a
risk of fire.
•
Do not expose to direct sunlight when there is
fuel in the tank. Risk of fire.
Positioning
•
Store inflammable materials at a safe distance
from the engine as exhaust gases are very hot.
•
The generator must be at least 1 metre from
buildings and other objects when in use, to
ensure adequate ventilation.
•
Never use in rain or snow or at ambient
temperatures over 40° C.
•
Never use if there is insufficient ventilation.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbons that are highly dangerous to
humans and animals if inhaled.
•
The generator should stand on a level surface.
Operating
•
Never start the engine without the air filter in
place.
•
Do not use if the engine is running roughly or
is defective.
•
Do not allow others to operate the generator
without thorough instruction. Never allow
children to use the generator.
•
Avoid touching engine components during or
immediately after use. They may be very hot.
Allow to cool completely before storing.
•
To prevent surging that may possibly damage
equipment, do not allow engine to run out of
fuel when electrical loads are applied.
•
Never connect to mains electricity.
•
The generator must be earthed to prevent
electric shock. Connect a heavy-duty cable
between the generator earth terminal and an
external earth lead.
•
Do not connect electrical equipment to the
generator before it is started, and note that
most electrical appliances require more Watts
than stated on the type plate when starting.
Connect only electrical equipment in good
condition.
•
Load must be kept within rating stated on
generator nameplate.
•
Avoid bridge-coupling of power outlets. Risk
of electric shock. Never connect to another
generator.
•
When charging car batteries and the like,
observe all relevant safety rules. Be particularly
aware that battery acid is corrosive and that
explosive gases can be created.
