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 persons 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 explosion protection must be
observed.
1.7.
Regularly check that the bolts and nuts are properly tightened as they may become lose 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 connect 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 genertor whislt 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 operators maunal. The tool and appliance
