DIGITAL INVERTER GENERATOR
• Generator service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a generator, use only
genuine replacement parts. Follow all ap-
propriate instructions in this manual. Use
of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk
of electric shock or injury.
WARNING!
People with pacemakers should con-
sult their physician(s) before using this
product. Electromagnetic fields in close
proximity to a heart pacemaker could
cause interference to or failure of the
pacemaker.
Installation
• Ensure installation meets all applicable
safety, and local and national electrical
codes. Have installation performed by a
qualified, licensed electrician and building
contractor.
• All electrical work, including the earth con-
nection, should be completed by a licensed
electrician.
• Any separate fuel storage or generator
supply facility must be built or installed in
full compliance with all relevant local, state,
and federal regulations.
• It is recommended to use the generator
only in well ventilated outdoor areas. A run-
ning gasoline engine will generate carbon
monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas
that, if inhaled, can cause serious injury
or death. If the generator is installed in-
doors, exhaust fumes must be piped out of
the building using leak-free, heat resistant
piping. Pipes and silencer should not use
any flammable materials, nor should they
be installed near the same. Generator ex-
haust fumes must be within legal limits and
installation must always meet local building
codes.
• If the generator is installed outdoors, it
must be weatherproofed and should be
soundproofed. It should not be run out-
doors without protection of the generator
and wiring conduit.
• The supporting floor/ground surface should
be level, and strong enough to safely hold
the weight of the generator.
Mechanical
• Always make sure the power switch is in its
“OFF” position.
• Before carrying out maintenance, discon-
nect the spark plug wire, and allow the en-
gine to completely cool.
• Check for damaged parts. Before using the
generator, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and
binding of moving parts, any broken parts
or mounting fixtures, and any other condi-
tion that may affect proper operation tech-
nician.
• The generator is designed with guards for
protection from moving parts. In any case,
care must still be taken to protect person-
nel and equipment from other mechanical
hazards when working around the genera-
tor.
• Do not operate the generator with safety
guards removed. While the generator is
running, do not attempt to reach around
the safety guard for maintenance or any
other reason.
• Keep hands, arms, long hair, loose cloth-
ing, and jewellery away from moving parts.
