WARNING!
Do not use the generator in or near an explosive atmosphere. To prevent
an electric shock, never operate the machine in rain, snow or touch with wet hands.
•
Check the fuel system periodically for leaks, seals and hoses should be checked
for signs of deterioration or chafing.
•
Check for loose or missing clamps, damaged fuel tank or filler cap. All defects
should be corrected before further use.
•
Always allow the generator to reach full operating speed before connecting any
electrical load.
•
Always disconnect the electrical load before switching the generator off.
•
To prevent surging that may possibly damage electrical equipment, do not allow
engine to run out of fuel while electrical loads are connected.
•
Before transporting the generator in a vehicle, drain all fuel to prevent leakage.
•
To prevent an electric shock and fire, never connect an electrical load with the
electrical output switched on.
•
Do not connect the generator to any other electrical source.
•
The engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation. Tampering
with the engine speed adjustment could result in overheating of attachments
and could cause a fire. Never attempt to “speed-up” the engine to obtain more
performance. Both the output voltage and frequency will be thrown out of
standard by this practice, endangering attachments and the user.
•
Store the generator in a well-ventilated area with the fuel tank empty.
WARNING! THE GENERATOR MUST CORRECTLY EARTHED
Please refer to a licenced electrician for the correct earthing procedure for you gen-
erator and situation.

RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD)
This generator is filled with a RCD to provide an additional layer of protection. The RCD
should be tested regularly. For on site work it is recommended to be tested daily
WARNING!
Do not use the generator if the RCD is faulty
TO TEST THE RCD
•
Disconnect any appliance or tools from the outlets sockets.
•
Start the engine and allow the generator to stabilise.
•
Press the the TEST button on the front of the RCD.
The RCD should trip!
If the RCD does NOT trip it should be immediately replaced by an
authorised service centre or qualified electrician.
•
Reset the RCD after testing or power will not be available at the
outlet sockets.
NOTE:
The RCD can only be tested when the engine is running.

OIL ALERT SYSTEM (OIL WARNING)
The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient
amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a
safe limit, the Oil Alert system will automatically shut down the engine (the engine
switch will remain in the ON position).
