Page: 7 / 24

2400w PORTABLE GENERATOR SMK37GEN
Flammable quantities of fuel may remain on clothes after a spill for longer than expected.
Warning!
Vibrations can cause an improperly tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off and spill quantities of fuel.
In order to reduce the risk of fuel spillage and fire, tighten fuel filler cap by hand as securely as possible.
Before use always make sure that the fuel cap has been properly tightened. Check for fuel leakage while
refuelling and during operation. If a fuel leak is suspected, do not start or run the engine until leak is
fixed and spilled fuel has been wiped away.
Warning!
The ignition system of your unit produces an electromagnetic field of a very low intensity.This field may
interfere with some pacemakers.To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, people with a pacemaker
fitted should consult their physician and the pacemaker manufacturer before operating this tool.
Electrical Generator
Warning!
Electrical generator must always be grounded, (connected to earth).
Warning! Petrol or diesel powered generators must never be used in an unventilated closed spaces.
The exhaust fumes are highly dangerous and can cause "Carbon Monoxide Poisoning" which will cause
drowsiness and death.
The generator must be mounted on a firm level surface.
The electrical output load must not exceed the maximum load stated on the rating plate.
Exceeding the rated load will damage the unit or shorten its life and will invalidate the guarantee.
The engine must not be run at speeds that exceed the maximum stated on the rating plate.
Operating an engine at excessive speeds increases the hazard of personal injury.
Do not tamper with components, which may increase or decrease the governed speed.
Mains extension leads, mains supply leads, and all electrical equipment must be in good working
condition.
Never operate electrical equipment with damaged or defective mains supply leads.
Keep the area around the generator clear of obstructions at all times. Never locate the generator
against a building or near a canvas or plastic structure i.e.Tents etc.
Always use the correct fuel mix as stated in the user manual and on the rating plate.
To prevent fire, always stop the engine when refueling and never over fill the fuel tank.
Always clean up spilt fuel immediately using sand.
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.
