If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water.
•
If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at
least 15 minutes and call a physician immediately.
•
Electrolyte is poisonous. If swallowed, drink large
quantities of water or milk and follow with milk of
magnesia or vegetable oil and call a physician.
•
To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the
battery, connect charging cables first to the battery, then
to the generator. Disconnect cables first at the generator.
Note.
Never leave the DC plug in the generator when
not using the DC for charging batteries. Always remove
the DC plug from the socket. In most cases it is acceptable
to use both the 12V DC for battery charging and the
AC 240V outlet at the same time. However, when the
generator is working close to the maximum load, the
generator may go into over load where the AC load will
need to be reduced or disconnected.
Generator maintenance
Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all times. The
generator should not be stored or operated in environments
that includes excessive moisture, dust or any corrosive
vapours. If these substances are on the generator, clean with
a cloth or soft bristle brush. Do not use a garden hose or
anything with water pressure to clean the generator. Water
may enter the cooling air slots and could possibly damage the
rotor, stator and the internal windings of the generator head.
Storage
If you are going to store your generator for more than 30
days, use the following information as a guide to prepare
the generator for storage.
Never store the generator with fuel in the tank indoors or in
enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fumes can reach
an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water
heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.

It is recommended that you keep a log of the hours of operation to determine correct maintenance requirements.
Generators that are used in dusty conditions/areas should be serviced more frequently. All servicing should be conducted by
an authorized service agent.
