ENGINE SPEED.
Never attempt to modify the engine speed setting. The engine speed is
preset at 3000 RPM for safe and optimal performance of the generator. If speed needs
adjusting, it must be done by authorized service centre.
•
EXTERNAL FUEL SOURCES.
Never attempt to connect external gasoline/diesel sources in
order to increase engine run time. Larger tank at pressure or higher elevation will cause
gasoline to leak from carburettor during operation. Fire or explosion could result.
GENERATOR SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Do not smoke whilst refuelling
Fuel your generator in well-ventilated areas, outdoors only. Always shut off the en-
gine and allow it to cool before refuelling. Release fuel tank pressure by loosening the
fuel filler cap slowly.
WARNING!
Select bare ground for fuelling and move at least
3 m (10 feet) from fuelling spot before starting the engine. After refuelling, properly
tighten fuel cap; wipe off any spilled fuel and check for leakage.
WARNING!
If fuel gets spilled on clothes, especially trousers, it is very important to
change clothes immediately. Do not rely on evaporation. 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 the motor 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 physi-
cian and the pacemaker manufacturer before operating this generator.
WARNING!
Petrol or diesel powered generators must never be used in an unventi-
lated closed spaces.
•
The exhaust fumes are highly dangerous and can cause "Carbon Monoxide Poi-
soning" 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 rat-
ing plate.
•
Exceeding the rated load will damage the unit or shorten its life and will void the
warranty.
•
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 de-
crease 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 . Tents etc.
•
To prevent fire, always stop the engine when refuelling and never over fill the
fuel tank. Always clean up spilt fuel immediately using sand.
