startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or
laceration.
When starting engine, pull the recoil cord slowly until
resistance is felt (compression point), release cord slowly back
use one strong rapid pull to start to avoid any kickback, if the
engine does not start repeat the process. Do Not rigorously

Fuel Safety
DANGER
PETROL AND PETROL VAPORS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Petrol and petrol vapors:
–Petrol is highly flammable and explosive.
–Petrol can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
–Petrol is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.
–Petrol is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately
if spilled on skin or clothes.
–Petrol has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
leaks quickly.
–Petrol expands or contracts with ambient temperatures. Never
fill the petrol tank to full capacity, as petrol needs room to
expand when temperatures rise.
–In the case of any petroleum petrol fire, flames should never
be extinguished unless the fuel supply valve can be turned
OFF. By not doing so, if a fire is extinguished and the supply
of fuel is not turned OFF, an explosion hazard could be created.
When adding or removing petrol:
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
Turn the generator off and let cool for at least 30 minutes before
removing the petrol cap. Always loosen the cap slowly to relieve
pressure in the tank.
NEVER try to refuel indoors or inside any building.Only fill or drain
petrol outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump petrol directly into the generator at the gas station.
Always use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the
generator.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
Always keep petrol away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat and other sources of ignition.
When starting the generator:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator.
Always check that the fuel cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines and
exhaust system are properly in place.
Always allow spilled petrol to evaporate fully before attempting to
start the engine.
Always be certain that the generator is resting firmly on level
ground.
When operating the generator:
DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.
When transporting or servicing the generator:
Always check that the fuel valve is in the OFF position and the
petrol tank is empty.
For Propane compatible models, check that the Propane cylinder is
disconnected and stored securely away from the generator.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
When storing the generator:
Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other
sources of ignition.
Do not store generator, petrol or Propane cylinders near furnaces,
water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have
automatic ignitions.
DANGER
NEVER place a petrol container, petrol tank, Propane cylinder
or any combustible material in the path of the exhaust stream
during operation of the engine.
WARNING
Never use a petrol container, fuel tank, or any other fuel item
that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.
