1. SAFETY INFORMATION
1.1 OPERATOR ATTENTION
 Read and understand this manual before operating the
generator.
 Place the generator in a place where pedestrians, children and
pets are not likely to touch. Never let children operate the
generator.
 Turn OFF the Fuel Tap, Close the Fuel Cap tightly and turn
OFF the Fuel Cap Vent Lever before putting down the
generator.
 DO NOT remove any cover of the generator case when the
engine is running. If not, inverter, alternator or other electric
 The generator is allowed to be put
down, but ONLY lay on the Drawbar
Side, and only after stopping the
engine. If lay down on other side,
OIL may leak and damage the
engine or your property. Also FUEL
may leak and cause FIRE or an
EXPLOSION.

- 10 -
parts may be damaged because of bad cooling.
1.2 EXHAUST FUMES HAZARDS
 Exhaust fumes contains poisonous carbon monoxide（CO）,
a colorless and odorless gas. Breathing CO can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death.
 Never run your generator inside a garage or house, even if
door or window is open. Operate the generator in a well-
ventilated area.

- 11 -
1.3 ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARDS
 Never operate the engine in rain, snow or wet locations.
 Never touch the machine with wet hands.
 Ground unit to avoid electrical hazards.

- 12 -
1.4 FIRE AND BURN HAZARDS
 Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain
conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the
generator is refueled or where gasoline is stored. Refuel in a
well-ventilated area with the engine stopped and cooled.
 The generator is allowed to be put down, but ONLY lay down
on the Drawbar Side. If lay down on other side, OIL may leak
and damage the engine or your property. Also FUEL may leak
and cause FIRE or an EXPLOSION.
 The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains
hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to
touch the muffler while it is hot.
 Avoid placing any flammable materials near the exhaust outlet
during operation.

- 13 -
 Keep the generator at least 1 m (3 ft.) from buildings or other
equipment, or the generator may overheat.
 Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.
1.5 CONNECTION NOTES
 Do not connect to a building electrical system unless an
isolation switch has been installed by a qualified electrician.
 Avoid connecting the generator in parallel with any other
generator.

• The operator must know the principles of functioning and the structure of the
generator and the motor. He must know how to stop the motor in case of
urgency and how to manipulate the controls.
• Never let children use this device.
• Never let people who do not know these instructions use this device. Local
regulations may impose restrictions on the age of the user.
• Please do not use this device when people, especially children, or pets are
nearby. Direct them away from the working area.
• The operator or the user are responsible for possible accidents or damage to
other persons or to their property.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery as this can get caught in the machinery
as it runs.
• Use safety equipment. Wear protective gear such as an anti-dust mask, non-
slip safety shoes, and a helmet or hearing protection.
• Stay vigilant, watch what you are doing and show good sense when you use
the generator. Do not use if you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medicines.
• Install the generator in a place that is well ventilated and make sure that there
is at least 1.5 meters between the generator and the walls of the building or
other equipment. Do not place flammable liquids or gases near the generator.
• Do not run the generator in an enclosed or badly-ventilated space. The exhaust
gas from the motor contains carbon monoxide which is toxic and may lead to
a loss of consciousness or death.
• Run the generator in respect of the power indicated in the user’s manual. Do
not run the generator with an overload or at excessive speed.
• The silencer of the generator becomes extremely hot when the motor runs or
even for a time after it has stopped. Do not touch it as it will burn you.

- 18 -
• Do not transport or move the generator until it has cooled down.
• Perform periodic maintenance and resolve problems that appear immediately.
Do not run the generator before correcting any fault detected.
• The generator uses a system of air-cooling, and it is necessary to clean its
components regularly, including the grilles, the cover of the fan and the fan
itself so as to ensure cooling.
• Keep the fuel filter clean, and change the oil of the motor regularly.
• Periodically check the installation of the connections and the tightness of the
fixations, re-tightening them if necessary.
• Clean the components of the air filter periodically, and replace the air filter
when necessary.
• Remove any electrical equipment that is plugged in before starting or stopping
the generator.
• Before transporting the generator, you must empty the fuel tank.
• Maintenance and repair of the generator must be carried out by a qualified
technician from an authorized after-sales service center.
• The generator must not be altered or modified. Any intervention must be done
by an authorized after-sales service center.
• Installation and major repair work shall be carried out only by specifically
trained personnel
Warning: when you start the generator with the cord, watch out for sudden changes in
the rotation of the motor!!! Risk of wounding!!! Never cover the generator when it is
running. The cut-out mounted on the generator has the aimed of reducing the risk of

- 19 -
electric shock. If it needs to be replaced with another cut-out, the latter must correspond
to the technical specifications of the generator. Due to important mechanical constraints,
it is necessary to use a flexible sheathed cable with a strong rubber protective layer
(conforming to IEC 245-4) or a similar cable. If using an electrical extension cable, the
total length of the extension must not exceed 60m when the section of the wire is
1.5mm2 and must not exceed 100m when the section of the wire is 2.5mm2.
Additional requirements for low-power generating sets for use by laymen
• Protect children by keeping them at a safe distance from the generating set.
• Fuel is combustible and easily ignited. Do not refuel during operation. Do not
refuel while smoking or near naked flames. Do not spill fuel.
• Some parts of the internal combustion engine are hot and may cause burns. Pay
attention to the warnings on the generating set.
• Engine exhaust gases are toxic. Do not operate the generating set in
unventilated rooms. When installed in ventilated rooms, additional
requirements for fire and explosion protection shall be observed.
• Before use, the generating set and its electrical equipment (including lines and
plug connections) should be checked to ensure that they are not defective.
• Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit breakers specially
matched to the generating set. If the circuit breakers require replacement, they
should be replaced with a circuit breaker having identical ratings and
performances characteristics.

- 20 -
• Due to high mechanical stresses, only tough rubber-sheathed flexible cable (in
accordance with IEC 60245-4) or the equivalent should be used.
• The user shall conform to regulations of electrical safety applicable to the place
where the generating sets are used.
• The user must respect the requirements and precautions in the case of resupply
by generating sets of an installation, depending on existing protective measures
in this installation and applicable regulations.
• Generating sets should only be loaded up to their rated power under the rated
ambient conditions.
• Prior to commencing maintenance work it shall be ensured that untimely start-
up is not possible.
Security measures when filling the fuel tank
• The fuel is extremely flammable and poisonous.
• This generator only uses petrol (gasoline); any other kind of fuel will damage
the motor.
• Do not overfill the tank with petrol to avoid spilling. If you notice a spill, it
must be wiped up completely with a dry cloth before starting the motor.
• If you swallow fuel by mistake, if you inhale fuel vapors or if you get drops of
fuel in your eyes, see a doctor immediately. If a certain quantity of fuel is spilt
on your skin or clothing, wash or change your clothes.
• Always stop the motor of the generator when filling it with fuel.
