1. Warnings for safety operation
General security instructions
•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 sures, 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 metres 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.
•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 authorised after-sales service centre.
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 aime of reducing the risk of 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.
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 vapours 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.
•Never fill the fuel tank while smoking or near a naked flame.
•Make sure you don’t spill fuel on the motor and the exhaust grille of the generator
during filling with fuel.
•Keep the fuel in an appropriate recipient and sheltered from any sources of fire.

5
•Carry out filling in a safe place, and slowly open the fuel cap to release the pressure
which has built up inside the tank. Wipe up any drops of petrol that have spilled
before starting the motor.
•To prevent fire, move the generator at least 4 metres away from the area for filling
with fuel.
•Make sure that the fuel cap is tightly closed before starting.
•Do not keep petrol in the tank for a long time.
•While using or transporting the generator, make sure you keep the generator upright,
otherwise the fuel may escape from the carburettor or the fuel tank.
Electrical safety
Before each use ensure that the load to be connected does not exceed the power of
the current produced by the generator.
To avoid electric shock, you must follow the following instructions:
•Do not touch the generator with wet hands.
•Do not run the generator under rain or snow.
•Do not run the generator near water.
•Connect the generator to earth. Use a sufficiently thick conductor for the earth wire.
•Do not operate the generator in parallel with another generator.
•If using electrical extensions, make sure that they are sufficiently thick to transport
the current and that they are used correctly.
The connection of a generator used for auxiliary power to the electrical installation of a
building must be performed by a qualified electrician, and in conformity to the provisions
of the applicable laws and norms in the field of electricity. Incorrect connections will
cause leakage of the current from the generator into the lines of the public electricity
company. Such leakage could electrocute the workers of the public electricity company
working on the network or other persons in contact with the line during a power cut.
Also, when the public power supply is re-established, the generator can explode, catch
fire or generate fires in the building’s electrical installation.
Before connecting electrical devices to the generator, make sure that their voltage
specifications and frequency of functioning correspond to the technical characteristics
of the generator. There may be damage if the device connected is not designed to
function with a voltage tolerance of +/- 10% or a frequency tolerance of +/- 3 %
compared with those of the generator.

Protection of the environment
•You must periodically check the silencer (Before doing this, switch off the generator
and let it cool completely). A damaged silencer increases noise.
•Do not throw motor oil into the drains but deposit it at a collection point set up for that
purpose.
•The fuel for this machine is combustible and explosive. After stopping the machine,
you must handle the remaining fuel correctly and meet local environmental
requirements.

Checks before start
1. Remove the oil access door, unscrew the dipstick to check the oil. If oil level is below the
bottom of the dipstick, add the recommended oil (oil capacity: 0.45L). Use a strong detergency,
four-stroke engine oil and choose proper viscosity of the oil according to your area's average
temperature.
2. Install side access panel.
3. Unscrew the fuel tank cap to add gasoline to the fuel tank. Please use unleaded
