battery leads are NOT allowed to touch and cause a spark. ALWAYS use suitable
insulated tools.
1.60 Vibrations (where applicable).
1.61 Prolonged use of hand held (operated) machines will cause the user to feel the
effects of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead to white finger (Raynaud’s
phenomenon) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the ability of the
hand to feel and regulate temperature, causing numbness and heat sensations and
may cause never damage and circulatory tissue death.
1.62 Not all factors that lead to white finger disease are known, but cold weather, smoking
and other diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as well as large
and long-lasting impact of shocks are considered factors in the formation of white
finger. Note the following to reduce the risk of white finger and carpal tunnel
syndrome;
1.63 Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
1.64 Take regular breaks.
1.65 All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white finger disease but not
rule out the carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are therefore
recommended to observe the condition of your hands and fingers. Seek medical
attention immediately if any of the above symptoms should occur.

This total should NOT be greater than the generators wattage capacity.
The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs.
The rated wattage of tools, appliances and motors can usually be found on a data
label or decal affixed to the devices.
If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wattage, multiply volts x ampere rating to
determine watts.
(volts x amps = watts)
5.9 Some electrical induction motors require about three times more power for starting
than for running.
This surge of power only lasts a few seconds when starting.
You MUST make sure you allow for high starting wattage when selecting electrical
devices to connect to the generator.
5.10 Calculate the watts needed to start the largest motor.
5.11 Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected loads.
5.12 Start the largest motor first and only one motor at atime.
5.13 The engine is equipped with a low oil level sensor that shuts down theengine
automatically when the oil level drops below a specific level.
5.14 If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough petrol, check the
engine oil level. Engine oil level should be checked daily.
5.15 To remain emissions compliant at high altitude (altitudes over 5,000 feet or 1524
meters) adjustment is required. This adjustment will cause decreased performance,
increased fuel consumption and increased emissions.
Contact your dealer for high altitude adjustment information.
5.16 Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet or 762 meters with thehigh
altitude kit is not recommended.
5.17 The DC socket is only used for charging a 12V battery.

16

DO NOT reverse the charging cable as this could damage the generator orbattery.
5.21 Before connecting the charger to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, thenegative
battery cable must be disconnectedfirst.
This will prevent sparks or a short circuit if the cable accidentally contacts the
vehicles body.
5.22 DO NOT start the vehicle with the battery charger connected to the battery,
otherwise the generator will be damaged.
5.23 A battery can release explosive gasses.
Keep the battery away from any sources of ignition.
5.24 Charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
5.25 Battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid that can cause severe burns to the skin or
eyes.
The correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) MUST be worn when handling
batteries.
5.26 If battery electrolyte gets on to the skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with warm water for
at least 15 minutes and call a Doctor immediately.
5.27 If you swallow any battery electrolyte, rinse your mouth with water and drink plentyof
water or milk (with magnesia or vegetable oil) and call a Doctorimmediately.
5.28 The DC socket can be used while the AC socket is in use.
5.29 If you use both at the same time, be sure not to exceed the total power for AC &DC.
5.30 If the DC circuit overloads it will trip the DC circuit protector.
To reset, remove the load first and then reset the trip switch after a few minutes.
ECONOMY SWITCH
