2. WARNING SIGNS
The generator is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated
according to instructions. Read and understand this manual carefully before
operating the generator, or it may cause serious injury and equipment
damage.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Do not operate generator in
confined area. Be sure to operate the generator in a well-ventilated
environment or with an aerator. Using a generator indoors will kill you in
minutes. Never use in the home or in a partly enclosed area such as garages.
Only use outdoors and far from open windows doors and vents.
The exhaust becomes very hot during operating and remains hot for a while after stopping
the engine. Be careful not to touch the exhaust while it is hot. Let the engine cool before
storing the generator indoor
The engine exhaust system will be heated during operation and remain hot immediately after
stopping the engine. To prevent scalding, pay more attention to the warning label/marks
attached to the generator.
BE CAREFUL - Electric shock risk - Do not parallel connect other cables to plugs/sockets, use
special adaptors.
3. ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
Petrol is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated area with engine
stopped. Keep fuel away from cigarettes, and other sources of ignition such as sparks from grinding tools etc, when
refueling the generator.
Connection for standby power to a building electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician. The connection
must isolate the generator from utility power, and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator to back-feed into
the utility lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a
power outage, and the generator may explode, or cause fires when utility power is restored. Back-feeding is illegal
and highly dangerous.
To avoid accidents and equipment damage, check generator and system every time and before starting engine.
Keep the generator a distance at least 1 metre from other equipment or other equipment during operation.
Keep the generator horizontal when running, if generator is on an uneven surface (i.e. tilted), it may cause fuel
spillage.
Generator operators must be trained, and must know how to stop the generator quickly and understand the operation
of all controllable parts. Untrained operators should not be allowed to use this equipment.
Keep children and pets away from operation area.
Keep away from rotating parts during operation.
The generator is a potential source of electrical shock when misused. Do not operate it with wet hands or in any wet
location.
Do not operate the generator in rain, snow or let it get wet.
