Electric

Shock

Haeards

The

enough

electric

power

to

cause

a

serious

shock

or

electrocution

if

misused.

Using

When transporting

the

generator, turn

the

engine switch

OFF

period,

please

store it:

1.Changes in the

fuel

quality

could

cause poor

engine

Then pull the

starter rope several times.

At

the last time,

when

resistance is felt return the starter rope gently,

and

this

will help protect the engine from corrosion.
