WARNING

[CAUTION]

Indicates a possibility of death or serious injury if instructions are not followed.

Indicates a strong possibility of severe personal injury, loss of life and equipment damage if instructions

are not followed.

• The generator is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions.

• Do not operate the generator before you have read and understood the instructions. Failure to do so

could result in death, personal injury or equipment damage.

Indicates a possibility of personal injury or equipment damage if instructions are not followed.

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a

poison you cannot see or smell.

Never let spilt fuel REACH HOT PART of Generator.

NEVER use inside a home

or garage, EVEN IF doors

and windows are open.

Only use OUTSIDE and

far away from windows,

doors, and vents.

NOTE :

Gives helpful information.

If a problem should arise, or if you have any questions about the generator, consult an authorized dealer

or service shop

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Please make sure you review each precaution carefully.

Do not operate the generator near fuel because of the potential danger of explosion or re. Do not ll

the fuel tank with fuel while the engine is running. Do not smoke or use naked ame near the fuel tank.

Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling. If fuel is spilt, wipe it o and let dry before starting the engine.

Do not place ammables near the generator.

Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or any other in ammables

near the generator.

Do not enclose the generator nor cover it with a box. The generator has a built-in forced air cooling

system, and may become overheated if it is enclosed. If generator has been covered to protect it from the

weather during non use, be sure to remove it and keep it well away from the area during generator use.

Operate the generator on a level surface.

It is not necessary to prepare a special foundation for the generator. However, the generator will vibrate

on an irregular surface, so choose a level place without surface irregularities. If the generator is tilted

or moved during operation, fuel may spill and / or the generator may tip over, causing a hazardous

situation. Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the generator is operated on a steep incline or slope.

In such a case, piston seizure may occur even if the oil is above the upper level.

Pay attention to the wiring or extension cables from the generator to the connected device. If the wire is

under the generator or in contact with a vibrating part, it may break and possibly cause a re, generator

burnout, or electric shock hazard. Replace damaged or worn cables immediately.

Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands. The operator may suer severe

electric shock if the generator is wet due to rain or snow.

Do not operate the generator inside a room, cave, tunnel, or other insuciently ventilated area.

Always operate it in a well-ventilated area, otherwise the engine may become overheated, and the

poisonous carbon monoxide gas an odorless, colorless, poison gas, contained in the exhaust gas will

endanger human lives. Operate generator only outdoors and far from open windows, doors,

ventilation intakes and other openings. Keep the generator at least 1 metre (3 feet) away , including

overhead, from any structure or building use.

WARNING

If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator, nor wash it

with water.

Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding procedures are followed during each and

every use. Failure to do so can be fatal.

Do not contact the generator to a commercial power line. Connection to a commercial power line

may short circuit the generator and ruin it or cause electric shock hazard. Use the transfer switch for

connecting to domestic circuit.

No smoking while handling the battery. The battery emits ammable hydrogen gas, which can explode

if exposed to electric arcing or naked ame. Keep the area well-ventilated and keep naked ames/sparks

away when handling the battery.

Engine becomes extremely hot during and for some time after operation. Keep combustible materials

well away from generator area. Be very careful not to touch any parts of the hot engine especially the

muer area or serious burns may result.

Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work areas.

It is absolutely essential that you know the safe and proper use of the power tool or appliance that you

intend to use. All operators must read, understand and follow the tool/appliance owners manual. Tool

and appliance applications and limitations must be understood. Follow all directions given on labels and

warnings. Keep all instruction manuals and literature in a safe place for future reference.

Use only “LISTED” extension cables. When a tool or appliance is used outdoors, use only extension

cables marked “For Outdoor Use”. Extension cables, when not in use should be stored in a dry and well

ventilated area

Always switch o generator’s AC circuit breaker and disconnect tools or appliances when not in use,

before servicing, adjusting, or installing accessories and attachments.

Make sure the engine is stopped before starting any maintenance, servicing or repair. Make sure

maintenance and repair of the generator set are performed by properly trained personnel only.

PRE OPERATION CHECKS

CHECK ENGINE OIL

RECOMMENDED ENGINE OIL :

Before checking or relling oil, be sure generator is located on

stable and level surface with engine stopped.

• Remove oil ller cap and check the engine oil level.

• If oil level is below the lower level line, rell with suitable

oil (see table) to upper level line. Do not screw in the

oil ller cap when checking oil level.

• Change oil if contaminated. (See “How-To” Maintenance.)

Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil of API service class SE or higher grade (SG, SH or SJ is

recommended). SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 is recommended for general, all-temperature use. If single

viscosity oil is used, select the appropriate viscosity for the average temperature in your area

WARNING

PRE OPERATION CHECKS

GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

•GROUNDING SPIKE NOT SUPPLIED!•To ground the generator to the earth, connect the grounding lug of the generator to the grounding spike driven into the earth or to the conductor which has been already grounded to the earth.

• If such grounding conductor or grounding electrode is unavailable, connect the grounding lug of the generator to the grounding terminal of the using electric tool or appliance.

•If using this as a portable generator for tools and standalone items, the grounding spike is not needed.•The grounding spike is only required if plugging into your homes/buildings electrical supply, you will also require a transfer switch if plugging into homes/buildings.Death, personal injury and/or property damage may occur unless instructions are followed

carefully.

• Use battery of recommended capacity.
