SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Refuelling Safety Instrucons
•Do not rell the fuel tank while the engine is running.
•Be careful to prevent fuel spillage during rells.
•Be sure the fuel tank cap is securely in place before starng the engine.
•Allow engine to cool for at least two minutes before refuelling.
•Never refuel whilst smoking or in the vicinity of a naked ame.
•Take care not to spill any fuel on the engine, exhaust or any part of the generator.
Should any fuel make contact with your clothes; change and wash them
immediately.
•If any fuel makes contact with your skin wash with soap and water immediately.
•If you swallow any fuel, inhale any vapour or allow contact with your eyes, seek
medical aenon immediately.
•Be sure to store petrol in clean containers that do not contain water, dirt or rust
because this will reduce the life of the engine; ensure that all local fuel storage
laws are followed.
Flammable: The fuel used to run this generator (diesel) is highly
ammable. Never re-fuel the generator whilst it is sll running. Store
unused fuel safely and away from children and in accordance with
local regulaons / laws.
Cauon: Never aempt to connect the generator directly to the
electrical system of any building / structure which is connected to
the main grid.
Electrical current from the generator may “back feed” into the home’s electrical
system. It could cause damage or re to the building, the generator as well as
anything connected to it. Should a generator be required to be connected to any
electrical system, it must be installed by a suitably qualied electrician who can warn
you of any dangers that may occur.
Incorrectly installed generators can also cause personal injury. For example, if a
power company employee is working on an electrical line believing it to be “dead”
and current created by the generator is in the line, shock or electrocuon may occur.
The key to beer safeguard against these dangers is professional installaon by a
qualied electrician and the installaon of a generator transfer switch.
Keep in mind a generator burns fuel and must be run in a well venlated area, it must
not be run in a garage or other outbuilding.
Cords used to connect the generator to the lights and appliances must be correctly
sized to prevent overheang or damage to the equipment as well.
