General warnings and disclaimer
READ and UNDERSTAND this manual completely before using the engine! Failure to
properly set up, operate, and maintain this engine could result in serious injury or death
from carbon monoxide poisoning, electric shock, re/explosion, or burns. In particular, be
aware of the following hazards:
CO Poisoning
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odourless, colourless poisonous gas that can kill
you. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it.
ONLY run engine OUTDOORS and AWAY from building air intakes. NEVER run engine
inside any enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces, including homes, basements, garages,
sheds, boxes, RVs, boats or pick-up truck beds. These spaces can trap poisonous
gases, EVEN if you run a fan or open windows.
Electric Shock / Electrocution
High voltage electricity from the generator can kill. DO NOT operate in wet locations. Be
sure the generator is properly grounded. Use only outdoor-rated grounded extension
cords of proper size. NEVER plug the generator directly into a wall outlet. ANY
connection to a building’s electrical system MUST ISOLATE THE GENERATOR FROM
UTILITY POWER via a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician. Otherwise,
back feed from the generator into the power grid could kill utility workers.
Heat
Unintentional spark can result in re or electric shock.
Fire / Explosion
DO NOT overload engine (per rated capacity) and OPERATE ONLY in an area with
adequate cooling ventilation so engine does not overheat. Exhaust can be extremely
hot. Keep mufer at least 2 metres from all combustible objects.
All fuels are ammable. Never fuel a running or hot engine. Never pump fuel directly into
engine at petrol station – use an approved container to transfer fuel. Ensure there are
no fuel leaks, and keep sources of sparks and ames away. Wait for the engine to cool
before fueling. ALWAYS keep a re extinguisher rated “ABC” nearby.

STOP!
CHOOSE THE RIGHT GENERATOR FOR YOUR NEEDS. See the Power Load
Planning & Management section on page 21 to determine your power load requirements
and then compare to the generator’s rated capacity.
INSPECT COMPONENTS: Closely inspect to make sure no components are missing or
damaged. ARRANGE FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION of a transfer switch if you
will be connecting the generator to your building’s electrical system. See the “Generator
Set-Up” section for more information about this requirement.
General safety rules for operation
!WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications provided with
this generator. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, re
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
This equipment is to be only used for the purpose for which it is designed and intended.
Seek assistance if required when moving or lifting the generator.
Work area safety
• Intended for outdoor use only. DO not operate in conned spaces or indoors, carbon
monoxide released in the exhaust can kill.
• Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a generator. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
• This generator is not weatherproof. Exposure to rain, damp conditions or extreme /
temperature can cause damage or serious injury.
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
generator. Do not use a generator while you are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention may result in serious personal
injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Wear approved
safety impact eye goggles. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the generator in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewellery. Keep
your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of generator allow you to become
complacent and ignore safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
• For your own safety, do not operate your generator until it is completely assembled and
installed according to the instructions and until you have read and understood all of the
instructions.
Generator safety rules
• Do not force the generator. Use the correct generator for your application. The
correct generator will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the generator if the engine switch does not turn it on and off. Any
generator that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Know proper use / how to stop. Be thoroughly familiar with proper use of the
equipment and all engine controls, output receptacles, and connections. Know how to
stop the engine quickly (see “Stopping the Generator”).
• Instruct operators. The engine owner must instruct all operators in safe engine set-up
and operation. Only trained adults should set up and operate the engine – Do not let
children operate.
• Intended use. Carefully read about and understand the intended use of this engine.
Do not use for other purposes, as unforeseen hazards or equipment damage may
result.
• Under the inuence. Never operate, or let anyone else operate the engine while
under the inuence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
• Safety equipment / controls. Do not operate the engine unless all safety covers,
guards, and barriers are in place and in good working order, and all controls are
properly adjusted for safe operation.
• Damaged. Do not operate the generator with damaged, missing, or broken parts.
• Modications. Do not modify the generator in any way. Modications can create
serious safety hazards and will also void the warranty.

10
• Generator speed. Never attempt to modify the generator speed setting. The generator
speed is preset for safe and optimal performance of the generator. If speed needs
adjusting, it must be done by factory authorised personnel.
• External fuel sources. Never attempt to connect external fuel sources in order to
increase generator run time. Larger tank at pressure or higher elevation will cause to
leak from carburettor during operation. Fire or explosion could result.
• Adjusting / repairing. Always turn off generator and remove spark plug(s) or spark
plug wire(s) before working on the generator to prevent accidental starting. Always
discharge the capacitor before working on the generator head to prevent electrical
shock.
• Carbon monoxide poisoning. The running generator gives off carbon monoxide,
a poisonous gas that can kill you. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it. Follow
all instructions for site selection and positioning the generator, and avoid inhaling
the exhaust. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut off
the generator and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon
monoxide poisoning.
• Malfunction during operation. Immediately turn off the generator if any of the
following conditions arise during operation:
Excessive change in generator speed, slow or fast
Sparking or arcs from generator
Loss of electrical output
Receptacle damage
Generator misre
Excessive vibration
Flame or smoke
Abnormal noise
• Other exhaust dangers. This product contains or emits chemical known to the
Commonwealth of Australia to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Avoid inhalation of exhaust.
• Wet conditions. Do not operate the engine or handle any electrical equipment while
standing in water, while barefoot, while hands are wet or while in the rain or snow.
Electric shock may result.
• Avoid contact. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections, etc. while the
unit is running.
