WARNING:

 

When this generator is used to supply a building 

wiring system:

 the generator must be installed by 

a  qualified  electrician  and  connected  to  a  transfer 

switch as a separately derived system in accordance 

with  NFPA  70,  National  Electrical  Code.  The 

generator  shall  be  connected  through  a  transfer 

switch  that  switches  all  conductors  other  than  the 

equipment  grounding  conductor.  Failure  to  isolate 

the generator from power utility can result in death or 

injury to electric utility workers. 

n

 

Exhaust  contains  poisonous  carbon  monoxide,  a 

colorless,  odorless  gas.  Breathing  exhaust  can  cause 

loss of consciousness and can lead to death. If running 

in  a  confined  or  partially-enclosed  area,  the  air  may 

contain  a  dangerous  amount  of  carbon  monoxide.  To 

keep  exhaust  fumes  from  building  up,  always  provide 

adequate ventilation.

n

 

Always  use  a  battery-powered  carbon  monoxide 

detector when running the generator. If you begin to feel 

sick, dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut it off 

and get to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You may 

have carbon monoxide poisoning.

n

 

Place the generator on a flat, stable surface with a slope 

of no more than 4°.

n

 

Operate  in  a  well-ventilated,  well-lit  area  isolated  from 

working areas to avoid noise interference.

n

 

Operating the generator in wet conditions could result in 

electrocution. Keep the unit dry.

n

 

Keep  the  generator  a  minimum  of  1m  away  from  all 

types of combustible material. 

n

 

Do not operate the generator near hazardous material.

n

 

Do  not  operate  the  generator  at  a  gas  or  natural  gas 

filling station.

n

 

Do  not  touch  the  muffler  or  cylinder  during  or 

immediately after use; they are HOT and will cause burn 

injury.

n

 

Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless a 

transfer switch has been properly installed by a qualified 

electrician.

n

 

Do  not  allow  the  generator’s  gas  tank  to  overflow 

when  filling.  Fill  to  25mm  below  the  top  neck  of  the 

unleaded fuel tank to allow for fuel expansion. Check the 

ventilation hole inside the fuel tank cap for debris. Do not 

block the vent.

n

 

Do not smoke when filling the generator with unleaded 

fuel.

n

 

Allow the engine to remain in a shut-down condition for 

at least five minutes before adding unleaded fuel or oil.

n

 

Do not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank cap when 

the engine is running.

n

 

Pay  close  attention  to  all  safety  labels  located  on  the

generator.

n

 

Keep  children  a  minimum  of  10  feet  away  from  the 

generator at all times.

n

 

The unit operates best in temperatures between 5°C and 

40°C with a relative humidity of 30~95%.

n

 

Do not operate the generator at altitudes above 1000m.

n

  When  using  extension  lines  or  mobile  distribution 

networks the total length of lines for a cross section of 

1.5mm

2

 should not exceed 60m; for a cross section of  

2.5mm

2

 this should not exceed 100m.  

n

  The  generating  set  must  not  be  connected  to  other 

power sources

n

 

Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use 

them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan 

someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
