1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Read and understand the owner’s manual before using the generator,
opening it or working on it. This can prevent personal injury or
equipment damage. When this manual is not 100% clear to you, please
consult an authorised dealer.
•
Place the generator on a levelled surface.
When the generator is tilted, fuel spillage may result.
Place the generator, when in use, at least 1m away from buildings or
other equipments.
Keep children and pets away from the generator when it is in
operation.
•
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain
conditions.
Refuel only in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine
is refuelled or where gasoline is stored.
Wipe up spilled fuel at once.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapour.
•
If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure
its octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by
EUROPOWER. T
here are two types of ‘gasohol’: one containing ethanol,
and the other containing methanol. Do not use gasohol that contains
more than 10% ethanol.
Do not use gasoline containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that
does not also contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for
methanol. Never use gasoline containing more than 5% methanol, even
if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
•
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the
use of fuels that contain alcohol is not covered by the warranty.
EUROPOWER cannot endorse the use of fuels containing methanol since
evidence of their suitability is as yet incomplete.
Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if the
fuel contains alcohol. If it does, confirm the type and percentage of
alcohol used. If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms while
using a gasoline that contains alcohol, or one that you think
contains alcohol, switch to a gasoline of which you know that it does
not contain alcohol.
