Do not keep petrol in the tank for a long time.

While using or transporting the generator, make sure you keep the generator upright, otherwise the

fuel may escape from the carburettor or the fuel tank.

Electrical safety

Before each use ensure that the load to be connected does not exceed the power of the current
produced by the generator.

To avoid electric shock, you must follow the following instructions:

Do not touch the generator with wet hands.

Do not run the generator under rain or snow.

Do not run the generator near water.

Connect the generator to earth. Use a sufficiently thick conductor for the earth wire.

Do not operate the generator in parallel with another generator.

If using electrical extensions, make sure that they are sufficiently thick to transport the current and that they
are used correctly.

The connection of a generator used for auxiliary power to the electrical installation of a

building must be performed by a qualified electrician, and in conformity to the provisions of the
applicable laws and norms in the field of electricity. Incorrect connections will cause leakage of the
current from the generator into the lines of the public electricity company. Such leakage could
electrocute the workers of the public electricity company working on the network or other persons
in contact with the line during a power cut. Also, when the public power supply is re-established,
the generator can explode, catch fire or generate fires in the building’s electrical installation.

Before connecting electrical devices to the generator, make sure that their voltage

specifications and frequency of functioning correspond to the technical characteristics of the
generator. There may be damage if the device connected is not designed to function with a voltage
tolerance of +/- 10% or a frequency tolerance of +/- 3 % compared with those of the generator.
