and follow instructions in the Maintenance section of 
this manual. Use of unauthorised parts or failure to 
follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of 
shock or injury.

 

Ŷ

Inspect the product before each use for loose fasteners 
and fuel leaks. Replace damaged parts.

 

Ŷ

Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the 
use of the generator, inspect the generator as well as 
extension cords and power supply cords connected to it 
for damage resulting from vibration. Have the damaged 
items repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not use 
plugs or cords that show signs of damage such as 
broken or cracked insulation.

SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

 

 WARNING

When the 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. The generator shall be 
connected through a transfer switch that switches 
all conductors other than the equipment grounding 
conductor. The frame of the generator shall be 
connected to an approved grounding electrode. Failure 
to isolate the generator from power utility can result in 
death or injury to electric utility workers.

 

Ŷ

Do not use the generator to provide power for 
emergency medical equipment or life support devices.

 

Ŷ

Exhaust fumes contains poisonous carbon monoxide, 
a colourless, odourless gas. Breathing exhaust fumes 
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.

 

Ŷ

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 physician. 
You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

 

Ŷ

Place the generator on a flat, stable surface with a 
slope of no more than 4°.

 

Ŷ

Operate outdoors in a well-ventilated, well-lit area 
isolated from working areas to avoid noise interference.

 

Ŷ

Operating the generator in wet conditions could result in 
electrocution. Keep the product dry.

 

Ŷ

Keep the generator a minimum of 1 m away from all 
types of combustible material.

 

Ŷ

Do not touch the muffler or cylinder during or 
immediately after use; they are hot and will cause burn 
injury.

 

Ŷ

Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless 
a transfer switch has been properly installed by a 
qualified electrician.

 

Ŷ

Do not allow the generator’s gas tank to overflow when 
filling. Fill to 25 mm (1”) below the top neck of the gas 
tank to allow for fuel expansion. Do not cover the fuel 

tank cap when the engine is running. Covering the fuel 
tank cap during use may cause engine failure and/or 
damage to the product.

 

Ŷ

Allow the engine to remain in a shutdown condition for 
at least five minutes before adding unleaded fuel or oil.

 

Ŷ

Do not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank cap when 
the engine is running.

 

Ŷ

Pay close attention to all safety labels located on the 
generator.

 

Ŷ

The product operates best in temperatures between 
-5°C and 40°C with a relative humidity of 90% or less.

 

Ŷ

Operating voltage and frequency requirement of 
all electronic equipment should be checked prior to 
plugging them into this generator. 

 

Ŷ

Operation of the generator at altitudes above 1,000 
m may require retuning. Consult a qualified service 
technician.

 

Ŷ

When using extension lines or mobile distribution 
networks the total length of lines for a cross section of 
1.5 mm

2

 should not exceed 60 m; for a cross section of 

2.5 mm

2

 this should not exceed 100 m.

 

Ŷ

Use only IEC 60245-4 compliant rubber insulated 
cords.

 

Ŷ

The generating set must not be connected to other 
power sources except with accessory advised by the 
manufacturer or other generators with the same model.

 

Ŷ

Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and 
use them to instruct others who may use the product. 
If you loan someone the product, loan them these 
instructions also.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

 

Ŷ

Place the engine/choke lever in the off position.

 

Ŷ

Make sure the engine and the exhaust of product has 
cooled down.

 

Ŷ

Keep the product level to prevent fuel spillage.

 

Ŷ

Do not drop or strike the product or place under heavy 
objects.

 

Ŷ

Store the product in a well-ventilated area with the fuel 
tank empty. Fuel should not be stored near the product.

 

Ŷ

Empty the fuel tank, turn the engine/choke lever to the 
off position and restrain the product from moving before 
transporting in a vehicle.

MAINTENANCE

 

 WARNING

When servicing, use only original replacement parts. 
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause 
product damage.
