This generator is designed and manufactured for specific applications. Do not attempt to modify the unit or use it for any application for
which it is not designed. If you have any questions regarding the application of the unit please contact your local Sealey dealer.

WARNING!
Generator exhaust gases contain deadly carbon monoxide which must not be inhaled. Always allow sufficient ventilation.
WARNING!
If you decide to use an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (also referred to as an RCD or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter),
it is imperative that the neutral end of the power winding is connected to the frame of the generator set and that the earth lug on the
frame is connected with a low impedance connector to the local earth via an earth spike or local protective earth conductor. This
connection should only be attempted by a qualified electrician, after first having consulted your local dealer.

DANGER!
This generator is designed for outdoor use only. To use the generator inside any building or enclosure, including the
generator compartment of a caravan, may result in fire or an explosion. No user performed modifications, including venting of the
exhaust and/or cooling ventilation, will eliminate the danger.

DANGER!
If this unit is used for back-up power in the event of a commercial power failure, the following steps must be taken.
Before connecting the generator to the electrical system, open the main circuit breaker to isolate the generator and system from the
commercial electric supply. Failure to do this may result in damage to the generator and may result in serious injury or fatality, due to a
back-feed of electrical energy.
▲
DANGER!
The generator produces a very powerful voltage that can cause a severe electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires,
terminals etc. Never allow any unqualified person to operate or service the generator.
WARNING!
Petrol is highly flammable and petrol vapour is explosive. Do not permit smoking, naked flames, sparks or heat in the vicinity
