there may be a risk of explosion of petrol fumes, leaking
gas or explosive dusts.
6. Electrocution can occur if generator is used in rain,
snow, or near water; keep this unit dry at all times.
7. The output of this generating set is potentially lethal.
The set shall not be connected to a fixed electrical
installation by fixed wiring except by an appropriately
licensed person. See instruction manual.
8. Product does not include ground rod or copper wire.
Consult an electrician for advice before grounding your
generator.

EXTENSION CORD CABLE SIZE
Refer to the table below to ensure the cable size of the extension cords you use are capable of carrying the required load.
Inadequate size cables can cause a voltage drop, which can damage the appliance and overheat the cord.

ELECTRICAL MOTOR LOADS
It is characteristic of common electric motors in normal operation to draw up to six times their full load running current while
starting. This table may be used to estimate the watts required to start electric motors; however, if an electric motor fails
to start or reach running speed, turn off the appliance or tool immediately to avoid equipment damage. Always check the
requirements of the tool or appliance being used compared to the rated output of the generator.

Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all electronic equipment should be checked prior to plugging them
into this generator. Damage may result if the equipment is not designed to operate within a ±10% voltage variation,
and ±3 Hz frequency variation from the generator name plate ratings. To avoid damage, always have an additional
load plugged into the generator if solid state equipment (such as a television set) is used. A power line conditioner is
recommended for some solid state applications.
