6.3 High altitude operation. 6.3.1 At high altitude, the standard carburettor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. 6.3.2 High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburettor and readjusting the slow tempo screws. If you always operate the generator at altitudes higher than 1,500 m (5.000 feet) above sea level, have your dealer perform these carburettor modifications.

Before connecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order, and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator. Then connect the power cord of the appliance, and start the engine. Be sure all equipment is turned off before plugging in the power cord. When an electric motor is started, both the overload indicator light (red)(3) and the output (pilot) indicator light (green)(2) may go on simultaneously.

Wash your hands with soap and water after handing used oil. Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local recycling centre. DO NOT dispose of it by throwing it in your domestic waste or pour it on the ground.
The spark plug must be securely tightened. An Improperly tightened plug can become very hot and possibly damage the generator. Never use a spark plug with an Improper heat range. Never use a spark plug without damping resistance, or it will cause no AC output 7.6 Spark arrester - Exhaust service.
8.2 Before storing the unit for an extended period: 8.2.1 Make sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust. 8.2.2 Using a proprietary fuel syphon drain the fuel. 8.2.3 Petrol is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. DO NOT smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area.
