RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
1. Gasoline engines give off deadly carbon mon-
oxide.
Never run a gasoline engine in the basement
or other areas in a building.
2. This alternator has an air cooled engine which
must have good circulation of air.
3. Gasoline engines should not be stored or operated
in holds of boats or ships.
4. Check the local code as to the laws governing
storing gasoline in confined areas.
5. Never fill a gasoline engine in the dark or when
the engine is hot.
6. Check the oil every time you fill the gas tank or
every 5 hours.
7. Under no condition should the gasoline engine
be hooked up to any pressure fuel pump (auto,
tractor or auxiliary line).
6. Always check wattage requirements on labeled
motors and appliances before attempting to oper-
ate.
9. If an extension cord is necessary, always use as
short a length as possilbe. The longer the cord the
greater the voltage drop resulting in less power
applied to the tube.
lO.The
load should be applied to the alternator
&er
it has reached its operating sp&.
Never start
alternator with load.
11. Engine speed is preset at the factory. If this
speed is incorrectly readjusted by the customer,
serious damage may be incurred in the tools or ap-
pliances connected to the alternator.
