Additional Safety Instructions.
Do not enclose or cover the generator. It may become overheated if it is
enclosed. If the generator is covered, make sure to remove it and keep it well
away from the area during generator use.
Operate the generator on a level surface. It is not necessary to prepare a
special foundation for the generator. However, the generator will vibrate on an
irregular surface.
f the generator is tilted/moved during operation, fuel may spill and/or the
generator may tip over, causing a hazardous situation.
If used on a steep incline or slope then proper engine lubrication will not
happen. In such a case, piston seizure may occur even if the oil is above the upper
level.
Pay attention to the wiring or extension leads from the generator to the
connected device. If the wire is under the generator or in contact with vibrating
parts it may break and possibly cause a fire, generator burnout, or electric shock
hazard. Replace damaged or worn leads immediately.
DO NOT operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands. The
operator may suffer severe electric shock if the generator is wet due to rain or
snow. If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. DO NOT pour water directly
over the generator, nor wash it with water.
For each use, make sure that the generator has been electrically
grounded/earthed. Failure to do so can be fatal.
DO NOT smoke while charging a battery. The battery emits flammable
hydrogen gas, which can explode if exposed to electric arcing or open flame. Keep
the area well ventilated and keep open flames/sparks away when charging a
battery.
The engine becomes extremely hot during use and for some time after
operation. Keep combustible materials well away from generator area. Be very
careful not to touch any parts of the hot engine especially the muffler/exhaust
area or serious burns may result.
Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work area
It is essential that you know the safe and proper use of the power tool or
appliance that you intend to use. All operators must read, understand and follow
the tool/appliance owners' manual. Users must make themselves aware of the
tool and appliance applications and limitations. Follow all directions given on
labels and warnings.
Use only "LISTED" extension leads. When tools or appliances are
used/operated outside, use only extension leads marked for "Outdoor Use".
Extension leads, when not in use, should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated
area.
Always switch off generator's AC circuit breaker and disconnect tools or
appliances when not in use, before servicing, adjusting, or installing accessories
and attachments.
Stop the engine before starting any maintenance, servicing or repair.
Only allow properly trained personnel to maintain/repair the generator.
If acid gets into your eyes, you should remove it immediately. Make
sure that you do not wash the acid to another part of the face or body.
Gasses from charging batteries are highly flammable. You must
charge in well-ventilated areas.
