Before starting the engine make sure that the total power of tools or power consumers corresponds to the
rated power of the generator. Do not exceed the rated power of the generator. Do not connect any devices
before the engine start! In the power supply mode, the generator should operate no longer
than 30 minutes in the range from rated to maximum power.
Before connecting any devices to the generator, make sure that they are in good condition. If the device that was
connected suddenly stopped or failed, immediately disconnect the power using a safety switch, disconnect the
device and check it out.

Works, specified in "Technical maintenance" section, are to be regularily performed. If the the generator user has
no possibility to perform regular maintenance independently, it is necessary to address the official service center to
registrate an order for such works performance.
You can find a list of service center addresses in your warranty card.
If the generator has not been used for a long time, recharge the
battery with a charger (not included).
Standby generators should not run continuously (e.g. by adding
fuel to the tank or connecting a large fuel tank) or longer than
recommended: 4-6 hours for gasoline generators (depending on
load).
Do not connect two or more devices simultaneously. The start-up
of many devices requires high power. Devices should be connected
in turn according to their power rating. Do not connect any power
consumers within the first 3 minutes after the generator start.
