• NEVER allow the generator to run out of fuel when a load is connected. • NEVER alter or tamper with the internal wiring of the generator. • NEVER climb or stand on the generator as dents may cause overheating of the acoustic lining.
ELECTRICITY RELATED SAFETY PRECAUTIONS RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK • Risk of electrocution. WARNING • ALWAYS test the GFCI’s before use. • ALWAYS store the generator undercover when not in use and away from damp or wet conditions. • NEVER use the generator outdoor when it is raining or snowing or in wet or damp conditions.
EARTHING OF GENERATOR Earthing of generators helps protect the user from electric shock or electrocution which may be caused due to malfunction or breakdown. This threat to the user is prevented by creating a path of least resistance for the electrical current to travel to the ground which inherently absorbs the over-current or short circuit.

• All electrical tools and appliances powered by the generator, must be properly earthed by either a third wire or “double insulated”. Recommendations: 1. Use electrical devices with 3-prong power cords 2. Use extension cords with a 3-hole receptacle and a 3-prong plug on opposite ends to maintain earth protection from the generator to the appliance.

MAINTENANCE GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS: Regular maintenance will improve the performance and extend the life of the GENERATOR. The generator’s warranty does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain the generator as instructed in this manual and in the engine manual, including proper storage.
STORAGE Long term storage instructions (fuel in tank) Gasoline fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or crucial carburettor parts. To keep fuel fresh, add a fuel stabiliser liquid additive to fuel. The fuel stabiliser is available at most auto parts stores.
