GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

DANGER
1.1. A "LAYMAN" and or "CHILDREN" may
not recognize the possible dangers of
operating a generator. We recommend that
only competent persons should operate the
generator.
1.2. Fuel is combustible and easily ignited. Do
not refuel during operation.
1.3. Do not refuel whilst smoking or near naked
flames. Do not overfill or spill fuel. If this
happens clean the fuel on and around the
generator properly before operating.
1.4. Only use the specified fuel when operating
the generator
1.5. Some parts of the internal-combustion
engine are hot and might cause burns. Pay
attention to the warning signs on the
generating set.
1.6. Engine exhaust gases are toxic. Do not
operate the generator in an unventilated
room. When installed in a ventilated room,
additional requirements for fire and
explosion protection must be observed.
1.7. Regularly check that the bolts and nuts are
properly tightened as they may become lose
due to vibration of the generator whilst in
use.
1.8. Before using the generator ensure that you
have checked the periodic maintenance
schedule in the operator's manual.
1.9. Pay attention to the wiring or extension
cords from the generator to the connected
device. If the wire is under the generator or
in contact with a vibrating part, it may break
and possibly cause a fire, generator burnout,
or electric shock hazard. Replace damaged
or worn cords immediately.
1.10. Do not operate in rain wet or damp
conditions, or with wet hands. The operator
may suffer severe electric shock if the
generator is wet.

CAUTION
If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting.
Do not pour water directly over the
generator, nor was hit with water.
Be extremely careful that all necessary
electrical grounding procedures are followed
during each and every use. Failure to do so
can be fatal.
Do not connect the generator to commercial
power line. Connecting to a commercial
power line may short circuit the generator.
We strongly recommend the use of a
Transfer Switch for connecting to a domestic
circuit.
Do not smoke when handling the battery.
The battery emits flammable hydrogen gas,
which can explode if exposed to cigarettes
and or naked flames. Keep the area well-
ventilated and keep naked flames/ sparks
away when handling the battery.
Keep children and all bystanders at a safe
distance from the generator whilst in use.
It is essential that you know and understand
the safe and proper use of the power tool or
appliance that you intend to connect to the
generator. All operators must read,
understand, and follow the tool/ appliance
operator's manual. The tool and appliance
applications and limitations must be
understood. Keep all instruction manuals
and in a safe place for future reference.
Always switch off the circuit breaker on the
generator when not in use.
Do note store the generator inside a house
or office. Do not store the generator where it
will be exposed to rain or water.
