  • Page 16 EXTENSION CORDS Extension cords may be used to power devices that are located at a distance from the generator. However, use only Australian approved outdoor-rated, grounded extension cords. Locate the generator in a convenient place and where possible, avoid long extension leads and possible damage to leads by pedestrian or vehicular tra c.
  • Page 17 basements, sheds or boxes. These spaces can trap poisonous gases, even if you run a fan or open windows. 3. Ensure that working, ba ry-operated or ba ery back-up carbon monoxide alarms are used in any dwelling/structure that is in close proximity to the running operator. Note: This generator is NOT designed or approved for use in vehicles or marine applica ons.
  • Page 18 Keep a e ex nguisher rated “ABC” nearby. Keep it properly charged and be familiar with its use. NO WET CONDITIONS Choose a loca on where the generator will NOT be exposed to rain, snow or direct sunlight. Exposure to water can cause an electric shock. You may operate the generator under an outdoor canopy-like structure of heat-resistant material that is open on all sides.

  • Page 30: Generator Prepara On

    GENERATOR PREPARATION The following sec on describes the necessary steps to prepare the generator for use. Failure to perform these steps properly can damage the generator or shorten its life. STEP 1 - ADD/CHECK OIL The generator is shipped without oil. User must add the proper amount of oil before opera ng the generator for the rst me.
  • Page 31 For subsequent opera on, the oil level should be checked before each use, or a r every 8 hours of opera on. The generator is equipped with a low-oil sensor and will NOT start without a su cient amount of oil. To check oil level (before every subsequent start): 1.Place the generator on a level surface.
  • Page 32 NOTICE: Never use an oil/petrol mixture. Never use old petrol. Keep petrol away from sparks, open ames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of igni on. Avoid ge ng dirt or water into the fuel tank. Petrol can age in the tank and make star ng di cult. Never store generator for more than 2 months with fuel in the tank.
  • Page 33 GROUND THE GENERATOR To reduce the risk of electric shock and to maximize safety, the generator should be properly grounded. Ground the generator by ghtening the grounding nut on the front control panel (Fig. 11) against a grounding wire. A generally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire.
  • Page 34 STARTING THE GENERATOR Before star ng the generator, make sure you have read and performed the steps in the “Generator Prepara on” sec on of this manual. If you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps in this manual, please contact your authorized service centre. DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
  • Page 35 WARNING: The generator should ONLY be connected to electrical devices, either directly or with an extension cord. NEVER CONNECT TO A BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM without a quali ed electrician and connected to a transfer switch as a separately derived system. Such connec ons must comply with local electrical laws and codes. Failure to comply can create a back-feed, which may result in serious injury or death to u ty workers.

  • Page 36: Star Ng The Generator
