The silencer of the generator becomes extremely hot when the motor runs or even for a time after it has
stopped. Do not touch it as it will burn you.
Do not transport or move the generator until it has cooled down.
Perform periodic maintenance and resolve problems that appear immediately. Do not run the generator
before correcting any fault detected.
The generator uses a system of air-cooling, and it is necessary to clean its components regularly,
including the grilles, the cover of the fan and the fan itself so as to ensure cooling.
Keep the fuel filter clean, and change the oil of the motor regularly.
Periodically check the installation of the connections and the tightness of the fixations, re-tightening
them if necessary.
Clean the components of the air filter periodically, and replace the air filter when necessary.
Remove any electrical equipment that is plugged in before starting or stopping the generator.
Before transporting the generator, you must empty the fuel tank.
Maintenance and repair of the generator must be carried out by a qualified technician from an
authorized after-sales service center.
Warning: when you start the generator with the cord, watch out for sudden changes in the rotation of
the motor!!! Risk of wounding!!! Never cover the generator when it is running. The cut-out mounted
on the generator has the aime of reducing the risk of electric shock. If it needs to be replaced with
another cut-out, the latter must correspond to the technical specifications of the generator. Due to
important mechanical constraints, it is necessary to use a flexible sheathed cable with a strong rubber
protective layer (conforming to IEC 245-4) or a similar cable. If using an electrical extension cable, the
total length of the extension must not exceed 60m when the section of the wire is 1.5mm
not exceed 100m when the section of the wire is 2.5mm
Security measures when filling the fuel tank
The fuel is extremely flammable and poisonous.
This generator only uses petrol (gasoline); any other kind of fuel will damage the motor.
Do not overfill the tank with petrol to avoid spilling. If you notice a spill, it must be wiped up completely
with a dry cloth before starting the motor.
If you swallow fuel by mistake, if you inhale fuel vapours or if you get drops of fuel in your eyes, see a
doctor immediately. If a certain quantity of fuel is spilt on your skin or clothing, wash or change your
clothes.
Always stop the motor of the generator when filling it with fuel.
Never fill the fuel tank while smoking or near a naked flame.
