spECIfIC sAfETy RULEs

WARNING:
When this generator is used to supply a building
wiring system: the generator must be installed by
a qualified electrician and connected to a transfer
switch as a separately derived system in accordance
with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code. The
generator shall be connected through a transfer
switch that switches all conductors other than the
equipment grounding conductor. Failure to isolate
the generator from power utility can result in death or
injury to electric utility workers.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a
n
colorless, odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause
loss of consciousness and can lead to death. If running
in a confined or partially-enclosed area, the air may
contain a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide. To
keep exhaust fumes from building up, always provide
adequate ventilation.
Always use a battery-powered carbon monoxide
n
detector when running the generator. If you begin to feel
sick, dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut it off
and get to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You may
have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Place the generator on a flat, stable surface with a slope
n
of no more than 4°.
Operate in a well-ventilated, well-lit area isolated from
n
working areas to avoid noise interference.
Operating the generator in wet conditions could result in
n
electrocution. Keep the unit dry.
Keep the generator a minimum of 1m away from all
n
types of combustible material.
Do not operate the generator near hazardous material.
n
Do not operate the generator at a gas or natural gas
n
filling station.
Do not touch the muffler or cylinder during or
n
immediately after use; they are HOT and will cause burn
injury.
Do not connect to a building's electrical system unless a
n
transfer switch has been properly installed by a qualified
electrician.
English
Do not allow the generator's gas tank to overflow
n
when filling. Fill to 25mm below the top neck of the
unleaded fuel tank to allow for fuel expansion. Check the
ventilation hole inside the fuel tank cap for debris. Do not
block the vent.
Do not smoke when filling the generator with unleaded
n
fuel.
Allow the engine to remain in a shut-down condition for
n
at least five minutes before adding unleaded fuel or oil.
Do not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank cap when
n
the engine is running.
Pay close attention to all safety labels located on the
n
generator.
Keep children a minimum of 10 feet away from the
n
generator at all times.
The unit operates best in temperatures between 5°C and
n
40°C with a relative humidity of 30~95%.
Do not operate the generator at altitudes above 1000m.
n
When using extension lines or mobile distribution
n
networks the total length of lines for a cross section of
2
1.5mm should not exceed 60m; for a cross section of
2
2.5mm this should not exceed 100m.
The generating set must not be connected to other
n
power sources
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use
n
them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan
