DANGER

GROUNDING THE GENERATOR (See Figure 1)

Toavoidtheriskofshockorelectrocution,thegenerator mustbeproperlygrounded.Thenutandgroundterminal on the frame must always be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground source. The ground path should be made with 0.75m2 size wire. Connect the terminal of the ground wire between the lock washer and the nut, and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the wire securely to a suitable ground source.

important safety instructions

WARNING:

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electrocution, fire, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, which will cause death or serious injury.

WARNING:

National Electric Code requires the generator to be grounded to an approved earth ground. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the ­generator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the generator and batteries.

νDo not allow children or untrained individuals to use this unit.

νNever start or run the engine inside a closed or partially enclosed area. Breathing exhaust fumes will kill you.

νWear eye protection as well as hearing protection when operating this equipment.

νKeep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 3m away.

νWear sturdy and dry shoes or boots. Do not operate while barefoot.

νDo not operate the generator when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

νKeep all parts of your body away from any moving parts and all hot surfaces of the unit.

νProduct users in some states, must comply with fire prevention regulations. This product is not equipped with a spark arrestor. Check with the federal, areas, or local authorities in your area before use.

νDo not touch bare wire or receptacles.

νDo not use the generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.

νBefore storing, allow the engine to cool.

νAllow engine to cool for five minutes before refueling.

νTo reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.

νDo not smoke while handling fuel.

νStore fuel in a container approved for unleaded fuel.

νPosition the unit on level ground, stop engine, and allow to cool before refueling.

νLoosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap.

νTighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.

νWipe spilled fuel from the unit.

νNever attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circumstances.

νUseonlyauthorisedreplacementpartsandaccessoriesand followinstructionsintheMaintenancesectionofthismanual. Use of unauthorised parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

νMaintain the unit per maintenance instructions in this Operator’s Manual.

νInspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners, fuel leaks, etc. Replace damaged parts.

νThe generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the generator, inspect the generator as well as extension cords and power supply cords connected to it for damage resulting from vibration.

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.

νExhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a 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.

νAlways use a battery-powered carbon monoxide 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.

νPlace the generator on a flat, stable surface with a slope of no more than 4°.

νOperate in a well-ventilated, well-lit area isolated from working areas to avoid noise interference.

νOperating the generator in wet conditions could result in electrocution. Keep the unit dry.

νKeep the generator a minimum of 1m away from all types of combustible material.

νDo not operate the generator near hazardous material.

νDo not operate the generator at a gas or natural gas filling station.

νDo not touch the muffler or cylinder during or immediately after use; they are HOT and will cause burn injury.

νDo not connect to a building’s electrical system unless a transfer switch has been properly installed by a qualified electrician.

νDo not allow the generator’s gas tank to overflow 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.

νDo not smoke when filling the generator with unleaded fuel.

νAllow the engine to remain in a shut-down condition for at least five minutes before adding unleaded fuel or oil.

νDo not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank cap when the engine is running.

νPay close attention to all safety labels located on the generator.

νKeep children a minimum of 10 feet away from the generator at all times.

νThe unit operates best in temperatures between 5°C and 40°C with a relative humidity of 30~95%.

νDo not operate the generator at altitudes above 1000m.

νWhen using extension lines or mobile distribution networks the total length of lines for a cross section of 1.5mm2 should not exceed 60m; for a cross section of 2.5mm2 this should not exceed 100m.

νThe generating set must not be connected to other power sources

νSave these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
