1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please make sure you review each precaution carefully.
Pay special attention to statement preceded by the following words.

“WARNING” indicates a strong possibility of severe personal injury or loss

of life if instructions are not followed.

“CAUTION” indicates a possibility of personal injury or equipment damage
if instructions are not followed.

Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the potential danger of
explosion or fire.
Do not fill the fuel tank with fuel while the engine is running. Do not smoke or use an open
flame near the fuel tank. Be careful not to spill fuel during refuelling. If fuel is spilt, wipe
it off and let dry before starting the engine.

Do not place flammables near the generator.
Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or any other
flammables near the generator.

Do not operate the generator inside a room, cave, tunnel, or other insufficiently
ventilated area. Always operate it in a well-ventilated area, otherwise the engine
may become overheated, and the poisonous carbon monoxide gas, an odourless,
colorless, poisonous gas, contained in the exhaust gases will endanger human lives.
Operate generator only outdoors and far from open windows, doors, ventilation
intakes and other openings. Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away,
including overhead, from any structure or building use.

Do not enclose the generator nor cover it with a box.
The generator has a built-in forced air cooling system, and may become overheated if it is enclosed.
If generator has been coved to protect it from the weather during non use, be sure to remove it and
keep it well away from the area during generator use.

Operate the generator on a level surface.
It is not necessary to prepare a special foundation for the generator. However, the generator will
vibrate on an irregular surface, so choose a level place without surface irregularities.
If the generator is tilted or moved during operation, fuel may spill and /or the generator may tip
over, causing a hazardous situation.
Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the generator is operated on a steep incline or slope. In
such a case, piston seizure may occur even if the oil is above the upper level.

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.

CROMMELINS™GENERATOR Operation & Instruction Manual

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 due to rain or snow.

If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator, nor wash
it with water.

Ensure all necessary electrical grounding procedures are followed during each and every use. Failure
to do so can be fatal.

Do not contact the generator to a commercial power line as connection may short circuit the
generator and ruin it or cause electric shock hazard. Use the transfer switch for connecting to
domestic circuit.

No smoking while handling the battery. The battery emits flammable hydrogen gas,
which can explode if exposed to electric arcing or open flame.
Keep the area well-ventilated and keep open flames/sparks away when handling the battery.

Engine becomes extremely hot during and for some time after operation.
Keep combustible material well away from generator area.
Be very careful not to touch any parts of the hot engine especially the muffler area or
serious burns may result.

Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work areas.

It is absolutely essential that you know the safe and proper use of the power tool or appliance that
you intend to use. All operators must read, understand and follow the tool/appliance owner’s
manual. Tool and appliance applications and limitations must be understood. Follow all directions
given on labels and warnings. Keep all instruction manuals and literature in a safe place for future
reference.

Use only 10AMP or 15AMP????? extension cords.

When a tool or appliance is used outdoors, use only extension cords marked “For Outdoor Use”.

Extension cords, when not in use should be stored in a dry and well ventilated area.

Always switch off generator’s AC circuit breaker and disconnect tools or appliances when not in use,

before servicing, adjusting, or installing accessories and attachments.

Make sure the engine is stopped before starting any maintenance, servicing or repair.
Make sure maintenance and repair of the generator are performed by properly trained personnel
only.
