1. Safety Instructions

CAUTION Read the manual carefully. Do not operate the equipment until you have read the

manual and familiarized yourself with the safety, assembly, operation, and
maintenance instructions.

CAUTION This equipment should only be operated on a stable, level surface.
CAUTION Don’t overload the unit, or its service life will be shortened.
CAUTION Don’t operate or store the unit in humid places and/or on metal surfaces.

Don’t operate the unit in enclosed or partially enclosed places, such as rooms, basements,
garages, caves, tunnels, etc (Figure 1)

WARNING DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors (or enclosed or partially

enclosed places without good ventilation) CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide, a colorless, odorless, but deadly gas.

Figure 1 Figure 2

Don’t operate the unit under wet circumstances (Figure 2)

WARNING DANGER: Electric Shock. The generator produces powerful voltage, operation in

wet circumstances can result in electrocution.

Don’t connect the unit to building circuit (Figure 3)

WARNING DANGER: Fire and Equipment Damage. Improper connection may result in

generator damage or a fire.

Figure 3 Figure 4

Keep inflammables at least 1 meter away from the unit (Figure 4)

WARNING DANGER: Fire and/or Explosion. The generator set produces heat when it is

working. Operation near inflammables can cause the inflammables over-heated and
thus cause a fire.

Prohibit to smoke during fuel filling (Figure 5)

WARNING DANGER: Fire and/or Explosion. Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable

and explosive under certain conditions. Gasoline and its vapor can easily be ignited
by cigarette ends, as well as sparks, open flames, hot surfaces, etc to result in fire or
explosion.

Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7

Take care to avoid fuel spillage when filling. (Figure 6)

WARNING DANGER: Fire and/or Explosion. Gasoline spillage and its vapors are highly

flammable and explosive under certain conditions.

Be aware to fill fuel after stopping the engine. (Figure 7)

WARNING DANGER: Fire and/or Explosion. Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable

and explosive under certain conditions.

Be aware of hot surfaces.
