1. SAFEtY
WARNING! Ensure any Health & Safety, Government, or local authority regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.
Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations, as well as the potential hazards of the generator.
Maintain the generator in good condition (use an authorised service agent). Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only.
Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
This generator is designed and manufactured for specific applications. Do Not attempt to modify the unit or use it for any application for
which it is not designed. If you have any questions regarding the application of the unit please contact your local Sealey stockist.
Operate the generator only on level surfaces (maximum allowable tilt is 10º) and where it will not be exposed to excessive moisture, dirt,
corrosive vapours or be in the proximity of combustible material (flammable liquids, solids or gases).
Remove ill fitting clothing, ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair. Wear appropriate protective clothing.
Keep non-essential persons away from the working area.
Do Not use the generator for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.
Do Not operate the generator if any parts are missing or damaged, as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
Do Not over-fill fuel tank. Always leave space for fuel to expand.
Do Not operate in wet conditions.
Do Not operate the generator when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
Do Not store the generator with fuel in the tank where petrol vapours might reach an open flame or spark.
WARNING! Do Not exceed the Wattage/Amperage capacity of the generator. Add the rated wattage of all devices intended for single
connection. The total must not exceed rated wattage of generator (see specification). In most cases the rated wattage of an electrical
device can be found on the nameplate. If the nameplate only gives voltage and amperage, multiply the two to give rated wattage
(Volts x Amps = Watts) Do Not run at a power output between continuous and maximum for more than 15 minutes.
WARNING! Generator exhaust gases contain deadly carbon monoxide which must not be inhaled. Always allow sufficient ventilation.
WARNING! If you decide to use an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (also referred to as an RCD or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter),
it is imperative that the neutral end of the power winding is connected to the frame of the generator set and that the earth connector on
the frame is connected with a low impedance connector to the local earth via an earth spike or local protective earth conductor.
This connection should only be attempted by a qualified electrician, after first having consulted your local Sealey stockist.
WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable and petrol vapour is explosive. Do Not permit smoking, naked flames, sparks or heat in the
vicinity when handling petrol. Avoid spilling petrol onto a hot engine. Comply with all laws regulating storage and handling of fuels.
WARNING! Do Not refuel when the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Allow time for the engine to cool down.
WARNING! Do Not start or stop the generator while electrical loads are connected and switched on. Start the engine, let it
stabilise, then connect the electrical load. to stop engine, disconnect the electrical load and let engine stabilise before switching
off.
WARNING! Do Not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged electrical cables with the generator. to do so may result in
electric shock.
DANGER! This generator is designed for outdoor use only. To use the generator inside any building or enclosure, including the
generator compartment of a caravan, may result in fire or explosion. No user-performed modifications, including venting of the exhaust
and/or cooling ventilation, will eliminate the danger.
DANGER! If this unit is used for back-up power in the event of a commercial power failure, the following steps must be taken:
the connections from standby power to a building electrical system must be carried out by a qualified electrician complying
with all laws and regulations. Before connecting the generator to the electrical system, open the main circuit breaker to isolate
the generator and system from the commercial electrical supply. Failure to do this may result in damage to the generator and
may result in serious injury or fatality, due to a back-feed of electrical energy.
DANGER! The generator produces a very powerful voltage that can cause a severe electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires,
terminals etc. Do Not allow any unqualified person to operate or service the generator.
DANGER! Do Not tamper with the engine governed speed setting. Higher operating speeds are dangerous and increase the risk
of personal injury and/or equipment damage. the generator supplies the correct rated frequencies and voltages only when
running at the correct governed speed. Incorrect frequency and/or voltage can damage some connected electrical loads.
operating at excessively low speeds may result in shortened engine life. over-speeding will invalidate the warranty.
2. INtRoDuctIoN
Digital inverter technology provides stable 'clean' output making the unit suitable for use with sensitive electrical equipment. Smart throttle
sensor automatically adjusts the engine speed to precisely match the load, which allows the generator to run quieter whilst increasing fuel
efficiency and lengthening engine life. Electronic ignition and a light pull recoil for easy start up. Supplied with electric circuit breaker.
Fitted with 1 x 230V socket.
