WARNING! Before use, ensure you read, understand and comply with the safety instructions in this document. Ens ure you
fully understand the application and limitations, as well as the potential hazards, of the generator.

pp

WARNING! Never connect the generating set earth lead to pipes. Pipes may carry inflammable substances such as gas or

domestic fuel and there is a risk of fire or explosion in the event of a short circuit.

pp

WARNING! Never run the engine without an air filter fitted.

pp

WARNING! If the generator is being used after storage of more than 30 days, remove the desicant bags from the alternator

and the plastic tape from the air inlet and outlet ports - see paragraph 5.7.

3.1. EARTHING

3.1.1. The generating set must be earthed every time it is used, to reduce the chance of electric shock. To do this, use a 12mm² copper
wire and bolt it to the generator chassis. At the other end, bolt it to an earthing rod of copper or brass which has been driven into the
ground. This earthing connection will also dissipate static electricity generated by the electrical equipment.

PRE START-UP OF THE GENERATOR
