EXHAUST GAS PRECAUTIONS
• Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation when
using the generator.
• Always position the generator so that the exhaust is pointing away from people or animals.
• Never use the generator indoors or in an enclosed area. (i.e
workshop, garage, lockup etc)
EARTHING THE GENERATOR
• In most situations the frame of a portable generator need
not be grounded (connected to earth) and the frame may
serve as the earth.
• An earth connector lug is fitted to the generator, for use
if required to connect to an earth. This connection should
only be undertaken after full consultation with a competent,
qualified electrician.
• Earth spike not provided as not required for general use.
Exhaust fumes can be fatal!
