󱛻󱛼󱛽WARNING
• 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. Replace damaged
or worn cords immediately.
• 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.
• The generator SHOULD NOT be connected to a fixed electrical installation except by an
appropriate licensed person. The output of this generator is potentially FATAL.
• 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.
• BE VERY CAREFUL not to touch any parts of the hot engine especially the muffler
area or serious burns may result. The engine becomes extremely hot during and
for some time after operation.
• KEEP all bystanders at a safe distance from the generator and work areas.
• Children and animals MUST always be kept away from the generator and work
areas.
• NEVER leave the generator unsupervised whilst in operation.
• NEVER allow the generator to be exposed to direct sunlight or at high temperatures.
• ALWAYS unplug all appliances connected to generator before starting.

know the safe and proper use of the power tool or appliance that you intend to use. Tool and
appliance uses 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 should be stored in a dry and well-
ventilated area when not in use.
• ALWAYS switch off the generator’s AC circuit breaker and disconnect tools or appliances when not
in use, before servicing, adjusting, or installing accessories and attachments.
• DO NOT tamper with engine speed as damage could result.
• DO NOT tamper with governor springs, governor links, or other parts which may increase the
engine speed.
• OBSERVE the following cautions when transporting. Close fuel tank cap securely and close fuel tap
tightly during transportation. Drain petrol or diesel from fuel tank before transporting over a long
distance or on rough roads.
• MAKE SURE the engine is stopped before starting any maintenance, servicing or repair.

problem before operation, could result in a significant malfunction in which you can be seriously
injured or killed.
