Product Manual
IMPORTANT:
This generator is fied with a MEN link cable, the neutral is internally bonded to the generator
earth. When a licensed electrician is installing the generator to a building to be used as a
backup power source, the MEN must be removed. The MEN link is located underneath the
alternator end cap which is labelled to indicate its locaon. The MEN link cable is clearly
labelled as “MEN link.”
EXTENSION CORDS
Extension cords may be used to power devices that are located at a distance from the
generator. However, use only Australian approved outdoor-rated, grounded extension cords.
Locate the generator in a convenient place and where possible, avoid long extension leads and
possible damage to leads by pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
Extension leads should be heavy duty with at least 1mm of appropriate current rang and in
any case, not less that 1mm cross-secon of conductor and must incorporate an earthing
conductor to ensure that there
is no voltage differenc
e between the generator set and any
equipment powered by the generator.
The electrical connuity of the “earthing” core should be checked periodically from pin to
socket to ensure connued electrical safety. Some electrical appliances, eg. portable drills, are
marked “double insulated”, in which case there should not be an earthing conductor in its
mains lead (even though it may have a three-pin plug).
SELECT A SUITABLE SITE
Before using the generator, you must select a suitable OUTDOOR locaon for installaon and
operaon that meets the following criteria:
DRY, LEVEL SURFACE:
The generator should be posioned on a dry, firm and level surface. Ensure that the generator
sits level and will not slide or shi during operaon. If applicable, block the generator’s wheels
to prevent sliding and shiing.
OUTDOORS ONLY:
Follow the direcons below for choosing a locaon to operate your generator in order to avoid
