SAFETY WARNINGS

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE

USING PETROL GENERATOR.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their physi-

cian(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment or the elec-

tromagnetic wave created by the engine spark plug in close proximity to a heart

pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, extremely toxic gas that

can KILL in a matter of minutes. Breathing air containing carbon monoxide

produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of muscular control, a sleepy

feeling and finally coma. Moderate or severe brain damage can result from inhaling

air containing carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete

combustion of petrol and occurs in exhaust fumes of petrol-burning heaters and all

internal combustion engines. Carbon Monoxide collects in spaces where there is no

constant air flow or ventilation. If you start to feel sick, dizzy or weak due to

exposure to CO while using petrol engine, GET TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY.

ADDING OR DRAINING PETROL TO OR FROM THE ENGINE

Petrol and petrol vapors are extremely flammable and

explosive. Fire and explosion can result in severe burns

and even death.

•Turn engine to the OFF position and let cool at least two minutes before

removing petrol cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in petrol tank.

• DO NOT fill or drain petrol tank inside enclosed structures. Accidental sparks

can result in fires or explosions leading to severe burns and even death.

Keep protective guards in place and in proper working condition.

Maintain tools and equipment with care. They will function better and more

safely when kept clean and in good working condition. Keeping the tool clean,

dry, and free of grime will add to its life and performance.

Do not use the tool for applications other than specified.

SAFETY RULES FOR PETROL ENGINES

Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete combustion, such as exhaust

fumes from the engine. Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless and tasteless

and can kill in a matter of minutes

Gas particulate filters and respirators will not protect someone

from carbon monoxide poisoning. If symptoms of carbon monoxide

poisoning appear, take the affected person outdoors immediately

and away from all structures and equipment that could produce the

gas. Call for emergency medical treatment and make them aware of the

situation.

Operate generator only outdoors. Do not allow exhaust gas fumes from

entering confined areas through windows, open doors, ventilation ducts and

other openings.

Do not start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area,such as agarage

(even if windows and doors are open). This also applies to the engine

compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV).

DO NOT tamper with Evaporation and Exhaust Assembly in the generator.

DANGER

Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas you

cannot see or smell.

NEVER use in the home or

in partly enclosed areas

such as garages.

Avoid other generator hazards.

READ MANUAL BEFORE USE.

ONLY use outdoors and far

from open windows, doors,

and vents.

Do not contact muffler area with engine running. Muffler gets

extremely hot and can cause severe burns. Exhaust gases can

ignite combustible items such as clothing or structures in close

proximity. Gases leaking from worn muffler can heat up and

damage petrol tank resulting in fire or explosion.

• DO NOT touch hot parts of engine or muffler.

• AVOID hot exhaust gases.

• Keep a minimum of 1.5M clearance on all sides of the engine including top.

Starter and other rotating parts of engine can entangle hair, hands,

clothing and accessories.

• NEVER operate with protective housing or covers removed.

• DO NOT use while wearing loose clothing or jewellery that may get caught up

in starter or other rotating parts. Tie up long hair or wear hair net or cap.

MAKING ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE

Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury and damage to

engine. Excessively low speeds produce heavy load on engine.

• DO NOT attempt to alter pre-set governed speed. Engine governor is factory

set to supply optimum output horse power (HP) when running at governed speed.

• DO NOT modify engine in any way.

TESTING SPARK PLUG FOR SPARK

•DO NOT check spark plug for spark by removing from cylinder head.

•Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and cover tip with

non-conducting material such as electrical tape to prevent it from coming in

contact with spark plug, petrol tank or other parts of the engine where

damage can result from sparking.

• Replace a defective spark plug only with authorized parts.

•Use approved spark plug tester.

• DO NOT overfill petrol tank. Leave ample space for expansion of petrol.

• DO NOT start engine in area of petrol spillage. Fire and explosion can occur.

• Keep petrol away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other

ignition sources. DO NOT smoke while operating the engine.

• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at an angle that could result in petrol

spilling from petrol tank.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can

pull your hand and arm toward the engine faster than it can be let

go of. Failure to be aware of this function can result in broken

bones, fractures, bruises and sprains.

•When starting the engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull

rapidly to avoid kickback.

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

Failure to observe this warning can result in property

damage, severe burns and/or death.

•Ensure spark plug is in place before attempting to start engine.

•Ensure muffler is secured to engine before starting.

•Ensure petrol cap is on petrol tank and tightened securely.

•Ensure air cleaner is clean and properly attached to engine.

A dirty air cleaner element changes the air to pe dnaoitarlort

promotes incomplete combustion of petrol increasing the output of

carbon monoxide. Always make sure air cleaner element is clean

before every operation of the engine.

• DO NOT crank engine with spark plug wire removed. The resulting spark

could ignite spilled petrol.
