1. To prevent fire
Never add fuel to the fuel tank whilst the engine is running. Wipe away any spilt fuel
or oil with a clean cloth before operating. Keep explosives and any other flammable
products away from the machine at all times.
-To prevent fire and to provide adequate ventilation, keep the generator at least
one metre away from buildings and other equipment during operation.
- Operate the generator on level ground.
- Do not place the generator indoors whilst the engine is still hot.
2. To prevent inhaling exhaust fumes
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide which is harmful to health and can
kill. For this reason, never use the generator in a closed area or areas with poor
ventilation.
3. To prevent burns
The muffler and the engine body becomes very hot whilst the engine is running or
just after running. To prevent any burns, do not touch these parts during these
times.
4. Electric Shocks, Short Circuits
To avoid electric shocks or short circuits, do not touch the generator if your hands
are wet. This generator is not waterproof and should not be used in an area which is
exposed to rain, snow or water sprays. The use of this generator in a wet place can
cause short circuits and electric shocks during operation.
- The generator should be grounded to prevent electric shocks from faulty
appliances. Connect a length of heavy cable between the generator's ground
terminal and the and an external ground source.
- Do not connect tools or other appliances to the generator before it has been
started. If equipment is connected starting the generator may cause sudden
movements of the equipment, resulting in accidents or injuries. It may also damage
the alternator.
