• WARNING! Generator exhaust gases contain deadly carbon monoxide which must not be inhaled. Always allow sufficient ventilation.

• WARNING! If you decide to use an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (also referred to as an RCD or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter), it
  is imperative that the neutral end of the power winding is connected to the frame of the generator set and that the earth lug on the frame is connected with a low impedance connector to the local earth via an earth spike or local protective earth conductor. This connection should only be attempted by a qualified electrician after first having consulted your local stockist.

• DANGER! This generator is designed for outdoor use only. Using the generator inside any building or enclosure, including the generator compartment of a caravan, may result in fire or an explosion. No user-performed modifications, including venting of the exhaust and/or cooling ventilation, will eliminate the danger.

• DANGER! If this unit is used for backup power in the event of a commercial power failure, the following steps must be taken. Before connecting the generator to the electrical system, open the main circuit breaker to isolate the generator and system from the commercial electric supply. Failure to do this may result in damage to the generator and may result in serious injury or fatality, due to a back-feed of electrical energy.

• DANGER! The generator produces a very powerful voltage that can cause a severe electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, etc. Never allow any unqualified person to operate or service the generator.

• WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable and petrol vapor is explosive. DO NOT permit smoking, naked flames, sparks, or heat in the vicinity while handling petrol. Avoid spilling petrol onto a hot engine. Comply with all laws regulating the storage and handling of fuels.

• WARNING! NEVER refuel when the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Allow cool down time.

• Operate the generator only on level surfaces (maximum allowable tilt is 10º) and where it will not be exposed to excessive moisture, dirt, or corrosive vapors or be in the proximity of combustible material (flammable liquids, solids, or gases).
