Do not overfill the tank. Do not operate the generator while it is on a vehicle. Take the generator off the vehicle and use it in a well-ventilated place.
Avoid a place exposed to direct sunlight when putting the generator on a vehicle.
If the generator is left in an enclosed vehicle for many hours, high temperature inside the vehicle could cause fuel to vaporize, resulting in a possible explosion.
Do not drive on a rough road for an extended period with the generator on board. If you must transport the generator on a rough road, drain the fuel from the generator beforehand.
Note : Take care not to drop or strike the generator during transport. Do not place heavy objects on the generator. When using tie-downs to secure the generator for transportation, use only the two upper frame protection bars to attach to. Do not attach tie-downs to the main body of the generator or to any part of the folding handle.

STORAGE

In order to keep your generator trouble-free and in good condition, proper storage preparation is essential. The following steps will help to make it easier to start the engine when you use the generator again.
Fuel
NOTICE : Fuel will deteriorate and oxidise over time. It is important to remove fuel for longer term storage. Engine failure due to stale fuel is not covered by warranty.
DRAINING THE FUEL

1. Remove fuel tank cap and fuel filter screen and extract fuel into an appropriate container. Note: Fuel is extremely volatile and dangerous. Handle with caution.
2. Turn the Engine Switch to the “ON” position.
3. Start the engine and let it run until the fuel runs out. The engine will automatically stop.
4. Allow engine and generator to cool completely before proceeding with next steps.
5. Unlock and open the left maintenance door.
6.  Loosen the drain bolt on the carburettor and drain the fuel into an appropriate container.
7. Turn the Engine Switch to the “OFF” position.
8. Tighten the drain bolt on the carburettor.
9. Close and lock maintenance door.

Engine

• Remove the spark plug and pour about 15 ml of oil into the cylinder.
• Turn the Engine Switch to the “OFF” position.
• Crank the engine by pulling the manual recoil starter a few times to lubricate the cylinder.
• Refit the spark plug and maintenance cover.
• Clean and store the unit in a dry, dust free area out of direct sunlight.
