Gasoline is a highly flammable and explosive liquid. Refuel in a well
ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Use of gasoline with an ethanol content greater than 10% can damage
the engine and fuel system and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
When refueling the generator, keep it away from cigarettes, open flames,
smoke and/or sparks.
Place the generator at least 3 feet away from buildings or other
equipment during operation.
Run the generator on a level surface. Tilting the generator may result in
fuel spills.
Do not touch the spark plug while the engine is operating or shortly after
the engine has been shut down.
Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of
all the controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator without
proper instructions.
Keep children, pets and machinery with rotating parts away during
operation.
Do not operate the generator in rain or snow.
Do not allow any moisture to come in contact with the generator.
1.2 AC SAFETY
WARNING!
Before connecting the generator to an electrical device or power cord:
Make sure that everything is in proper working order. Faulty devices or
power cords can lead to an electrical shock.
Turn off the generator immediately if the device begins to operate
abnormally. Then disconnect the device and investigate the problem.
To prolong engine life, do not exceed the rated running wattage.
Keep away from other electric cables or wires.
Make sure that the electrical rating of the device does not exceed
that of the generator. If the power level of the device is between the
maximum output power and the running power of the generator, the
generator should not be used for more than 30 minutes.
When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a tough rubber
sheathed flexible cable (according to IEC245 or equivalent standards).
The maximum length of the extension cable: 196 feet (60 meters) for
cable of 15.5 gauge (1.5mm2); 328 feet (100 meters) for cable of 13.25
gauge (2.5mm2).
