Electricity
• Do not touch the generator if you have wet hands
• Do not operate the generator in wet conditions.
• Do not operate the generator near water.
• Never connect two generators together.
• Never connect the generator to any commercial
power outlet.
• Make sure any extension cords used are in a safe
condition and of suffi cient capacity for the task.
• Ensure that the load on the generator falls within its
capacity as specifi ed in the table before plugging in
any cords.
To prevent an electric shock, make sure to ground
the generator. Connect a piece of cable between
the ground terminal on the generator and an exter-

Fire and burn hazards
• The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some
materials:
- keep the generator at least 1 meter away from
buildings and other equipment during operation.
- keep fl ammable materials away from the genera-
tor.
• The exhaust becomes very hot during operations
and remains hot for a while after stopping the en-
gine:
- Let the engine cool before storing the generator
indoors.
- Do not touch the hot exhaust with your hands.
• Gasoline is extremely fl ammable and is explosive
under certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow
fl ames or sparks where the generator is refueled or
where gasoline is stored.
• Fuel vapors are extremely fl ammable and may ig-
nite after the engine has started. Make sure that any
spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the
generator.
3. USE

out or fail to start if the oil level is too low. Stop the
engine immediately when the oil warning light (3) is
on.
For general use you can use an «al temperature» oil
10W-40
≤ 0 ºC SAE#10
0 ºC - 25 ºC SAE#20
25 ºC - 35 ºC SAE#30
≥ 35 ºC SAE#40
Fill and check fuel level
• Use unleaded fuel only (octane level 92 and more)
• Remove any power cords
• Turn power switches off
• Do not overfi ll – leave air gap at top of fuel level
• Always screw down fuel cap
