1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The operator must know the principles of functioning and the structure of the generator and the
motor. He must know how to stop the motor in case of urgency and how to manipulate the
controls.
Never let children use this device.
Never let people who do not know these instructions use this device. Local regulations may
impose restrictions on the age of the user.
Please do not use this device when people, especially children, or pets are nearby. Direct them
away from the working area.
The operator or the user are responsible for possible accidents or damage to other persons or
to their property.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery as this can get caught in the machinery as it runs.
Use safety equipment. Wear protective gear such as an anti-dust mask, non-slip safety shoes,
helmet or hearing protection.
Stay vigilant, watch what you are doing and show good sense when you use the generator. Do
not use if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicines.
Install the generator in a place that is well ventilated and make sure that there is at least 1.5
meters between the generator and the walls of the building or other equipment. Do not place
flammable liquids or gases near the generator.
Do not run the generator in an enclosed or badly-ventilated space. The exhaust gas from the
motor contains carbon monoxide which is toxic and may lead to a loss of consciousness or
death.
Run the generator in respect of the power indicated in the user’s manual. Do not run the
generator with an overload or at excessive speed.
The silencer of the generator becomes extremely hot when the motor runs or even for a time
after it has stopped. Do not touch it as it will burn you.
Do not transport or move the generator until it has cooled down.
Perform periodic maintenance and resolve problems that appear immediately. Do not run the
generator before correcting any fault detected.
The generator uses a system of air-cooling, and it is necessary to clean its components
regularly, including the grilles, the cover of the fan and the fan itself so as to ensure cooling.
Keep the fuel filter clean, and change the oil of the motor regularly.
Periodically check the installation of the connections and the tightness of the fixations, re-
tightening them if necessary.
Clean the components of the air filter periodically, and replace the air filter when necessary.
Remove any electrical equipment that is plugged in before starting or stopping the generator.
Before transporting the generator, you must empty the fuel tank.
Maintenance and repair of the generator must be carried out by a qualified technician from an
authorized after-sales service center.
The adjustment points of the machine shall not be modified by the end-user. Any modification
shall be done by a qualified service.
Attention! Exhaust gases, oil and fuel are toxic. Do not operate the generator in a room without
ventilation system.
Refilling of the generating sets is not allowed during the operation.
If the generator will be mounted in a closed room, relevant safety regulations against fire and
explosion should be followed.
Do not connect to household circuit.
03
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS > EN
Do not use in wet condition.
Keep in flammable away.
Warning: when you start the generator with the cord, watch out for sudden changes in the
rotation of the motor!!! Risk of wounding!!!
Never cover the generator when it is running.
The cut-out mounted on the generator has the aim of reducing the risk of electric shock. If it
needs to be replaced with another cut-out, the latter must correspond to the technical
specifications of the generator. Due to important mechanical constraints, it is necessary to use
a flexible sheathed cable with a strong rubber protective layer (conforming to IEC 245-4) or a
similar cable.
When using extension lines or mobile distribution networks the resistance value shall not
exceed 1,5 Ω. For reference, the total length of lines for a cross section of 1,5 mm2 should not
exceed 60 m; for a cross section of 2,5 mm2, this should not exceed 100 m (except the case
the generating set complies with the protection feature “protection by electrical separation”.
Additional requirements for low-power generating sets for use by laymen
Protect children by keeping them at a safe distance from the generating set.
Fuel is combustible and easily ignited. Do not refuel during operation. Do not refuel while
smoking or near naked flames. Do not spill fuel.
Some parts of the internal combustion engine are hot and may cause burns. Pay attention to
the warnings on the generating set.
Engine exhaust gases are toxic. Do not operate the generating set in unventilated rooms.
When installed in ventilated rooms, additional requirements for fire and explosion protection
shall be observed.
Before use, the generating set and its electrical equipment (including lines and plug
connections) should be checked to ensure that they are not defective.
Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit breakers specially matched to the
generating set. If the circuit breakers require replacement, they should be replaced with a
circuit breaker having identical ratings and performances characteristics.
Due to high mechanical stresses, only tough rubber-sheathed flexible cable (in accordance
with IEC 60245-4) or the equivalent should be used.
The user shall conform to regulations of electrical safety applicable to the place where the
generating sets are used.
The user must respect the requirements and precautions in the case of resupply by generating
sets of an installation, depending on existing protective measures in this installation and
applicable regulations.
Generating sets should only be loaded up to their rated power under the rated ambient
conditions.
Prior to commencing maintenance work it shall be ensured that untimely start-up is not
possible.
Security measures when filling the fuel tank
The fuel is extremely flammable and poisonous.
This generator only uses petrol (gasoline); any other kind of fuel will damage the motor.
Do not overfill the tank with petrol to avoid spilling. If you notice a spill, it must be wiped up
completely with a dry cloth before starting the motor.
If you swallow fuel by mistake, if you inhale fuel vapors or if you get drops of fuel in your eyes,
see a doctor immediately. If a certain quantity of fuel is spilt on your skin or clothing, wash or
change your clothes.
04
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS > EN
Always stop the motor of the generator when filling it with fuel.
Never fill the fuel tank while smoking or near a naked flame.
Make sure you don’t spill fuel on the motor and the exhaust grille of the generator during filling
with fuel.
Keep the fuel in an appropriate recipient and sheltered from any sources of fire.
Carry out filling in a safe place, and slowly open the fuel cap to release the pressure which has
built up inside the tank. Wipe up any drops of petrol that have spilled before starting the motor.
To prevent fire, move the generator at least 4 meters away from the area for filling with fuel.
Make sure that the fuel cap is tightly closed before starting.
Do not keep petrol in the tank for a long time.
While using or transporting the generator, make sure you keep the generator upright,
otherwise the fuel may escape from the carburetor or the fuel tank.
Electrical safety
Before each use ensure that the load to be connected does not exceed the power of the current
produced by the generator.
To avoid electric shock, you must follow the following instructions:
Do not touch the generator with wet hands.
Do not run the generator under rain or snow.
Do not run the generator near water.
Connect the generator to earth. Use a sufficiently thick conductor for the earth wire.
Do not operate the generator in parallel with another generator.
If using electrical extensions, make sure that they are sufficiently thick to transport the current
and that they are used correctly.
The connection of a generator used for auxiliary power to the electrical installation of a
building must be performed by a qualified electrician, and in conformity to the provisions of the
applicable laws and norms in the field of electricity. Incorrect connections will cause leakage of the
current from the generator into the lines of the public electricity company. Such leakage could
electrocute the workers of the public electricity company working on the network or other persons
in contact with the line during a power cut. Also, when the public power supply is re-established,
the generator can explode, catch fire or generate fires in the building’s electrical installation.
Before connecting electrical devices to the generator, make sure that their voltage
specifications and frequency of functioning correspond to the technical characteristics of the
generator. There may be damage if the device connected is not designed to function with a
voltage tolerance of +/- 10% or a frequency tolerance of +/- 3 % compared with those of the
generator.
Protection of the environment
You must periodically check the silencer (Before doing this, switch off the generator and let it
cool completely). A damaged silencer increases noise.
Do not throw motor oil into the drains but deposit it at a collection point set up for that purpose.
The fuel for this machine is combustible and explosive. After stopping the machine, you must
handle the remaining fuel correctly and meet local environmental requirements.

FUEL SAFETY
DANGER!
GASOLINE, GASOLINE VAPORS AND LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG: with Propane) ARE
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration.
Gasoline and Gasoline Vapors (Gas): GAS IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
— Gas can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
— Gas is a liquid fuel but its vapors can ignite.
— Gas is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
— Gas has a distinctive odor; this will help detect potential leaks quickly.
— In any gas fire, flames should not be extinguished unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can
be turned OFF. This is because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF,
then an explosion hazard could be created.
— Gas expands or contracts with ambient temperatures. Never fill the gas tank to full capacity, as
gas needs room to expand if temperatures rise.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG: with Propane)
— LPG( with Propane) IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
— Flammable gas under pressure can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
— LPG(with Propane) is heavier than air and can settle in low places while dissipating.
— LPG(with Propane) has a distinctive odor added to help detect potential leaks quickly.
— In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished unless by doing so the fuel supply
valve can be turned OFF. This is because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned
OFF, then an explosion hazard could be created.
— When exchanging LPG(with Propane) cylinders, be sure the cylinder valve is of the same type.
— Always keep the LPG(with Propane) cylinder in an upright position.
— LPG(with Propane) will bum skin if it comes in contact with it. Keep any and all LPG(with
Propane)away from skin at all times.

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS > EN
NOTE:
Recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.
1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add 0.6L of oil and replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
NOTE:
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the dipstick while checking.
CAUTION
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls below
the threshold level.
NOTE:
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the break-in period for the unit. During the break in period
stay at or below 50% of the running watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow stator windings to
heat and cool. Adjusting the load will also cause engine speed to vary and help seat piston rings. After the
5 hour break-in period, change the oil
