If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water.

If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at

least 15 minutes and call a physician immediately.

Electrolyte is poisonous. If swallowed, drink large

quantities of water or milk and follow with milk of

magnesia or vegetable oil and call a physician.

To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the

battery, connect charging cables first to the battery, then

to the generator. Disconnect cables first at the generator.

Note.

Never leave the DC plug in the generator when

not using the DC for charging batteries. Always remove

the DC plug from the socket. In most cases it is acceptable

to use both the 12V DC for battery charging and the

AC 240V outlet at the same time. However, when the

generator is working close to the maximum load, the

generator may go into over load where the AC load will

need to be reduced or disconnected.

Generator maintenance

Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all times. The

generator should not be stored or operated in environments

that includes excessive moisture, dust or any corrosive

vapours. If these substances are on the generator, clean with

a cloth or soft bristle brush. Do not use a garden hose or

anything with water pressure to clean the generator. Water

may enter the cooling air slots and could possibly damage the

rotor, stator and the internal windings of the generator head.

Storage

If you are going to store your generator for more than 30

days, use the following information as a guide to prepare

the generator for storage.
Never store the generator with fuel in the tank indoors or in

enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fumes can reach

an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water

heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.

It is recommended that you keep a log of the hours of operation to determine correct maintenance requirements.

Generators that are used in dusty conditions/areas should be serviced more frequently. All servicing should be conducted by

an authorized service agent.
