Additional safety rules for generators
• Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas
include where there is a risk of explosion of petrol fumes,
leaking gas or explosive dust.
• Do not operate in a confined area. Exhaust gases,
smoke or fumes could reach dangerous concentrations.
• The output of this generator is potentially lethal. The
generator should not be connected to a fixed electrical
installation except by an appropriately licensed person.
• Protect your generator. This generator is NOT
WEATHERPROOF and should not be exposed to direct
sunlight, high ambient temperature and damp, wet or
high humidity conditions.
• Do not smoke while refuelling. This is potentially
dangerous as it may ignite the fuel and cause an explosion.
• Take care not to spill fuel. When refuelling the generator
ensure that the motor has been switched off. Prevent the
spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with the hot motor.
Never refuel whilst the engine running.
• Be careful where you store the generator. Store the
generator in a dry area away from inflammable liquids.
• Keep your distance. The generator emits exhaust
fumes. As a safety precaution do not stand close to the
unit whilst it is in operation. Ensure bystanders also keep
their distance.
• Ground (earth) your generator. Ensure that the
generator has been ground by using an earth lead.
Simply connect one end of the Earth lead to the generator
where marked and the other end should be pressed into
the ground.
• Ensure the generator has oil. Before commencing
the generator, ensure that the unit has been filled with
SAE#30 4 stroke oil.
• Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when
engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling
fuel tank.
• Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe
operation. Tampering with the engine speed adjustment
could result in overheating of attachments and could
cause a fire. Never attempt to “speed-up” the engine to
obtain more performance. Both the output voltage and
frequency will be thrown out of standard by this practice,
endangering attachments and the user.
You MUST unplug any load from the generator before
starting and stopping to prevent permanent damage to
any appliances.
Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your GMC generator is faulty or that a part is missing.
If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
