d. Do not tamper with components that
regulate the engines speed. You may alter the
factory set running parameters.
e. Use only the type of fuel listed in the
Engine Instruction Manual. Using fuel with
an octane rating less than that specified can
lead to excessive engine wear and premature
engine failure.
f. Keep the area around the engine clear,
clean and tidy. Never allow any combustible
material (timber, plastic, cardboard, canvas etc)
near a running engine.
g. Do not use in or near to potentially
explosive atmospheres. Dust laden
atmospheres as can be found in some industrial
buildings (Flour Mills, Timber Mills) have an
explosive potential.
h. Regularly check the fuel system for leaks.
Hoses and unions should be checked for
deterioration or chafing. Check the fuel tank for
damage or for a poorly fitting or worn fuel cap.
Any defects must be rectified before the
engine is used.
i. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool
down before refuelling. Try to avoid any fuel
spillage (often caused by 'overfilling' the tank)
and clean up any spilt fuel immediately. The
application of dry sand is an effective way of
neutralising fuel spills.
j. Do not allow the engine to run out of fuel
while a generator under load is attached.
Surging of the engine as it uses the last of
the fuel could cause damage to connected
electrical equipment.
k. When transporting the engine in a vehicle
ensure that the fuel tap is turned off. To
minimise the risk of fuel spillage the engine
should be secured by ropes etc to the load area
of the vehicle so that it cannot move during
transportation. The engine should be secured
in as level an attitude as possible.
l. For long term storage we recommend that
the fuel system of the engine is drained.
During long term storage additives in modern
fuels can precipitate from the fuel and block jets
and valves in the fuel system.
m. Store the machine in a secure and well
ventilated area. Unauthorised personnel should
not have access to this machine.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
a. Never use the generator in wet conditions.
If using outdoors and rain is a possibility,
protect the generator. Observe all safety
rules and also ensure that adequate ventilation
is maintained.
b. Never operate the generator with wet
hands. Risk of electric shock.
c. Never allow the generators air vents to
become blocked. There is the risk of fire or
damage to the generator if the ventilation
is inadequate.
d. Never use water or other liquids to clean
the generator. Risk of damage to the generators
internal parts from water ingress.
e. Never connect to a commercial or
domestic power supply. House ring main.
f. Never allow the engine to run out of fuel
or switch off the engine with the generator
connected and under load. Risk of damage to
connected equipment when the engine surges
as it uses the last of the fuel.
g. The applied load must not exceed the
generator rating. Overloading the generator
can be dangerous and could also cause
serious damage to the generator and/or
connected appliances.
h. Always ensure that the engine has
reached operational temperature and that
the generator is running at the required
operational speed. Applying a load to a petrol
driven generator that is not at full operational
efficiency can cause damage to the connected
equipment and/or the generator.
i. Only attempt maintenance with the
generator disconnected from any load.
The engine should be stopped and cold.
j. Observe all safety rules for the operation
of the Engine as outlined in the relevant
Instruction Manual. Observe particularly the
refuelling procedures and safety rules.
