2. Veiligheidsinligting

Operating a generator safely is crucial to prevent injury or property damage. Always read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating this generator.

• Koolstofmonoksiedgevaar: Generators produce carbon monoxide (CO), an odorless, colorless, poisonous gas. Operate the generator outdoors only, far away from windows, doors, and vents. Never operate in an enclosed space.
• Elektriese skokgevaar: Do not operate the generator in wet conditions. Ensure all connections are dry and properly insulated. Use ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected outlets.
• Brandgevaar: Petrol is hoogs vlambaar. Vul brandstof in 'n goed geventileerde area met die enjin afgeskakel en afgekoel. Moenie rook of oop vlamme naby die kragopwekker toelaat nie.
• Warm oppervlaktes: The generator's engine and muffler become very hot during operation and remain hot for a period after shutdown. Avoid contact to prevent burns.
• Gehoorbeskerming: Prolonged exposure to generator noise can cause hearing damage. Use appropriate hearing protection.
• CO Minder System: This generator is equipped with a CO Minder system designed to automatically shut down the engine if carbon monoxide levels become dangerously high around the generator. This system is an additional safety feature and does not replace the need for safe operating practices.

3. Opstelling

3.1 Uitpak en monteer

Carefully remove the generator from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Ensure all components listed in the packing list are present. Minor assembly, such as attaching wheels or handles, may be required. Refer to the separate assembly guide if provided.

3.2 Byvoeging van enjinolie

The generator is shipped without engine oil. Before first use, add the recommended type and amount of oil.

1. Plaas die kragopwekker op 'n gelyk oppervlak.
2. Vind die olievuldop/peilstok.
3. Remove the cap/dipstick and slowly pour the recommended 4-stroke engine oil (e.g., SAE 10W-30) into the crankcase until it reaches the upper limit mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
4. Maak die olievuldop/peilstok stewig terug.

3.3 Brandstof byvoeg

Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 86 or higher. The fuel tank capacity is approximately 8.19 gallons.

1. Ensure the generator engine is off and cool.
2. Move the generator to a well-ventilated outdoor area for refueling.
3. Verwyder die brandstofdop.
4. Slowly add gasoline to the fuel tank, being careful not to overfill. Leave space for fuel expansion.
5. Maak die brandstofdop stewig terug. Vee enige gemorste brandstof onmiddellik op.
