2. Instrucións de seguridade

Always follow these safety precautions to reduce the risk of injury, electric shock, fire, and property damage.

2.1 Seguridade xeral

• Le o Manual: Ensure you have read and understood all instructions before operating the generator.
• Só para uso exterior: Operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never operate indoors or in enclosed spaces, as exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is deadly.
• Seguridade de combustible:
  • Store fuel in approved containers in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources.
  • Do not refuel while the engine is running or hot. Allow the generator to cool down before refueling.
  • Avoid spilling fuel. If spilled, wipe it up immediately and ensure the area is dry before starting the generator.
• Seguridade eléctrica:
  • Do not operate the generator in wet conditions or expose it to rain.
  • Ensure all electrical connections are secure and in good condition.
  • Do not overload the generator. Refer to the specifications for maximum wattage.
  • Use only grounded extension cords and appliances.
• Superficies quentes: O motor e o silenciador do xerador quéntanse moito durante o funcionamento e permanecen quentes durante un tempo despois de paralo. Evite o contacto con superficies quentes.
• Nenos e animais: Manteña os nenos e as mascotas lonxe do xerador durante o funcionamento.

2.2 Protección contra sobrecarga

The generator is equipped with overload protection to prevent damage to the unit and connected devices. If the generator is overloaded, the overload indicator light will illuminate, and power output will cease. Reduce the load by disconnecting some appliances before restarting the generator.

5. Instrucións de funcionamento

5.1 Arranque do xerador

1. Asegúrese de que o xerador estea sobre unha superficie nivelada e de que todas as conexións estean seguras.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the "ON" position (if applicable).
3. Move the Run/Off/Choke switch to the "CHOKE" position (for cold starts).
4. Tire da manivela do arrancador de retroceso firmemente e suavemente ata que o motor arranque.
5. Once the engine starts, gradually move the Run/Off/Choke switch to the "RUN" position.

Figure 7: Easy Starting. This image shows a hand pulling the recoil starter cord, demonstrating the simple starting mechanism.

5.2 Conexión de electrodomésticos

• Allow the generator to warm up for a few minutes before connecting appliances.
• Plug in your devices to the appropriate AC or DC outlets.
• Non exceda a potencia nominal do xeradortage (3200W continuous, 3500W peak). Overloading can damage the generator and connected devices.

5.3 ECO Mode Operation

The ECO mode switch allows the generator to automatically adjust engine speed to match the load, reducing fuel consumption and noise levels when less power is required. For maximum power output, ensure ECO mode is switched off.
