Safety operation standards (core focus)

1. High risk warning and contraindications

Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning: It is strictly prohibited to use it in enclosed/semi enclosed spaces such as indoors, garages, and basements. It can only be operated in outdoor ventilated areas and kept away from doors, windows, ventilation openings, and air conditioning inlets. It is recommended to install carbon monoxide detectors.

Fire and explosion risks: The vehicle must be shut down and cooled down for at least 2 minutes before refueling; Do not overfill (the oil level should not exceed the red filling ring in the fuel tank); Keep away from sources of fire, sparks (cigarettes, static electricity); When there is a fuel leak, it is necessary to wipe it clean immediately and wait for the area to dry before starting.

Electric shock risk: Do not use in damp environments, rainy or snowy weather; Do not touch live terminals and exposed wires during equipment operation; Use grounded three core extension cables and prohibit the use of damaged or aged cables; The connection to the building power grid must be installed by a certified electrician to ensure isolation from the mains.

Other taboos: Not suitable for powering medical equipment; Prohibition of modifying equipment; Overloading operation is prohibited; Do not move or tilt the device while it is running.

2. General safety requirements

Maintain a clearance of at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) around the device during operation, including above; Avoid touching high-temperature components such as mufflers and engines (after cooling).

Wear protective equipment (gloves, goggles) to avoid direct skin contact with engine oil and gasoline; Wash hands promptly after operation.

Cool down for 30 minutes before transportation, keep it level, and if necessary, empty the fuel to prevent leakage; Keep away from sources of fire and heat (such as water heaters, stoves, etc.) during storage.

Battery maintenance: The battery contains sulfuric acid electrolyte (corrosive) and lead compounds, and protective equipment should be worn during operation; No smoking or proximity to fire sources; Prohibit wires and tools from crossing the two poles of the battery; If the acidic solution comes into contact with the skin, immediately rinse with water and apply baking soda to neutralize it.

Assembly and start-up process

1. Open box inspection and assembly

(1) List of unboxing items

Core components: generator host, wheel assembly (2 pieces), lifting hook, battery (36AH), battery charger.

Tools and consumables: spark plug socket wrench, assembly wrench, funnel, M8 flange bolts (4 pieces), split pins (4 pieces), washers (4 pieces), SAE 10W-30 engine oil (1 bottle).

Documents: User Manual, Quick Launch Guide, Product Registration Card.

(2) Assembly steps (requiring collaboration between two people to avoid single person handling)

Wheel installation: Place the generator on a horizontal surface, insert the axle pin through the washer and wheel, insert it into the frame axle bracket, fix it with an open pin, and repeat the operation on the other side (the wheel is only used for manual handling and dragging is prohibited).

Installation of lifting hook: Align the top fuel tank bracket with the lifting hook and tighten it with 4 M8 flange bolts (only used for lifting or fixing the binding strap, do not grip other components for handling).

Battery installation: First, connect the red positive cable to the positive pole of the battery and cover it with a protective sleeve, then connect the black negative cable; Use insulated tools to avoid short circuits between the positive and negative poles.
