NOTE
If the generator stops and cannot be restarted check the oil level first.
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will
decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug
and cause difficult starting. If the generator operates at high altitude, change the main-nozzle
or adjust the idling screw of carburetor.
PAGE 12 Rev 2
If the generator always operates at altitude above 1,000 meters, contact your dealer to modify
the carburetor.
Generator output power should be modified according to the altitude and ambient
temperature. The correction factor refers to 13-2.
WARNING
If the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air-fuel mixture will be too
lean for low altitude use. Operation at low altitude may cause the engine to overheat and
result in serious engine damage. The carburetor needs to be returned to its original
specification.
WARNING
Make sure to ground/earth the generator when the connected appliance is grounded/earthed.
DO NOT connect to the buildings electrical system. Back feeding it is both illegal and highly
dangerous.

DO NOT make parallel connection with mains electrical installations or other generators.
DO NOT connect an extension to the exhaust pipe.
When an extension cable is required, make sure that you use a tough rubber sheathed
flexible cable (according to IEC245 or equivalent standards). The length of the extension
cable:
60m for cable of 1.5 mm
100m for cable of 2.5 mm
NOTE
The AC socket outlet can be used while the DC power is in use. If using both at same time, be
sure not to exceed the total power for AC and DC. (HY1000Si AC - 0.9kVA, DC - 5A) (HY2000Si
AC - 1.6kVA, DC - 5A).
Most motor appliances require upto 3 times more than their rated wattage when starting.
6.1 DC Application.

WARNING
To avoid producing the sparks at the terminals of battery, connect the charging cables firstly
to the battery terminals, and then to the generator. When disconnecting the cables do so first
at the generator.
Before connecting the charging cables to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, the grounded/
chassis cable of the battery should be disconnected first. This sequence will prevent sparks or
a short-circuit, if the cable accidentally contacts the vehicle’s frame or body.
NOTE
Do not start the car's engine when the generator is still connected to the battery, otherwise the
generator will be damaged.
Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive charging cable. Do not reverse the charging
cable, otherwise generator or battery will be damaged seriously.
WARNING
When charging the battery releases highly explosive oxygen/hydrogen gases. Keep the battery
away from sparks/fire and other sources of ignition. Always charge the battery in a well
ventilated area.
Battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid which will cause severe burns if it comes into
contact with the skin and eyes. Therefore it is necessary to wear the protective clothing and
mask.
If battery electrolyte gets into eyes or onto skin, flush thoroughly with warm water for 15
minutes at least, and call a doctor immediately.
If you accidently swallow any battery electrolyte, call for medical/first aid assistance
immediately. If no medical/first aid assistance is available call or get someone else to dial 999.
Keep batteries and electrolyte OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

The quoted figures are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is
a correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to
determine whether or not further precautions are required. Factors that influence the actual
level of exposure of work-force include the characteristics of the work room, the other sources
of noise, etc. i.e. the number of machines and other adjacent processes, and the length of time
for which an operator is exposed to the noise. Also the permissible exposure level can vary from
county. This information, however, will enable the user of the machine to make a better
evaluation of the hazard and risk.
Service dealers are trained professionally. They should be able to answer any questions you have.
If the dealer does not solve your problems, please discuss them with the manager of the dealer.
Most of your problems are solved in this way.
If you are dissatisfied with the decision of the manager of the dealer, contact the Customer
