No alterations or modifications may be made to
■
the power generator.
The manufacturer's preset speed must not be
■
changed. The generator or connected appliances
could be damaged.
RISK OF POISONING! Exhaust gases, fuels and
■
lubricants are toxic. Do not inhale exhaust gases.
FIRE RISK! Petrol and petrol vapours are highly
■
inflammable/explosive.
The power generator may not be used in unven-
■
tilated spaces or in highly inflammable environ-
ments. If the power generator is to be used in
well-ventilated rooms, the exhaust gases should
be led directly out into the open via an exhaust
hose.
Even when using an exhaust hose, toxic gases
■
can still be released. Due to the risk of fire, the
exhaust hose must never be aimed towards inflam-
mable substances.
Never operate the power generator in rooms
■
containing inflammable materials.
HOT SURFACES! Risk of burns. Do not touch the
■
exhaust system or the drive unit.

■
only under given operating conditions. If the
generator is not operated under the conditions
as described in ISO 8525 and if the engine or
generator cooling is impaired, e.g. as a result of
operation in confined spaces, the load must be
reduced.
The load must be reduced if the temperature,
altitude and/or humidity are higher than the
specified operating conditions.
