General Safety Rules
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Minimum safe distance is 5 m.
Never let children work with the appliance. Never let
adults work with the appliance unless they have been
properly trained.
Wear personal protective equipment.
No change can be made in respect of engine and unit
setting.
It is strictly prohibited to disassemble, modify
and purposely remove the protective equipment
on the unit and fit other protective equipment
instead.
The appliance must not be used if damaged or
safety equipment is defective. Replace any
worn-out and damaged parts.
Fuel is highly flammable. Refuel the engine only when
switched off. The appliance may only be refuelled out-
doors and not near open fire or burning cigarettes. Make
sure the fuel does not overflow. If the fuel overflows, the
engine must not be started. Remove any dirt from the
appliance and prevent any attempt at ignition until fuel
fumes have evaporated. Store fuel in containers specifi-
cally designed for this purpose;
Oil products must not come into contact with skin, eyes
and clothing.
Some parts of the appliance get too hot when the appli-
ance is operated. Do not touch any hot parts, e.g. engine
and muffler. Contacting hot parts of the unit may cause
burns. Pay attention to the warnings on the advice.
Exhaust gases, fuel and lubricants are toxic. Do not ope-
rate the unit in closed spaces where dangerours carbon
monoxide gases may accumulate.
When operating the generator in rooms with good
ventilation, the exhaust gases must be channeled directly
outdoors through an exhaust hose.
WARNING! Toxic exhaust gases can escape despite the
exhaust hose. Due to the fire hazard, never direct the
exhaust hose towards inflammable materials.
The motor must not be operated with excessive rotary
speed. The operation of the motorwith excessive rotary
speed raises the risk of injury. Parts which affect the rotary
speed must not be altered or replaced.
Electrical safety
Check the device and its electrical components (including
cables and plug connections) before use to make sure
that there are no defects present.
The power generator may not be connected to other po-
wer sources, such as the power supply of the public grid.
In specific cases, where a back-up connection to existing
electrical systems is provided for, this may be done only
by a qualified electrician, who takes into account the dif-
ferences between the equipment operated on the public
grid and the operation of the power generator.
Do not connect the unit with other energy sources. Do
not connect the unit to home network.
Electric supply cables and connected equipment must be
in perfect condition.
Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit
breakers specially matched to the generating set. If the
circuit breakers require replacement they must be repla-
ced with a circuit breaker having identical ratings and
performance characteristics.
Due to the high mechanical loads, use only hard-wearing
rubber-cased cables (according to IEC 60245-4) or equi-
valent. Extension cables (H07RN...) approved to be used
outdoors and properly marked to be used outdoors only.
The resistance value of 1.5 Ω may not be exceeded if
extension cables or portable distributor systems are used.
When using extension cables, their total length may not
exceed 50 m in respect of 1.5 mm2 and 100 m in respect
of 2.5 mm2. Protective equipment „Protective separation
with potential balancing" is provided and integrated by
the producer. Ensuring that the housing is earthed is
necessary to discharge static charges
WARNING! Local regulations for electrical safety must be
observed
WARNING! Do not use in rainyor wet conditions.
Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets). Electrical
equipment (including lines and plug connections) should
not be defective.
Due to high mechanical stresses onlytough rubber-
sheathed flexible cable or the equivalent should be used.
The user that he shall conform to regulations of electrical
safety applicable to the place where the generating sets
are used.
Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified
electrician or electrical inspector for local applicable
regulations.
Before start-up
Safe operation requires sufficient operator knowledge of
the functions and positions of the controls and indicators
or meters. Pay attention to the illustrated pages in the
front section of the manual.
The appliance should only be used when in a perfect
state. Carry out a visual inspection before switching the
appliance on. Check especially the safety equipment,
electrical control elements, power lines and screw coup-
lings for any damage and if they are tightened appropri-
ately. Replace any damaged parts before the appliance is
put into operation if necessary.
The unit may only be operated in the operating position
(flat surface) as fuel or oil may leak or lubrication will no
longer be provided.
Check the petrol and oil levels and top up if necessary
top up.
CAUTION:
When starting up the generator for the first time
petrol and engine oil must be filled. (p. 3-6)
