Hearing damage
A longer stay in the immediate vicinity of the
running unit may cause hearing damage. Wear ear
protectors!
Emergency procedure
Conduct a first-aid procedure adequate to the injury
and summon qualified medical attendance as quickly
as possible. Protect the injured person from further
harm and calm them down. If you seek help, state the
following pieces of information: 1. Accident site, 2.
Accident type, 3. Number of injured persons, 4. Injury
type(s)
General safety information
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failu-
re 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.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Fuel is highly flammable. Refuel the engine only when
switched off. The appliance may only be refuelled
outdoors 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..
Oil products must not come into contact with skin,
eyes and clothing.
Some parts of the appliance get too hot when the
appliance 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
operate 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 di-
rectly 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.
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.
Electrical safety
Electric supply cables and connected equipment
must be in perfect condition.
Do not connect the unit with other energy sources.
Do not connect the unit to home network.
Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit
breakers specially matched to the generating set. If
the circuit breakers require replacement they must
be replaced with a circuit breaker having identical
ratings and performance characteristics.
Due to high mechanical stresses only tough rubber-
sheathed flexible cable (in accordance with IEC 245-4)
or the equivalent should be used.
Extension cables (H07RN...) approved to be used out-
doors and properly marked to be used outdoors only.
Provide adequate grounding.
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.
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 swit-
ching the appliance on. Check especially the safety
equipment, electrical control elements, power lines
and screw couplings for any damage and if they
are tightened appropriately. Replace any damaged
parts before the appliance is put into operation if
necessary.
The unit may only be operated in the operating posi-
tion (flat surface) as fuel or oil may leak or lubrication
will no longer be provided.
Starting the engine
The unit is protected against low oil level. When the
oil level is too low, the unit cannot be started (oil
indicator turns on in case of attempted starting).
WARNING: When starting with the reserve starter, the
motor may recoil suddenly as it starts up, resulting in
hand injuries. Wear protective gloves when starting
the equipment.
operation
Generating sets may only be loaded up to their rated
power under the rated ambient conditions.
The equipment must not get exposed to moisture or
dust. The allowed ambient temperature is from -10°C
to +40°C, height: 1,000 m above the sea level, relative
air humidity: 90% (non-condensing)
engine protection
The generator is fitted with an overload cut-out. This
isolates the relevant sockets if an overload occurs.
Important. If this happens, reduce the electric power
you are taking from the generator or remove any
defective connected appliances.
