6. Safety information
We have marked points in the operating manual that impact
your safety with this symbol: m
Furthermore, the operating manual contains other important
text sections that are marked with the word "ATTENTION!".
m Attention!
When using equipment, several safety warnings must be ob-
served to prevent injuries and damage. For this reason, please
carefully read this operating manual / safety instructions. If
the device is handed over to another person, hand over the
operating and safety instructions with it. We accept no liability
for accidents or damage that occur due to a failure to observe
this manual and the safety instructions.
m DANGER
A failure to observe these instructions poses an extreme dan-
ger of death or the risk of life-threatening injuries.
m WARNING
A failure to observe these instructions poses a danger of death
or the risk of serious injuries.
m CAUTION
A failure to observe these instructions poses a minor to moder-
ate risk of injury.
NOTE!
A failure to observe these instructions poses a risk of damage
to the engine or other property.
1)
It is prohibited to make any modifications to the power
generator.
2)
The manufacturer's preset speed must not be changed.
Power generators or connected devices may be dam-
aged.
Danger of poisoning! Exhaust gases, fuel and lubri-
3)
cants are poisonous, exhaust gases may not be inhaled.
Fire risk! Petrol and fuel vapours are highly flammable
4)
and explosive.
5)
Motor exhaust gases are toxic. The power generator
must not be operated in unventilated rooms. If the gen-
erator is to be operated in well-ventilated rooms, the ex-
haust gases must be discharged directly outside via an
exhaust gas hose. Additional requirements for protection
against fire and explosion must also be observed. Toxic
exhaust gases can also escape when operating an ex-
haust hose. Because of the risk of fire, the exhaust hose
must never be directed at flammable materials.
6)
Never operate the power generator in rooms with highly
flammable substances.
Hot surfaces! Danger of burning, do not touch suction
7)
system and drive unit.
8)
Do not touch any mechanically moving or hot parts. Do
not remove any protective covers.
Protective equipment! Use suitable hearing protec-
9)
tion when you are near the device.
10) Only original parts may be used for maintenance and
accessories.
11) Repair and adjustment work may only be carried out by
authorised specialist personnel.
12) Protect yourself from electrical hazards.
13) Never touch the power generator with wet hands.
14) Only use approved and appropriately identified exten-
sion cables for use outdoors (H07RN).
15) If extension leads or mobile distribution networks are
used, the resistance value must not exceed 1.5 Ω. As a
guideline value, the total length of lines for a cross-sec-
tion of 1.5 mm² should not exceed 60 m, and for a cross-
section of 2.5 mm², 100 m should not be exceeded.
16) Never operate the power generator during rain or snow-
fall.
17) Always switch off the engine during transport and refuel-
ling.
18) Fuel is combustible and highly flammable. Do fuel the
unit during operation. Do not fuel the unit when someone
is smoking or near open flames. Do not spill any fuel.
19) Do not refuel or empty the tank near open light, fire or
flying sparks. Smoking prohibited!
20) Give the power generator a secure, level place. Turning
and tilting or changing location during operation are for-
bidden.
21) Place the power generator at least 1 m away from walls
or connected devices.
22) Children must be protected by ensuring that they stay a
safe distance away from the inverter power generator.
23) Some parts of the reciprocating internal combustion mo-
tor are hot and may cause burns. The warnings on the
generator must be observed.
24) Values specified in the technical data under sound
power level (L
) and sound pressure level (L
WA
sent emission levels and are not necessarily safe working
levels. Since there is a correlation between emission and
exposure levels, it cannot be reliably used to determine
any additional precautionary measures that may be re-
quired. Factors influencing the current exposure level of
the worker include the characteristics of the workspace,
other noise sources, airborne noise, etc., such as the num-
ber of machines and other adjacent processes and the
length of time an operator is exposed to the noise. The
permitted exposure level may also vary from country to
country. Nevertheless, this information will enable the
operator of the machine to make a better assessment of
the risks and hazards. If necessary, acoustical measure-
ments should be taken after installation to determine the
sound pressure level.
25) Warning! Comply with the electrical safety regulations
applicable to the place where the inverter power genera-
tors are used.
26) Warning! Consider the requirements and precautionary
measures in case of re-supply of a system by inverter
power generators depending on the protective measures
of this system and the applicable directives.
27) Inverter power generators should only be used up to
their rated power under the rated ambient conditions. If
the inverter power generator is used in conditions that do
not comply with the reference conditions according to
ISO 8528-8:2016, 7.1, and if the cooling of the engine
or generator is impaired, e.g. as a result of operation in
restricted areas, a reduction in power is required.
