5. Safety information

1. No modifications are allowed to be made to the genera-

2. The speed preset by the manufacturer may not be

changed. The generator or connected devices could be damaged.

3. Risk of poisoning! Fumes, fuels and lubricants are

toxic. Do not breath in the fumes.

4. Fire risk! Petrol and petrol fumes are highly flammable

5. Motor exhaust gases are toxic. The generator must not

be operated in unventilated rooms. If the generator is to be operated in well-ventilated rooms, the exhaust gases must be discharged directly outside via an exhaust gas hose. Additional requirements for protection against fire and explosion must also be observed. Even when using an exhaust hose, toxic gas can still escape. Due to the risk of fire, the exhaust hose should never be aimed at combustible material.

6. Never use the generator in rooms with highly flammable

7. Hot surface! Risk of burning, do not touch the exhaust

system and engine unit.

8. Do not touch any of the mechanically moving or hot parts.

Do not remove any of the protective caps.

9. Protective equipment! Use suitable ear protection

when near the device.

10. Only original parts should be used for maintenance and

11. Repair and maintenance work must only be performed by

authorised qualified personnel.

12. Protect yourself from electric shocks.

13. Never touch the generator with wet hands

14. Only use outside with a extension cable which is suitable

for that and is appropriately marked (H07RN).

15. If extension cables or mobile distribution networks are

should not exceed 60 m; for a cross section of 2.5 mm

, 100 m should not be exceeded.

16. Do not use the generator in the rain or snow.

17. Always turn off the engine when transporting or refuelling.

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.

22. Children must be protected by ensuring that they stay a

safe distance away from the 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. Emission levels are represented in the technical data un-

der the stated values for sound power level (L

) and sound pressure level (L

) and are not compulsory definite working levels. Because there is a connection between emission levels and immission levels, this can not reliably used to determine the potentially necessary additional precautions. Influencing factors on the workforce‘s cur- rent immission level includes the properties of the work area, other noise sources, air borne sound, etc. such as e.g. the number of machines and other neighbouring pro- cesses and intervals, to which the user is exposed. Also the admissible immission levels can vary from country to country. However, this information gives the user of the machine the opportunity to have a better estimation of the risks and dangers. Occasionally acoustic measurements should be take after installation in order to determine the sound pressure level.

25. Warning! Follow the electrical safety regulations that ap-

ply to the location where the generators are used.

26. Warning! Take into account the requirements and pre-

cautionary measures in the event of generators being re- supplied, depending on the protective measures of this device and the applicable directives.

27. Generator sets should only be used up to their rated out-

put under the rated ambient conditions. If the application of the generating set is carried out under conditions which do not comply with the reference conditions of ISO 8528- 10 (7.1), and if the cooling of the motor or generator is impaired, e.g. as a result of operating in restricted areas, a reduction in performance is required.

Attach all parts before pouring in fuel or oil in order to prevent leaking of liquids. Electrical safety Prior to use, the generator and its electrical equipment (includ- ing lines and plug connectors) should be checked to ensure that there are no defects. Never connect the generator to the mains (power point). Keep the cables as short as possible. Earthing (Fig. 1) Earthing is needed to disperse static discharge. Connect a ca- ble from one side of the earthing connector (7) of the generator and from the other side to an external ground. ATTENTION! When being used for the first time, motor oil (15W-40, approx. 0.25 l) and petrol (unleaded normal petrol) must be put in. Check the fuel level and the oil, and if necessary top them up. Make sure you have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the spark cable is securely in the spark plug. Unplug any electric device connected to the generator. Putting in oil (Fig. 5) Put the generator with its front side down and unscrew the oil filler plug (13). Pour in 0.25 litres of engine oil (15W-40). Close the oil filler cap (13) and stand the generator upright Putting in fuel (Fig. 1/7) Keep away from ignition sources! Always refuel in well-ventilat- ed rooms or outside. Open the fuel tank cap (2) and, using a filler pipe (not included in delivery), pour in a maximum of 4.2 litres of unleaded fuel into the fuel container. Ensure the tank level is not exceeded and no fuel is spilled. Use the fuel filter. Clean up spilled fuel immediately and wait until the fuel fumes have evaporated (fire hazard). Close the fuel tank cap (2).
