Danger!

Read all safety regulations and instructions.

Any errors made in following the safety regulations and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place for future use.

• No changes may be made to the generator.
- Only original parts may be used for maintenance and accessories.
• Important: Danger of poisoning, do not inhale
emissions.
• Children are to be kept away from the generator.
- Important: Risk of burns. Do not touch the exhaust system or drive unit.
- Wear suitable ear protection when in the vicinity of the equipment.
- Important: Petrol and petrol fumes are highly combustible or explosive.
- Never operate the generator in non-ventilated rooms or in easily inflammable adjacency. When operating the generator in rooms with good ventilation, the exhaust gases must be channeled directly outdoors through an exhaust hose. Important: Toxic exhaust gases can escape despite the exhaust hose. Due to the fire hazard, never direct the exhaust hose towards inflammable materials.
- Risk of explosion: Never operate the genera-

tor in rooms with combustible materials.
- The speed preset by the manufacturer is not allowed to be changed. The generator or connected equipment may be damaged.
- Secure the generator against shifting and toppling during transport.
- Place the generator at least 1m away from buildings and the equipment connected to it.
- Place the generator in a secure, level position. Do not turn, tip or change the generator's position while it is working.
• Always switch off the engine when transporting and refueling the generator.
• Make sure that when you refuel the generator no fuel is spilt on the engine or exhaust pipe.
- Never operate the generator in rain or snow.
• Never touch the generator with wet hands.
- Guard against electric danger. When working outdoors, use only extension cables that are approved for outdoor use and which are marked accordingly (H07RN..).
- The overall length of the extension cables used may not exceed 50 m for 1.5 mm ^2 and 100 m for 2.5 m ^2 .
- No changes may be made to the settings of the motor or generator.
