Engine exhaust gases are toxic. Do not operate the generating set in unventilated rooms. When installed in

ventilated rooms, additional requirements for fire and explosion protection shall be observed.

Before use, the generating set and its electrical equipment (including lines and plug connections) should be

checked to ensure that they are not defective.

Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit breakers specially matched to the generating set. If the

circuit breakers require replacement, they should be replaced with a circuit breaker having identical ratings

and performances characteristics.

Due to high mechanical stresses, only tough rubber-sheathed flexible cable (in accordance with IEC 60245-4)

or the equivalent should be used.

The user shall conform to regulations of electrical safety applicable to the place where the generating sets are

used.

The user must respect the requirements and precautions in the case of resupply by generating sets of an
installation, depending on existing protective measures in this installation and applicable regulations.

Generating sets should only be loaded up to their rated power under the rated ambient conditions.

Prior to commencing maintenance work it shall be ensured that untimely start-up is not possible.

Security measures when filling the fuel tank

The fuel is extremely flammable and poisonous.

This generator only uses petrol (gasoline); any other kind of fuel will damage the motor.

Do not overfill the tank with petrol to avoid spilling. If you notice a spill, it must be wiped up completely with
a dry cloth before starting the motor.

If you swallow fuel by mistake, if you inhale fuel vapours or if you get drops of fuel in your eyes, see a doctor
immediately. If a certain quantity of fuel is spilt on your skin or clothing, wash or change your clothes.

Always stop the motor of the generator when filling it with fuel.

Never fill the fuel tank while smoking or near a naked flame.

Make sure you don’t spill fuel on the motor and the exhaust grille of the generator during filling with fuel.

Keep the fuel in an appropriate recipient and sheltered from any sources of fire.

Carry out filling in a safe place, and slowly open the fuel cap to release the pressure which has built up inside
the tank. Wipe up any drops of petrol that have spilled before starting the motor.

To prevent fire, move the generator at least 4 metres away from the area for filling with fuel.

Make sure that the fuel cap is tightly closed before starting.
