DIESEL GENERATOR USE AND SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Read this manual carefully before operating the generator.
Work Area
- Do not use the generator near flammable gases, liquids or dust. During
operation of the generator, its exhaust system becomes very hot. This may cause
fire or explosion of these materials.
- Keep the work area clean and well lit to avoid injuries.
- Keep unauthorized persons, children and animals away from the running
generator.
Electrical Safety
- The generator produces electricity that can cause electric shock in the event
of failure to observe safety precautions.
- Avoid operating the generator in high-humidity environments. Do not allow
moisture to enter the generator, as this increases the risk of electric shock.
- Avoid direct contact with grounded surfaces (pipes, radiators, etc.).
- Be careful when working with the power cord. Replace it immediately in
case of damage, as damaged power cord increases the risk of electric shock.
- All generator connections to the mains supply must be carried out by a
certified electrician in accordance with all electrical codes and regulations.
- Connect the electric generator to the protective ground before operation.
- Do not connect/disconnect the generator to/from power consumers while
standing in water, on wet or damp soil.
- Do not touch live parts of the generator.
- Only connect the generator to the power consumers that correspond to the
electrical specifications and power rating of the generator.
- Keep all electrical equipment dry and clean. Replace damaged or worn
wiring. Worn, damaged, or rusted terminals must be replaced as well.
Personal Safety
- Do not operate the generator when you are tired or under the influence of
potent drugs, alcohol or medication. During operation, inattention can cause
serious injury.
- Avoid inadvertent start-up. Make sure the power switch is set to OFF when
turning off the generator.
- Make sure there are no foreign objects on the generator when it is turned on.
- Always keep proper footing and balance when starting the generator.
- Do not overload the generator; use it for its intended purpose only.
- Do not operate the generator in areas with poor ventilation. Exhaust gases
contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is life threatening!
