The operator is instructed by the operating company
about the assigned tasks and possible risks in case of
improper behaviour. Any tasks which need to be perfor-
med beyond the operation if it is indicated in these in-
structions and if the operating company expressively
commissioned the operator.

Qualified personnel

ence as well as their knowledge of relevant regulations
the specialist staff is able to perform the assigned tasks
and to recognise and avoid any possible dangers them-
selves.

Manufacturer

Certain works may only be performed by specialist per-
sonnel of the manufacturer. Other personnel is not au-
thorized to perform these works. Please contact our cus-
tomer service for the execution of all arising work.

2.4 Personal protective equipment

The personal protective equipment serves to protect per-
sons against impairments of safety and health while
working. The staff member has to wear personal protec-
tive equipment while performing different tasks on and
with the machine which are indicated in the individual
paragraphs of these instructions.

The personal protective equipment is explained in the
following paragraph:

2.5 General safety regulations

- Operate the generator ONLY outdoors, sufficiently

distant from windows, doors and fume cupboards.

- Never operate the generator in enclosed spaces that

do not have adequate ventilation. The motor pro-
duces carbon monoxide and other harmful gases
that are harmful to the health of persons in contact
with it. For this reason, adequate ventilation should
be ensured. The combustion exhaust gases are led
out of the motor room or the work area of the per-
sonnel via pipes and extraction systems. Install a
carbon monoxide alarm device!

- Operate the generator only on horizontal surfaces to

ensure optimum flow of oil and fuel to the motor. If
operation on horizontal surfaces is not possible, the
user must install suitable mounting and levelling de-
vices to ensure safe stand the generator.

- If the generator is to be used in rain or snow, provide

adequate protection and stability.

- Keep children away from the running generator at all

times and in any case; ensure that the motor re-
mains hot for about one hour when switched off. The
exhaust pipes, exhaust pipes and motor are the
areas where the elevated temperatures last the lon-
gest. Touching them can cause severe burns.

- Do not carry out any checks or maintenance work on

the generator in operation; switch off the motor in
any case.

- Filling with fuel and refilling with oil must be carried

out with the motor switched off. It is important that
the motor maintains its high temperature for about 1
hour after it has been switched off.

- The functions and circuits of the generator should be

known: Unexperienced persons should not be allo-
wed to use the generator.

- Do not misuse the machine for other purposes, such

as: heating a room with the heat emitted by the mo-
tor, etc.

- If the machine is not in use, do not allow unauthori-

sed persons to use it; therefore, equip the emer-
gency generator with blocking systems (remove the
ignition key, lock the protective cover with appropri-
ate locks, etc.).

- The machine does not need to be equipped with its

own headlights. In any case, the workplace should
be equipped with lighting complying with the applica-
ble standards.

- Do not remove any guards and do not leave the ma-

chine running without suitable protection (sides and
housing) so as not to expose the user to danger.

- If these guards have to be removed (for main-

tenance or inspection), it is essential to switch off the
generator beforehand. This work may only be car-
ried out by qualified personnel.

Protective goggles

The protective goggles serve to protect the eyes
against parts flying off.

Protective gloves

The protective gloves serve to protect the hands
against sharp components as well as against fric-
tion, abrasions or deep injuries.

Safety boots

Safety boots protect the feet from being crushed, fall-
ing parts and slipping over on slippery ground
