DANGER: Never connect the generator set ear-
thing wire to piping. In addition, the piping is
carrying flammable substances such as gas or
fuel oil, there is always a risk of a fire or explosion
in the event of a short-circuit.
RECEIPT AND HANDLING :
On receipt of your generator set, check that the equipment
is in good condition and that your order is complete. The
generator should be handled with care and no sudden
movements, after preparing the area for its storage or use
in advance.
Never try to start the generator before carrying
out the preparation as described in section 2 of
the manual
EARTHING
Earth the generator set each time it is used to prevent elec-
trocution. For this purpose, use a 10 mm2 copper wire atta-
ched to the generator's earth connector and a galvanised
steel earth rod inserted 1 metre into the ground (equipment
not supplied with generator set). This earthing also dissipa-
tes the static electricity generated by electrical machinery.
