FIRE
Never fill with fuel when the generator set is in operation or when the motor is hot.
- Clean all traces of fuel with a clean cloth.
- Petrol is extremely flammable and its fumes are explosive. It is prohibited to smoke,
approach a flame or produce sparks while the tank is being filled.
- Remove any flammable or explosive product (petrol, oil, cloth, etc.) while the set is opera-
ting.
- Always position the generator set on a level, flat and horizontal floor to avoid the fuel from
the tank spilling onto the motor. Oil products must be stored and handled in accordance
with legislation.
EXHAUST GAS
The exhaust gas contains a highly toxic substance: carbon monoxide. This substance can
be lethal at an excessive concentration in the air we breathe. For this reason, always use
your generator set in a well-ventilated place where gases cannot accumulate.
- In addition, good ventilation is required for the correct operation of your generator set.
Without this ventilation, the motor would rapidly rise to an excessive temperature which
would cause accidents or damage to the surrounding equipment or property.
- However, if operation inside a building is required, provide suitable ventilation such that
the people or animals present are not affected. It is essential to exhaust gases outside.
BURNS
- Never touch the motor or the exhaust silencer while the generator set is in operation or
for a few minutes after it has been shut down.
- Some preservation oils are flammable. In addition, some are hazardous to inhale. Provide
good ventilation. Use a protective mask for injection.
- Hot oil causes burns. Avoid skin contact with hot oil. Make sure that the system is not
pressurised before any intervention. Never start or run the motor with the oil filling cap
removed, as there is a risk of oil being released.
