General safety instructions
The generator shall always be used in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions laid down in the
instruction handbook. The manufacturer will not be
liable in cases of inappropriate use or modifications
of the appliance. Also, follow the safety advice, the
installation and operation manual and also to the valid
accident prevention regulations. Appliances with in-
correct or missing parts or without a security case are
not to be operated. The service centre provides you
with information concerning replacement parts.
1. Read the instruction carefully. Be familiar with the
controls and proper use of the equipment.
2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with
these instructions to use the machine. Local regu-
lations can restrict the age of the operator.
3. Never work while people, especially children, or
pets are nearby.
4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is respon-
sible for accidents or hazards occurring to other
people or their property.
5. Major repair work shall be carried out only by spe-
cifically trained personnel.
6. WARNING-Petrol is highly flammable:
• store fuel in containers specifically designed for
this purpose;
• refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while re-
fueling;
• add fuel before starting the engine. Never re-
move the cap of fuel tank or add petrol while
the engine is running or when the engine is hot;
• if petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the en-
gine but move the machine away from the area
of spillage and avoid creating any source of igni-
tion until petrol vapours have dissipated;
• replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.
7. Replace faulty silencers;
8. Before using, always visually inspect to see that
the tools are not worn or damaged. Replace worn
or damaged elements and bolts in sets to preserve
balance.
9. Do not smoke near the generator.
10. Do not wear loose clothing, jewellery, or similar
items that could be caught in the starter or other

12. Generating sets may only be loaded up to their rat-
ed power under the rated ambient condition. If gen-
erating set use is under conditions which do not
conform to the reference conditions as stipulated
in ISO 8528-8 and if cooling of the engine or alter-
nator is impaired ,e.g. as a result of operation in
restricted areas, a reduction in power is necessary.
13. It is necessary reduction in power due to use in
higher temperatures, altitudes and humidity as be-
low conditions.
• Max Working Temperature: 40°C
• Max altitudes: 1000 m
• Max humidity: 90%
14. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect
15. Keep the generator free of oil, dirt and other im-
purities.
16. Please always place the appliance on even and
stable surfaces. Do not operate the generator on
forest ground. The generator radiates heat during
operation and cooling and can ignite combustible
materials!
17. Never operate the appliance inside buildings or
in an environment without proper ventilation, like
collieries, caves, excavations and bilges. Pay at-
tention to air flow and temperature.
18. Ensure that extension cords, power cords and
all electric components are in proper condition
Never operate electric tools with damaged or de-
fective cords.
19. Do not operate or store the appliance in wet or hu-
mid surroundings or on highly conductive surfaces
such as metal coatings or steel constructions.
20. Ensure the sound absorber and air filter work
properly. These parts serve as flame protection in
case of misfire.
21. Before connecting electric leads, the appliance
must reach its full speed. Disconnect leads before
switching off the motor.
22. To prevent injury by electric shock, ensure the fuel
tank is not completely empty while electric leads
are connected.
23. The load must not exceed the power marked on the
rating label of the generator. Overloading may re-
sult in damage to, or a shorter life of the appliance.
24. To avoid possible burn injuries, do not touch the
exhaust system or other parts of the motor or gen-
erator that become hot during operation. Pay at-
tention to the warnings on the generating set.
25. Do not connect the appliance to household outlets.
The generating set must not be connected to other
power sources, such as the power company sup-
ply mains. In special cases where stand-by con-
nection to existing electrical systems is intended,
it shall only be performed by a qualified electrician
who has to consider the differences between oper-
ating equipment using the public electrical supply
network and operating the generating set.
