●
Clean the components of the air filter periodically, and replace the air filter when necessary.
●
Remove any electrical equipment that is plugged in before starting or stopping the generator.
●
Before transporting the generator, you must empty the fuel tank.
●
Maintenance and repair of the generator must be carried out by a qualified technician from an
authorized after-sales service centre.
WARNING:
when you start the generator with the cord, watch out for sudden changes in the rotation of the
motor!!! Risk of wounding!!! Never cover the generator when it is running. The cut-out mounted on
the generator has the aim of reducing the risk of electric shock. If it needs to be replaced with
another cut-out, the latter must correspond to the technical specifications of the generator. Due to
important mechanical constraints, it is necessary to use a flexible sheathed cable with a strong
rubber protective layer (conforming to IEC 245-4) or a similar cable. If using an electrical extension
cable, the total length of the extension must not exceed 60m when the section of the wire is 1.5mm
2
and must not exceed 100m when the section of the wire is 2.5mm
2
.
SECURITY MEASURES WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK
●
The fuel is extremely flammable and poisonous.
●
This generator only uses petrol (gasoline); any other kind of fuel will damage the motor.
●
Do not overfill the tank with petrol to avoid spilling. If you notice a spill, it must be wiped up
completely with a dry cloth before starting the motor.
●
If you swallow fuel by mistake, if you inhale fuel vapors or if you get drops of fuel in your eyes,
see a doctor immediately. If a certain quantity of fuel is split on your skin or clothing, wash or
change your clothes.
●
Always stop the motor of the generator when filling it with fuel.
●
Never fill the fuel tank while smoking or near a naked flame.
●
Make sure you don’t spill fuel on the motor and the exhaust grille of the generator during filling
with fuel.
●
Keep the fuel in an appropriate recipient and sheltered from any sources of fire.
●
Carry out filling in a safe place, and slowly open the fuel cap to release the pressure which has
built up inside the tank. Wipe up any drops of petrol that have spilled before starting the motor.
●
To prevent fire, move the generator at least 4 meters away from the area for filling with fuel.
●
Make sure that the fuel cap is tightly closed before starting.
●
Do not keep petrol in the tank for a long time.
●
While using or transporting the generator, make sure you keep the generator upright,
otherwise the fuel may escape from the carburettor or the fuel tank.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Before each use ensure that the load to be connected does not exceed the power of the current
produced by the generator.
To avoid electric shock, you must follow the following instructions:
●
Do not touch the generator with wet hands.
●
Do not run the generator under rain or snow.
●
Do not run the generator near water.
●
Connect the generator to earth. Use a sufficiently thick conductor for the earth wire.
●
Do not operate the generator in parallel with another generator.
●
If using electrical extensions, make sure that they are sufficiently thick to transport the current
and that they are used correctly.
