SAFETY WARNINGS
The operator must know the principles of functioning and the structure of the generator
and the motor. He must know how to stop the motor in case of urgency and how to
manipulate the controls.
Never let children use this device.
Never let people who do not know these instructions use this device. Local regulations
may impose restrictions on the age of the user.
Please do not use this device when people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
Direct them away from the working area.
The operator or the user are responsible for possible accidents or damage to other
persons or to their property.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery as this can get caught in the machinery as it runs.
Use safety equipment. Wear protective gear such as an anti-dust mask, non-slip safety
shoes, helmet or hearing protection.
Stay vigilant, watch what you are doing and show good sense when you use the
generator. Do not use if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medicines.
Install the generator in a place that is well ventilated and make sure that there is at least
1.5 meters between the generator and the walls of the building or other equipment. Do
not place flammable liquids or gases near the generator.
Do not run the generator in an enclosed or badly-ventilated space. The exhaust gas
from the motor contains carbon monoxide which is toxic and may lead to a loss of
consciousness or death.
Run the generator in respect of the power indicated in the user’s manual. Do not run the
generator with an overload or at excessive speed.
The silencer of the generator becomes extremely hot when the motor runs or even for a
time after it has stopped. Do not touch it as it will burn you.
Do not transport or move the generator until it has cooled down.
Perform periodic maintenance and resolve problems that appear immediately. Do not
run the generator before correcting any fault detected.
The generator uses a system of air-cooling, and it is necessary to clean its components
regularly, including the grilles, the cover of the fan and the fan itself so as to ensure
cooling.
Keep the fuel filter clean, and change the oil of the motor regularly.
Periodically check the installation of the connections and the tightness of the fixations,
re-tightening them if necessary.
