Engine exhaust gases are toxic and may cause death. Do not operate the generator in unventilated rooms.
When using a generator in a ventilated room, take additional precautions against fire and explosions.
Before use, check the generator and its electrical equipment, including the power lines and plug
connections, to ensure they are not defective.
Do not connect the generator to other power sources, e.g., the power company supply mains. In special
cases, where stand-by connection to existing electrical systems is intended, this should ONLY be done by
a qualified electrician who has to consider the differences between operating equipment using the public
electrical network and operating the generating set.
Protection against electrical shocks depends on circuit breakers specially matched to this generating set.
If you need to replace the circuit breakers, they should only be replaced with circuit breakers that have
identical ratings and performance characteristics.
Due to the high mechanical stresses produced by this engine, only tough rubber-sheathed flexible cable
(in accordance with IEC 60245-4) or the equivalent should be used.
Always make sure the generator is properly grounded. If the generator is not grounded, you risk
electrocution. Always refer to all applicable local, state, and federal regulations regarding to grounding.
Always make sure to conform to electrical safety regulations applicable to the location where you are
using the generator.
Generators should only be loaded up to their rated power under the rated ambient conditions. If you
are using the generator under conditions which do not conform to the conditions as stipulated in ISO
8528-8:2016, 7.1, and if the cooling of the engine or alternator is impaired (for example, as a result of
being used in a restricted area), a reduction in power will be necessary. If the generator is being used in
higher temperatures, at a significant altitude, or in humid climates (not ideal), the power will need to be
reduced.
