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.
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 authorised 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 aime 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
