2.7.4 Connection and choice of cables
For all connections, use flexible, strong rubber-sheathed cables which comply with standard IEC 60245-4 or equivalent cables, and
ensure that these are kept in perfect condition. Only use one item of class I electrical equipment per socket and connect up
equipment using a cable equipped with a PE protective conductor (green/yellow); this protective conductor is not required for
class II equipment. Adhere to the cross sections and lengths recommended in this table during installation or when using electrical
extensions.

2.8 Risk of hearing loss
DANGER
RISK OF HEARING LOSS
Suitable hearing protection must be worn at all times when the unit is running.
2.9 Risks during handling operations, use and maintenance
For safety reasons, all operations must be carried out by staff with the necessary skills and using suitable equipment.
Maintenance must be carried out regularly and properly using only original parts. Personal protective equipment must be
used.
Safety guidelines for handling petroleum products (fuel, oil, coolant):
DANGER
The fluids used by the units are dangerous products. Respect the local regulations in force concerning
the handling of petroleum products.
RISK OF POISONING
Never inhale or ingest; avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin. Use personal protective
equipment when working on the unit (gloves, shoes, glasses, appropriate clothing). If petroleum
products are exposed to high temperatures for a period of several hours (containers or generating set
stored in a vehicle parked in the sun, for example), harmful vapors could be released causing a risk of
poisoning or discomfort.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Fill up with fluids when the unit is switched off and the engine cold. Smoking, using a naked flame,
producing sparks and making telephone calls are forbidden when filling with fluids. Always make sure
the cap is properly closed after filling. Clean any traces of fluid with a clean cloth and wait until the
vapors have dispersed before starting the unit.
Safety guidelines for handling batteries (if fitted):
DANGER
RISK OF POISONING OR EXPLOSION
Follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations. Only use insulated tools. Keep away from fire or
naked flames. Always ensure adequate ventilation during charging.
