possible circumstances which may lead to potential
risks in the effective conditions of use of the generator.
Any operations and/or procedures for maintenance not
expressly recommended or indicated in the user manuals
must always be notified to and approved by the
manufacturer.
In the event that a procedure not specifically
recommended needs to be applied, the user is
responsible for assuring that such procedure is safe and
does not cause harm to people.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage
to persons or things deriving from inobservance of the
safety regulations.
Carefully examine the safety warning plates on the
machine and respect the relevant instructions.

Do not permit incompetent persons or without
adequate training to use the generator.
-
Do not permit children or animals to approach the
generator when it is in operation.
-
Do not access the generator with wet hands,
since it is a potential source of electric shock if
improperly used.
- Any inspections of the generator must be carried
out with the engine off. Inspections with the
engine on are to be carried out by specialised
personnel only.

else not forming part of the system on or near the
engine.
Never leave inflammable liquids or cloths soaked in

For proper and safe installation of the generator operate
as follows:
•
Install the necessary protections for safety on the
complementary parts of the system.
•
Insulate all the connectors and stripped wires. Do
not leave the power terminal board uncovered.
•
Ensure that the electric power and utility connections
are carried out properly.
•
Check perfect functioning of the devices fitted to
stop the generator in case of a fault: low oil level.
•
Check that the engine exhaust is free and the
exhaust pipes clear.
•
Check that the exhaust gas is discharged to the
outside atmosphere in a safe position away from
doors, windows and air intakes.
•
Check that there are no fuel leaks and that the pipes
are undamaged.
