• Do not climb on the generator - dents may cause overheating of the acoustic lining.
• Keep well clear of any moving parts on the generator at all times.
• Keep children and pets away from the generator and operating area.
• Test safety features often, emergency stop button and RCD (residual current device).
• Keep the generator canopy doors shut while running and locked if possible.
Do not remove covers and attempt to work on the generator while the engine is running.
Check the rating and electrical safety of the load before connecting the generator.
Equipment should never be connected that in total exceeds the specified rating of the generator.
Stephill generators must not be used in a flammable environment.
Operation of the machine in a saline environment will require additional corrosion protection.
The generator should always be operated on level ground and be able to bear its weight. Ensure the
generator canopy is not obstructed to allow cool air to enter the set and hot expelled air to escape.

Installation of the generator as a standby or secondary power source should only be undertaken by a fully
qualified electrician using the appropriate means of isolation from the mains supply. Installation must comply
with all applicable laws, electrical codes and wiring regulations.
A temperature range between -15
⁰C and +45⁰C are the normal limits of operation. Operating outside the
range will require additional modifications.
The standard reference condition for relative humidity is 30%. Above this value the rated power must be
reduced.
The standard reference condition for total barometric pressure is 1 bar. This corresponds to an altitude of
approximately 100m. Above 100m the rated power must be reduced.
• Do not cover the generator as this can obstruct air inlet and outlets on the canopy which can cause the
generator to overheat and cause permanent damage..
The electricity produced by an engine driven generator is very similar to mains AC electricity and should be
treated accordingly.
