2.1 Warning signs
Warnings shown on the machine should be observed at all times. The warning signs
should be checked for legibility and any that have become damaged should be replaced.
The following are shown on the generator:
2.2 Safety hazards
Do not climb on the generator, as dents may cause overheating of the acoustic lining. It is
important to keep the generator clean and well serviced, in particular keep all air vents /
louvers clear of debris to prevent poor performance or possible overheating and
permanent damage to the generator.
Keep well clear of moving parts on the generator at all times.
Children and pets must be kept clear of the operating area.
3 Potential Hazards
3.1 Auxiliary power
The electricity produced by an engine driven generator is very similar to mains electricity
and should be treated accordingly.
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.
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 and electrical codes.
3.2 Operating Environment
The generator should always be operated on level ground.
3.3 Temperature Range
A temperature range between -15˚C and +45˚C are the normal limits of operation.
Operating outside the range will require additional modifications.
3.4 Reference Relative Humidity
The standard reference condition for relative humidity is 30%. Above this value the rated
power must be reduced.
