We would like to congratulate you on your excellent choice. Your new appliance, pro-
duced in compliance with high quality standards, will guarantee you high performance
and safety over time.
WARNING! The generator engine works exclusively with a mix of oil and petrol
with 2% oil. If this mixture is not used the engine will cause irreparable damage
with immediate loss of the warranty.
IMPORTANT! before using the machine, in order to ensure that handling, initial
start-up, starting, use, stopping, and maintenance are carried out properly, read the
instructions below that refer to the drawings and technical data contained on the
enclosed sheet, and apply them carefully. before using the appliance, familiarise
yourself with the controls and correct use of the machine, making sure that you
know how to stop it in the event of an emergency. Incorrect use of the machine
could result in serious injury or death and damage to property. Always consider
your safety and the safety of others and act accordingly.
These instructions and the enclosed documentation are an integral part of the
machine and must accompany it in the case of repair or resale. Keep these in-
structions and the enclosed sheet in a safe place, so that you can consult them in
case of need enclosed sheet, containing the machine’s serial number label and
technical data, is also a guarantee document.
These instructions refer to a machine that is produced in several models in various
configurations: apply the information related to your model.
The documentation does not include the list of spare parts since the authorised
assistance centres already have one.
WARNING! The current generator or generating set is exclusively made to produce
electricity for use by compatible electrical appliances, lighting, tools and electric motors.
Any use other than that indicated in these instructions may damage the machine
and constitute a serious risk to both people and property.

KEY TO MARKS AND SYMbOLS (FIG. b)
1. Warning! Carefully read the instructions.
2. Warning! Always turn off the motor and wait for it to stop before refuelling or
maintenance.
3. Warning! The motor gives off a poisonous, odourless and colourless gas: inhalation
may cause nausea, fainting and death. Maintain a safe distance.
4. Prohibited! Do not operate the machine indoors. The motor gives off a poisonous,
odourless and colourless gas: inhalation may cause nausea, fainting and death.
5. Warning! Danger of hot surfaces. Some of the outer surfaces on the machine can
reach high temperatures. Some surfaces can remain hot after the motor is turned
off. Maintain a safe distance.
6. Warning! Risk of electric shock. Read the warnings.
7. Prohibited! Do not connect the machine or supply energy to a fixed domestic or
building power supply already connected to a fixed power supply line.
8. Warning! Always connect the generator to an earth rod. Danger of electric shock.
9. WARNING! The generator engine works exclusively with a mix of oil and petrol with
2% oil. If this mixture is not used the engine will cause irreparable damage with
immediate loss of the warranty.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The internal combustion engine (2-stroke) transmits rotation by means of mechanical
coupling with the alternator. This generates a certain voltage at its terminals and
therefore the sockets.
The electricity produced and its stability depends on the motor’s power and regularity
of operation.
This machine’s standard system must consist of: generator, power supply line, earth
line, electric load.
GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
1) RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
WARNING! Risk of fire and explosion! Always switch the engine off before refil-
ling. The fuel and its fumes are highly inflammable. Do not pour the fuel onto hot
surfaces.Work in a well ventilated area, do not smoke and keep away from naked
flames and incandescent objects. Wear safety goggles and fire resistant gloves.
Do not swallow, do not inhale the fumes given off by the fuel and keep it out of the
reach of children. Avoid contact with skin. In the event of contact with the eyes,
rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
WARNING! Do not use the machine in areas with a risk of explosion and/or fire,
in indoor areas or in the presence of inflammable and/or explosive liquids, gases,
powders, vapours, acids or elements. Do not use the machine in the presence of
incendiary sources such as naked flames, cigarettes, sparks, etc.
2) EXHAUST GAS: RISK OF POISONING
WARNING! Risk of poisoning. The motor gives off poisonous, odourless and co-
lourless gas containing carbon monoxide: inhalation may cause nausea, fainting
and death.
WARNING! Do not operate the machine in indoor or poorly ventilated environments.
Seek immediate medical attention in the event of inhalation.
3) HOT SURFACES: RISK OF BURNS
WARNING! Risk of burns. During use, some external surfaces of the machine may
reach high temperatures, and may remain hot for several hours after stopping the
machine. Pay particular attention to the exhaust system and the hot parts of the
motor, such as the cylinder head.
4) RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK AND ELECTROCUTION
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution. Electricity is potentially dange-
rous and, if not used properly, produces electric shocks and electrocution, causing
serious injury or death, fires and damage to electrical appliances.
Connect the machine to an earth rod.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution. Keep children, unauthorised
people and animals away from the generator.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution. Connect electrical equipment
(including plugs and extension cables) that are in good condition to the generator.
Always check that the equipment’s voltage corresponds to the one supplied by the
generator. If an extension cable is used, use a rubber insulated cable (conforming
with IEC 245-4).
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution. Connecting the machine and
supplying energy to a fixed power supply of a building already connected to a
power supply line is prohibited and dangerous. Only a qualified electrician is
allowed to carry out this type of connection, in accordance with current laws and
electrical norms. Incorrect connection can cause the electricity supplied by the
generator to return into the public supply and therefore cause electric discharges
to people working on the system. This type of connection can cause a serious risk
of electrocution and death and can also cause the machine to catch on fire or
explode as well as set fire to the building’s fixed power supply.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution. The generator is potentially
dangerous if used incorrectly. Do not touch it with wet hands or use it in damp
environments, in the rain, snow or mist.
Connect the generator to an earth rod.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution. Keep the extension cables,
power supply cables, and the connected appliances away from the machine’s hot
parts. Risk of damage.
WARNING! Check the power supply cable of your appliance. The power supply cable
and extension cable (where applicable) must be checked periodically and must be
checked for signs of damage and wear every time it is used.
If it is not found to be in good condition it must be disconnected immediately and
the appliance must not be used until it has been repaired.
WARNING! Keep the power supply cable of your appliance in a safe position. Keep
the power supply cable and extension cable (where applicable) away from the
generator, damp, wet, or oily surfaces, or surfaces with sharp edges, heat sources,
fuel and transit areas for vehicles or pedestrians.
5) GENERAL RISKS
WARNING! Risk of suffocation. The nylon bags of the packaging can cause suffo-
cation if placed on the head and must be kept out of the reach of children. If they
cannot be reused they must be cut up and thrown in the garbage.
WARNING! This machine must not be used by children or any persons not fully
aware of the instructions for use contained in this manual.
WARNING! The operator is responsible for other people as far as accidents or
damage caused by use of the machine is concerned. The operator is responsible
