Cleaning:
The generator must be thoroughly cleaned after being
used.
Clean the engine by hand (avoid introducing water into
the air filter and exhaust). Avoid wetting the control
units and other equipment/accessories that are difficult
to dry. Water stimulates corrosion and rust on metal
elements and causes damage to electrical equipment.
Do not use strong cleaning agents. These products can
damage plastics and metals and impair the safe
operation of the generator.
Maintenance work:
Only the maintenance work described in these
operating instructions may be carried out, all other
work must be performed by an official dealer.
If you lack the necessary knowledge and means, always
contact an official dealer.
Use only VITO authorized tools or attachable
accessories for this generator or technically identical
parts. Otherwise, injury or damage to the generator
may occur. If in doubt, you should contact an official
dealer.
For safety reasons, the fuel components (hoses, tap,
tank, tank cap and connections) should be checked
regularly to detect damage and leaks. If necessary, they
should be replaced by an official dealer.
Always keep warning and indication stickers clean and
legible.
Keep all nuts and screws screwed so that the generator
is in a safe working condition.
If you remove components or safety devices for
maintenance work, they must be replaced immediately
and correctly.
Storage in case of longer standstill periods
Allow the combustion engine to cool down before
placing the generator in a closed compartment. During
operation, the exhaust gets extremely hot and remains
so for a few minutes after switching off the engine.
Avoid touching the exhaust while it is hot.
Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside
a closed space. Petrol vapours that form can come into
contact with flames or sparks and ignite.
Store the generator in a dry place, with the tank empty
and the fuel reserve in a well closed and ventilated
compartment. Avoid areas with high humidity to avoid
the development of corrosion and rust.
If you wish to empty the tank, for example in a period
before winter, the fuel tank should only be emptied
outdoors.
Store the generator in an operational mode.
Make sure that the generator is protected against
misuse (e.g. by children).
Technical assistance
Your generator should only be serviced by the
manufacturer's internal service personnel, or other
qualified personnel, replacing any necessary parts with
original parts sourced directly from the manufacturer.

INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This generator has been factory tested and adjusted. If
the generator does not produce power at the correct
voltage, consult authorized service technicians.
▪
The rated power, is the power that the generator can
provide during continuous operation;
▪
The maximum power, is the power that the
generator can supply for a short period of time;
▪
Many electrical equipment require more power than
indicated in the technical specifications, during the
engines start-up or stop. When the equipment needs
this extra power, the generator provides the
necessary energy, for a short period of time.
Check the maximum power of the equipment before
plugging it to the generator. If the power is greater than
the generator's maximum power, do not connect it to
the generator.
