1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a mobile electric power source. The Wacker Neuson Mobile
Generator consists of a trailer-mounted cabinet containing an electric alternator, a
fuel tank, and a diesel engine. A control panel, receptacles, and connection lugs
are provided on the side of the cabinet. As the engine runs, the generator converts
mechanical energy into electric power. The operator connects loads to the electric
power receptacles and connection lugs.
This machine is intended for the purpose of supplying electrical power to
connected loads. Refer to the product specifications for the output voltage and
frequency of this generator, and for the maximum output power limit of this
generator.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the
machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons in the area. Machine
damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
Connecting a load that has voltage and frequency requirements that are
incompatible with the generator output
Overloading the generator with a load that draws excessive power during either
continuous running or start-up
Operating the generator in a manner that is inconsistent with all federal, state
and local codes and regulations
Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
Using the machine to tow other machines
Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
Operating machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the
machine and in the Operator’s Manual

They are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:
Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine
Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques
Fuel and its fumes
Electric shock and arc flash
Personal injury from improper lifting the trailer tongue
Typical hazards related to towing a trailer on roads and highways
To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the
safety information presented in this manual before operating the machine.
