WARNING
When service has to be carried out while the
engine is running, be aware of moving parts.
If the W-GV4 Scalino is switched off during maintenance and/or
repair activities, it should be secured against unexpected and
unintentional switching on:
remove the AC supply;
remove the connection to the batteries;
be sure that third parties cannot reverse the
measures taken.
If maintenance and repairs are required, use original spare
parts only.
Always consult the manual before carrying out maintenance.
2.1.5
Electrical safety
Warning signs indicate parts which could be live.
Check all wiring at least once a year. Defects, such as
loose connections, burned cables etc. must be
repaired immediately.
Do not work on the electrical system if it is still
connected to a current source. Only allow changes in
your electrical system to be carried out by qualified
electricians.
Connection and protection must be done in
accordance with local standards.

Magnetism
WARNING!
The genverter incorporates powerful permanent
magnets. Cardiac patients, especially those living
with a pacemaker, should bear this in mind.
2.1.7
Operation
There are no external moving parts like fans and V-belts. The
hot parts of the engine are covered by the sound shield and
therefore the W-GV4 Scalino is very safe when the sound shield
is closed.
Nevertheless take note of the signs on the Genverter which
show symbols in a triangle indicating danger.
The Genverter should be operated by authorized
personnel only.
Be aware of hot parts and especially parts of the
exhaust system and the cooling system.
If the Genverter is unsafe, fit danger notices and
disconnect the battery positive (+) lead so that it
cannot be started until the condition is corrected.
Do not attempt to operate the Genverter with a
known unsafe condition. Disconnect the battery
positive (+) lead prior to attempting any repairs or
cleaning inside the enclosure.
Always consult the manual before carrying out
maintenance.
Do not change the settings without consulting the
manufacturer. Keep a record of setting changes in this
manual.
2.1.8
Fire and explosion
Fuels can be flammable. Proper handling limits the risk of fire
and explosion.

Never use the M-GV4 Piccolo in situations where
there is danger of gas or dust explosion or
potentially flammable products!
Avoid refilling the fuel tank while the engine is
running. When oil or fuel is leaking do not use the
GV4 Scalino.
