•
Use automotive gasoline with a pump octane number of 86 or higher, or
a research octane number of 91 or higher. Unleaded gasoline is
preferred to minimize combustion chamber deposits.
•
It is allowed to use the generating set in the rain
(according to
EN60529-protection class IP23). This means that the generating set
can support water in the form of rain till max. 60° in respect of the
perpendicular line. Do not use the generating set in the snow. Only
use it in spaces where there is no explosion hazard.
•
The generator is a potential source of electrical shocks when
misused. Do not operate the generator with wet hands.
•
Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must
be made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all
applicable laws and electrical codes.
Never connect the generating set to the public mains or any other
electrical power source! Improper connections can allow electrical
current from the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such
back feed may electrocute utility company workers, and when utility
power is restored,
the generator may explode, burn
or cause fires in the building’s
electrical system
.
•
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a
while after stopping the engine.
Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is still hot.
Let the engine cool down before storing the generator indoors.
To prevent scalding, pay attention to the warning marks attached to
the generator.
•
Keep in mind the maximum weight a person is allowed to carry if you
move the generating set by hand.
•
Make sure the generator operates in a well-ventilated room. In case of
insufficient cooling and/or ventilation severe damage can occur.
Exhaust gases also contain poisonous carbon monoxide.
•
Never use the generator when the cover plates are removed from the
engine or alternator.
•
Do not wear loose clothes near the generator.
•
Let maintenance be carried out by trained technicians only. For example,
according to art. 233 of the Belgian AREI
–
General Regulation on
Electrical Installations - this means that maintenance can only be
carried out by “warned persons” (code BA4) or “authorised persons”
(code BA5).
If local rules differ, the most rigid of both rules should be followed.
•
Never work on the generator while it is still running.
•
Never connect appliances that need more power than the generator can
provide. This could seriously damage the generator.
•
Be very careful while using a welder on any type of generator. Welders
might damage the alternator. Always consult a EUROPOWER specialist
first to make sure that the power of the generating set matches the
requested power of the welder.
•
If the appliance you want to connect is of an electronic kind
(computer, radio, TV, plastic welder, …), always consult a EUROPOWER
specialist first. Such appliances might not work or even break down
in combination with some alternators. Alternators with a low harmonic
distortion are best suited for connection of electronic appliances.
