y
The overload and short circuit protection of the generator
depends on specially adapted circuit breakers. In the event
that it is necessary to replace a circuit breaker, it must be
replaced with a circuit breaker with the same parameters
and characteristics. Replacement may only be performed
by an authorised service centre for the HERON® brand.
y
Only connect electrical devices that are in perfect condi-
tion to the generator, that do not exhibit any functional
abnormalities. In the event that the electrical device is
exhibiting a fault (it is sparking, running slowly, does not
start up, is excessively noisy, emitting smoke...) then turn
it off immediately, disconnect it and remedy the defect.
y
The generator must not be operated in the rain, in wind,
in fog and at a high humidity, outside the temperature
range of -15 ° to + 40 °C. Attention, high humidity and
frost on the control panel may lead to a short circuit and
death to the operator by electrical shock. The genera-
tor must be located underneath a shelter during rain.
Constantly protect the generator during use and storage
against humidity, dirt, corrosive effects, direct sunlight
and temperatures above + 40°C and below -15° C.
y
The generator must not be operated in an environment
with an explosive or flammable atmosphere or in an
environment with a high risk of fire or explosion.
y
Never adjust the generator's parameters (e.g. adjusting
rpms, electronics, carburettor) and do not modify the
generator in any way, e.g. extend the exhaust pipe. All the
generator's parts may only be replaced with original parts
of the manufacturer, which are intended for the given gene-
rator type. If the generator is not working correctly, please
contact an authorised service centre for the HERON® brand.
y
According to hygiene regulations, the generator must
not be used during the night-time calm period, i.e. from
10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
XIII. Noise
•
WARNING
y
The provided numerical values of acoustic pressure and
power in the technical specifications constitute the level
of emitted noise that meets the directive 2000/14 ES,
however, they may not necessarily represent safe noise
levels in the workplace. Despite the fact that there is a
certain correlation between the values of emitted noise
and the noise exposure level, it is not possible to relia-
bly use them to determine whether other measures are
necessary or not. Factors that affect the current level of
noise exposure of workers include the properties of the
rooms in which they are working, other noise sources,
e.g. number of machines or other work process being
performed in the vicinity and also the duration of the
time for which the worker is exposed to the noise. Also,
the permitted level of exposure may differ from coun-
try to country. Therefore, after the installation of the
generator at a workplace, have an acoustic pressure and
power measurement taken by authorised personnel to
determine the noise load placed on the worker so that a
safe exposure time can be set.
XIV. Waste disposal
PACKAGING MATERIALS
y
Throw packaging materials into a container for the
respective sorted waste.
GENERATOR
y
The product contains electric/electronic com-
ponents. According to European Directive No.
(EU) 2012/19, electric and electronic devices
must not be thrown out with household
waste, and must be handed over for ecologi-
cal disposal at an electrical equipment collection facility.
You can find information about these collection points
at your local town council office. The generator must be
handed over for ecological disposal without operating
fluids (petrol, oil) and battery (applies for generator
models with an electric starter).
DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES
y
Do not throw an unusable battery of a gene-
rator with an electrical starter into communal
waste or the environment, but rather hand
it over to a collection facility for hazardous
waste (information available from your town
council). The battery contains lead which is
recyclable and together with other compounds is also
hazardous to the environment.
DISPOSAL OF UNUSABLE OPERATING FLUIDS
y
Unusable operating fluids must be handed over for eco-
logical disposal at a facility specialising in the collection
of hazardous substances in well enclosed and durable
containers.
