1.5.7 D
ANGER
CAUSED
BY
THE
ENGINE
STARTING
• Do not leave disassembled parts, tools or anything else not forming part of the system on or near the engine.
• Install the protections necessary for safety on the parts completing the system.
• Operate the generator on a flat surface as far as possible. For continuous operation, the maximum permitted engine
inclination is 20 degrees. Greater inclination of the generator might cause the fuel to leak out or cause problems with engine
oil pressure.
• To prevent the risk of fire and for proper ventilation, position the generator at least 1m (3 ft) from buildings or other equipment
during operation.
• Check the oil level by means of the dipstick.
• Check that all the electrical utilities are off so that the generator is not started on load.
• Check perfect functioning of the devices which stop the generator in the event of failure due to low oil level.
• Identify the position of the emergency stop buttons, switches and other emergency systems on the generator.
• Learn the special emergency procedures relative to the installation in question.
1.5.8 D
ANGER
OF
ELECTROMAGNETIC
RADIATION
• Do not allow access to persons wearing a pacemaker because of possible electromagnetic interference with the device.
1.5.9 D
ANGER
OF
ELECTROCUTION
• When using the generator always bear in mind that in wet or very humid places and in confined conduction spaces it is
obligatory to comply with Articles 313 and 318 of Presidential Decree No. 547 27/04/55, as well as Chap. 11 Section IV
of the CEI 64-8 regulation.
• Immediately change wet overalls.
• Insulate all the connectors and detached wires.
• Do not leave the power terminal board of the generator uncovered; check that the electrical power and auxiliary service
connections have been made properly.
• Do not power loads with a voltage different from that delivered by the generator
• Do not spray water directly onto the electrical parts
• Do not clean the internal electrical parts with compressed air, since short-circuits or other faults may occur.
Do not tamper with the active protections, thermal switches and differential magnetothermal switches.
• In the event of malfunctioning, do not remove the panel to attempt repairing it. Contact
ma
s
e
specialised personnel.
• Do not access the generator with wet hands, since it is a potential source of electric shock if improperly used.
• Take the necessary precautions to prevent the danger of electrocution; check that the earthing system has been installed
and constructed in accordance with regulations.
• For the safety of the users, the earth connection of the generator must always be carried out paying particular attention
to the cable cross-section used. For the connection of the earth cable use the dedicated terminal on the generator.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage caused by failure to earth the system.
1.5.10 D
ANGER
RESULTING
FROM
BAD
STORAGE
• Packed and unpacked generators must be stored in a cool and dry place and never exposed to bad weather.
• Avoid stacking packed generators to prevent them from falling causing damage to persons and/or things.
