1.5.3 D
ANGER
OF
HARM
TO
HEARING
• Do not stand near the generator for long periods without protective earmuffs since hearing may be reduced.
Prolonged exposure to noise above 85 dB(A) may cause health disorders. It is in any case recommended
to use appropriate protection systems (e.g. headsets, earplugs, etc. ).
1.5.4 D
ANGER
OF
INTOXICATION
• The exhaust gases contain toxic carbon monoxide.
• Never use the generator in tunnels or in any place with poor ventilation. If indoor use is inevitable, it is essential
to provide for proper and efficient ventilation in order to prevent intoxication of persons or animals.
• Check that the engine exhaust is free and that the pipes allow evacuation of the exhaust fumes.
• Check that the exhaust gases are discharged to the outside in a safe position away from doors, windows and air
intakes.
1.5.5 D
ANGER
OF
FIRE
OR
EXPLOSION
• Always turn off the engine before refuelling.
• Do not smoke during refuelling.
• Refuelling must be carried out with extreme care, ensuring that fuel does not overflow from the engine tank
respecting the maximum level.
• In the event of fuel spillage from the tank, thoroughly dry and clean the parts involved.
• Check that there are no fuel leaks and that the pipes are undamaged.
• When refuelling has been completed, tightly close the fillercap.
• Keep flammable liquids, matches and other explosive and/or flammable products away from the generator, since
the temperature near the exhaust is high during operation.
• Never leave flammable liquids or cloths soaked in flammable liquids in proximity of electrical equipment (including
lamps) or parts of the electrical system.
• The batteries develop hydrogen, a highly explosive gas. It is recommended not to smoke nor cause sparks in the
vicinity, in particular during charging.
• Do not obstruct the cooling air inlets/outlets.
• In the event of fire, use a homologated fire extinguisher and never use water.
