1 - SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
When used according to its instructions, this power generator
offers safe and reliable service.
Please read this instruction manual carefully before operating
the power generator, as incorrect use may result in serious
injury to people or damage to equipment.
BEFORE OPERATING
Anyone operating the generator must read and understand the
instructions contained in the manual and must know how to stop
the generator quickly in an emergency. The operator must also
know the operation of all the controls
To avoid accidents and damage to equipment, check periodically
that the fuel system does not leak, that the pipes are not damaged,
that the pipe clamps are not loose or missing or that the tank
and its cap are not damaged. Any damage must be repaired and
missing parts replaced before using the generator.
Do not start the engine while the dust cover is still on.
Ensure that the generator is grounded (Connected to Earth)
(
Fig. 1 ).
During operation and transport, place the generator on a firm level
surface and ensure that it is in a horizontal position, as a sloping
position could result in a fuel leak.
REFUELLING
To avoid fire, always switch off the engine while refuelling and
always clean any fuel which may have spilled over from the tank.
Never refuel while smoking or near a naked flame.
Make sure no fuel spills over the engine or over the exhaust when
these are hot.
In case of ingestion of fuel, inhalation of exhaust fumes, or contact
with eyes, seek immediate medical help. In case of contact with
skin or clothes, wash immediately with copious ammounts of
water and soap and change clothes.
DURING OPERATION
Keep children and animals away from operating area.
Keep the generator at least 1 metre away from any buildings or
other equipment in order to prevent the engine from overheating.
Keep the generator away from other electrical wires or cables (for
example: supply control unit).
When the machine is in use, ear protection should be worn.
The combustion of petrol generates carbon monoxide, a
colourless, odourless gas which is dangerous for the health. To
avoid the risk of poisoning, NEVER use the generator in confined
spaces. Ensure the generator is always used in well ventilated
areas!
If not used correctly, the generator may be a source of electric
shock. Never touch the generator or touch live electrical
equipment with wet hands. Never expose the generator to damp,
rain or snow.
To avoid the risk of fire, keep the generator’s exhaust pipe away
from materials which may ignite or explode.
During operation the exhaust heats up and after the engine has
been switched off it remains hot for a while. NEVER touch the
exhaust when hot.
CONNECTION
When the generator is in constant use, NEVER exceed the rated
output. Otherwise take into consideration the total output of the
equipment which is being powered.
NEVER exceed the rated output.
NEVER connect the generator to any electrical household
appliance, as this may damage both the generator and the
appliance
Extension leads, electric cables and all electrical equipment must
be in good condition. Never operate electrical equipment with
damaged or faulty wiring.
For the extension of electric wires, use SJ or SJO-type cables.
Maximum length allowed for any extension: 1.5 sq. mm. section
(maximum 60 metres); 2.5 sq. mm. (maximum 100 metres).
NOTE: Use a ground (Earthed) cable with sufficient capacity.
Ground cable: Ø 0.12mm (0.005 inches) /ampere (Example: 10
Ampere - Ø 1.2mm)
Before electric loads can be connected, the unit must reach
operating temperature and speed. Disconnect the loads before
switching off the engine.
To avoid electrical surges which may damage the equipment,
make sure the fuel does not run out when the electric loads are
connected.
To avoid the risk of electric shock and fire, never connect the
machine to a live circuit.
Never connect to another power source.
NEVER connect other cables in parallel to power-points, always
use a special plug connector; failure to do this could result in an
electric shock!
Avoid connecting the generator to a commercial power-point.
Avoid connecting the generator in parallel to any other generator.
Any emergency power connection to a building’s electric system
must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The connection must isolate the generator’s power from the power
for auxiliary services and must be in accordance with all the laws
in force. A wrong connection of the generator to an emergency
electric system of a building could cause a power return in the
lines of the auxiliary services. Such feedback could electrocute
power company workers or anyone who is in contact with the
lines during a power cut and the generator could explode, burn or
cause a fire once the auxiliari service power is restored.
BATTERIES
If the generator has batteries:
Never smoke when handling batteries.
Batteries produce flammable fumes which may explode if exposed
to sparks or naked flames.
When using batteries, always keep them in a well-aired room and
away from naked flames/sparks.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Before transporting the generator in any vehicle, or before storing
it for a long period of time, remove all fuel from the tank and the oil
from the crankcase (if the generator has one) to avoid any leak.
Keep the generator in a well-aired place.
