Use and Care Manual

English
t Operate the generator on a level surface. If the generator is tilted, fuel spillage may result.
t Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of all the controls. Never permit anyone
to operate the generator without proper instructions.
t The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or electrocution when misused;
do not operate with wet hands.
t Keep flammable materials away from the generator. Don’t use the generator at locations where the risk of
fire may be high.
t Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
t Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.
t Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circumstances.
t Do not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank cap when the engine is running.
t The generator operates best in temperatures between 23°F and 104°F with a relative humidity of 90% or
less.
t Before storing, allow the engine to cool for 30 minutes and drain fuel from the unit.
t Store the generator in a well-ventilated area with the fuel tank empty. Fuel should not be stored near the
generator.
t Before use, the generating set and its electrical equipment (including lines and plug connections) should be
checked to ensure that they are not defective.
t The generating set shall not be connected to other power sources, such as the power company supply mains.
t Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit breakers specially matched to the generating set.
If the circuit breakers require replacement, they should be replaced with a circuit breaker having identical ratings
and performances characteristics.
t Due to high mechanical stresses, only tough rubber-sheathed flexible cable (in accordance with IEC 60245-
4) or the equivalent should be used.
t When using extension lines or mobile distribution networks the resistance value shall not exceed 1,5 Ω.
For reference, the total length of lines for a cross section of 1,5 mm2 should not exceed 60 m; for a cross section of
2,5 mm2, this should not exceed 100 m.
t Ground terminal to earth securely before each start when grounding is required.
WARNING: Always conform to regulations of electrical safety applicable to the place where the
generating sets are used.
