Additional requirements for low-power generating sets for use by
laymen
Protect children by keeping them at a safe distance from the generating
set.
Fuel is combustible and easily ignited. Do not refuel during operation. Do
not refuel while smoking or near naked flames. Do not spill fuel.
Some parts of the internal combustion engine are hot and may cause
burns. Pay attention to the warnings on the generating set.
Engine exhaust gases are toxic. Do not operate the generating set in
unventilated rooms. When installed in ventilated rooms, additional
requirements for fire and explosion protection shall be observed.
Before use, the generating set and its electrical equipment (including lines
and plug connections) should be checked to ensure that they are not
defective.
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.
Due to high mechanical stresses, only tough rubber-sheathed flexible
cable (in accordance with IEC 60245-4) or the equivalent should be used.
The user shall conform to regulations of electrical safety applicable to the
place where the generating sets are used.
The user must respect the requirements and precautions in the case of
resupply by generating sets of an installation, depending on existing
protective measures in this installation and applicable regulations.
Generating sets should only be loaded up to their rated power under the
rated ambient conditions.
Prior to commencing maintenance work, it shall be ensured that untimely
start-up is not possible.

Security measures when filling the fuel tank
The fuel is extremely flammable and poisonous.
This generator only uses petrol (gasoline); any other kind of fuel will
damage the motor.
Do not overfill the tank with petrol to avoid spilling. If you notice a
spill, it must be wiped up completely with a dry cloth before starting
the motor.
If you swallow fuel by mistake, if you inhale fuel vapors or if you get
drops of fuel in your eyes, see a doctor immediately. If a certain
quantity of fuel is spilt on your skin or clothing, wash or change your
clothes.
Always stop the motor of the generator when filling it with fuel.
Never fill the fuel tank while smoking or near a naked flame.
Make sure you don't spill fuel on the motor and the exhaust grille of
the generator during filling with fuel.
Keep the fuel in an appropriate container and sheltered from any
sources of fire.
Carry out filling in a safe place, and slowly open the fuel cap to
release the pressure which has built up inside the tank. Wipe up any
drops of petrol that have spilled before starting the motor.
To prevent fire, move the generator at least 4 meters away from
the area for filling with fuel.
Make sure that the fuel cap is tightly closed before starting.
Do not keep petrol in the tank for a long time.
While using or transporting the generator, make sure you
keep the generator upright, otherwise the fuel may escape from the
carburetor or the fuel tank.
Electrical safety
Before each use ensure that the load to be connected does not exceed
the power of the current produced by the generator.
