2.5 General safety instructions

- Never operate the generator in closed rooms which
do not have sufficient ventilation. The engine pro-
duces carbon monoxide and other harmful gases
that are harmful to the health of the people who
breathe them. If you feel dizzy or have a fainting
spell, get out into the fresh air immediately. For this
reason, adequate ventilation must be ensured.
Combustion fumes must be led out of the engine
room or the working area of the personnel via pipes
and exhaust systems. It is recommended to install a
CO alarm device!
- Only operate the generator outdoors. DO NOT allow
exhaust gases to enter a closed area through
windows, doors, vents or other openings.
- Operate the generator only on horizontal surfaces to
ensure optimum flow of oil and fuel to the motor. If
operation on horizontal surfaces is not possible, the
user must install suitable mounting and levelling de-
vices to ensure safe stand the generator.
- Always wear firm and dry shoes while working on the
generator. Never work barefoot!
- Do not operate the generator if you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
- Keep children away from the running generator at
all times and in any case; note that the switched off
motor will remain hot for some time. At the exhaust,
the exhaust pipes and at the engine the increased
temperatures last the longest. Touching them can
cause severe burns.
- Do not carry out any checks or maintenance work
on the generator in operation; switch off the motor in
any case. NEVER touch blank wires or sockets.

- DO NOT operate the generator in the rain.
- Use an RCD in humid areas and areas containing
conductive material.
- Refueling with fuel and topping up oil must be done
with the engine switched off (5 minutes cooling
time). It must be noted that the engine will maintain
its high temperature for a period of time after it has
been switched off.
- Allow the machine to cool before touching it. A mini-
mum distance of 90 cm should be maintained on all
sides to ensure adequate cooling. Keep at least 1.5
m away from flammable materials.
- When unscrewing the tank cap, open it slowly to
slowly reduce any existing pressure.
- Keep fuel away from sparks, open fire, ignition fla-
mes, heat and other sources of ignition.
- The functions and circuits of the generator should be
known: Unexperienced persons should not be allo-
wed to use the generator.
