DANGER
The generator is a machine that, if used correctly,
provides a useful service; if, vice ver- sa, it is used
clumsily and superficially, it can be dangerous in
particular due to the fact that the generator is a
producer of electricity with all the annexes and
connected items.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE
AND EVEN DEATH.
Failure to comply with what is shown in Section
«2. Safety and Prevention» and any tampering of
the safety devices, relieve the Manufacturer from
any responsibility in case of accidents, damage or
malfunctions of the machine.

3.1 HANDLING OF THE GENERATOR

a plastic bubble wrap, fixed on a pallet with plastic

vehicles, or unloaded, using a normal forklift truck as
shown in Fig. 3.
DANGER
Handling operations (loading/unloading) can be very
dangerous if not carried out with the utmost care.
Therefore, before starting the unloading, remove
the unauthorized persons; clear and delimit the area
in which the operation takes place, and check the
integrity and suit- ability of the lifting and transport
means available. It must also be ensured that the
