• Use safety equipment. Wear protective gear such as an anti-dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, a helmet or
hearing protection.
Stay vigilant, watch what you are doing and show good sense when you use the generator. Do not use if you
•
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicines.
• Install the generator in a place that is well ventilated and make sure that there is at least 1.5 metres between
the generator and the walls of the building or other equipment. Do not place flammable liquids or gases near
the generator.
• Do not run the generator in an enclosed or badly-ventilated space. The exhaust gas from the motor contains
carbon monoxide which is toxic and may lead to a loss of consciousness or death.
• Run the generator in respect of the power indicated in the user's manual. Do not run the generator with an
overload or at excessive speed.
The silencer of the generator becomes extremely hot when the motor runs or even for a time after it has
•
stopped. Do not touch it as it will burn you.
• Do not transport or move the generator until it has cooled down.
Perform periodic maintenance and resolve problems that appear immediately. Do not run the generator
•
before correcting any fault detected.
• The generator uses a system of air-cooling, and it is necessary to clean its components regularly, including
the grilles, the cover of the fan and the fan itself so as to ensure cooling.
Keep the fuel filter clean, and change the oil of the motor regularly.
•
• Periodically check the installation of the connections and the tightness of the fixations, re-tightening them if
necessary.
Clean the components of the air filter periodically, and replace the air filter when necessary.
•
• Remove any electrical equipment that is plugged in before starting or stopping the generator.
• Before transporting the generator, you must empty the fuel tank.
• Maintenance and repair of the generator must be carried out by a qualified technician from an authorised
after-sales service centre.
Warning: when you start the generator with the cord, watch out for sudden changes in the rotation of the
motor!!! Risk of wounding!!! Never cover the generator when it is running. The cut-out mounted on the
generator has the aime of reducing the risk of electric shock. If it needs to be replaced with another cut-out,
the latter must correspond to the technical specifications of the generator. Due to important mechanical
constraints, it is necessary to use a flexible sheathed cable with a strong rubber protective layer
(conforming to IEC 245-4) or a similar cable. If using an electrical extension cable, the total length of the
