INTRODUCTION (2.1):
Thank you for purchasing one of our generators. We would like to draw your attention to a few points concerning this manual:
• This manual gives useful indications for the correct use and maintenance of the generator set to which it refers: it is therefore indispen-
sable to pay the fullest attention to all those paragraphs that illustrate the simplest and safest way of using the generator.
• This manual is to be considered as an integral part of the generator and must be included at the moment of purchase.
• This publication may not be reproduced, either totally or in part, without written authorization from the makers.
• All information shown hereafter is based on the data available at the moment of printing; the makers reserve the right to make modi-
fi cations to their products at any time, without warning and without incurring sanctions. You are therefore advised to check frequently
for any updates.
KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
USE OF THE GENERATOR
THIS GENERATING PLANT IS DESIGNED TO SUPPLY
THREE PHASE AND/OR SINGLE PHASE ELECTRICAL POWER.
NO OTHER APPLIANCES OTHER THAN THOSE INDICATED
SHOULD BE USED.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (4.1):
ATTENTION: if the following instructions are not fully observed, injury to persons, animals and/or things could result, and the
Manufacturer does not accept responsibility for improper use.
• Do not run the generator in closed work areas: the engine produces carbon monoxide and other harmful gases detrimental to the health
of persons who work with it; make sure that the generator is well ventilated.
• The generator must only be run on a horizontal surface to guarantee optimum oil and fuel fl ow to the engine; if it is not possible to run
it on a horizontal surface, the user must provide the necessary means to anchor and align the engine to ensure the machine's stability.
• If the generator is to be used during rain or snow, make sure that it is well and fi rmly sheltered.
• Always keep children away from the generator when in use; remember that, even after being shut off, the engine will remain at a high
temperature for about 1 hour. In the areas where the exhaust is located, the fl exible tube and the engine are subject to high temperatures
and could possibly cause severe burns if touched.
• Maintenance and servicing of the equipment must not take place while the generator is operating; always switch off the engine.
• Refuelling and topping up with oil must be done when the engine is not running; remember that the engine remains hot for about 1
hour after it is turned off.
• It is vital to be aware of the functions and controls of the generator: do not allow any unauthorized persons to use the machine.
• Improper use of the machine should be avoided: such as, using the engine to heat the surrounding atmosphere etc.
• Do not allow any unauthorized persons to use the machine; to ensure the generator cannot operate, block the system (remove the
starter key, close and lock the door of the switchboard).
• The machine does not need to be in a specially lighted area. However provide adequate lighting to comply with applicable working
norms.
• Do not remove the protection devices and do not use the machine without adequate protection (sides and casing) or the use may be
at risk.
• Should it be necessary to remove the protection devices (for maintenance and servicing), this operation should be done with the ge-
nerator switched off and only by specialized persons.
• Do not use the machine in an explosive atmosphere.
• In the case of an emergency do not use water to extinguish a fi re, use only the correct type of equipment (a powder loaded fi re extin-
guisher, etc.).
• Whenever it is necessary to work in close proximity to the machine, sound muffl er should be used (head muffs, ear plugs, etc.).
ATTENTION: Avoid any direct bodily contact with fuel, motor oil or battery acid. In case of contact with the skin wash with water
and soap and rinse thoroughly; do not use organic solvents. In case of contact with the eyes, wash with water and soap and
rinse thoroughly. In case of inhalation and swallowing, consult a medical practitioner.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS (5.1):
• Make sure these operations are carried out with the generator placed on a horizontal and stable surface.
• Oil is the most important element infl uencing the effi ciency and long life of the engine. In the use and maintenance manual are shown
details of the type of oil to use and the correct oil level for this generator.
ATTENTION: Running the engine with insuffi cient oil could cause serious damage.
• Check the fuel level: use clean fuel free of water.
ATTENTION: Fuel is highly infl ammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine switched off. During refueling do not smoke and do not approach the equipment
with an open fl ame.
Do not overfi ll the tank (do not fi ll up to the cap), because vibration from the running engine could cause fuel spillage. Pay attention not
to spill fuel while fi lling the tank. Ensure that the cap is correctly screwed down after fi lling. If fuel has been spilt, ensure that the area
is completely dry before switching on the engine. Avoid any bodily contact with the fuel and do not inhale the vapour. It is important to
