SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR GENERATORS
This generator is designed to produce an
alternating current.
1. The total length of all electric cables connected to
the generator must not exceed 150 m.
2. If several generators are used or if the mains is
also employed, the networks must not be
connected to each other.
3. Do not ground neutral conductor. For that reason,
do not use generator as feed point for construction
site distribution centres.
4. Equipment with protective conductor may be
connected. We recommend, however, to use
equipment with full protective insulation
whenever possible.
5. Repair and maintenance of generator's electric
parts by qualified electricians only.
Safety precautions during installation
1 The electrical connections must comply with the
local regulations.
2 Damaged cables and inadequately connections
may cause electric shocks. Replace damaged
cables and ensure that all electric connections are
correct.
Safety precautions during operation
1 Never operate the generator in excess of its limits
as indicated in the technical specifications.
2 Never operate the generator in a humid
atmosphere. Excessive moisture has a detrimental
impact on the generator insulation.
3 Never touch the power terminals during operation
of the machine.
4 Periodically check that:
- all guards are in place and properly fastened.
- all hoses, cables and pipes inside are in good
condition, secure and are not rubbing.
- there are no leaks.
- all connection elements are properly secured.
- all the wiring is secure and in good order.
5 If an abnormal situation arises, e.g. excessive
vibration, noise, odour etc., switch the circuit
breakers to position 0 and stop the engine. Correct
the fault before re-starting.
6 Check the electric cables regularly. If damaged
cables or hazardous conditions are observed,
switch the circuit breakers to position 0 and stop
the engine. Replace the damaged cables or
eliminate the hazardous
restarting.
7 Avoid overloading the generator. The generator is
provided with circuit breakers for overload
protection. When a circuit breaker has tripped,
reduce the load before re-starting.
8 Never connect the generator to an installation
which is also connected to the mains.
9 Before connecting a load, check to see whether
the frequency, voltage, and power comply with
the ratings of the generator.

Safety precautions during maintenance
Before clearing the generator for operation after
maintenance work or an overhaul, submit it to a test
run and check that the AC supply is correct and that
the control and shut-down devices function correctly.
