  • Children must be protected by ensuring that they stay a safe distance away from the generator.
  • Fuel is combustible and highly flammable. Do fuel the unit during operation. Do not fuel the unit when someone is smoking or near open flames. Do not spill any fuel.
  • Some parts of the reciprocating internal combustion engine are hot and may cause burns. The warnings on the power generator must be observed.


Danger of poisoning
Exhaust gases, fuel and lubricants are poisonous, exhaust gases may not be inhaled.
warningATTENTION
Risk of fire
Fuel and fuel vapours are highly flammable or explosive.

  • Engine exhaust gases are toxic. The power generator must not be operated in unventilated rooms. If the power generator is to be operated in well-ventilated rooms, the exhaust gases must be discharged directly outside via an exhaust gas hose. Additional requirements for protection against fire and explosion must also be observed. Toxic exhaust gases can also escape when operating an exhaust hose. Because of the risk of fire, the exhaust hose must never be directed at flammable materials.
  • Power generating units should only be used up to their rated power under the rated ambient conditions. If the power generating unit is used in conditions that do not comply with the reference conditions according to ISO 8528-8:2016, 7.1, and if the cooling of the engine or generator is impaired, e.g. as a result of operation in restricted areas, a reduction in power is required.
  • It is prohibited to make any modifications to the power generator.
  • The manufacturer's preset speed must not be changed. Power generator or connected devices may be damaged.
  • Never operate the power generator in rooms with highly flammable substances.

warningATTENTION
Hot surfaces!

of burns, do not touch exhaust system and drive unit.
warningATTENTION
Wear hearing protection!
Use suitable hearing protection when you are near the device.

  • Do not touch any mechanically moving or hot parts. Do not remove any protective covers.
  • Only original parts may be used for maintenance and accessories.
  • Repair and adjustment work may only be carried out by authorised specialist personnel.
  • Protect yourself from electrical hazards.

  • Place the power generator at least 1 m away from walls or connected devices.
  • Values specified in the technical data under sound power level (LwA) and sound pressure level (LpA) represent emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. Since there is a correlation between emission and exposure levels, it cannot be reliably used to determine any additional precautionary measures that may be required. Factors influencing the current exposure level of the worker include the characteristics of the workspace, other noise sources, airborne noise, etc., such as the number of machines and other adjacent processes and the length of time an operator is exposed to the noise. The permitted exposure level may also vary from country to country. Nevertheless, this information will enable the operator of the machine to make a better assessment of the risks and hazards. If necessary, acoustical measurements should be taken after installation to determine the sound pressure level.
  • Observe the electrical safety regulations applicable to the place where the power generator is used.

Electrical safety

  • Prior to use, the generator and its electrical equipment (including lines and plug connectors) should be checked to ensure that there are no defects.
  • The power generating unit must not be connected to another power source such as the power supply of energy supply companies. In special cases where a reserve connection to existing electrical systems is provided, this must only be carried out by a qualified electrician who will take into account the differences between the operated equipment using the public mains and operation of the power generating unit. According to this part of ISO 8528, the differences in the operating manual must be specified.
  • Protection against electric shocks depends on the circuit breakers which are matched precisely to the power generating unit. If a circuit breaker must be replaced, this should be done using a circuit breaker with the same rating and performance characteristics.
  • Due to high mechanical loads, only durable rubber hose lines (per IEC 60245-4) or equivalent equipment should be used.
  • If extension leads or mobile distribution networks are used, the resistance value must not exceed 1.5 Ω. As a guideline value, the total length of lines for a crosssection of 1.5 mm² should not exceed 60 m, and for a cross-section of 2.5 mm², 100 m should not be exceeded.


Comply with the electrical safety regulations applicable to the place where the power generators are used.

Consider the requirements and precautionary measures in case of re-supply of a system by power generators depending on the protective measures of this system and the applicable directives.
