General security instructions
The operator must know the principles of functioning and the
structure of the generator and the motor. He must know how to
stop the motor in case of urgency and how to manipulate the
controls.
Never let children use this device.
Never let people who do not know these instructions use this
device. Local regulations may impose restrictions on the age of
the user.
Please do not use this device when people, especially children,
or pets are nearby. Direct them away from the working area.
04

The operator or the user are responsible for possible accidents
or damage to other persons or to their property.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery as this can get caught in
the machinery as it runs.
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.
05

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
06

strong rubber protective layer (conforming to IEC 245-4) or a similar
cable. If using an electrical extension cable, the total length of the
extension must not exceed 60m when the section of the wire is 1.5mm2
and must not exceed 100m when the section of the wire is 2.5mm2.
Additional requirements for low-power generating sets for use by
laymen
Protect children by keeping them at a safe distance from the
generating set.
Fuel is combustible and easily ignited. Do not refuel during
operation. Do not refuel while smoking or near naked flames. Do
not spill fuel.
Some parts of the internal combustion engine are hot and may
cause burns. Pay attention to the warnings on the generating
set.
Engine exhaust gases are toxic. Do not operate the generating
set in unventilated rooms. When installed in ventilated rooms,
additional requirements for fire and explosion protection shall be
observed.
Before use, the generating set and its electrical equipment
(including lines and plug connections) should be checked to
ensure that they are not defective.
Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit breakers
specially matched to the generating set. If the circuit breakers
07

require replacement, they should be replaced with a circuit
breaker having identical ratings and performances
characteristics.
Due to high mechanical stresses, only tough rubber-sheathed
flexible cable (in accordance with IEC 60245-4) or the equivalent
should be used.
The user shall conform to regulations of electrical safety
applicable to the place where the generating sets are used.
The user must respect the requirements and precautions in the
case of resupply by generating sets of an installation, depending
on existing protective measures in this installation and
applicable regulations.
Generating sets should only be loaded up to their rated power
under the rated ambient conditions.
Prior to commencing maintenance work it shall be ensured that
untimely start-up is not possible.
Security measures when filling the fuel tank
The fuel is extremely flammable and poisonous.
This generator only uses petrol (gasoline); any other kind of fuel
will damage the motor.
Do not overfill the tank with petrol to avoid spilling. If you notice a
spill, it must be wiped up completely with a dry cloth before
starting the motor.
08

If you swallow fuel by mistake, if you inhale fuel vapours or if you
get drops of fuel in your eyes, see a doctor immediately. If a
certain quantity of fuel is spilt on your skin or clothing, wash or
change your clothes.
Always stop the motor of the generator when filling it with fuel.
Never fill the fuel tank while smoking or near a naked flame.
Make sure you don’t spill fuel on the motor and the exhaust grille
of the generator during filling with fuel.
Keep the fuel in an appropriate recipient and sheltered from any
sources of fire.
Carry out filling in a safe place, and slowly open the fuel cap to
release the pressure which has built up inside the tank. Wipe up
any drops of petrol that have spilled before starting the motor.
To prevent fire, move the generator at least 4 metres away from
the area for filling with fuel.
Make sure that the fuel cap is tightly closed before starting.
Do not keep petrol in the tank for a long time.
While using or transporting the generator, make sure you
keep the generator upright, otherwise the fuel may escape from
the carburettor or the fuel tank.
Electrical safety
Before each use ensure that the load to be connected does not
exceed the power of the current produced by the generator.
09

To avoid electric shock, you must follow the following
instructions:
Do not touch the generator with wet hands.
Do not run the generator under rain or snow.
Do not run the generator near water.
Connect the generator to earth. Use a sufficiently thick
conductor for the earth wire.
Do not operate the generator in parallel with another generator.
If using electrical extensions, make sure that they are sufficiently
thick to transport the current and that they are used correctly.
The connection of a generator used for auxiliary power to
the electrical installation of a building must be performed by a
qualified electrician, and in conformity to the provisions of the
applicable laws and norms in the field of electricity. Incorrect
connections will cause leakage of the current from the generator
into the lines of the public electricity company. Such leakage
could electrocute the workers of the public electricity company
working on the network or other persons in contact with the line
during a power cut. Also, when the public power supply is
re-established, the generator can explode, catch fire or generate
fires in the building’s electrical installation.
