NOTICE
This generator is NOT fully water proof and
neither the generator, nor any electrical equipment
should be left out side indenitely and operated in
prolonged and heavy rain or snow. The generator
is suitable to be left outside in light rain. We would
NOT recommend operating hand held electrical
equipment in light rain or snow.
DO NOT use a pressure washer to clean the
generator as high pressure water may enter the
electrical system.
Lifting and Moving
In addition to the information given previously the
following apply:-
Manual Lifting
Manual handling operations should be planned and
under taken after considering:-
• Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992:
Guidance on Regulations L23: HSE Publications
1998
• Manual Handling Assessment Charts: HSE Publi-
cations 08/03
For the HRD060D generator, manual lifting (even with
four people) cannot be recommended as a formal risk
assessment would show it to be a high risk activity.
Manual Moving by Pushing Using the Handles and
Wheels
The generator has been designed to be pushed on an
occasional basis over a short distance by a t person
with no relevant health problems over a suitable dry
surface. As such this activity would represent a low
to medium risk. A specic risk analysis should be
conducted for the particular set of circumstances.
For smooth surfaces like concrete oors generators
with solid tyres can be used. For rough surfaces only
those generators tted with pneumatic tyres should be
pushed.
Generators should not be pushed up or down steep;
ramps, inclines or loaded/unloaded from vehicles
using planks or similar temporary structures. Extra
care should be taken in the wet. The bar on the front
of the generator can be used by a second person to
guide or help the generator wheels to pass over a
