A few words about safety
Your safety and the safety of others are very important
and using this generator safely is an important
responsibility.
HGI have designed this generator to give safe and
dependable service if operated in accordance to
these instructions. Please ensure that you read this
owner’s manual and understand the functionality of
the generator before using. You can help prevent
accidents and harm to yourself and nearby personnel
by being familiar with the controls, and by observing
safe operating procedures.
The warnings and safety instructions appearing in this
guide are not meant to cover every eventuality and
hazards associated with operating or maintaining a
generator. You must use your own good judgement,
care and caution.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to
alert you to potential hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible
injury or death.
here are four types of safety alert messages used in
this manual:
DANGER
Danger refers to immediate hazards which WILL
result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING
Warning refers to a hazard or unsafe method or
practice which CAN result in severe personal injury
or possible death.
CAUTION
Caution refers to a hazard or unsafe method or
practice which CAN result in personal injury.
NOTICE
Notice refers to a method or practice which can
result in product damage, or to draw attention to
additional information or explanations.
Operator Responsibility
• Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of
emergency.
• Understand the use of all generator controls,
output sockets, and connections.
• Be sure that anyone who operates the generator
receives proper instruction.
If you have any doubts about the safe operation of
this equipment, please contact HGI or a competent
operator or qualified technician.
Precautions
The generator can constitute a hazard to users,
nearby personnel and property unless the following
precautions are observed during operation:
• Ensure that you know how to stop the engine in
an emergency.
• Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can kill.
• Ensure that the area surrounding the machine
has no restrictions that would prevent an ad-
equate flow of clean, ambient air.
• Fuel is highly flammable, when refuelling:
• Do not run the engine.
• Do not smoke.
• Avoid overfilling the fuel tank.
• Wipe up any fuel spilt on the machine and
move the equipment away from the area where
fuel has been spilt.
• Parts of the engine, and particularly the exhaust
system will get very hot during use, and will
remain hot for some time after the generator has
stopped.
• Do not use the equipment with loose or missing
components or guards.
• Additional care should be applied if using the
generator in damp or wet conditions.
• Regularly inspect the condition of trailing cables
and integrity of connectors. Only use correctly
rated cable and standard plugs of suitable
capacity for the application.
• During servicing, follow HSE recommendations
regarding the handling and disposal of
contaminated oil products.

LOW LOAD RUNNING:
Operating the generator at low load
levels for extended periods can result
in high levels of carbon build up in the
engine and exhaust system which can
lead to excessive smoking, reduced
efficiency and overheating.
If the generator is not required switch it
off and avoid running with light or no load
wherever possible. Also see Maintenance
Section.
Pt No 499-945-011
On side panel:
ENSURE Generator IS AT LEAST 1
METRE AWAY FROM BUILDINGS,
VEHICLES etc. WHEN IN USE.
This is to ensure a free flow of cooling
air to the generator and that the exhaust
from the generator does not affect other
items.

KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIAL AWAY
FROM THE GENERATOR
The exhaust and some surfaces are hot
and flammable material should not be
allowed near the generator.

On side panel:
OPERATE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED
AREAS. EXHAUST FUMES CAN KILL.
Generally the generator will be installed
outside. If the generator is to be installed
inside a building please refer to our
separate Installation Guide
An exhaust extension is normally
supplied with each generator and
should be used to duct the exhasut gas
straight outside. Sufficient air grilles for
ventilation should be provided. For such
applications consult the Technical Help
Line.

DO NOT ADJUST THE SPEED OF THE
ENGINE UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN
TRAINED TO DO SO
If the generator is not producing enough
power for the application or you suspect
a problem do not adjust the engine
speed. This may damage the engine,
alternator and any power equipment
plugged into the generator.

DO NOT OPERATE WITH ANY
COVERS OPEN
If covers are open (or missing) the
generator will exceed the European
Noise Regulations and the cooling of the
engine and alternator will be affected
which could cause damage to them.

On side panel:
ONLY OPERATE ON A LEVEL
SURFACE
Generally the generator will only be
used on a level surface. It can be
used on small inclines as given in the
Specification as given previously but
additional precautions may be needed to
stop it moving due to vibration.

If the generator is to be used for a fixed
installation or installed on the same site
for a long period it should be installed by
a competent person. The User should be
shown where the TEST button is located
and shown how to use it. An earth spike
kit is available as an optional extra.

While checking the oil level or doing any
type of maintenance on this generator it
should be made safe so it cannot start
automatically by removing the control fuse
or using the Emergency Stop button.
