3.1 General Precautions
The generator is fitted with a number of labels that alert the User to the safe operation and safety re-
quirements. A full explanation of these is contained here. If any of the labels are missing or unreadable
a duplicate should be obtained and fitted. All labels are quantity 1 unless otherwise indicated.
Label Location and Part No. Description
May be fitted near control panel
when supplied new.
Label Part No: 499-376/31
NO OIL IN ENGINE
This generator is occasionally
shipped without oil. Suitable oil
must be added before attempting
to start the generator.
This label should be removed
when oil is added.
On the service-side access door.
Label Part No: 499-376/10
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
DAILY
The oil level should be seen on
the oil dip stick as per the diagram
on the label.

3.2 Electrical Safety
In addition to the information given previously the generator should be installed, earthed and used with
reference to the following available from HMSO:-
I.E.E Regulations 17th Edition (BS 7671:2004)
Health and Safety Executive Publications GS27 Protection Against Electric Shock
Health and Safety Executive Publications GS24 Electricity On Construction Sites
Health and Safety Executive Publications PM53 Emergency Private Generation
Alternatively the HGI Technical Help Line would be pleased to advise on the best measures for your
particular application.
The generator has been designed, wherever possible and practical, to shed rainwater and
condensation, and is paint protected to minimise the effects of rust.
Consideration should be made to the safe operation of the generator to further protect it in
extreme environments.
We would NOT recommend operating hand held electrical equipment in the rain.
DO NOT use a pressure washer to clean the generator as high pressure water may enter the electrical
system

3.4 Hazards to Health
A list of the hazards that may affect health are included with safety precautions and first aid instructions
Material /
Location
Hazard First Aid Measures
Engine Oil When hot may burn the skin but not
expected to give rise to an acute hazard
under normal conditions of use. May
cause an allergic skin reaction in sensitive
individuals. Continuous skin exposure
may give rise to dermatitis.
Gloves, overalls and eye protection
should be worn when handling this
product.
Do not burn old oil as a method of
disposal as combustion is likely to give
rise to a complex mixture of airborne
solids, liquid particulates and gases
including carbon monoxide and
unidentified organic and inorganic
compounds.
Old engine oil has potential health
implications and should not come into
contact with the skin.
A funnel is supplied with each generator
to make topping up with oil easy and
clean.
Burns: Rinse with clean water, cover with
a sterile pad and obtain medical
assistance.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated
clothing and wash thoroughly with soap
and water. If persistent irritation occurs
obtain medical attention. If the material is
injected under high pressure into the body
obtain medical assistance immediately.
Inhalation: In the unlikely event of
inhalation of fumes if dizziness or nausea
occurs move the individual to fresh air. If
symptoms persist, obtain medical
attention. If difficulties are experienced
with breathing a qualified person should
administer oxygen. If breathing stops give
artificial respiration.
Eyes: In the unlikely event that the
material enters the eye flush with copious
quantities of clean water. If persistent
irritation occurs obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: In the unlikely event that
ingestion occurs, wash out the mouth with
water and seek medical attention. Do not
induce vomiting.
Diesel Fuel May cause skin irritation.
Gloves, overalls and eye protection
should be worn when handling this
product.
As for engine oil above.
Fibre Glass
Insulation
(exhaust
parts ).
The User will not normally come into
contact with this material but Service
Technicians may.
May cause skin and respiratory tract
irritation.
Gloves, overalls, dust mask and eye
protection should be worn when handling
this product.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated
clothing and wash thoroughly with soap
and water. If persistent irritation occurs
obtain medical attention.
Inhalation: In the unlikely event of
inhalation of dust or fibres if irritation of
the mouth and throat occurs rinse with
water. If persistent irritation occurs obtain
medical attention.
Eyes: In the unlikely event that the
material enters the eye flush with copious
quantities of clean water. If persistent
irritation occurs obtain medical attention.

Other
insulation,
gaskets and
seals.
No specific hazards under normal use
conditions.
DO NOT burn as a method of disposal as
combustion is likely to give rise to a
complex mixture of airborne solids, liquid
particulates and gases including carbon
monoxide and unidentified organic and
inorganic compounds which may be
hazardous to health.
n/a
Asbestos This generator is asbestos free. n/a
Battery Acid
Battery is
located in the
battery
compartment
at the front of
the
generator.
The User and Service Technicians will
not normally come into contact with acid
unless a battery has leaked for any
reason.
This is a concentrated sulphuric acid
solution and may cause skin burns.
Protective overalls, rubber gloves and
eye protection should be worn when
handling this product.
If spilt dilute and wash away with copious
quantities of water.
Skin Contact: Rinse skin and
contaminated clothing with copious
quantities of water. If persistent irritation
or blistering occurs obtain medical
attention. If the material is injected under
high pressure into the body obtain
medical assistance immediately.
Inhalation: In the unlikely event of
inhalation of fumes move the individual to
fresh air. Obtain medical attention
immediately. If difficulties are experienced
with breathing a qualified person should
administer oxygen. If breathing stops give
artificial respiration.
Eyes: In the unlikely event that the
material enters the eye flush with copious
quantities of clean water for at least 15
minutes. Place a sterile pad over the eye
and seek medical attention immediately in
all cases.
Ingestion: In the unlikely event that
ingestion occurs, wash out the mouth with
water. Do not induce vomiting. If the
patient is conscious give them water or
milk to drink. Obtain medical attention
immediately.
Exhaust
Fumes
Exhaust fumes are very hot and contain
carbon monoxide which can cause
unconsciousness and death in humans
and animals. It is odourless and tasteless
but diesel exhaust fumes contain other
chemicals and soot which will irritate the
eyes and breathing and will usually alert
the user to the presence of fumes.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning
are dizziness, nausea, fatigue and
vertigo.
Skin Contact: Rinse skin with water. If
persistent irritation or blistering occurs
obtain medical attention
Inhalation: In the event of inhalation of
fumes move the individual to fresh air. If
difficulties are experienced with breathing
a qualified person should administer
oxygen. If breathing stops give artificial
respiration. Obtain medical attention in all
cases.
Eyes: In the unlikely event that the fumes
enter the eye flush with copious quantities
of clean water for at least 15 minutes.
Place a sterile pad over the eye and seek
medical attention immediately in all cases.
