As exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon dioxide (CO2) and car-
bon monoxide (CO) gases which are dangerous for life, it is strictly
forbidden to install the generator in residential buildings, prem-
ises connected to residential buildings by a common ventilation
system, other rooms from which exhaust gases may enter living
premises.
ATTENTION – DANGER!
When installing the generator, pay attention to the capacity of
electrical appliances and their starting current, which may be sev-
eral times higher than the rated current. The generator cannot
run in overload conditions when starting consumers with an in-
rush current higher than the generator’s maximum output.
ATTENTION – DANGER!
Pay attention to the number of phases of the generator and the
electrical system. A three-phase generator is only suitable for
three-phase power consumers. Never connect a three-phase gen-
erator to a three-phase home network if there are no three-phase
power consumers

PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH
GASOLINE GENERATOR 1.2
Do not start the generator operation upon presence of electric load! Disconnect the load before you stop the engine.
Only unleaded gasoline is recommended for the generator. It is forbidden to use kerosene or other
fuel types. Before running the generator, it is necessary to define the place and means of its emergency stop. Do not
refuel the running generator.
Fuel contaminates the land and groundwater. Do not
allow the leaking gasoline from the tank!
ATTENTION – DANGER!
Using device for other purposes deprives the right for free warranty.
IMPORTANT!
Be careful. Do not operate the generator, if you are tired, under
the influence of drugs or alcohol. Inattention may cause a serious
injury.
ATTENTION – DANGER!
ELECTRICAL SAFETY 1.1
The generator produces electricity that may lead to an electric shock while neglecting compliance regulations. All
connecting the generator to the network must be made by certied electrician in accordance with all electrical rules
and regulations. Connect the generator to the protective ground before operation. Wires with damaged or spoiled
insulation should be replaced. You should also replace worn, damaged or rusty contacts.
The device generates electricity. Follow safety precautions to
avoid electric shock.
ATTENTION – DANGER!
The generator should be used as an IT or TN system based on the
application. Earthing and additional protective measures such as
insulation monitoring or protection against accidental contact
(residual current device) must be provided based on the applica-
tion and the system used.
IMPORTANT!
It is forbidden to connect to the generator devices which can
generate current pulses and direct energy towards the generator
(voltage stabilizers, devices with electronic brakes, on-grid and
hybrid inverters, etc.).
IMPORTANT!
The generator and power consumers form a closed system, with elements aecting each other. This system is physi-
cally dierent from the public network since it is signicantly aected by factors such as unbalanced phase load and
non-linear current consumption by power consumers that can cause damage to the generator and power consumers
connected to it.
