2. SAFETY INFORMATION
2.1. WORKING AREA
- As exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide
(CO) gases which are dangerous for life, it is strictly forbidden to install the
generator in residential buildings, premises connected to residential buildings
by a common ventilation system, other rooms from which exhaust gases may
enter living premises.
- Do not use generator in the rain, snow and high humidity conditions, do not
touch the generator with wet hands. It’s prohibited to leave it in direct sunlight
in summer for a long time. It is recommended to store and use the generatir
under a canopy or in a well ventilated area.

- Please set the generator on a at hard horizontal surface. To reduce vibration
during operation and to avoid damage to the surface, where the generator is
installed, it is equipped with dampers.
- Please don’t use the generator near ammable gases, liquids or dust. When
using the generator exhaust system gets very hot. This may cause re or
explosion of these materials.
- Be sure to follow cleanliness and good lighting in the work area. Clutter and
poor lighting may cause an injury.
- Do not let the presence of unauthorized persons, children or animals when
working with generator. If necessary, make sure to fencing the working area.
- Please use safety shoes and protective gloves when working with generator.
2.2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
- The generator produces electricity that may lead to an electric shock while
neglecting compliance regulations.
- In the high humidity level conditions generator exploit is prohibited. Keep the
generator in a dry place only.
- Avoid direct contact with grounded surfaces (pipes, radiators, etc.).
- Do not allow moisture in the generator. The water inside the device increases
the risk of an electric shock.
- Be careful when working with power cables. Immediately replace it in case of
damage, as damaged wire increases the risk of electric shock.
- 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.
- Do not connect or disconnect a generator to electricity consumers, which are
placed in water on a wet or damp soil.
- Do not touch parts of the generator under voltage.
- Connect the generator to those customers only which meet the electrical
characteristics and the rated power of the generator.
- Store all electrical equipment dry and clean. Wires with damaged or spoiled
insulation should be replaced. You should also replace worn, damaged or rusty
contacts.
2.3. PERSONAL SAFETY
- Be careful. Do not operate the generator, if you are tired, under the inuence of
drugs or alcohol. Inattention may cause a serious injury.
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when working. Long hair, jewelry or loose
clothing may get into the moving parts of the generator and cause an injury.
The device generates electricity. Follow safety precautions to avoid
electric shock.

ATTENTION - DANGER!
Non compliance to these requirements may result in generator
combustion or explosion, as well as in electric wiring ignition inside
the structure.
-To avoid inhaling exhaust gas, the generator does not have to work in conditions
of poor ventilation. Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Use and
maintenance of the generator.
- Before you start checks before operating, make sure that the generator is on a
at level surface and the engine switch is set to O.
- Keep the generator dry, well ventilated place if you are not using it.
- Check the connection of moving parts, no damaged parts that aect the
operation of the generator. If the generator is damaged, remove them before
using.
- For repair and maintenance use only recommended oil fuel. Using other
lubricants, spare parts and consumables deprives you of warranty apparatus.
- Labels and stickers on the generator and engine leave because they contain
important information.
- Servicing the generator should be carried out only by qualied personnel.
- When servicing the generator follow all instructions of this manual.
2.4. PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH GASOLINE GENERATOR
- Do not start the generator operation upon presence of electric load. Disconnect
the load before you stop the engine.
- Generator installation is to be performed at minimum 1 meter safety distance
from ammable objects.
- Do not refuel the running generator.
- It is forbidden to smoke during generator refuelling operations.
- It is forbidden to run the generator during rainfall and in high-moisture level
conditions.
-The generator is to be mounted on at level surface to avoid petroleum leakage.
- Only unleaded gasoline is recommended for the generator. After lling the
tank, all excessive fuel spillage are to be removed from the surface. It is forbidden
to use kerosene or other fuel types.
- Observe the fuel tank relling. Do not allow overlling.
- All explosive and ammable materials or substances are to be kept away from
the generator, for its engine produces heat during operation.
- Avoid inadvertent start. Make sure to set the switch to O when you turn o
the generator.
- Make sure no outsider objects are on the generator when it is turned on. Do not
overload the generator, use it only for the purpose. Proper use of the generator
will do the job for which it is designed better and safer.
- Using device for other purposes deprives the right for free warranty. It is not
allowed to sit or stand on the generator.
- Always keep a stable position and balance when starting the generator.
- Use safety equipment. Always wear goggles, a mask, non-slip sole shoes,
protective helmet, headphones.

2.5. PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH HYBRID GENERATOR
- You are allowed to connect all the power consuming supplies only after
generatorgotwarmedup.Ifyoustartgeneratorwith appliances beingconnected
the engine may work unstable due to the fuel remains in the carburetor.
- Disconnect the load before you stop the engine.
- Before usage make sure, that all the hoses are connected properly.
- In case of gas leakage, stop the gas ow from the source to generator and
switch o all the electric appliances connected as soon as possible.
- For stopping gas powered engine: disconnect all the connected devices rst,
then close the gas valve, then turn o the engine. After that set the starter
switch to OFF position and turn o the gas supply valve.
Do not allow sparks near gas powered generetor during its work
! !
ATTENTION - DANGER!
Fuel contaminates the land and groundwater. Do not allow the
leaking gasoline from the tank!
! !
ATTENTION - DANGER!
- It is forbidden to touch the exhaust system during the generator start and in
process of its running.
- It is forbidden to run the generator in cases when its exposure to rain, snow and
possibility of soakage exist. Do not touch the generator with moist hands
- Before running the generator, it is necessary to dene the place and means of
its emergency stop.
