1. INDICATIONS AND GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
To ensure the best working conditions and safety, please read the following
paragraphs:
One of the basic factors of security is respect for the maintenance intervals (see
maintenance chart). Also, never attempt repairs or maintenance if you have no experience and
/ or tools required.
ELECTROCUTION
- The generators supply electrical current during use.
- Never touch damaged or disconnected cable connections.
- Never operate a generator with wet hands feet.
- Never expose the equipment to liquid splashes or outdoors, or place it on a
wet floor.
- Keep electrical cables and connections in good condition.
- The use of material in poor condition can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
- Provide a differential protection device between the generator and the apparatus if
the length or the cables used is greater than 1 meter.
- Use flexible and resilient rubber sheathed cables in accordance with current regulations.
- The generator must not be connected to other energy sources, such as public distribution
network. In the particular case a backup connection is foreseen to networks
electrical existing, should only perform this operation a qualified electrician.
To do this you must take into account the differences in operating the equipment, according to
the public grid or generator is used.
- The lightning protection breakers depends on a specifically provided in the generator. If the
latter should be replaced, it should be done by others with identical nominal values and
characteristics.
FIRE Never refuel the fuel tank while the generator is running or the engine is hot.
- Clean any traces of fuel with a clean cloth.
- Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive vapors. Do not smoke, approaching
a flame or cause sparks when refueling the fuel tank.
- Keep any flammable or explosive product (fuel, oil, rags, etc.) when the
group is underway.
- Place the generator always on level ground, flat and level in order to prevent the
fuel tank spills on the engine.
- The storage of chemical / oil products and handling is carried out according to the
laws.
EXHAUST GASES
- Exhaust gases contain highly toxic component: carbon dioxide. This component
can cause death if present in very high concentrations in the air we breathe.
- For this reason, always use your generator in a well ventilated place where the
gases can not accumulate.
- In addition, good ventilation is required for the proper operation of your generator. Without
this ventilation, the engine quickly increase the temperature to values that produce accidents
or damage to the equipment or surrounding property.
- However, if an operation must be performed within a building, provide for the
appropriate ventilation so that persons or animals are not present
affected.
