GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
1) RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
WARNING! Risk of fire and explosion! Always switch the engine off before refil-
ling. The fuel and its fumes are highly inflammable. Do not pour the fuel onto hot
surfaces.Work in a well ventilated area, do not smoke and keep away from naked
flames and incandescent objects. Wear safety goggles and fire resistant gloves.
Do not swallow, do not inhale the fumes given off by the fuel and keep it out of the
reach of children. Avoid contact with skin. In the event of contact with the eyes,
rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
WARNING! Do not use the machine in areas with a risk of explosion and/or fire,
in indoor areas or in the presence of inflammable and/or explosive liquids, gases,
powders, vapours, acids or elements. Do not use the machine in the presence of
incendiary sources such as naked flames, cigarettes, sparks, etc.
WARNING! For generating sets equipped with motors with electric start-up, and
therefore batteries, the battery must be used properly and must be in good condition.
The battery: - Produces explosive gases. Use with extreme caution to prevent all
risk of fire and explosion. - Contains sulphuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with eyes
and skin can cause burning. If the electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes,
wash with water for 15 minutes and call a doctor. Keep out of the reach of children.
2) EXHAUST GAS: RISK OF POISONING
WARNING! Risk of poisoning. The motor gives off poisonous, odourless and co-
lourless gas containing carbon monoxide: inhalation may cause nausea, fainting
and death.
WARNING! Do not operate the machine in indoor or poorly ventilated environments.
Seek immediate medical attention in the event of inhalation.
3) HOT SURFACES: RISK OF BURNS
WARNING! Risk of burns. During use, some external surfaces of the machine may
reach high temperatures, and may remain hot for several hours after stopping the
machine. Pay particular attention to the exhaust system and the hot parts of the
motor, such as the cylinder head.
4) RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK AND ELECTROCUTION
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution. Electricity is potentially dange-
rous and, if not used properly, produces electric shocks and electrocution, causing
serious injury or death, fires and damage to electrical appliances.
Connect the machine to an earth rod.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution. Keep children, unauthorised
people and animals away from the generator.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution. Connect electrical equipment
(including plugs and extension cables) that are in good condition to the generator.
Always check that the equipment's voltage corresponds to the one supplied by the
generator. If an extension cable is used, use a rubber insulated cable (conforming
with IEC 245-4).
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution. Connecting the machine and
supplying energy to a fixed power supply of a building already connected to a
power supply line is prohibited and dangerous. Only a qualified electrician is
allowed to carry out this type of connection, in accordance with current laws and
electrical norms. Incorrect connection can cause the electricity supplied by the
generator to return into the public supply and therefore cause electric discharges
to people working on the system. This type of connection can cause a serious risk
of electrocution and death and can also cause the machine to catch on fire or
explode as well as set fire to the building's fixed power supply.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution. The generator is potentially
dangerous if used incorrectly. Do not touch it with wet hands or use it in damp
environments, in the rain, snow or mist.
Connect the generator to an earth rod.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution. Keep the extension cables,
power supply cables, and the connected appliances away from the machine's hot
parts. Risk of damage.

WARNING! Check the power supply cable of your appliance. The power supply cable
and extension cable (where applicable) must be checked periodically and must be
checked for signs of damage and wear every time it is used.
If it is not found to be in good condition it must be disconnected immediately and
the appliance must not be used until it has been repaired.
WARNING! Keep the power supply cable of your appliance in a safe position. Keep
the power supply cable and extension cable (where applicable) away from the
generator, damp, wet, or oily surfaces, or surfaces with sharp edges, heat sources,
fuel and transit areas for vehicles or pedestrians.
