Safety Instructions - YATO YT-85451 Manual Original

DEVICE CHARACTERISTICS
A power generator is an electromechanical device, in which me-
chanical energy is converted into electrical energy. A generator
consists of an internal combustion engine and a electric genera-
tor that cooperate. The correct, reliable, and safe operation of the
device depends on its proper use, so:
Read and keep the entire manual before the fi rst use of the
device.
The supplier shall not be held liable for any damage resulting
from failure to observe the safety regulations and recommenda-
tions specifi ed in this manual.
ACCESSORIES
The generator is sold complete and does not require assembly.
The generator engine contains oil in the quantity required only
for engine maintenance. CAUTION! The oil level must be topped
up before fi rst operation. A spark plug wrench is supplied with
the generator.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General safety instructions
Protect children by keeping a safe distance from the generator.
Before starting work, read the generator's markings and the
warning labels.
The fuel is explosive and ignites easily. Do not refi ll fuel while the
generator is running. Do not smoke while refi lling. Do not refi ll
fuel nearby fl ames.
Do not spill fuel.
Fuel vapours are hazardous, and fuel preparation and refi lling
must be carried out in well-ventilated areas.
Some parts of the internal combustion engine can be hot and
cause burns. Pay attention to the warnings placed on the gen-
erator.
The generator must only be carried using the appropriate han-
dles. Do not touch the generator surface if it becomes hot during
operation, this may cause burns.
Fumes and exhaust gases are toxic. Do not use the generator
in rooms without ventilation. When used in ventilated rooms, ad-
ditional measures must be taken to prevent fi re and explosion.
When using the generator outdoors, ensure that it is not posi-
tioned near windows, doors or ventilation inlets. Exhaust fumes
can enter the room and cause a hazard.
Read the warning labels and symbols placed on the generator.
Check their meaning with the operating manual.
Electrical Safety
Check the generator and the electrical accessories (including
plugs and cables) before use and make sure that they are not
damaged.
The generator is not intended to be connected to any other
source of electrical energy. It is absolutely forbidden to connect
the generator to a 230 V / 50 Hz mains socket.
Protection against electric shock depends on functioning of the
fuse specially selected for the generator. If the fuse needs to be
replaced, it shall be replaced with a fuse having the same rating
and performance characteristics.

GB
Due to high mechanical stresses, fl exible cables with hard rub-
ber insulation (according to IEC 60245-4) or equivalent must be
used.
When using extension cords, make sure that they are suitable
for outdoor use. The resistance of the extension cables shall
not exceed 1,5 Ω. The total length of the cable must not exceed
60 m for a cable cross-section of 1.5 mm
cross-section of 2.5 mm
The generator should be grounded if an electrical device which
requires grounding will be connected to its socket. Such a device
has a power supply cable equipped with a protective conduc-
tor. The grounding connection must be carried out by a qualifi ed
electrician in accordance with local regulations for the grounding
of electrical equipment.
Warning! The location of use of the generator may be subject to
local restrictions. Observe the local electrical safety regulations
when using the generator.
Warning! The operator must observe the requirements and
precautions when retrofi tting the generator, depending on the
existing protective measures in the plant and the applicable reg-
ulations.
Do not overload the generator. Most electrical equipment con-
sumes more power than its rated power during start-up. The
generator is not intended to power welders.
The power exceeding the rated power of the generator, but not
exceeding the maximum power, may not be used for more than
5 minutes in the S2 short-time operation mode. This means that
after 5 minutes of operation in this mode, the generator must be
stopped and allowed to cool down completely. If the power drawn
from the generator does not exceed its rated output, the genera-
tor may operate in S1 continuous operation mode.
It is not recommended to use splitters connected to the generator
socket. However, if such devices are used, the power demand of
all receivers connected to the generator must be summed up.
The sum of the power demand of the receivers must not exceed
the rated power of the generator.
Operational safety
The generator must stand on a fl at, level, hard and stable sur-
face. Provide at least 1 meter of free space around the generator
when it is running.
The generator must reach its rated engine revolutions before
connecting the electrical receiver. Before switching off the gen-
erator, turn off the electrical receiver, if the receiver has moving
parts, wait until they have come to a complete standstill and then
unplug the receiver's power cord from the generator socket.
The maximum engine's speed of revolution must not be exceed-
ed. If the maximum engine's speed of revolution is exceeded, the
generator can be damaged and operators can be injured.
The generator must not be stored or used in a damp or electrical-
ly conductive environment (e.g. on metal surfaces).
Do not expose the generator to precipitation. Do not use a gen-
erator that is exposed to precipitation.
The generator is not intended for use in potentially fl ammable or
explosive atmospheres.
The gases and exhaust fumes are hot enough to ignite certain
materials. Do not use the generator near combustible materials.
The generator must not be used if any damaged or destroyed
parts are noticed.
Do not leave the generator in operation unattended or under the
care of minors or persons who have not been trained in the op-
