Responsibility Of The User - Urrea GGI810 Manual De Usuario

• Periodically check for leaks or signs of de-
terioration in the fuel system, such as worn
or soft hoses, loose or missing clamps, or
damaged tank or plug. All these failures
must be corrected before the operation.
• The generator should be operated, ser-
viced and refueled only under the fol-
lowing conditions: a) Start and run the
generator outdoors. Do not operate the
generator in a closed area, even when the
doors or windows are open; avoid areas
where exhaust gases can be enclosed, such
as wells, garages, basements, excavations
and galleries.
These generators are designed to offer a safe
and reliable service if operated according to the
instructions. Read and understand the user's
manual before operating the generator.
You can help prevent accidents by being familiar
with generator controls, and following safe op-
erating procedures.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER

• • Know how to stop the generator quickly
in case of emergency.
• • Understand the use of all generator con-
trols, outlet receptacles and connections.
• • Make sure that anyone who operates the
generator receives proper instruction.
• Do not allow children to operate the gen-
erator without parental supervision.
HAZARDS OF CARBON MONOXIDE
• Exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon
monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause loss
of consciousness and can cause death.
• If you use the generator in an area that is
confined, or even partially enclosed area,
the air you breathe could contain a dan-
gerous amount of exhaust gases.
• Never operate the generator inside a ga-
rage, house or near open windows or
doors.
RISKS OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• The generator produces enough electrical
power to cause a serious shock or electro-
cution if misused.
• The use of a generator or electrical device
in conditions of rain, snow, or near a pool
or sprinkler system, or if your hands are
wet, could result in electric shock. Keep the
generator dry.
16
• If the generator is stored outdoors, with-
out protection against the weather, check
all electrical components in the panel of
control before each use. Humidity or ice
can cause a malfunction or short circuit in
electrical components that could result in
electrocution.
• Do not connect it to an electrical system
in a building unless an isolation switch has
been installed by a qualified electrician.
• Use only an approved parallel operation
kit (optional equipment) to connect two
generators for parallel operation.
• Never connect different models and types
of generators.
FIRE OR BURN HAZARD
• The exhaust system heats up enough to ig-
nite some materials.
• Keep the generator at least 3 feet
(1 meter) away from buildings and
other equipment during operation.
• Do not enclose the generator in any
structure.
• Keep flammable materials away from
the generator.
• The muffler becomes very hot during op-
eration and remains hot for a while after
the engine has been turned off. Be careful
to not touch it. The silencer while it is hot.
Let the engine cool down before storing
the generator indoors.
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and ex-
plosive under some conditions. Do not
smoke or allow flames or sparks in which
the generator fills the tank or where gaso-
line is stored. Fill the tank in a well-venti-
lated place with the engine stopped.
• Fuel vapors are highly flammable and can
ignite after the engine has started. Make
sure that fuel spills have been removed be-
fore starting the generator.
DEFINING TOTAL WATTAGE
In order to prevent overloading and posible
damage to your generator it is necessary to
know total wattage of the connected load.
To determine which load and or appliances your
generator will run follow these steps;
Check wattage requirements by referring to the
loads nameplate or by calculating it (multiply
amps x volts = watts).
You can get help for calculation using the Table
1 Total the watts for each item. If the nameplate
only give volts and amps, multiply volts x amps =
