1.3.4 Safety guidelines to prevent fire
Danger
1.3.5 Safety guidelines against burns
Never touch the engine or the silencer while the generating set is in operation, or when it has just stopped.
Warning
Hot oil burns; avoid contact with the skin. Before carrying out any operation, check that the system is no longer pressurised. Never start
or run the engine if the oil filler cap is off (oil may splash out).
1.3.6 Danger of moving parts
Danger
1.3.7 Safety guidelines for exhaust gases
Danger
For safety reasons and for correct operation of the generating set, correct ventilation is essential (risk of intoxication, engine
overheating and accidents involving, or damage to, the surrounding equipment and property). If it is necessary to operate it inside a
building, the exhaust gases must be evacuated outside and adequate ventilation must be provided so that any people or animals
present are not affected.
1.3.8 Operating conditions
The stated outputs of the generating sets are obtained under the reference conditions outlined in ISO 8528-1(2005):
Total barometric pressure: 100 Kpa
Air ambient temperature: 25°C (298K)
Relative humidity: 30%
Generating set performance is reduced by approximately 4% for every additional 10° C and/or approximately 1% for every additional
100m in altitude.
1.3.9 Capacity of the generating set (overload)
Never exceed the rated load of the generating set (in Amps and/or Watts) when it is running continuously.
Before connecting and operating the generating set, calculate the electrical power required by the electric appliances (in Watts). This
electrical power rating is usually found on the manufacturer's plate on bulbs, electrical appliances, motors etc. The sum total of power
required by these appliances should not exceed the nominal power rating of the generating set.
1.3.10 Protecting the environment
Drain the engine oil into a designated container: never drain or discard engine oil onto the ground.
As far as possible, avoid sound reverberating through walls or buildings (the noise will be amplified).
If the generating set is used in wooded, bushy or uncultivated areas and if the exhaust silencer is not fitted with a spark arrester, clear
any vegetation away from the area and take care that the sparks do not cause a fire.
Never operate the generating set in areas containing flammable products (risk of sparks).
Keep all flammable products (petrol, oil, fabric etc.) out of the way when the unit is in
operation.
Never cover the generating set with any type of material while it is in operation or just after
it has been turned off: always wait until the engine cools down.
Never go near a moving part that is in operation if you have loose clothing or long hair that
is not enclosed in a protective hair net.
Do not try to stop, slow down or impede a moving part when it is in operation.
The carbon monoxide present in the exhaust gas may lead to death by inhalation if the
concentration levels in the atmosphere are too high.
Always use the generating set in a well ventilated area where the gases cannot
accumulate.
