1 Preface
Before use, read this manual and the safety instructions provided alongside it thoroughly. Keep
these safe throughout the unit's service life and always adhere to the safety advice and the
usage and maintenance instructions contained therein.
CAUTION
The information contained in this manual is taken from technical data available at the time of print (the photos shown in this manual
are not legally binding). In line with our policy of continually improving the quality of our products, this information may be amended
without warning. On request, we can supply our original manuals in French via our website.
In this manual, dangers are represented by the following two symbols:
Immediate danger.
Indicates an imminent danger which may result in death or serious injury. Failure to follow the instruction
shown may pose serious risks to the health and life of those concerned.
DANGER
Potential danger.
Indicates a dangerous situation if the warning is not heeded. Failure to follow the instruction indicated may
cause minor injuries to those concerned or damage to equipment.
IMPORTANT
This unit is a electrical generating set which offers an additional welding function. It is mainly designed to produce electricity but
may also be used to perform welding operations, provided that these are low intensity and limited in duration.
2 Instructions and safety regulations (personal protection)
The instructions and safety regulations must be read carefully and followed to avoid endangering personal health and safety. If
there is any doubt over the meaning of the instructions, please contact your nearest agent.

2.2
General guidelines
Never let other people use the unit without ensuring they have all of the necessary instructions beforehand. Never allow a child to
touch the unit, even when switched off, and do not operate the unit when animals are in the vicinity (fear, disturbance, etc.).
In all cases, respect the local regulations currently in place concerning the use of the units. Exhaust gases, fuel and oil are toxic
products; take all necessary protective measures.
2.3
Guidelines for 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 unit 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. Once the unit is no longer being used (end of
product life), take it to a waste collection point.
2.4
Risks relating to exhaust gases
RISK OF POISONING
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 unit in a well ventilated area where the gases cannot accumulate.
DANGER
For safety reasons and for correct operation of the unit, correct ventilation is essential (risk of poisoning, 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.
