XIII. Safety instructions
for using the generator
Electrical generators may present risks that are not discer-
nible to amateurs and children in particular. Safe operation
is possible with a sufficient knowledge of the functions of
electrical generators.
a) Basic safety information
1) Protect children by ensuring that they remain at
a safe distance from electrical generator.
2) Fuel is flammable and ignites easily. Do not pour
fuel into the generator while the engine is running.
Do not pour fuel into the generator while smo-
king a cigarette or in the vicinity of an open flame.
Prevent fuel from spilling.
3) Certain parts of combustion engines are hot and
may cause burns. Pay attention to warnings on
electrical generators.
4) Engine exhaust fumes are toxic. Do not use electri-
city generators in unventilated rooms. In the event
that electricity generators are located in unventi-
lated rooms, other fire and explosion prevention
requirements must be adhered to.
d) Electrical safety
1) Prior to using electricity generators and their
electrical equipment (including cables, power
sockets, etc.) they must be inspected to ensure that
they are not damaged.
2) This electricity generator must not be connected
to other power supply sources such as electrical
power grids. In special circumstances, where the
generator is intended to serve as a stand-by backup
to existing electrical systems, such a connection
must be performed only by a qualified electrician,
who must take into consideration the differences
between the operating equipment utilising the
public power grid and the operation of the electri-
city generator. In accordance with this part of norm
ISO 8528 the differences must be specified in the
user's manual.
3) Protection against injury by electrical shock
depends on the circuit breakers that are specially
adapted to the electricity generator. In the event
that circuit breakers need to be replaced, then they
must be replaced with circuit breakers with identi-
cal parameters and performance characteristics.
4) Due to the significant mechanical strain placed on
them, only durable and flexible cables with rub-
ber insulation (meeting the requirements of norm
IEC 60245-4) may be used.
5) If the electricity generator meets the requirements
of the protective function "protection by electri-
cal isolation" in accordance with annex B, B.5.2.1.1.
EN ISO 8528-13 grounding of generators is not neces-
sary (see paragraph grounding of the generator).
EN
6) When using extension cords or mobile distribution
networks, the resistance value must not exceed
1.5 Ω. The total length of cables with a conductor
cross-section of 1.5 mm
With a conductor cross-section of 2.5 mm
gth of the cable must not exceed 100 m (with the
exception of cases, where the generator meets the
requirements of the protective function "protection
by electrical isolation" in accordance with annex B,
B.5.2.1.1. EN ISO 8528-13). Extension cords must be
unwound along their entire length for the purpose
of cooling by ambient air.
7) Selection of the protective arrangement, which must
be performed based on the characteristic of the
generator, operating conditions and the diagram
of grounded connections determined by the user.
These instructions and user's manual must contain all
the information necessary for the user to be able to
correctly perform these protective measures (infor-
mation about grounding, permitted lengths of con-
necting cables, additional protection devices, etc.).

WARNING
y The user must adhere to the requirements of directives
related to electrical safety, which relate to the location
where the electricity generator is used.
y Never start the equipment in an enclosed or partially
closed area and under conditions of insufficient coo-
ling and access to fresh air. Running the generator
in the vicinity of open windows or doors is not per-
mitted due to the inadequate extraction of exhaust
fumes. This also applies when using the generator
in trenches, shafts, outdoor holes, where exhaust
fumes fill up such areas because they are denser than
air and therefore are not well ventilated out of such
areas. This may result in poisoning of persons wor-
king in these areas. Exhaust fumes are poisonous and
contain toxic carbon monoxide, which is a colourless
and odourless gas that may result in loss of consci-
ousness when inhaled and possibly also death.
The safe operation of the generator in an enclosed
or a partially enclosed area must be assessed and
approved by respective government safety depart-
ments (fire protection, extraction of fumes, noise
level, etc.), which are able to evaluate all the risks
set and evaluate all acceptable limit values of risk
factors, otherwise it is not permitted to operate the
engine in these areas.
y Petrol is flammable and poisonous, including its
vapours. Therefore, prevent fuel from coming into
contact with skin, breathing in vapours and ingesting
it. Handle petrol and refill the fuel tank in well venti-
lated areas to prevent inhaling petrol vapours. While
performing such tasks, use suitable protective aids to
prevent skin contact and potential spillage.
When handling petrol, do not smoke or handle an
open flame. Avoid contact with sources of radiant heat.
Do not refill petrol while the engine is running. Turn
off the engine and wait for all parts to cool down
before refilling the tank.
must not exceed 60 m.
