Safety Instructions; Before Operation - Parkside PGI 1200 A1 Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise

5. Safety instructions

1. No modifications are allowed to be made to the
generator
2. The speed preset by the manufacturer may not
be changed. The generator or connected devic-
es could be damaged.
Risk of poisoning! Fumes, fuels and lubricants
3.
are toxic. Do not breath in the fumes.
Fire risk! Petrol and petrol fumes are highly
4.
flammable and explosive.
5. Motor exhaust gases are toxic. The generator
must not be operated in unventilated rooms. If
the generator is to be operated in well-ventilated
rooms, the exhaust gases must be discharged
directly outside via an exhaust gas hose. Ad-
ditional requirements for protection against fire
and explosion must also be observed.
6. Even when using an exhaust hose, toxic gas can
still escape. Due to the risk of fire, the exhaust
hose should never be aimed at combustible ma-
terial.
7. Never use the generator in rooms with highly
flammable materials.
Hot surface! Risk of burning, do not touch the
8.
exhaust system and engine unit.
9. Do not touch any of the mechanically moving or
hot parts. Do not remove any of the protective
caps.
Protective equipment! Use suitable ear protec-
10.
tion when near the device.
11. Only original parts should be used for mainte-
nance and accessories.
12. Repair and maintenance work must only be per-
formed by authorised qualified personnel.
13. Protect yourself from electric shocks.
14. Never touch the generator with wet hands
15. Only use outside with a extension cable which
is suitable for that and is appropriately marked
(H07RN).
16. When using an extension cable, the total length
should not exceed 50 m for 1.5 mm², 100 m for
2.5 mm².
17. Do not use the generator in the rain or snow.
18. Always turn off the engine when transporting or
refuelling.
19. Fuel is combustible and highly flammable. Do
fuel the unit during operation. Do not fuel the unit
when someone is smoking or near open flames.
Do not spill any fuel.
20. Do not refuel or empty near naked lights or
flames or flying sparks. Do not smoke!
21. Put the generator on a secure and level place.
Turning, tipping or changing its position during
operation is forbidden.
22. Install the generator at least 1 m away from the
walls or attached devices.
23. Children must be protected by ensuring that they
stay a safe distance away from the generator.

24. Some parts of the reciprocating internal com-
bustion motor are hot and may cause burns. The
warnings on the generator must be observed.
25. Emission levels are represented in the technical
data under the stated values for sound power
level (L ) and sound pressure level (L
WA
are not compulsory definite working levels.Be-
cause there is a connection between emission
levels and immission levels, this can not reliably
used to determine the potentially necessary ad-
ditional precautions. Influencing factors on the
workforce's current immission level includes the
properties of the work area, other noise sources,
air borne sound, etc. such as e.g. the number of
machines and other neighbouring processes and
intervals, to which the user is exposed. Also the
admissible immission levels can vary from coun-
try to country. However, this information gives
the user of the machine the opportunity to have a
better estimation of the risks and dangers. Occa-
sionally acoustic measurements should be take
after installation in order to determine the sound
pressure level.
ATTENTION: Only use unleaded normal petrol as
fuel.

6. Before operation

Installation (Fig. 1/2)
To attach the handle (1), remove both Phillips screws
M6x35 mm which are inserted. Place the handle (1) in
position and screw it tight. Attach all parts before pour-
ing in fuel or oil in order to prevent leaking of liquids.
Electrical safety
Prior to use, the generator and its electrical equip-
ment (including lines and plug connectors) should be
checked to ensure that there are no defects.
Never connect the generator to the mains (power
point).
Keep the cables as short as possible.
m Attention!
Dispense of polluted maintenance and operating ma-
terials in a suitable collection point.
Earthing (Fig. 1)
Earthing is needed to disperse static discharge. Con-
nect a cable from one side of the earthing connector
(7) of the generator and from the other side to an ex-
ternal ground.
ATTENTION! When being used for the first time, mo-
tor oil (15 W-40, approx. 0.25 l) and petrol (unleaded
normal petrol) must be put in.
Check the fuel level and the oil, and if necessary top
them up. Make sure you have adequate ventilation.
Ensure that the spark cable is securely in the spark
plug. Unplug any electric device connected to the
generator.
