• The load must not exceed the specifications on the
rating plate of the generator. An overload will cause
damage to the machine or a shorter service life.
• Do not run the motor with excessive speed. Running
the motor with excessive speed increases the risk of
injury. Do not change any components that have an
impact on the regular speed.
• Before carrying out adjustments on the generator or
motor, remove the spark plug or the ignition cable,
respectively, to prevent accidental start-up.
• Do not operate machines with faulty or missing com-
ponents or without protective housing or covers. You
can obtain information about spare parts from your
customer service.
• Do not use or store the machine in a wet or damp en-
vironment or on highly conductive surfaces such as
metal coatings or steel constructions. When using
the machine under the aforementioned conditions,
you must wear rubber gloves and boots and use a
ground circuit breaker.
• Keep the generator clean and free from oil, dirt and
other foreign particles.
• Ensure that extension cables, power cables and all
electrical components are in a flawless condition.
Never operate electrical devices with damaged or
faulty cables.
• To prevent burning, do not touch the exhaust and
other motor and generator parts that heat up during
operation.
• Do not connect the machine to domestic power out-
lets.
• Do not connect it to other electricity sources.
Do not use the generator under the following condi-
tions:
• when changing the motor speed
• when the electrical power decreases
• when a misfire occurs
• when sparks form
• during excessive vibration
• when flames or smoke appear
• in closed rooms
• during rain or rough weather
• in closed room sections
• when connected devices overheat
• in the event of damage to the sockets
Regularly check the fuel system for leakages and trac-
es of wear and tear such as abraded or porous lines,
loose or missing brackets and damage to the tank or
tank lid. All faults must be resolved before use.
The generator should be used, maintained and refu-
elled only under the following conditions:
• Sufficient ventilation. Avoid environments in which
fumes can accumulate, such as ditches, basements,
excavations and bilges. Observe the air flow and
temperature.
• The ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C.
• In closed rooms, disperse hazardous fumes via
pipes. The motor fumes contain carbon monoxide,
a toxic, odourless and colourless gas, which caus-
es severe health damage and possibly death, when
inhaled.
• Refuel the generator only when there is sufficient
lighting. Avoid spilling fuel. Never refuel the gener-
ator during operation. Leave the motor to cool down
for about two minutes before refuelling.
• Do not carry out refuelling close to open fires, in-
dicator lights or sparking electrical devices such
as power tools, welding machines or grinding ma-
chines.
• Check sound absorbers and air filters for flawless
condition. These parts act as flame protection in the
event of misfire.
• Do not smoke close to the generator. Do not wear
loose clothing, jewellery or similar objects that may
get caught by the starter motor or other rotary parts.
The generator has been built according to the
state-of-the-art and the recognised technical safe-
ty rules. However, individual residual risks can
arise during operation.
Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met,
some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "safety in-
structions" and the "Proper use" are observed along
with the whole of the operating instructions.
Dangers and protective measures
Exhaust gases:
Inhalation of exhaust gases
Only use the unit outdoors
Electric shock:
Touching the spark plug
Do not touch the spark plug connectors when the en-
gine is running
Burns:
Touching the exhaust
Leave the device to cool down
