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 place on
them, only durable and flexible cables with rubber
insulation (meeting the requirements of norm IED
60245-4) may be used.
5) If the electricity generator meets the requirements
of the protective function "protection by electrical
Table 6
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).
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 dia-
gram 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 (information about grounding, permitted
lengths of connecting 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 par-
tially closed area and under conditions of insuffi-
cient cooling and access to fresh air. Running the
generator in the vicinity of open windows or doors
is not permitted 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 ventila-
ted out of such areas. This may result in poisoning
of persons working 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 consciousness 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-
must not exceed 60 m.
