4. Do not connect the generator to the main power grid. The power generator
may not be connected to another power source such as provided by the power
company. In special cases where the objective is to create a standby
connection with existing electrical systems, this may only be done by a
qualified electrician who must weigh the difference between equipment that
uses the public power grid and the generator.
5. Do not connect the generator in parallel with another generator.
6. The protection against electric shocks is based on the power circuit breakers
that are specifically aligned with the power generator. If the circuit breakers
must be replaced, they must be replaced with circuit breakers with identical
values and characteristics.
7. Because of high mechanical stresses, only tough, rubber insulated flexible
cable (in accordance with IEC 60245-4) or a comparable cable must be used.
8. The use of an extension cable is not recommended because it could cause
overheating or fire. If the use of an extension cable cannot be avoided, ensure
it is an undamaged, approved extension cable with earthing. When using
extension leads/cable reels or mobile distribution networks, the resistance
value may not be higher than 1.5 ohms.
As a reference, the total length of any extension leads/cable reels with a
diameter of 1.5 mm
reels with a diameter of 2.5 mm
Fire hazard
1. Do not use the generator in fire hazard situations. Some materials could catch
fire because of the heat of the exhaust.
 While in use, position the generator at least one metre away from buildings
and other devices.
 Do not enclose the generator in any way.
 Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
 Some components of the combustion engine are hot and could cause buns.
Pay attention to the warnings on the generator.
 The exhaust can be very hot and remain hot for some time even after
switching the engine off. Do not touch the exhaust if it is hot. Allow the
engine to cool down before putting the generator away.
 If there is a fire, never pour water directly on the generator. Use a fire
extinguisher specifically intended for electrical or oil fires.
2. Fill the tank carefully. Petrol is very flammable and fuel vapours can explode.
First allow the engine to cool down after use. Fill the tank in a well-ventilated
area and with the engine switched off. Do not fill the tank while it is in
operation. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Never smoke in the vicinity of petrol
and keep flames and sparks at a distance. Always store petrol in
an approved tank. Before starting, remove any spilled petrol.
2 may not be longer than 60 metres. Extension leads/cable
2 may not be longer than 100 metres.
