Safety

Residual risks

Despite proper use, non-obvious residual risks cannot be completely ruled out.
The following hazards may occur due to the type of generator:
− Due to unforeseeable, excessive wear, e.g. rusting of the fuel tank, petrol
can spill on hot parts and ignite. The tank may explode.
− Risk of electric shock resulting in death caused by unpredictable defects of
the electrical equipment that are connected.
− The exhaust gas emissions may increase due to unpredictable, excessive
wear and endanger health and pollute the environment.
− Fuel or engine oil may leak due to unpredictable, excessive wear and
pollute the environment.
