similar cable. If using an electrical extension cable, the total length of the extension must not exceed 60m when
the section of the wire is 1.5mm
Additional requirements for low-power generating sets for use by laymen
 Protect children by keeping them at a safe distance from the generating set.
 Fuel is combustible and easily ignited. Do not refuel during operation. Do not refuel while smoking or near
naked flames. Do not spill fuel.
 Some parts of the internal combustion engine are hot and may cause burns. Pay attention to the warnings
on the generating set.
 Engine exhaust gases are toxic. Do not operate the generating set in unventilated rooms. When installed
in ventilated rooms, additional requirements for fire and explosion protection shall be observed.
 Before use, the generating set and its electrical equipment (including lines and plug connections) should
be checked to ensure that they are not defective.
 Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit breakers specially matched to the generating set. If
the circuit breakers require replacement, they should be replaced with a circuit breaker having identical
ratings and performances characteristics.
 Due to high mechanical stresses, only tough rubber-sheathed flexible cable (in accordance with IEC
60245-4) or the equivalent should be used.
 The user shall conform to regulations of electrical safety applicable to the place where the generating sets
are used.
 The user must respect the requirements and precautions in the case of resupply by generating sets of an
installation, depending on existing protective measures in this installation and applicable regulations.
 Generating sets should only be loaded up to their rated power under the rated ambient conditions.
 Prior to commencing maintenance work it shall be ensured that untimely start-up is not possible.
Security measures when filling the fuel tank
 The fuel is extremely flammable and poisonous.
 This generator only uses petrol (gasoline); any other kind of fuel will damage the motor.
 Do not overfill the tank with petrol to avoid spilling. If you notice a spill, it must be wiped up completely with
a dry cloth before starting the motor.
 If you swallow fuel by mistake, if you inhale fuel vapours or if you get drops of fuel in your eyes, see a
doctor immediately. If a certain quantity of fuel is spilt on your skin or clothing, wash or change your
clothes.
 Always stop the motor of the generator when filling it with fuel.
 Never fill the fuel tank while smoking or near a naked flame.
 Make sure you don't spill fuel on the motor and the exhaust grille of the generator during filling with fuel.
 Keep the fuel in an appropriate recipient and sheltered from any sources of fire.
 Carry out filling in a safe place, and slowly open the fuel cap to release the pressure which has built up
inside the tank. Wipe up any drops of petrol that have spilled before starting the motor.
 To prevent fire, move the generator at least 4 metres away from the area for filling with fuel.
 Make sure that the fuel cap is tightly closed before starting.
 Do not keep petrol in the tank for a long time.
 While using or transporting the generator, make sure you keep the generator upright, otherwise the fuel
may escape from the carburettor or the fuel tank.

Electrical safety

Before each use ensure that the load to be connected does not exceed the power of the current
produced by the generator.
To avoid electric shock, you must follow the following instructions:
 Do not touch the generator with wet hands.
 Do not run the generator under rain or snow.
 Do not run the generator near water.
 Connect the generator to earth. Use a sufficiently thick conductor for the earth wire.
 Do not operate the generator in parallel with another generator.
 If using electrical extensions, make sure that they are sufficiently thick to transport the current and that
they are used correctly.
The connection of a generator used for auxiliary power to the electrical installation of a building must be
performed by a qualified electrician, and in conformity to the provisions of the applicable laws and norms in the
field of electricity. Incorrect connections will cause leakage of the current from the generator into the lines of
2 and must not exceed 100m when the section of the wire is 2.5mm
