FIRE
Never fill with fuel when the generator set is in operation or when the motor is hot.
- Clean all traces of fuel with a clean cloth.
- Petrol is extremely flammable and its fumes are explosive. It is prohibited to
smoke, approach a flame or produce sparks while the tank is being filled.
- Remove any flammable or explosive product (petrol, oil, cloth, etc.) while the set
is operating.
- Always position the generator set on a level, flat and horizontal floor to avoid the
fuel from the tank spilling onto the motor. Oil products must be stored and handled
in accordance with legislation.
EXHAUST GAS
The exhaust gas contains a highly toxic substance: carbon monoxide. This subs-
tance can be lethal at an excessive concentration in the air we breathe. For this
reason, always use your generator set in a well-ventilated place where gases can-
not accumulate.
- In addition, good ventilation is required for the correct operation of your genera-
tor set. Without this ventilation, the motor would rapidly rise to an excessive tem-
perature which would cause accidents or damage to the surrounding equipment
or property.
- However, if operation inside a building is required, provide suitable ventilation
such that the people or animals present are not affected. It is essential to exhaust
gases outside.
BURNS
- Never touch the motor or the exhaust silencer while the generator set is in opera-
tion or for a few minutes after it has been shut down.
- Some preservation oils are flammable. In addition, some are hazardous to inhale.
Provide good ventilation. Use a protective mask for injection.
- Hot oil causes burns. Avoid skin contact with hot oil. Make sure that the system
is not pressurised before any intervention. Never start or run the motor with the oil
filling cap removed, as there is a risk of oil being released.
