Product identification
• The generator is never to be connected up to another energy distribution sys-
tem (e.g. public power supply) or to other power generating systems (e.g.
other generators, solar plants, etc.). To start with this is usually not permitted
by . In both cases this will inevitably lead to severe damage and possibly also
severe injury.
• Never place the generator in explosion-prone environments. The individual
components of the generator are not designed to be EX-protected.
• Never operate the generator in rooms, narrow pits or vehicles. The combus-
tion exhaust gases contain poisonous substances including the odourless
but deadly gas carbon monoxide (CO) which, when breathed in, can accu-
mulate in cases of poor air circulation to reach deadly concentrations. Also a
lack of fresh air circulation leads to overheating and possible damage to the
generator right through to destruction.
• For the same reasons of risk, never divert exhaust gases for the purposes of
heating rooms or vehicles.
• Never clean the generator with the aid of a high pressure cleaner or a strong
jet of water.
• Never allow water to find its way inside the generator. Never pour water over
the generator and never clean it using a water hose or a high pressure clean-
er.
• Never operate the generator in any area where it could be flooded by high
water or any other events. The device's protection class (see Chapter 13 )
allows operation with spray water, however not in the case of floods.
