Do not allow the unit to be used by non-authorized personnel or by minors without adult supervision.
Use the necessary Individual protection equipment.
Ground the machine.
Make sure there is sufficient lighting on the control panel.
Do not install the open-skid electrical generator outdoors: risk of electrocution and inoperability.
The connection should be made by a qualified electrician in accordance with current norms and regulations. An
improper connection can cause electrical feedback with electrocution hazards for anyone working with the mains
power supply.
The supply line between the electrical generator and the consumers should be protected by means of a circuit
breaker for protection against earth leakage (ELCB).
Do not operate the unit with the doors open. Risk of electrocution, burns or entrapment.
The exhaust system produces enough heat to ignite certain materials.
Do not inhale exhaust gases produced by the unit.
Do not touch the engine nor the exhaust while the electrical generator is operating as this could produce severe
burns.
Ensure proper ventilation in the area where the generator is installed in order to guarantee sufficient flow of coolant
air.
D
o not refuel while the engine is running or in poorly ventilated areas.
K
now how to stop the unit in case of emergency.
The fuel used is flammable and volatile.
Do not overfill the tank and make sure it is closed properly after filling. Use extreme precaution if fuel is spilled: the
vapors and the fuel itself are flammable. Clean the area completely before starting up the unit.
Do not smoke or bring any flames or sparks in the vicinity of the electrical generator: risk of explosion.
I
f you notice abnormal behavior by the electrical generator, stop the unit and locate, examine and resolve the
potential failure of the unit prior to restarting.
Keep the unit at least one meter away from buildings or other units.
Be cautious when switching or installing batteries as they contain acids which are highly hazardous. Avoid spills and
use protection to avoid contact with the skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water and contact a
doctor immediately.
In case of ingestion of battery acid, drink large amounts of water and milk and contact a doctor immediately.
Use only distilled water in the battery: tap water reduces its life cycle.
If a battery is filled above the maximum level, the electrolytes will spill out; if this happens, clean the area quickly to
avoid corrosion of the parts it has come in contact with.
Frequently clean the unit to avoid obstructions or the entry of foreign elements into the unit (dust, moisture, etc.).
Regularly inspect the unit’s electrical cords.
Prolonged contact with the used oil can cause skin cancer. Wash your hands after working with the generator.
Avoid oil spills on both the inside and outside of the generator. In case of an oil spill on the inside of the unit, clean it
properly as it could potentially become a flammable material.
