2.1. Electrical equipment including cable, cords and plug connection must not be defective. Please
check before using.
2.2. Do not plug the generator directly into a wall socket-outlet.
2.3. The generator should not be connected to other sources such as the power company supply
mains. In special cases where stand-by connection to existing electrical systems or integration
therewith is intended, note that it is a legal requirement that such connections or integration may
only be performed by a competent person.
2.4. Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit-breakers that are specially matched to the
generator. If a circuit breaker requires replacement, it shall be replaced by a circuit breaker that
has identical ratings and performance characteristics.
2.5. Due to high mechanical stresses only tough rubber-sheathed flexible cable should be used.
2.6. If the generator is of CLASS II construction then earthing of the generator is not required.
