1.3.8 Operating conditions
The stated outputs of the generating sets are obtained under the reference conditions outlined in ISO 8528-1(2005):
9 Total barometric pressure: 100 Kpa
9 Air ambient temperature: 25°C (298K)
9 Relative humidity: 30%
Generating set performance is reduced by approximately 4% for every additional 10° C and/or approximately 1% for every additional
100m in altitude.
1.3.9 Capacity of the generating set (overload)
Never exceed the rated load of the generating set (in Amps and/or Watts) when it is running continuously.
Before connecting and operating the generating set, calculate the electrical power required by the electric appliances (in Watts). This
electrical power rating is usually found on the manufacturer's plate on bulbs, electrical appliances, motors etc. The sum total of power
required by these appliances should not exceed the nominal power rating of the generating set.
1.3.10 Protecting the environment
Drain the engine oil into a designated container: never drain or discard engine oil onto the ground.
As far as possible, avoid sound reverberating through walls or buildings (the noise will be amplified).
If the generating set is used in wooded, bushy or uncultivated areas and if the exhaust silencer is not fitted with a spark arrester, clear
any vegetation away from the area and take care that the sparks do not cause a fire.
1.3.11 Filling with fuel
Danger
The fuel is highly flammable and its vapours are combustible.
Filling should be carried out with the engine turned off. Smoking, using a naked flame or
producing sparks are forbidden while the fuel tank is being filled.
All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
Storage and handling of petroleum products must be carried out in accordance with the law. Close the fuel tap (if fitted) each time the
tank has been filled. Never top up fuel when the generating set is in operation or hot.
Always place the generating set on a flat, level and horizontal surface to avoid fuel spilling onto the motor. Fill the tank with a funnel
taking care not to spill the fuel, then screw the plug back onto the fuel tank.
1.3.12 Safety guidelines for handling batteries
Danger
Never leave the battery close to a flame or fire.
Use only insulated tools.
Never use sulphuric acid or acid water to top up the electrolyte level.
