1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a portable electric power source. The Wacker Neuson Inverter
Generator consists
of
a gasoline engine, a fuel tank, and an electric alternator and
inverter.
Controls and receptacles are provided on a control panel mounted on the
side
of
the machine. As the engine runs, the generator converts mechanical energy
into
AC power and DC power. The operator connects loads to the AC power
receptacles or DC terminals.
This machine is intended for the purpose
of
supplying electrical power to
connected
loads.
Referto
the product specifications for the output voltage and
frequency
of
this generator, and for the maximum output power limit
of
this
generator.
This machine has been designed and
built strictly for the intended use described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose
could permanently damage the
machine or
seriously injure the operator or other persons
in
the area. Machine
damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.
The
following practices are some examples
of
misuse:
• Connecting a load that has voltage and frequency requirements that are
incompatible with the generator output
• Overloading the generator with a load that draws excessive power during either
continuous running or start-up
• Operating the generator
in
a manner that is inconsistent with all federal, state
and local codes and regulations.
•
Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
• Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
• Operating the machine outside
of
factory specifications
• Operating the machine
in
a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the
machine and
in
the Operator's Manual
This machine has been designed and built
in
accordance with the latest global
safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far as
practicable and to increase operator safety through protective guards and labeling.
However, some risks may remain even after protective measures have been taken.
They are
called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:
• Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine
• Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques
• Fuel and its fumes
• Electric shock and arc flash
• Personal
injury from improper lifting techniques
To
protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the
safety information presented
in
this manual before operating the machine.
