SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not use the generator in rooms with poor ventilation or in conditions of excessive humidity. Do not place the generator in water or on moist soil. Do not expose the generator to rain, snow, as well as to direct sunlight for a long
time. Place the generator on a flat, hard surface, away from flammable liquids/gases (at a minimum distance of 1 m). Install the generator at a distance of not less than 1 m from the front control panel and not less than 50 cm on
each side, including the upper part of the generator. Keep unauthorized persons, children, and animals away from work area. Wear safety shoes and gloves.
ATTENTION – DANGER!

• When installing the generator, pay attention to the capacity of electrical appliances and their starting current, which may be several times higher than the rated current. The generator cannot run in overload conditions when starting consumers with an in-rush current higher than the generator’s maximum output.
• Pay attention to the number of phases of the generator and the electrical system. A three-phase generator is only suitable for three-phase power consumers. Never connect a three-phase generator to a three-phase home network if there are no three-phase power consumers
• As exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon dioxide (CO2) and car-bon monoxide (CO) gases which are dangerous for life, it is strictly forbidden to install the generator in residential buildings, premises connected to residential buildings by a common ventilation system, other rooms from which exhaust gases may enter living premises.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

ATTENTION – DANGER!
The device generates electricity. Follow safety precautions to avoid electric shock.
IMPORTANT!
The generator should be used as an IT or TN system based on the application. Earthing and additional protective measures such as insulation monitoring or protection against accidental contact (residual current device) must be provided based on the application and the system used.
The generator produces electricity that may lead to an electric shock while neglecting compliance regulations. All connecting the generator to the network must be made by certified electrician in accordance with all electrical rules and regulations. Connect the generator to the protective ground before operation. Wires with damaged or spoiled insulation should be replaced. You should also replace worn, damaged or rusty contacts.
IMPORTANT!
It is forbidden to connect to the generator devices which can generate current pulses and direct energy towards the generator (voltage stabilizers, devices with electronic brakes, on-grid and hybrid inverters, etc.).
The generator and power consumers form a closed system, with elements affecting each other. This system is physically different from the public network since it is significantly affected by factors such as unbalanced phase load and non-linear current consumption by power consumers that can cause damage to the generator and power consumers connected to it.
ATTENTION – DANGER!
Be careful. Do not operate the generator, if you are tired, under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Inattention may cause a serious injury.
IMPORTANT!
Using device for other purposes deprives the right for free warranty.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH GASOLINE GENERATOR

Do not start the generator operation upon presence of electric load! Disconnect the load before you stop the engine. Only unleaded gasoline is recommended for the generator. It is forbidden to use kerosene or other fuel types. Before running the generator, it is necessary to define the place and means of its emergency stop. Do not refuel the running generator.
ATTENTION – DANGER!
Fuel contaminates the land and groundwater. Do not allow the leaking gasoline from the tank!
