Before operating the machine, it is important to read the complete operator’s manual to ensure safe usage. Follow these steps:
-
Download the operator’s manual in your language from the provided website or using a QR code reader.
-
Carefully read and understand the manual to familiarize yourself with the operation and maintenance procedures.
-
Ensure that all safety and information labels on the equipment are present and legible. Replace any missing or illegible labels.
-
Refer to the parts book for item numbers mentioned on labels.
-
Take note of the warning symbols used in the safety information guideline, which include DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTICE.
These symbols indicate different levels of hazards that should be followed to prevent danger to life, limb, or equipment. -
Pay attention to the specific warnings mentioned on the labels.
For example, the DANGER label indicates the danger of suffocation due to carbon monoxide emissions from the engine. It is important not to run the machine indoors or in enclosed areas, even if doors and windows are open. Only use the machine outdoors and away from windows, doors, and aeration. -
Read through the operator’s manual thoroughly to understand all safety precautions and operating instructions.
-
Ensure that no sparks, flames, or burning objects are permitted near the machine.
-
Always stop the engine before refueling.
-
Be cautious of hot surfaces and avoid direct contact.
-
If required, connect the grounding cable from the grounding rod to the designated PE (Potential Grounding) point.
-
Be aware of the hazards associated with using the generator in buildings. Carbon monoxide (CO) emissions can be deadly, even if they are not detectable by smell. Avoid inhalation of exhaust fumes and ensure proper ventilation.
-
Incorrect connection of the generator to a building’s mains supply can lead to electric shock, serious injury, or death.
Exercise caution and follow proper connection procedures.

and procedures for the safe. Carefully reading, understanding and observing is
an aid to avoiding hazards.
Unlike the operator’s manual the “safety information guideline” doesn’t
provide specific indication about the way how the PRAMAC machine should be
operated and maintained, but only underlines the possible hazards connected to
these activities and indicates how to protect the user from them.
Warning symbols
This safety information guideline contains safety information of the
categories: DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, NOTICE.
Theyshould be followed to prevent danger to life and limb of the operator or
damage to equipment and exclude improper service.

Safety and information labels
There are labels on your equipment that contain important information and safety instructions.
- Keep all labels legible.
- Replace missing or illegible labels.
The item numbers on the labels can be found in the parts book.

Hazards tables
KIND OF HAZARD| ****
HAZARD DESCRIPTION
| INVOLVED ACTIVITIES| ****
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
---|---|---|---
**Danger| Carbon monoxide.**
The application of a generator in buildings can
LEAD TO DEATH WITHIN MINUTES.
The exhaust fumes from the generator contain carbon monoxide (CO). This is an invisible odorless poison. If the exhaust fumesof the generator can be smelled, CO is being inhaled. Even if no exhaust fumes can be smelled, CO could still be being inhaled.
| ****
operating
| – NEVER use the generator in buildings, garages, crawl spaces or other partially enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide can build up to deadly levels in these areas. A fan or open window does NOT provide sufficient fresh air.
– ONLY use generators outdoors and far away from windows, doors and aeration. These openings can draw in generator exhaust fumes.
– CO can penetrate into a home, even if a generator is used properly. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
– IMMEDIATELY get to fresh air if you feel unwell, dizzy or weak after using the
generator. Consult a physician. It could be carbon monoxide poisoning.
**Warning| Electric shock or risk of fire or explosion.** Incorrect connection of the generator to a building’s mains supply can lead to current being lead from the generator back into the power supply system. This can cause electric shock, serious injury or death of the worker in
the public utility company!
| ****
starting, operating
| – The generator must meet the prerequisites with regard to performance, voltage and frequency of the equipment.
– The generator must be disconnected from the electric power supply.
– Connections from the generator to the power supply system of a building must be established by a licensed electrician.
-The electrical connections must meet all laws and electrical regulations.
**Warning| Prerequisites for safe operation are familiarity with the machine and proper training. Machines that are incorrectly operated or that are operated by untrained personnel may pose a danger. Read through the operating instructions in the operator’s manual and in the engine manual to make yourself familiar with the job and the proper use of the operator’s controls.| **
general use
| Only trained personnel may start, operate and
switch off the machine. The personnel must also have the following qualifications:
– be trained in the correct operation of the machine
– be familiar with the necessary safety devices Access to the machine and operation of the machine is not permitted for:
-Children
-People under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
Specific personal protective clothing (PPE) is to be worn when operating this machine, read operator’s manual for detailed information about PPE before operating the machine.
**Warning| Carelessly maintained**
machines can pose dangers! Regular maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary to ensure the safe and correct functioning over longer time periods.
| ****
general use
| Follow the period maintenance schedule and the general maintenance prescriptions listed in the operator’s manual.
If problems should occur with the generator or while the machine is being maintained, always attach a “DO NOT START” sign to the control panel in order to alert others of this.
**Caution| The mid-point (neutral) conductor of this equipment is not grounded. Do not drive the PE rod into the ground under normal operating conditions.**
Refer to the local regulations if the equipment is intended to power a building or similar system.
| ****
electrical connection
| For generator sets that are to supply a facility in a TT network, or if
residual current protection is required in the TT network, or if this
equipment must be used for additional protection due to conditions or
regulations, only 30 mA residual current protective switches may be used as
protective devices. The 30 mA residual current protective switch must be
installed ON the generator set itself, but at least on the nearest possible
position in relation to the generator set. Only with this type of installation
is it allowed and necessary to establish the ground connection of the
generator framework via the point provided on the frame.

Warning|
Damaged cables may cause electric shock , which can lead to serious injury or death.
| ****
operating
| NEVER use worn, bare or frayed cables.
Replace damaged cables immediately. Never exceed the cable’s rated power.
Contact the cable manufacturer if you have questions about using the cable.
Warning|

– Do not refuel the engine near sparks or open flames.
– Do not refuel the machine while it is on plastic- coated surfaces of pick- ups. Static electricity can ignite the fuel or fuel vapors.
Warning
| ****
The exhaust will become very hot during operation and also remains hot for a while after the engine is switched off.
| ****
operating, maintenance
| – Do not touch the engine or the muffler while
the engine is running or shortly after switching the engine off.
