ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
- A leaking exhaust silencer may cause an increase in the noise level of the generator set.
To ensure its efficiency, examine the exhaust silencer regularly.
- Never drain or dispose of oil on the ground, but in a container provided for this purpose
(petrol stations can retrieve used oil).
- Take care to prevent, whenever possible, sound reverberation on the walls or other struc-
tures: the volume will be amplified. If the exhaust silencer of your generator set is not
equipped with a spark arrester and is to be used in wooded, bushy areas or on unfarmed
grassy land, take great care and ensure that sparks do not cause a fire (clear a relatively
wide area at the site on which your generator set is to be placed).
GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Before use, it is necessary to know how to shut down the generator immediately and to
understand all the controls and operations perfectly.
- Never allow other people to use the generator set without giving them the necessary
instructions beforehand.
- Never allow a child to touch the generator set, even when shut down. Avoid running the
generator set in the presence of animals (agitation, fright, etc.).
- Never start up the motor without the air filter or exhaust.
- Never cover the generator set with any material during operation or just after it has been
shut down (wait until the motor has cooled).
- Never apply a fine coat of oil to the generator set in order to protect it against rust.
- In any case, observe the applicable local regulations relating to generator sets before
using your own.
