Before starting the generator and before starting any
lubrication or maintenance operation, it is indispensa-
ble for the staff responsible to read and understand all
the WARNINGS and all the CAUTION and DANGER
indications listed in this manual and in the supplemen-
tary documentation furnished.
Nevertheless, the manufacturer cannot foresee all the
possible circumstances which may lead to potential
risks in the effective conditions of use of the generator.
Any operations and/or procedures for maintenance not
expressly recommended or indicated in the user manu-
als must always be notified to and approved by the manu-
facturer.
In the event that a procedure not specifically recom-
mended needs to be applied, the user is responsible for
assuring that such procedure is safe and does not cause
harm to persons or things.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage
to persons or things deriving from inobservance of the
safety regulations.

chine and respect the relevant instructions.

equate training to use the generator.

generator when it is in operation.
