General Description - SDMO HX 3000 Manual De Uso

1.3.6 Filling with fuel
The fuel is highly flammable and its vapours are combustible.
Smoking, using a naked flame or producing sparks are forbidden while the fuel tank is being filled.
Filling should be carried out with the motor turned off. All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
Danger
Always place the generating set on a flat, level and horizontal surface to avoid fuel spillage from the tank onto the motor. Storage and
handling of petroleum products must be carried out in accordance with the law. Close the fuel tap (if fitted) each time the tank has
been filled. Fill the tank using a funnel, taking care not to spill any fuel. Then screw the petrol cap back on to the fuel tank as soon as
filling is complete. Never top up fuel when the generating set is in operation or hot.
1.3.7 Safety guidelines against burns
Never touch the motor or the silencer while the generating set is in operation, or when it has just stopped.
Warning
Hot oil burns, avoid contact with the skin. Check that the system is no longer pressurised before carrying out any procedures. Never
start or run the motor when the oil filler cap is off as oil may splash out.
1.3.8 Safety guidelines for handling batteries
Never place the battery close to a flame or fire
Use only insulated tools
Never use sulphuric acid or acid water to top up the electrolyte level.
Danger
1.3.9 Protecting the environment
Never drain or discard used oil onto the ground, but put it into a designated container. As far as possible, try to avoid sound
reverberating through walls and buildings, as the noise will be amplified. If the exhaust silencer of your generating set is not fitted
with a spark arrester and you need to use it in wooded, bushy or uncultivated areas, be extremely careful and make sure that sparks do
not cause a fire (clear vegetation from a fairly large area where you wish to place your generating set).
1.3.10 Danger of moving parts
Never go near a moving part that is in operation if you have loose clothing or long hair that is not enclosed in a
protective hair net. Do not try to stop, slow down or impede a moving part when it is in operation.
Warning
1.3.11 Capacity of the generating set (overload)
Never exceed the rated load of the generating set (in Amps and/or Watts) when it is running continuously.
Before connecting and operating the generating set, calculate the electrical power required by the electric appliances (in Watts). This
electrical power rating is usually found on the manufacturer's plate on bulbs, electrical appliances, motors etc. The sum total of power
required by these appliances should not exceed the nominal power rating of the generating set.
1.3.12 Operating conditions
The stated outputs of the generating sets are obtained in example conditions according to ISO 3046-1:
+27°C, 100 m above sea-level, humidity level equal to 60 % or
+20°C, 300 m above sea-level, humidity level equal to 60 %.
Performance is reduced by approximately 4 % for every additional 10°C and/or approximately 1 % for every additional 100 m in
altitude.
