Guidelines for Protecting the Environment
Drain the engine oil into a designated container: never drain or discard engine oil onto the ground.
As far as possible, avoid sound reverberating through walls or buildings (the noise will be amplified).
If the unit is used in wooded, bushy or uncultivated areas and if the exhaust silencer is not fitted with a spark arrester, clear any
vegetation away from the area and take care that the sparks do not cause a fire. Once the unit is no longer being used (end of
product life), take it to a waste collection point.
2.4
Risks Relating to Exhaust Gases
DANGER
RISK OF POISONING
DANGER OF DEATH
The carbon monoxide present in the exhaust gas may lead to death by inhalation if the concentration
levels in the atmosphere are too high.
Always use the unit in a well ventilated area where the gases cannot accumulate.
For safety reasons and for correct operation of the unit, correct ventilation is essential (risk of poisoning, engine overheating and
accidents involving, or damage to, the surrounding equipment and property). If it is necessary to operate it inside a building, the
exhaust gases must be evacuated outside and adequate ventilation must be provided so that any people or animals present are not
affected.

Risk of Fire
RISK OF FIRE
DANGER
DANGER OF DEATH
Never operate the unit in areas containing flammable products (risk of sparks). Keep all flammable or
explosive materials (e.g. petrol, oil, cloth, etc.) out of the way when unit is running. Never cover the unit
with any type of material while it is in operation or just after it has been turned off: always wait until the
engine cools down (at least 30 minutes).
2.7
Risk of Burns
IMPORTANT
Before any intervention, wait for the unit to cool down (at least 30 minutes).
When running and just after stopping, the oil, engine and the exhaust silencer are hot and may cause burns if contact is made.
Never operate the unit with heat shields or guards removed. Do not modify the unit. Place the unit in a place where pedestrians or
children are not likely to touch it. Be sure to carry the unit only by its carrying handles. Wait until the unit cools down before any
manipulation, transport or intervention.
2.8
Risk of Hearing Loss
DANGER
RISK OF HEARING LOSS
Suitable hearing protection must be worn at all times when the unit is running.
2.9
Risks During Handling Operations, Use and Maintenance
For safety reasons, all operations must be carried out by staff with the necessary skills and using suitable equipment.
Maintenance must be carried out regularly and properly using only original parts. Personal protective equipment must be
used.
Safety guidelines for handling petroleum products (fuel, oil, coolant):
The fluids used by the units are dangerous products. Respect the local regulations in force concerning
DANGER
the handling of petroleum products.
RISK OF POISONING
Never inhale or ingest; avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin. Use personal protective
equipment when working on the unit (gloves, shoes, glasses, appropriate clothing). If petroleum
products are exposed to high temperatures for a period of several hours (containers or generating set
stored in a vehicle parked in the sun, for example), harmful vapors could be released causing a risk of
poisoning or discomfort.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Fill up with fluids when the unit is switched off and the engine cold. Smoking, using a naked flame,
producing sparks and making telephone calls are forbidden when filling with fluids. Always make sure
the cap is properly closed after filling. Clean any traces of fluid with a clean cloth and wait until the
vapors have dispersed before starting the unit.
