General guidelines
Generating sets in the general public (non-professional) range are reserved solely for domestic use; they should not be used for
professional work.
Never let other people use the generating set without having given them all the necessary instructions beforehand. Never allow a
child to touch the generating set, even when switched off, and do not operate the generating set when animals are in the vicinity
(fear, disturbance, etc.).
In all cases, respect the local regulations currently in place concerning the use of generating sets. Exhaust gases, fuel and oil are
toxic products, take all necessary protective measures.
2.3
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 generating set 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 generating set is no longer
being used (end of product life), take it to a waste collection point.
Read this manual and the safety instructions also provided carefully before use. Keep them safe
throughout the generating set's service life and always adhere to the safety advice and the usage
and maintenance instructions contained in them.
