User responsibility
Make sure that you know how to switch the generator off quickly in emergencies.
Ensure that you are aware of all options for operation and connections. Ensure that
everyone who operates the generator receives the correct instructions. Do not allow
the generator to be operated by children without appropriate supervision. Consult
the instructions in this manual for the use and maintenance of the generator. Not
following the instructions or following them incorrectly could lead to accidents such
as electrical shock and an increase in harmful exhaust fumes. Observe the
legislation and regulations that apply to the location where the generator is being
used. Petrol and oil are toxic. For use, follow the instructions of the relevant
manufacturer. Before use, place the generator on a sturdy, flat surface. Do not
open any covers while operating the generator. This could lead to accidents or
limbs becoming trapped. Consult your Eurom dealer for disassembly or
maintenance work that is not discussed in this manual.
A generator can create hazards that are not recognised by a layperson or, in
particular, children. Safe operation is only possible with adequate knowledge of the
function of the power generator.
Important safety warnings
1. Danger of carbon monoxide poisoning
Engine exhaust fumes are toxic. Exhaust fumes contain toxic carbon monoxide
– a gas that is colourless and odourless. Inhaling it can lead to
unconsciousness or death. If you operate the generator in a (partially) closed
area, the amount of toxic exhaust fumes in the air may become dangerous.
Never run the generator in a garage, residence or the vicinity of open windows
or doors.
Only use the generator outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.
When installing in properly ventilated areas, additional measures must be
taken for fire and explosion protection.
2. Petrol is flammable and can ignite easily.
Do not refuel while in operation. First allow the engine to cool down after use
before refuelling.
Do no refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of naked flames.
Do not spill any fuel – especially not on hot components, such as the exhaust
or engine. If fuel is spilled, carefully remove the spilled fuel before starting the
engine.
Fill the tank in a well-ventilated area and with the engine switched off.
3. If you swallow fuel, breathe in fuel fumes or get fuel in your eyes, consult a
doctor immediately. If you spill fuel on your skin or clothing, wash it off with
soap and water immediately and change your clothes.
4. Ensure that the device remains upright during operation and transport. If it
tilts, fuel may leak from the carburettor or the fuel tank.
5. Only fill the fuel tank with unleaded petrol.
6. Do not use any starter sprays.
7. Some components of the combustion engine are hot and could cause
burns. Pay attention to the warnings on the power generator.
