Sikkerhedsoplysninger

ADVARSEL: Operating a generator can be hazardous. Always follow safety precautions to prevent serious injury or death.

  • Kuliltefare: Generatorer producerer kulilte, en farveløs, lugtfri, giftig gas. Brug kun generatoren udendørs, langt væk fra vinduer, døre og ventilationsåbninger. Brug den aldrig indendørs eller i delvist lukkede rum.
  • Fare for elektrisk stød: Do not operate the generator in wet conditions. Ensure all electrical connections are dry and secure. Never connect the generator directly to your home's electrical system without a transfer switch installed by a qualified electrician.
  • Brandfare: Gasoline and propane are highly flammable. Refuel only when the engine is off and cool. Store fuel in approved containers in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources. Do not smoke near the generator or fuel.
  • Varme overflader: Generatormotoren og lyddæmperen bliver meget varme under drift og forbliver varme i et stykke tid efter nedlukning. Undgå kontakt for at forhindre forbrændinger.
  • Bevægelige dele: Hold hænder, fødder, hår og tøj væk fra bevægelige dele for at forhindre sammenfiltring og skader.
  • Børn og kæledyr: Hold altid børn og kæledyr væk fra generatoren.

Opretholdelse

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and reliable operation of your generator. Always ensure the generator is off and cool before performing any maintenance.

  • Olieskift: Skift motorolien efter de første 20 timers drift, derefter hver 50-100 timer eller årligt, alt efter hvad der kommer først.
  • Luftfilter: Inspicer og rengør luftfilteret hver 50. time eller oftere i støvede forhold. Udskift det, hvis det er beskadiget.
  • Tændrør: Inspect the spark plug annually or every 100 hours. Clean or replace as needed to ensure proper ignition.
  • Brændstofsystem: If storing the generator for an extended period, drain the gasoline fuel tank and carburetor, or use a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation.
