Informació de seguretat
ADVERTIMENT: Operating a generator can be hazardous. Always follow safety precautions to prevent serious injury or death.
- Perill de monòxid de carboni: Els generadors produeixen monòxid de carboni, un gas incolor, inodor i verinós. Feu funcionar el generador només a l'aire lliure, lluny de finestres, portes i reixetes de ventilació. No el feu funcionar mai a l'interior ni en espais parcialment tancats.
- Perill de descàrrega elèctrica: 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.
- Perill d'incendi: 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.
- Superfícies calentes: El motor i el silenciador del generador s'escalfen molt durant el funcionament i romanen calents durant un temps després de l'apagada. Eviteu el contacte per evitar cremades.
- Parts mòbils: Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from moving parts to prevent entanglement and injury.
- Nens i animals de companyia: Mantingueu els nens i les mascotes lluny del generador en tot moment.
