Informació de seguretat

ADVERTÈNCIA: Perill de monòxid de carboni

Generators produce carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Operating a generator indoors or in partially enclosed spaces can cause serious injury or death. ALWAYS operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area, far away from windows, doors, and vents.

Your WEN DF8000X generator is equipped with a CO Watchdog Shutdown Sensor. This sensor is designed to automatically shut down the generator if dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are detected. While this feature enhances safety, it is not a substitute for proper ventilation and safe operating practices. Always use a battery-operated CO alarm in your home or RV when operating a generator nearby.

Precaucions generals de seguretat:

• Llegiu tot el manual abans de fer servir.
• Mantingueu els nens i les mascotes lluny del generador.
• No feu funcionar el generador sota la pluja o en condicions humides.
• Assegureu-vos de posar a terra correctament el generador.
• No ompliu mai de combustible un motor calent o en marxa. Deixeu que el generador es refredi abans d'afegir combustible.
• Emmagatzemar el combustible en recipients homologats en una zona ben ventilada i allunyat de fonts d'ignició.
• No sobrecarregueu el generador.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating or maintaining the generator.
