The Wacker Neuson PortableGenerator consists of a tubular steel frame surrounding a fuel tank, a gasolineengine, a control panel, and an electric alternator. The control panel includescontrols and receptacles. As the engine runs, the generator converts mechanicalenergy into electric power. The operator connects loads to the electric powerreceptacles.This machine is intended for the purpose of supplying electrical power toconnected loads. Refer to the product specifications for the output voltage andfrequency of this generator, and the maximum output power limit of this generator.This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use describedabove. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage themachine or seriously injure the operator or other persons in the area. Machinedamage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.The following are some examples of misuse: Connecting a load that has voltage and frequency requirements that areincompatible with the generator output Overloading the generator with a load that draws excessive power during eithercontinuous running or start-up Operating the generator in a manner that is inconsistent with all federal, stateand local codes and regulations Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment Operating the machine outside of factory specifications Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on themachine and in the Operator’s Manual.This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest globalsafety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far aspracticable and to increase operator safety through protective guards and labeling.However, some risks may remain even after protective measures have been taken.They are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to: Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques Fuel and its fumes Electric shock and arc flash Personal injury from improper lifting techniquesTo protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand thesafety information presented in this manual before operating the machine.
