Safety Information GV 7000A / 7003A12 wc_si000530gb.fm1.2 Machine Description and Intended UseThis machine is a portable electric power source. The WackerNeuson Portable Generator consists of a tubular steel framesurrounding a fuel tank, a gasoline engine, a control panel, and anelectric alternator. The control panel includes controls andreceptacles. As the engine runs, the generator converts mechanicalenergy into electric power. The operator connects loads to the electricpower receptacles.This machine is intended for the purpose of supplying electrical powerto connected loads. Refer to the product specifications for the outputvoltage and frequency of this generator, and the maximum outputpower limit of this generator.This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended usedescribed above. Using the machine for any other purpose couldpermanently damage the machine or seriously injure the operator orother persons in the area. Machine damage caused by misuse is notcovered under warranty.The following are some examples of misuse:• Connecting a load that has voltage and frequency requirementsthat are incompatible with the generator output• Overloading the generator with a load that draws excessivepower during either continuous running or start-up• Operating the generator in a manner that is inconsistent with allfederal, state and 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 warningsfound on the machine and in the Operator’s ManualThis machine has been designed and built in accordance with thelatest global safety standards. It has been carefully engineered toeliminate hazards as far as practicable and to increase operatorsafety through protective guards and labeling. However, some risksmay remain even after protective measures have been taken. Theyare called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposureto:• Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine• Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques• Fuel and its fumes• Electric shock and arc flash
