3 Safety Regulations100_0402_si_0003.fm 93.2 Description and purpose of the machineThis machine is a portable power source. The portable generator fromWacker Neuson consists of a steel pipe frame, which includes a fuel tank, agasoline engine, a control panel and an electrical alternator. The control panelcontains controls and bushings. When the engine is running, the generator con-verts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. The operator connects elec-tronic loads to the mains sockets.This machine is used for the electric power supply of connected electronic loads.See the product specifications for output voltage and frequency of the generatoras well as the maximum power limitation of this generator.This machine was designed and built exclusively for the aforementioned purpo-se. Use of the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage themachine or cause serious injury to the operator or other persons in the vicinity.Machine damage due to misuse is not covered by the warranty.The following practices are considered misuse: Connection to an electronic load whose voltage and frequency are not com-patible with the generator output Overloading the generator with a load that takes too much power during con-tinuous operation or when starting Operating the generator in a manner that is inconsistent with the national,statewide and local standards and regulations Use of the machine as a ladder, support or working surface Operation of the machine to carry or transport people or equipment Operation of the machine outside of the plant specifications Operation of the machine contrary to warning notices attached to the machi-ne and contained in the operator's manual.This machine was designed and built according to the latest global safety stan-dards. In order to eliminate dangers as much as possible, it was technically de-signed with great care and contains protective side plates and warning labels foran increased safety of the operator. Additional risks may exist despite these pro-tective measures. These are designated as residual risks. Possible residual riskswith this machine: Heat, noise, exhaust and carbon monoxide from the engine Risk of fire due to incorrect refueling procedure Gasoline or gasoline vapors Electric shock and arc discharge Injury due to incorrect hoisting technologyFor your own protection and the protection of other people, make sure that thesafety instructions in this manual have been closely read and understood beforestarting the machine.
