5. Linee guida di sicurezza

PERICOLO: L'uso di un generatore in ambienti chiusi PUÒ UCCIDERTI IN POCHI MINUTI. I gas di scarico del generatore contengono monossido di carbonio. Si tratta di un veleno invisibile e inodore.

• Solo per uso esterno: NEVER use the generator inside a home, garage, or any enclosed space, even if doors and windows are open. Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.
• Posizionamento corretto: Maintain a minimum distance of 5 feet (1.5m) from all objects.
• Sicurezza nel rifornimento: Do not fill the fuel tank above the lip or while the engine is running. Always allow room for fuel expansion.
• Superfici calde: The generator's exhaust and engine components become very hot during operation. Avoid contact to prevent burns.
• Leggi il manuale: Always read and understand the entire owner's manual before operating the generator to ensure safe and proper use.
