2. Instrucciones de seguridad

Always follow these safety precautions to reduce the risk of injury, electric shock, fire, and property damage.

2.1 Seguridad general

• Lea el manual: Ensure you have read and understood all instructions before operating the generator.
• Solo para uso en exteriores: Operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never operate indoors or in enclosed spaces, as exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is deadly.
• Seguridad del combustible:
  • Almacene el combustible en recipientes aprobados en un área bien ventilada, lejos de fuentes de ignición.
  • Do not refuel while the engine is running or hot. Allow the generator to cool down before refueling.
  • Avoid spilling fuel. If spilled, wipe it up immediately and ensure the area is dry before starting the generator.
• Seguridad eléctrica:
  • No opere el generador en condiciones húmedas ni lo exponga a la lluvia.
  • Asegúrese de que todas las conexiones eléctricas estén seguras y en buenas condiciones.
  • Do not overload the generator. Refer to the specifications for maximum wattage.
  • Use only grounded extension cords and appliances.
• Superficies calientes: El motor y el silenciador del generador se calientan mucho durante el funcionamiento y permanecen calientes durante un tiempo después de apagarlo. Evite el contacto con superficies calientes.
• Niños y mascotas: Mantenga a los niños y las mascotas alejados del generador durante su funcionamiento.

2.2 Protección contra sobrecarga

The generator is equipped with overload protection to prevent damage to the unit and connected devices. If the generator is overloaded, the overload indicator light will illuminate, and power output will cease. Reduce the load by disconnecting some appliances before restarting the generator.
