2. Informacje dotyczące bezpieczeństwa

Always read and understand the entire instruction manual before operating the generator. Failure to follow safety instructions can result in serious injury or death.

• Zagrożenie tlenkiem węgla: Generatory wytwarzają tlenek węgla, bezbarwny, bezwonny i trujący gaz. Używaj generatora wyłącznie na zewnątrz, z dala od okien, drzwi i otworów wentylacyjnych. Nigdy nie używaj go w pomieszczeniach zamkniętych ani w przestrzeniach częściowo zamkniętych.
• Ryzyko porażenia prądem elektrycznym: Do not operate the generator in wet conditions. Ensure all connections are dry and properly insulated. Use ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected outlets.
• Zagrożenie pożarem: Paliwo jest wysoce łatwopalne. Tankuj w dobrze wentylowanym pomieszczeniu, przy wyłączonym i chłodnym silniku. Nie pal i nie używaj otwartego ognia w pobliżu generatora. Przechowuj paliwo w atestowanych pojemnikach.
• Gorące powierzchnie: Engine and muffler components become extremely hot during operation and remain hot for a period after shutdown. Avoid contact to prevent burns.
• Ruchome części: Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from moving parts to prevent injury.
