4.5 Safety Guidelines for Operating Generators
DANGER
Carbon monoxide hazard
Using a generator indoors can kill you in minutes. Generator exhaust con-
tains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison you cannot see or smell. If you
can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you can-
not smell the exhaust, you could still be breathing CO.
WARNING
Electrocution hazard
Generators present special hazards during operation and servicing. These
include the risk of electrocution or severe electrical shock. Failure to follow
the safety information below can result in severe injury or death.
Read and follow the safety instructions in this Operator’s Manual.
Contact the generator manufacturer for additional information regarding
the generator.
WARNING
Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation
and fueling.
Failure to follow the warnings and safety instructions could result in severe
injury or death.
Read and follow the safety instructions in this Operator’s Manual.
Contact the generator manufacturer for additional information regarding
the generator.
WARNING
Most used oil contains small amounts of materials that can cause cancer
and other health problems if inhaled, ingested, or left in contact with skin for
prolonged periods of time.
Take steps to avoid inhaling or ingesting used engine oil.
Wash skin thoroughly after exposure to used engine oil.
This machine is built with user safety in mind; however, like any electrical de-
vice it can present serious hazards if improperly operated and serviced. Fol-
low instructions carefully. Should questions arise during operation or service
of this equipment, contact your Wacker Neuson dealer.

General precautions
Keep a multi-class, type ABC or equivalent fire extinguisher at hand
when using the generator. Refer to NFPA No. 10 for further information
regarding fire extinguishers.
Do not use evaporative starting fluids. They are highly explosive.
Do not store items such as excess oil, oil rags, or tools within the gener-
ator compartment. Items stored within the generator compartment are a
fire hazard and can restrict cooling air.
Refueling safety
When adding fuel to the fuel tank:
Do not refuel a hot or running engine.
Keep sparks, flames, electrical arcs, and other sources of ignition far
away from the generator.
Refill the fuel tank only in a well-ventilated area.
Reinstall the fuel tank cap after refueling.
Do not smoke.
Maintenance safety
Only a trained technician should attempt to repair the generator.
Test procedures which require that the generator be running must be
performed using extreme caution.
Make sure clothing and shoes are dry, stand on a dry wooden platform
or rubber insulating mat, and use tools with insulated handles when ser-
vicing the generator.
Engine antifreeze is toxic to humans and animals. Clean up spills and
dispose of used engine antifreeze in accordance with local environmen-
tal regulations.
Make sure all fasteners are secure and torqued properly.
4.6 Service Safety
Machine modifications
When servicing or maintaining the machine:
Use only accessories/attachments that are approved by Wacker Neuson.
Do not disable safety devices.
Do not modify the machine without the express written approval of
Wacker Neuson.
