Safety Information
1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a mobile electric power source. The Wacker Neuson Mobile
Generator consists of a trailer-mounted cabinet containing an electric alternator, a
fuel tank, and a diesel engine. A control panel, receptacles, and connection lugs
are provided on the side of the cabinet. As the engine runs, the generator converts
mechanical energy into electric power. The operator connects loads to the electric
power receptacles and connection lugs.
This machine is intended for the purpose of supplying electrical power to
connected loads. Refer to the product specifications for the output voltage and
frequency of this generator, and for the maximum output power limit of this
generator.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the
machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons in the area. Machine
damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
Connecting a load that has voltage and frequency requirements that are
incompatible with the generator output
Overloading the generator with a load that draws excessive power during either
continuous running or start-up
Operating the generator in a manner that is inconsistent with all federal, state
and local codes and regulations
Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
Using the machine to tow other machines
Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the
machine and in the Operator’s Manual
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest global
safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far as
practicable and to increase operator safety through protective guards and labeling.
However, some risks may remain even after protective measures have been taken.
They are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:
Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine
Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques
Fuel and its fumes
Electric shock and arc flash
Personal injury from improper lifting the trailer tongue
Typical hazards related to towing a trailer on roads and highways
To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the
safety information presented in this manual before operating the machine.

1.5 Operator Safety while Using Internal Combustion Engines
Operating
safety
When running the engine:
Keep the area around exhaust pipe free of flammable materials.
Check the fuel lines and the fuel tank for leaks and cracks before starting the
engine. Do not run the machine if fuel leaks are present or the fuel lines are
loose.
When running the engine:
Do not smoke while operating the machine.
Do not run the engine near sparks or open flames.
Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is running or immediately
after it has been turned off.
Do not operate a machine when its fuel cap is loose or missing.
Do not start the engine if fuel has spilled or a fuel odor is present. Move the
machine away from the spill and wipe the machine dry before starting.
Refueling
safety
When refueling the engine:
Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.
Refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.
Re-install the fuel tank cap after refueling.
Use suitable tools for refueling (for example, a fuel hose or funnel).
When refueling the engine:
Do not smoke.
Do not refuel a hot or running engine.
Do not refuel the engine near sparks or open flames.
WARNING
Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling.
Failure to follow the warnings and safety standards could result in severe injury or
death.
Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine owner’s manual and the
safety guidelines below.
DANGER
Exhaust gas from the engine contains carbon monoxide, a deadly poison.
Exposure to carbon monoxide can kill you in minutes.
NEVER operate the machine inside an enclosed area, such as a tunnel, unless
adequate ventilation is provided through such items as exhaust fans or hoses.

1.6 Safety Guidelines for Mobile Generators
Installing as
backup power
Special hazards exist when installing this machine as a backup power supply.
Improper connection of generator to a building’s electrical system can allow
electrical current from the generator to backfeed into utility lines. This may result in
electrocution of utility workers, fire, or explosion.
If connected to a building’s electrical system, the generator must meet the power,
voltage, and frequency requirements of the equipment in the building. Differences
in power, voltage, and frequency requirements may exist and improper connection
may lead to equipment damage, fire, and personal injury or death.
DANGER
Carbon monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains 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 cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly
enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.
ONLY use a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents.
These openings can pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS
use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running,
move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide
poison.
WARNING
Electrocution hazard. Machines that generate electric power present special
hazards while the engine is running. These include the risk of electrocution or
severe electrical shock.
Read and follow the instructions in this Operator’s Manual.
WARNING
Backfeed from the generator into the public power distribution system can cause
serious injury or death to utility workers!
Connections to a building’s electrical system must be made by a qualified elec-
trician and comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
