• To prevent fire hazards and to keep the generator in an efficient
working condition, do not close the same in a case or an enclosed
space such as an alcove but install it in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep children and animals away from the generator when it is
running, as it can heat up and cause burns and injuries, both
directly and through the systems it is supplying.
• Learn how to turn the generator off quickly and how to use the
controls. Never leave the generator in the hands of people who
are not trained to use it.
• The generator must only be used with the generator door clo-
sed.
• Keep flammable substances away from the generator such as for
example: petrol, paints, solvents etc.
• Make sure that the hot parts of the generator do not come into
contact with materials that could catch fire
.
• Fill the generator with fuel in a well-ventilated area with the gene-
rator turned off. Petrol is highly flammable and can explode.
• Never overfill the fuel tank. There should not be fuel in the tank
filling throat. Check that the cap is tightly closed.
• If you spill any fuel, clean it up thoroughly and wait for the fumes
to evaporate before starting the engine.
The company Dometic is not responsible for any damage caused by
generator malfunctions.
1.3 Safety
The generator is installed in a closed casing. Therefore, there is no dan-
ger of accidental contacts with moving parts or wires under voltage.
The door is fitted with a key lock which shall be kept out of reach by
children or non-authorised people.
Warning
• Check the generator before using it every time. In this way it is
possible to prevent accidents or damage to the motor.
• Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an extremely poisonous
gas, which is odourless and colourless. Avoid inhaling exhaust
gases. Do not run the engine of the generator in a closed garage
or room without very good ventilations.
• Do not touch the generator or the connections with wet hands.
• Do not replace fuses or thermal cutouts with others of a higher
amperage.
• Any checks carried out on the electric parts should be done by
authorised personnel with the engine turned off.
• Install the generator in a stable area. Do not incline the generator
by more than 20° with respect to the vertical plane.
• Sudden braking or acceleration, or curves taken abruptly with the
vehicle can cause problems in the pumping system of the generator
and make it stall.
• When storing the generator up for a long period of time, start it
at least once every 30 days and leave it running for at least 15
minutes.
• Leave the generator on for a few minutes without charge after use
before switching it off.
The generator is made to meet the safety regulations indicated in the
declaration of conformity.
