3.2 Description and purpose of the machine
This machine is a portable power source. The portable generator from PRAMAC
consists of a frame, which includes a fuel tank, a gasoline engine, a control panel
and an electrical alternator. The control panel contains controls and bushings.
When the engine is running, the generator converts the mechanical energy into
electrical energy. The operator connects electronic loads to the mains sockets.
This machine is used for the electric power supply of connected electric loads. See
the product specificationsfor output voltage andfrequency of thegenerator as well
as the maximum power limitation of this generator.
This machine was designed and built exclusively for the afore mentioned purpose.
Use of the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the machine
or cause serious injury to the operator or other persons in the vicinity. Machine
damage due to misuse is not covered by the warranty.
The following practices are considered misuse:
Connection to an electric load whose voltage and frequency are not
compatible with the generator output
Overloading the generator with a load that takes too much power during
continuous operation or when starting
Operating the generator in a manner that is inconsistent with the national,
statewide and local standards and regulations
Use of the machine as a ladder, support or working surface
Operation of the machine to carry or transport people or equipment
Operation of the machine outside of the plant specifications
Operation of the machine contrary to warning notices attached to the
machine and contained in the operator's manual.
This machine was designed and built according to the latest global safety
standards. In order to eliminate dangers as much as possible, it was technically
designed with great care and contains protective side plates and warning labels for
an increased safety of the operator. Additional risks may exist despite these
protective measures. These are designated as residual risks. Possible residual
risks with this machine:
Heat, noise, exhaust and carbon monoxide from the engine
Risk of fire due to incorrect refueling procedure
Gasoline or gasoline vapors
Electric shock and arc discharge
Injury due to incorrect hoisting technology
For your own protection and the protection of other people, make sure that the
safety instructions in this manual have been closely read and understood before
starting the machine.
3 Safety Regulations

3.3 Operational safety
DANGER
Carbon monoxide.
The application of a generator in buildings can
LEAD TO DEATH WITHIN MINUTES.
The exhaust fumes from the generator contain carbon monoxide (CO). This is an
invisible odorless poison. If the exhaust fumes of the generator can be smelled,
CO is being inhaled. Even if no exhaust fumes can be smelled, CO could still be
being inhaled.
NEVER use the generator in buildings, garages, crawl spaces or other
partially enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide can build up to deadly levels in
these areas. A fan or open window does NOT provide sufficient fresh air.
ONLY use generators outdoors and far away from windows, doors and
aeration. These openings can draw in generator exhaust fumes.
CO can penetrate into a home, even if a generator is used properly. ALWAYS
use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
IMMEDIATELY get to fresh air if you feel unwell, dizzy or weak after using
the generator. Consult a physician. It could be carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
Electric shock or risk of fire or explosion. Incorrect connection of the generator to
a building's mains supply can lead to current being lead from the generator back
into the power supply system. This cancause electric shock, serious injuryor death
of the worker in the public utility company!
The following connection prerequisites are to be met.
