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.

f NEVER use a generator inside homes, buildings, 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.

f ONLY use a generator outside, and far away from homes, buildings, windows,

doors, and vents. Windows, doors, and vents can pull in generator exhaust.

f Point the engine exhaust away from homes, buildings, windows, doors, and

vents. Also, point the engine exhaust away from combustible materials.

f Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home or build-

ing. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home or

building.

f 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

poisoning.

1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use

This machine is a portable electric power source. The Wacker Neuson Portable

Generator consists of a tubular steel frame surrounding a fuel tank, a gasoline

engine, a control panel, and an electric alternator. The control panel includes

controls and receptacles. As the engine runs, the generator converts mechanical

energy into electric power. The operator connects loads to the electric power

receptacles.

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 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

 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 techniques

To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the

safety information presented in this manual before operating the machine.

GP/GPS 5600A Safety Information

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.

Transporting

and installing

the machine

 Never allow untrained personnel to operate or service the generator. The

generator set should be set up by a certified electrician.

 Do not stand under the machine while it is being hoisted or moved.

 Do not attach equipment to the machine when it is suspended.

 Always transport the generator in an upright position.

 Always position and operate the generator on a firm, noncombustible, level

surface.

 Always make certain the machine is well-grounded and securely fastened to a

good earthen ground per national and local regulations.

 Always remove all tools, cords, and other loose items from the generator before

starting it.

General

Safety

 Do not operate the generator when open containers of fuel, paint, or other

flammable liquids are near.

 Do not operate the generator, or tools attached to the generator, with wet hands.

 Do not run the electrical cords under the generator, or over vibrating or hot

parts.

 Do not enclose or cover the generator when it is in use or when it is hot.

 Do not overload the generator. The total amperage of the tools and equipment

attached to the generator must not exceed the load rating of the generator.

 Do not operate the machine in snow, rain, or standing water.

 Do not stand on the machine.

Generator

vibration

Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the generator, inspect

the generator as well as extension cords and power supply cords connected to it

for damage from vibration.

 Have damaged items repaired or replaced as necessary.

 Do not use plugs or or cords that show signs of damage such as broken or

cracked insulation or damaged blades.

WARNING

Backfeed from the generator into the public power distribution system can cause

serious injury or death to utility workers!

f Connections to a building’s electrical system must be made by a qualified elec-

trician and comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
