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 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
