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.
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.
