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

GP 3800A Safety Information

wc_si000233gb.fm 9

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.

1.3 Operating Safety

Operator qualifications

Only trained personnel are permitted to start, operate, and shut down

the machine. They also must meet the following qualifications:

• have received instruction on how to properly use the machine

• are familiar with required safety devices

The machine must not be accessed or operated by:

• children

• people impaired by alcohol or drugs

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Wear the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while

operating this machine:

• Close-fitting work clothes that do not hinder movement

• Safety glasses with side shields

• Hearing protection

• Safety-toed footwear

BACKFEED FROM THE GENERATOR INTO THE PUBLIC POWER

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR

DEATH TO UTILITY WORKERS!

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.

Connections to a building’s electrical system must be made by a

qualified electrician and comply with all applicable laws and electrical

codes.

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.

fNEVER use a generator inside homes, 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.

fONLY use a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents.

These openings can pull in generator exhaust.

fEven when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS

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

fIf 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

poison.
