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.

1.3 Operating Safety

Operator

training

Before operating the machine:

Read and understand the operating instructions contained in all manuals

delivered with the machine.

Familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all controls and safety

devices.

Contact Wacker Neuson for additional training if necessary.

When operating this machine:

Do not allow improperly trained people to operate the machine. People

operating the machine must be familiar with the potential risks and hazards

associated with it.

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

Application

area

Be aware of the application area.

Keep unauthorized personnel, children, and pets away from the machine.

Remain aware of changing positions and the movement of other equipment and

personnel in the application area/job site.

Be aware of the application area.

Do not operate the machine in areas that contain flammable objects, fuels, or

products that produce flammable vapors.

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.

Safety Information GP 4000

Safety

devices,

controls, and

attachments

Only operate the machine when:

All safety devices and guards are in place and in working order.

All controls operate correctly.

The machine is set up correctly according to the instructions in the Operator’s

Manual.

The machine is clean.

The machine’s labels are legible.

To ensure safe operation of the machine:

Do not operate the machine if any safety devices or guards are missing or

inoperative.

Do not modify or defeat the safety devices.

Only use accessories or attachments that are approved by Wacker Neuson.

Safe

operating

practices

When operating this machine:

Remain aware of the machine’s moving parts. Keep hands, feet, and loose

clothing away from the machine’s moving parts.

When operating this machine:

Do not operate a machine in need of repair.

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

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.

WARNING

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

serious injury or death to utility workers!

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

trician and comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
