1. Introdución

Este manual proporciona información esencial para o funcionamento, mantemento e resolución de problemas seguros e eficientes do seu Champion Power Equipment 8500-Watt Electric Start Portable Inverter Generator. Please read this manual thoroughly before operating the generator to ensure proper use and to prevent injury or damage.

2. Información de seguridade

ADVERTENCIA: Perigo de monóxido de carbono

Generators produce carbon monoxide (CO), an odorless, colorless, and poisonous gas. Operating a generator indoors or in partially enclosed spaces can lead to serious injury or death. ALWAYS operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area, far away from windows, doors, and vents of occupied buildings. Ensure exhaust is directed away from people and buildings.

Your generator is equipped with CO Shield technology, an automatic shut-off system that detects unsafe elevated levels of carbon monoxide gas and automatically shuts off the engine. While CO Shield provides added protection, it is not a substitute for safe operation or an indoor carbon monoxide alarm.

Seguridade de combustible:

• Gasoline is highly flammable. Always refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool.
• Non enche demasiado o depósito de combustible.
• Store fuel in approved containers and away from ignition sources.

Seguridade eléctrica:

• Non faga funcionar o xerador en condicións húmidas.
