⚠️ Risk
The product poses a risk of :1. electric shock, because:- the live components of the electrical conductors are easily accessible,- the electrical conductors are not sufficiently insulated, - the circuit breaker installed is not suitable for this generator;2. fire, because when the generator is switched off to be refuelled after operation, the exhaust temperature is still higher than 230°C. Given the ignition temperature of petrol (200-300°C), there is a potential danger of ignition and skin burns. The product does not comply with the Machinery Directive (98/37/EC), the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the relevant European standards EN 12601 and EN 60204.
