 Useful tips for owners of generators: how to use and what nuances are important to take into account

The generator must be used outdoors, placing it no closer than six meters from buildings, to avoid the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning .

Particular care should be taken to ensure that the generator is dry, as ingress of moisture can cause electric shock.

Also, when refueling the generator, it is important to allow it time to cool down. Spilled fuel on hot parts can cause ignition.

Another critical aspect — never connect a generator directly to an electrical outlet or connect several generators in a single circuit, as this increases the risk of accidents.

Purchase a fire extinguisher early and keep it nearby, and install carbon monoxide detectors to respond in a timely manner for possible problems.
