11.6 Starting and stopping the generators
11.6.1 Starting the generator
Warning!: Automatic start
Danger for life! - The generator can be equipped with a automa-
tik start device. This means the generator can be started by an
external signal. To avoid an unexpected starting of the genera-
tor, the starter battery must be disconected before start wor-
king at the generator.

2. Press button „heat“ (preglow engine).
LED for "heat“ = orange.
Depending upon engine type and execution pre-heating
can be necessary. Pre-heat is necessary at an operating
temperature <20°C.

3. Press button „start“ (start engine).
LED for "start“ = green.
The electric starter may only be used for a maximum of 20
seconds. Thereafter, a pause of at least, 60 seconds is
required. If the genset does not immediately start, then
the fuel intake should be checked to ensure it is flowing
freely. (For temperatures below - 8°C check whether there
is winter fuel)
4. Switch on load.
The load should only be switched on if the generator
voltage is within the permissible range. Parallel connec-
tion of several loads should be avoided, especially if there
are loads with electric motors, such as air-conditioning
units in the system. In this case, the load must be connec-
ted Step by Step.
