Electrical safety
Electric supply cables and connected equipment
must be in perfect condition.
Do not connect the unit with other energy sources.
Do not connect the unit to home network.
Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit
breakers specially matched to the generating set. If
the circuit breakers require replacement they must
be replaced with a circuit breaker having identical
ratings and performance characteristics.
Due to high mechanical stresses only tough rubber-
sheathed flexible cable (in accordance with IEC 245-4)
or the equivalent should be used.
Extension cables (H07RN…) approved to be used out-
doors and properly marked to be used outdoors only.
Provide adequate grounding.
When using extension cables, their total length may
not exceed 50 m in respect of 1.5 mm2 and 100 m in
respect of 2.5 mm2.
Before start-up
Safe operation requires sufficient operator knowledge
of the functions and positions of the controls and
indicators or meters. Pay attention to the illustrated
pages in the front section of the manual.
The appliance should only be used when in a perfect
state. Carry out a visual inspection before swit-
ching the appliance on. Check especially the safety
equipment, electrical control elements, power lines
and screw couplings for any damage and if they
are tightened appropriately. Replace any damaged
parts before the appliance is put into operation if
necessary.
The unit may only be operated in the operating posi-
tion (flat surface) as fuel or oil may leak or lubrication
will no longer be provided.
Starting the engine
The unit is protected against low oil level. When the
oil level is too low, the unit cannot be started (oil
indicator turns on in case of attempted starting).
WARNING: When starting with the reserve starter, the
motor may recoil suddenly as it starts up, resulting in
hand injuries. Wear protective gloves when starting
the equipment.
Operation
Generating sets may only be loaded up to their rated
power under the rated ambient conditions.
The equipment must not get exposed to moisture or
dust. The allowed ambient temperature is from -10°C
to +40°C, height: 1,000 m above the sea level, relative
air humidity: 90% (non-condensing)
engine protection
The generator is fitted with an overload cut-out. This
isolates the relevant sockets if an overload occurs.
Important. If this happens, reduce the electric power
you are taking from the generator or remove any
defective connected appliances.
Always place the unit on a firm and flat surface! No
turning or tilting or moving during operation.
The unit must never be uncovered.
Turn the unit immediately off in the following cases:
• When the engine is running restlessly or unstably
• When the electrical power output has decreased
• When the connected appliance gets overheated
• Excessive vibrations of the unit
• Sparking
• When there is smoke or fire
• Abnormal vibrations or noise
• When the engine seems to be overloaded or is
about to fail
Eco throttle valve
ECO:
The engine speed will automatically adapt to
idle speed when the electric appliance is discon-
nected. If the electric appliance is reconnected, the
engine reassumes speed corresponding to the load.
If full output of the generator is not required, the
engine speed will automatically reduce. This position
is recommended for fuel consumption reduction.
OFF:
The engine speed is kept at a higher level than
the nominal speed.
The Eco throttle valve switch must be put to the OFF
position under DC operation.
12 V Charging
Also pay attention to the instructions and informati-
on provided by the battery and vehicle manufacturer.
Danger of short circuit! Make sure that the two clips
of the pole connecting cables do not touch or are
connected by a conductive object, such as a tool.
Never hold both clips at the same time when the
device is running.
Transport and storage
Secure the device against shifting and toppling
during transport.
Take care to prevent from fuel and oil leakage during
transport. Handling equipment to be used only when
handling the machine.
Do not store the appliance in enclosed places just
after being switched off but let it cool down outdoors
instead.
