Should the battery be flat, you can start the gen-
erating set Energy 2510 B by hand, using the
handle of the engine coil winding (Fig.31 Ref.1)
after setting the selector switch to "ON" (Fig.31
Ref. 2) and the electronic control panel to "ON".
Once you have started up the engine manually,
put the selector switch back to "0FF" (Fig.31 Ref.
2). The start-up battery should never be discon-
nected, as there would be no input to the elec-
tronic control panel which would prevent the
generating set from working.
6.2 Turning the generating sets off
To stop the generating set, set the switch 1 to its
"OFF" position (Fig.30 Ref.1).
The fuel employed is
highly flammable.
The exhaust gases are conveyed under the
casing; their temperature, inevitably, is high
even though they are mixed with cooling air.
Do not touch the casing areas near the ex-
haust, and do not put your hands or any ob-
jects inside the casing.
6.3 Information on not recommended uses
These generating sets
must be installed and used by qualified and
authorised personnel only, according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. These generat-
ing sets must only and exclusively be used to
produce electrical power on vehicles pro-
vided with an electrical system built to stan-
dards and according to the quantity of power
delivered.
6.4 Useful tips
To prevent malfunctioning of any of the
generating set-powered users, it is necessary to:
- Before starting the generating set, ensure all
user loads are disconnected (e.g. via the
thermomagnetic switch provided between the
generating set and the system - as described
elsewhere in this document) until the
generating set has started and reached
steady state.
- Before
stopping
the
generating
set,
disconnect or at least, turn off the connected
users.
To make the best use of the generating sets, re-
member that even minor overloads - if they last
long enough - will operate the thermal cut-out
switches (Fig.31 Ref.3).
During the first 50 hours of operation (run-in
time), it is important not to submit the generating
set to a working load exceeding 75% of its rated
load.
6.5 Control and alarm functions (Fig. 30)
2 Display: when the generating set has started
up, the total running hours will be displayed.
Press the key provided below the control panel
display unit (Fig.30 Ref.9) to display the number
of generating set operation hours since the latest
engine oil change.
3 High temperature indicator: this warning light
will light up when the temperature of the generat-
ing set goes over its safety value; the engine will
stop at the same time.
4 Engine oil minimum level indicator: this
warning light will light up to indicate that oil in the
engine has gone below the minimum level. A
safety system will kill the engine automatically to
prevent failures.
5 Engine startup failed: this warning light will
light up to indicate that the generating set has not
started up, after all four start-up attempts.
7 Change oil: this warning light will light up when
the engine has reached 100 running hours since
the latest oil change. Every time the oil is
changed, the After-sales service staff must reset
the timer to zero.
8 Fuel warning: this warning light will light up
when the fuel level inside the extra tank has gone
below its reserve level (about 4 litres)
9 Display time changeover switch: press this
switch to display the running hours since the lat-
est engine oil change.
10 Reset: this key (not visible) is used to reset
the panel (operation to be done only if the panel
