6.2 Turning the generating sets off
To stop the generating set, place the “ON/OFF”
switch in its OFF position (Fig. 21 ref. 1).
The generating set is
provided with an internal combustion engine;
therefore the fuel used is highly flammable.
The exhaust gases are conveyed under the
hood; their temperature, inevitably, is quite
high, even though they are mixed with
cooling air.
Do not touch the hood areas near the
exhaust, and do not put your hands or other
objects inside the hood.
6.3 Information on forbidden use
The generating set must
be installed and used only by personnel
qualified and authorised according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. The generating
set must be used only and exclusively to
produce electrical power on vehicles
provided with an electrical system made
according to standards and depending on the
quantity of power delivered.
6.4 Suggestions
To make the best use of the generating sets,
remember that even small overloads - if they last
for some time - will make the temperature cut-off
contact open (Fig. 22 ref. 3).
During the running-in period, do not subject the
new engine to a load higher than 70% of the
rated load, at least for the first 50 running hours.
6.5 Control and alarm functions (Fig. 21)
2 Display
: when the generating set has started
up, the total running hours will be displayed.
Press the key (Fig. 21 ref. 9) to display the partial
running hours of the generating set after the last
change of the engine oil.
21
3 High temperature indicator
: this warning light
will light up when the temperature of the
generating set goes over its safety value; the
engine will stop at the same time.
4 Engine oil minimum pressure indicator:
this
warning light will light up to indicate that the level
of oil in the engine has gone below the minimum
level. A safety system will turn the engine off
automatically in order to prevent breakages.
5 Engine startup failed
: this warning light will
light up to indicate that the generating set has not
started up, after all four attempts at starting up
have failed.
22
7 Change oil
: this warning light will light up when
the engine has reached 100 running hours after
the last change of oil. Every time the oil is
changed, the After-sales service must reset the
timer at zero.
8 Petrol reserve
: 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 changeover switch
: press this to
display the running hours which have elapsed
since the last time the engine oil was changed.
10 Reset
: When the display shows any
characters without logic, the panel is to be
reinitialised. Press the Reset key and, holding it
down, switch on the panel. When 4 zeroes
(0000) are shown on the display, the panel is
reinitialised.
6.6 Initialising the GE penel and turning off
alarms
When you use the generator set, alarm signals
may light up which refer to checking the oil of the
unit. After having checked the oil, to put an end
to the alarms proceed as follows:
Alarm:
the red maintenence lamp is flashing.
