PG-I SE Series | Version 1.04
Starting the PG-I 42 SE generator
Electric Start:
Turn the motor switch to the "START" position and hold
on for 5 seconds.
Manual Start:
Turn the motor switch to the "START" position.
Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is feit and
then pull rapidly.

Step 4: Push the choke lever to the "Run" position to
warm up the motor.
Too long operation with the choke can lead to spark plug
contamination / flooding of the engine due to lack of sup-
ply air. This will not start the engine.
10.1Activation of the ECO switch
The eco switch can be activated in order to minimize fuel
consumption and noise while operating the unit during
times of reduced electrical output, allowing the engine
speed to idle during periods of non-use. The engine
speed automatically returns to normal when an electrical
load is connected. When the smart switch is off, the en-
gine runs at normal operating speed.

10.2Connecting of consumers
Step 1: Let the engine warm up and stabilize for a few
minutes after starting.
Step 2: Connect the desired 230 Volt 50 Hz consumers
and switch them on.
Power
Calculation of the power in watts required for starting and
operating the loads to be supplied.
Step 1: After starting, allow the engine to stabilize and
warm up for a few minutes.
Step 2: Calculate the total power of these consumers in
watts. This value corresponds to the power re-
quired to keep the loads running.
Watt = Volt x Ampere
Step 3: Consider the starting currents of the consumers.
Step 4: Plug in the desired single-phase 230 Volt 50 Hz
AC consumers and switch them on.
The connection of a power generator to the power lines
of your power supply company or to another power
source must be clarified in advance with the network
operator.
NOTE!
If the generator is used at high altitude or at high
temperatures, the air/fuel mixture ratio may be
excessively high, resulting in higher consumption
and lower performance. Check the actual power of
the generator using the following correction factors:
TEMPERATURE: the power decreases on average
by 2% per 5 degrees Celsius at temperatures above
20 degrees Celsius.
ALTITUDE: the power decreases on average by 1%
per 100 m above sea level. If the altitude for opera-
tion exceeds 2000 m above sea level, the engine
manufacturer's after-sales service should be consul-
ted for any fuel mixture adjustments..
ATTENTION!
If the motor does not start after 3 starting attempts or
stops during operation, check that the generator is
horizontal and that sufficient motor oil is filled.
NOTE!
The ec switch should be set to OFF for heavy electri-
cal loads or momentary fluctuations.
NOTE!
- DO NOT connect 3-phase consumers to the po-
wer generator.
- DO NOT overload the generator.
ATTENTION!
Ensure that the rated voltage and frequency of the
generator are compatible with all electrical loads that
the equipment must supply. If the current consump-
tion exceeds the generator power, one or more loads
must be disconnected and connected to a separate
generator.
