Switching on the machine by an electrical amateur
Switching on without a qualified electrician, the following requirements must be met:
•
The machine is checked at regular intervals by a qualified electrician (recommended every six
months).
•
Extension and connection cables as a well as plugs/sockets must be checked regularly for me-
chanical damage.
•
Only use cables and conductors that are permanently suitable for the intended use.

Operating instructions
N OTE
•
Always place the machine on a firm and flat surface! No turning, tilting or moving dur-
ing the engine is running.
•
Always check oil and fuel level before starting.
•
Do not connect the device before the machine is running at full speed. Disconnect the
device before turning the machine off.
•
Connected devices must be in perfect condition.
•
Keep the cable length to the device as short as possible.
•
NOTE:
For a period of 5 minutes, the machine is designed to provide maximum performance. For continu-
ous operation, the specified rated performance should not be exceeded.
13.5.1
Operation of the machine to over 1500m above sea level
•
When operating at high altitudes, the air/fuel mixture becomes too dense due to the lower ox-
ygen content in the air. This leads to loss of power, increased fuel consumption, rapid wear of
the spark plugs and difficult starting of the engine.
13.5.2
Connecting devices
•
Before connecting a device to the machine you must check its perfect condition.
•
When you recognize that a connected device acts unusual you must stop the machine and dis-
connect the device. Control whether the device is damaged or if the machine was overloaded
by the device.
•
The max. performance of the connected devices must be within the specifications for the ma-
chine.
NOTE:
Most devices (motor) require more starting current to start than specified. A short exceed of the
normed power capacity of the machine is possible but if this happens oftener the life time of the ma-
chine will be shortened.
Please consult the performance specifications on the connected electrical devices, these can usually
be found next to the serial or manufacturing number.
Please consider: Some devices, for instance cooling devices need up to 5 times more starting current
than current during the operation.
NOTE:
If the machine is continuously overloaded or if a short circuit occurs, the power supply to the con-
nected devices is interrupted. In this case, the overload alarm lights up continuously. If this occurs, switch
off the machine and check the problem.
