In the event that this acid solution is ingested, drink
200 ml of clean unflavoured still water and immedia-
tely seek medical help.
In the event that the 12 V DC power socket is overloa-
ded, the direct current circuit breaker will be tripped.
5. Turn off the generator before disconnecting the char-
ging cables of the generator from the car battery.
6. First disconnect the alligator clip of the charging
cable from the grounded pole of the car battery
and then the alligator clip of the ungrounded pole
of the car battery.
STANDARD COMPARATIVE
CONDITIONS
(IDEAL CLIMATIC CONDITIONS)
y
For the purposes of determining the nominal power
output of the generator, the provided standard
comparative conditions must be used.
Standard comparative conditions for operation of
the generator are:
y
Total barometric pressure: p
r
= 100 kPa (~ 1 atm.)
y
Ambient temperature: T
r
= 25°C
y
Relative humidity:
∅
r
= 30%
Temperature range for using the generator: -15° to + 40°C.
Operation at high above sea level altitudes
y
At a higher above sea level altitude the fuel:air ratio
changes in the carburettor towards flooding with
fuel (insufficient amount of air). This results in a loss
of performance, increased fuel consumption, clog-
ging of the spark plug and more difficult starting.
Operation at high above sea level altitudes negati-
vely affects exhaust fume emissions.
y
Under these conditions, the generator's performance
can be increased by replacing the main carburettor jet
with one that has a smaller bore and changing the posi-
tion of the air:fuel mixture adjustment screw.
If you wish to use the generator at an altitude greater
than 1500 m.a.s.l, have the carburettor readjusted at an
authorised service centre for the HERON® brand.
Do not adjust the carburettor yourself!
•
ATTENTION
y
Even with the recommended readjustment of the
generator's carburettor, the performance nevertheless
declines by about 3.5 % per every 305 m of above sea
level altitude. Without performing the above-described
readjustments, the loss in performance is even greater.
y
When the generator is operated at an above sea level
altitude that is lower than for which the carburettor
is set, the carburettor has a lower fuel mixture, which
again results in a loss in performance. Therefore, it is
necessary to readjust the carburettor.
VIII. Care and maintenance
1. Before commencing maintenance tasks, turn off
the engine and position it generator on a rigid
horizontal surface.
2. Allow the generator to cool down before perfor-
ming maintenance tasks.
3. To eliminate the possibility of an unexpected
start-up, set the power switch of the engine to the
"OFF" position and disconnect the spark plug con-
nector cap (fig.9, position 1).
4. Always use only original spare parts.
Using poor quality parts or components with different
technical parameters may result in serious damage to the
generator, which is not covered by the free warranty repair.
Regular inspections, maintenance, checks, audits and
adjustments in regular intervals are an essential pre-
requisite for ensuring safety and for achieving high
performance of the generator. Table 5 provides the
plan of tasks that must be performed in regular inter-
vals by the operator themselves and that may only
be performed by an authorised service centre for the
HERON®
brand.
To exercise a claim to warranty repairs, it is neces-
sary to present/provide documentation of proof
of purchase and performed servicing inspections
- tasks. These records are entered into the second
part of the user's manual designated as "Warranty
and service". Not presenting/providing servicing
records will be deemed to constitute neglected
maintenance, which will result in loss of guarantee
according to the warranty conditions.
In the event of a malfunction on the generator and the
submission of a claim to free warranty repairs, the failu-
re to adhere to these service tasks represents grounds
for rejection of the warranty on the basis of neglect of
maintenance and non-adherence to the user's manual.
To extend the lifetime of the generator, we recom-
mend that a complete inspection is performed after
1200 hours of operation, including repairs, covering
the following tasks:
y
the same tasks according to the maintenance plan
after every 200 hours and the following tasks that
may only be performed by an authorised service
centre for the Heron® brand:
y
inspection of the crankshaft, piston rod and piston
y
inspection of collector rings, carbon brushes of the
alternator or shaft bearings
