5.4.2.3.
Some electrical induction motors, require about three times more power
for starting than for running. This surge of power only lasts a few seconds
when starting. You MUST make sure you allow for high starting wattage
when selecting electrical devices to connect to the generator;
5.4.2.3.1.
5.4.2.3.2.
Calculate the watts needed to start the largest motor.
Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected
loads.
Start the largest motor first and only one motor at a time.
5.5.
Stopping the engine.
5.5.1.
Switch off all loads then unplug them from the generator outlet sockets.
NEVER start or stop the engine with electrical devices plugged in and
turned on.
Switch the main breaker down (OFF).
5.5.2.
Let the engine run with no-load for several minutes to stabilise the internal
temperatures of engine and generator.
5.5.3.
Move the engine switch
to
the
OFF position,
5.5.4.
Close
the
fuel valve.
5.6.
Low oil level system shutdown.
5.6.1.
The engine is equipped with a low oil level sensor that shuts down the engine
automatically when the oil level drops below a specified level.
5.6.2.
If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough petrol, check
the
engine oil level.
Engine oil level should be checked daily.
5.7.
High altitude.
5.7.1.
To remain emissions compliant at high altitude (altitudes over 5,000 feet or
1524 meters) adjustment is required. This adjustment will cause decreased
performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions. Contact
your dealer for high altitude adjustment information.
5.7.2.
Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet or 762 meters with the
high altitude kit is not recommended.
