4 USING THE GENERATOR
4.1 Positioning the generator
The generators of the
PD
series must be positioned
horizontally, i.e. placed on a flat surface or made to sit
horizontally by placing shims under the support feet.
The engine functions properly if it does not exceed
a maximum inclination of 20°, both on the
longitudinal and the transversal axis. Should the
engine be operated in conditions at a greater
inclination, there is a risk of insufficient lubrication
or suction of engine oil from the air filter.
4.2 Preliminary checks
Before beginning with any starting procedure, it is
extremely important to become familiar with the
generator and its controls. Furthermore, a visual
inspection must be carried out on the machine and the
installation.
Any source of potential or real danger must be
eliminated before proceeding.
Identify the position of the emergency stop buttons,
switches and other emergency systems on the
generator.
Learn the special emergency procedures relative to the
installation in question.
Identify the position of the fire extinguisher or other
protection and emergency devices and learn their
functioning.
Identify any sources of danger such as fuel, engine oil
or acid solution leaks, condensate in the drip caps, high
voltage, high pressure.
Ensure that the generator is clean and that the
surrounding areas are clean and free of obstacles.
Check that there are no obstructions in the inlets and
ventilation ducts.
Check that the exhaust pipe is not oriented against
obstacles, or make sure that these are at least two
metres away.
Check that the earth connection has been carried out
properly.
At first starting of the generator, after having done any
type of maintenance work, it is always good practice to
check:
- the oil level by means of the dipstick (Fig. 3, Ref. 1 );
- that all the electrical utilities are off so that the generator
is not started on load;
- that the fuel pipes are undamaged and properly
connected;
- that there are no electrical connections in a bad state.
4.3 Refuelling
Refuelling must be carried out with extreme care, ensuring
that fuel does not overflow from the engine tank and
respecting the maximum level.
When refuelling has been completed, carefully close
the fillercap (Fig. 2 Ref. G).
- Fuel is toxic and inflammable and must therefore
be kept in special airtight containers and stored in
inaccessible places.
- Refuelling must always be carried out with the
engine off.
- Do not smoke and do not use open flames during
refuelling.
- Refuel in well-ventilated places.
- Avoid contact of fuel with the skin and do not
inhale the fumes.
4.4 Battery
Position a 12V battery in the battery compartment (Fig.2,
Ref.M) with a capacity of 50 A/h and dimensions of
207x175x190 to be used for starting.
The compartment is accessed by removing the plate
(Fig.2, Ref.M) after having removed the retaining screws
(Fig.6, Ref.3).
The battery must be charged before using it to switch on
the generator, since the battery charger with which the
generator is equipped is able to maintain the charge
constant, but not to charge it fully.
Connect the terminals (Fig.6, Ref.1) to the battery taking
care to respect the right polarity.
Spread some Vaseline grease on the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals to protect them from corrosion.
Lock the battery with the special bracket (Fig.6, Ref.2).
- Before proceeding with charging the battery
remove the cover from each cell.
- Recharge the battery in a well ventilated place.
- Interrupt charging if the electrolyte temperature
exceeds 45°C (130°F).
- Do not disconnect the battery when the generator
is running; the battery charger alternator and the
electronic equipment may irreparably be damaged.
-
R / - polarity when connecting; failing this
will cause a short-circuit when starting, which will
irremediably damage the electronic equipment.
- Dispose of the acid can in an appropriate manner.
- Battery fluid is a corrosive acid, extremely harmful
to the skin. Always wear protective gloves and be
extremely careful to avoid spillage when pouring
the acid.
- In the event of contact, wash the affected part
thoroughly with running water and consult a
physician, in particular when the eyes are involved.
