START-UP
1
. By start-up of the generator the welding circuit
is immediately operative, i.e. under voltage.
Make sure that there are no unwished electrical
contacts between the components of the outside
welding circuit (electrode, electrode holder gun,
workpiece, etc…).
2.
Check that at the start-up the a.c. auxiliary ge-
neration sockets do not feed any load.
Open the GFI (D) of the generator or
disconnect the plugs of the loads from
the sockets.
3.
turn the start key (Q1) to the preheat position,
identified by a picture of a spark plug.
Keep the key in this position for about
5 seconds, the action is shown by the
preheating light on (I4). Turn the start
key to the ON position and then on START.
After the start-up of the motor, release the key,
which will automatically place itself in the ON
position;
4.
the motor starts up at its operating speed, 1500
or 1800 rpm. After start-up, allow the motor to run
for a few minutes before powering on the utilities.

start-up at low temperatures.
The motor will normally start up without problems
down to temperatures of -10° C, -15° C.
In case of starting difficulty, it is possible to repe-
at the starting preheating for a max. time of 10
seconds. For start-up and use at lower tempe-
ratures please see the engine manual or turn to
our Technical Assistance Center.
In case of unsuccessful start-up, do not in-
sist for longer than 5 seconds. Wait 10 - 15
seconds before attempting another start-up.
STOP
For shutdown under normal conditions, proceed as
follows:
1.
Break the welding process in course.
2.
Break the production of a.c. auxiliary generation
dividing the loads or opening the GFI (D).
3.
Let the engine run with no load for a few minutes.
4.
Turn the start key (Q1) to the OFF position.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN
To stop the group in a dangerous situation, press
the emergency stop button (L5) (or turn the start
key (Q1) to the OFF position). To reset the knob,
turn it clockwise.
