Devices are connected to the AC terminals
Before connecting a device on the AC socket you must control the perfect condition of the device.
When you recognize that a connected device acts unusual you must stop the generator and
disconnect the device. Control whether the device is damaged or if the generator was overloaded
by the device.
ATTENTION: A short exceed of the normed power capacity of the generator is possible but if this
happens oftener the life time of the generator will be shortened.
Please consider: Some devices, for instance cooling devices need up to 5 times more starting
current than current during the operation.

Operation
of the generator
to over
1800m
above sea level
When is operating at high altitudes is due to the lower oxygen content in the air, the air / fuel
mixture too dense. This leads to loss of power, increased fuel consumption and the rapid
deterioration of the spark plugs and heavy start the engine.
the generator is designed to operate at high altitudes, you should modify the carburetor in a
certified service center. Nevertheless, it is a power drop of 3.5% per 300m altitudes to take
slope into account.
CAUTION: The operation of the generator with a modified carburetor at low altitude leads to
overheating of the engine.
AC Operation
Connect the devices to the AC socket. The most devices
need more power for starting than declared. A device with
a rated power (1500kW) can temporarily load your
generator (eg ZI-STE2800) to its maximum when switched
on.
Always connect the devices in a falling chronology of their
kW-consumption!
When the generator is overloaded the power supply gets
interrupted. So turn off the generator and study the
problem.
