4.2. Operation
When the generating set is warm and the running speed has stabilised (after approximately 3 minutes):
Check that the operating light is turned on (fig. A – no. 11, A).
Activate the "MAX" or "ECO" mode (fig. A – no. 9).
Connect the devices to the generating set sockets (fig. A – no. 8).
In case of overload or short-circuit, the operating light (fig. A – no. 11, A) switches–off and the overload indicator (fig. A – no. 11, B)
glows: Stop the generating set and eliminate the overload or the short-circuit.
4.2.1 MAX-ECO mode
MAX
When the button (Fig. A – No. 9) is set to "MAX", the generating set can quickly respond to a high inrush current (when running under no
load, it runs at 3800 rpm).
ECO
The "ECO" position is useful for small loads. To reduce noise emissions, the generating set runs at its min. speed (3000 rpm) between
0 and 200 W. When a power above 200 W is required, the speed of rotation gradually increases.
4.3. Switching off
Shut down and disconnect the devices.
Allow the engine to run idle for 1 or 2 min.
Close the fuel tap (fig. A – no.3).
The generator set comes to a stop.
Always ensure suitable ventilation for the generating set.
Even after shut down, the engine continues to dissipate heat.
Warning
5. Safety features
5.1. Oil cut-out
If there is no oil in the engine sump or if the oil pressure is low, the oil safety mechanism automatically stops the engine to prevent any
damage.
If this occurs, check the engine oil level and top it up if necessary before looking for any other cause of the problem.
5.2. Circuit breaker
The set's electrical circuit is protected by one or more magnetothermal, differential or thermal cut-out switches. In the event of an
overload and/or short circuit, the supply of electrical energy may be cut.
If necessary, replace the circuit breakers in the generating set with circuit breakers with identical nominal ratings and specifications.
6. Maintenance schedule
6.1. Reminder of use
The maintenance operations to be carried out are described in the maintenance schedule. The interval for this is supplied as a guide
and for generating sets operating with fuel and oil which conform to the specifications given in this manual.
If the generating set is used under extreme conditions, the interval between the maintenance operations must be shortened.
