GENERATOR SET OVERLOAD
Never exceed the rated power capacity (Amperes and/or Watts) during conti-
nuous operation. Before connecting and running the generator set, calculate the
electrical power consumption of the electrical equipment (in Watts or Amperes).
This electrical power (in Watts and/or Amperes) is generally found on the identifi-
cation plate of bulbs, electrical appliances, motors, etc. The total of all the powers
of the equipment used should not exceed at any one time the rated power of your
generator set.
Note: an electrical appliance (compass saw, drill, etc.) consumes more Watts or
Amperes than the number specified on the identification plate when the motor is
subjected to difficult use. For example, a saw that is to cut an extremely hard mate-
rial consumes 3 to 4 times more Watts or Amperes than the number specified on its
identification plate.
STARTING UP, OPERATING AND SHUTTING DOWN THE GENERATOR SET
Before making any attempt to start up the generator set, make sure that all the instruc-
!
tions described in the above sections have been strictly adhered to.
Starting up the generator set (minimum 2 liters of fuel on the tank)
a) Open the petrol cock by turning the handle (17) and (19) to «ON» and (20) to
«OFF»
b) Close the starter by pushing the lever(18).
c) Set the on/off switch (13) to «ON».
d) Take hold of the start-up handle correctly.
e) Pull the start-up handle slowly about ten times the handle to start the group.
f) ake hold of the start-up handle correctly and pull the cord firmly and quickly (pull
it completely and use both hands if required).
Return the handle slowly by hand. If the motor has not started, repeat the operation
until the motor has started by opening the starter progressively.
g) When the motor has started up, open the starter progressively.
