PURPOSE
A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical
energy. Its power source is an internal combustion engine. The generator
is ideal when there is no permanent source of electricity. It is ideal as an
emergency power source in homes, camps, holiday cottages, etc. The
generator can be used to power devices such as power tools,
incandescent lamps, heating devices and similar devices that require 230
V AC.
ATTENTION ! It is not recommended to use the generator for
electrical equipment containing electronic components sensitive to
voltage fluctuations.
The generator requires virtually no maintenance.
Do not misuse the generator
• Flood the generator with oil.
• Fill the fuel tank.
• Ground the generator
Pull the starter rope Fig. A7 slowly at first until you hear the clutch
engage and then pull it firmly. This operation may require several
repetitions before the combustion engine starts.
OPERATION OF THE DEVICE
PREPARATION FOR WORK
STARTING THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Do not connect consumers in the form of any electrical equipment before
starting the engine. The tank must not be filled above the permissible
maximum level, as fuel may flow out as it expands due to the increase in
temperature while the engine is running.
The following rules must be observed when filling with fuel:
the engine cannot run.
fuel must not be spilled.
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The generator earth terminal is located on the generator panel Fig.
B10, and connected to the non-conductive metal parts of the
generator and to the earth terminals of each socket.
Before using the earth terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical
inspector or local agency with jurisdiction over local regulations or
ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
To prevent electric shock from faulty equipment, the generator should be
earthed. Connect a section of single-core power cable (wire) with a large
cross-section (minimum 4mm²) between the figure B10 earthing terminal
and the earthing rod driven into the ground. Generators have a system
earth that connects the generator frame components to the earth terminals
on the AC output sockets. The system earth is not connected to the AC
neutral conductor. If the generator is tested with an outlet tester, it will show
the same earthing circuit condition as the household outlets.
OIL SPILLAGE
• Before starting the generator for the first time, prepare 0.6 litres of SAE
type 15W30 oil. Unscrew the oil filler cap and pour in the specified
amount of oil. Check the oil level with the level indicator Fig. A8 and
screw the oil filler cap on.
• Fill the fuel tank fig. A13 with unleaded petrol. Unscrew the fuel filler
cap fig. A2. When you have finished filling the fuel, make sure that the
fuel filler cap fig. A2 is securely tightened.
• Ground the generator Fig. B10 (earthing cable not included in the
generator equipment).
STARTING THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Turn the fuel valve lever fig. A3 to the "ON" position . With the engine cold,
move the fuel throttle lever (suction) fig. A16 / fig. C1 to the right.
Turn the generator ignition on by turning the key fig. B2 to the "ON"
position. Pull the starter cord fig. A7/fig. C4 slowly at first until you hear
the clutch engage and then pull it vigorously. Starting the combustion
engine may require pulling the starter cord several times.
STARTING THE GENERATOR FROM THE BATTERY
When starting the engine with the starter, use the following instructions.
● Move the fuel (suction) throttle lever Fig. A16 to the right.
● Move the lever of the switch with AC overcurrent protection fig. B7 to
the "ON" position. The voltage indicator lamp fig. B1 will illuminate.
● Turn the figure B2 key to the START position and hold it there for 5
seconds or until the engine starts.
● The voltmeter Fig. B6 will show the value of the voltage generated.
● Operating the starter for more than 5 seconds can damage the engine.
If the engine fails to start, release the switch and wait 10 seconds before
restarting the starter.
● If the speed of the starter motor drops after a certain period of time, this
indicates that the battery needs to be recharged.
● After starting the engine, allow the engine switch to return to the ON
position.
● Turn the choke lever or push the choke rod to the OPEN position as the
engine warms up.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn off all consumers, in the form of electrical appliances, before stopping
the engine.
● Switch off the generator ignition by pressing by turning the key Fig. B2
to the "OFF" position.
● Turn the fuel valve lever Fig. A3/Fig. A3 to the "OFF" position. This will
switch off the engine.
After the internal combustion engine has finished running, the engine itself
and its exhaust pipe can be very hot.
CAUTION! As long as the combustion engine and its exhaust pipe have
not cooled down, avoid touching them with any part of your body or
clothing when undertaking inspection, maintenance or repair work.
AC POWER SUPPLY
Before connecting the device to the generator:
● Make sure that the device you are connecting is in good working order.
Faulty appliances or power cords can create a risk of electric shock.
● If the appliance starts to malfunction, becomes slow or stops suddenly,
switch it off immediately. Unplug the appliance and determine whether the
problem is the appliance or whether the rated load capacity of the
generator has been exceeded.
● Ensure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed
the generator rating. Never exceed the maximum power rating of the
generator.
● Power levels between rated and maximum may not be used for more
than 30 minutes.
● Significant overloading of the generator will cause the circuit breaker to
shut down.
● Exceeding the maximum power time limit or slightly overloading the
generator may not cause the circuit breaker to trip, but will shorten the life
of the generator.
● For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
● In both cases, the total power requirement (VA) of all connected
appliances must be taken into account. The power data of the appliance
can be found on the rating plate
AC power supply for equipment
1. Start the engine.
2. turn the AC circuit breaker Fig. B2 to the "ON" position.
3. connect the device to the socket Fig. B8 or Fig. B9.
ATTENTION: Most motorised equipment requires more power than
its rated output to start.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for one socket. If an overloaded
circuit causes the AC breaker to trip, reduce the electrical load in the
circuit, wait a few minutes and then switch the breaker back on.
DC POWER SUPPLY
ATTENTION: DC terminals may ONLY be used to charge 12 V vehicle
batteries.
CAUTION: Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cables
are connected and the generator is running. The vehicle or damage
to the generator may occur.
The terminals are coloured red, positive terminal (+) fig. B4 and black,
negative terminal (-) fig. B5. The battery must be connected to the DC
terminals of the generator with the correct polarity (positive battery to the
red terminal of the generator and negative battery to the black terminal of
the generator).
DC circuit protection with DC fuse
The DC circuit protection Fig. B3 automatically switches off the DC battery
charging circuit when the DC circuit is overloaded, when there is a problem
