4.5 U
SING THE GENERATOR
Before powering any utility, leave the engine to run
without applied load for at least five minutes so that it
gradually reaches the operating temperature. This will
guarantee longer life of the engine and eliminate the risk
of seizures.
The available power is as indicated on the adhesive label
carrying the technical characteristics fixed on the
machine and shown in detail in the table "technical
characteristics" (par. 2.4.).
The sum of absorption of all the utilities connected to
the generator must never exceed the continuous
power value of the generator.
4.6 S
TOPPING
The generator is stopped by turning the ignition key
completely anticlockwise to the STOP position.
Before stopping it, it is recommended to run it for a few
minutes without applied load so that the internal
temperatures of the engine and alternator are gradually
reduced.
4.7 E
MERGENCY STOP
For an emergency stop of the generator press the
mushroom-head emergency stop button (cap.2.2, rif.U).
Having removed the causes that determined the need for
an emergency stop, release the emergency stop button
in order to return to the operating conditions.

5 PROTECTIONS AND WARNING SIGNALS
The generators are equipped with a series of protections
which safeguard it against improper use and faults which
may compromise integrity.
5.1 P
ROTECTION AGAINST SHORT
For protection against short-circuits and overloads, the
generators have been fitted with magnetothermal and
differential switches which trip, cutting the power.
5.2 S
(
OCKET PANEL
OPTIONAL
See par.2.3 "Socket instrument panel"
A main differential magnetothermal switch cuts the
power to all the outlets in the event of a short-circuit,
overload and current leakage to earth.
A magnetothermal protection switch at the low-power
outlets,breaks the circuit if a current greater than the
rated current is drawn by the outlets.
5.3 P
ROTECTION AGAINST DISPERSION TO GROUND
(
)
OPTIONAL
An optional differential switch is available that cuts out
voltage supply in the event of dispersion of current to
ground/earth.
Before restoring the power by returning the
magnetothermal switch lever to the ON position
remove the cause of the fault.
