7. Operation

7.1 Starting the engine

Check whether the mechanical switch (Fig.
n
5/Item A) is set to "RUN".
Open the fuel cock (Fig. 6/Item E).
n
Set the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 2/Item 18) to the
n
"ON" position using the key.
Pull the decompression cable (Fig. 2/Item 7) and
n
turn the ON/OFF switch to "Start" using the key.
Release the decompression switch after approx.
5 seconds and the engine will start.
When the engine is running, turn the ON/OFF
n
switch to "ON".
If the engine does not start straight away
n
(particularly if the tank was previously empty or
after you have replaced the diesel filter), repeat
the starting procedure by pulling the
decompression cable again.

7.2 Connecting consumers to the generator

Set the selector switch (Fig. 2/Item 11) to the left
n
to use 230V~ sockets.
Important: Even though the continuous power
(S1) of 3000 W is equally divided to the 2
sockets in this position, each individual socket
may also be loaded with 3000 W. The total load
of the two sockets may temporarily (S2) reach a
maximum of 3300 W for 5 min.
Set the selector switch (Fig. 2/Item 11) to the
n
right to activate the 400V 3~ socket.
Important: This socket may be exposed to a
continuous (S1) load of 4200W and temporarily
(S2) for a maximum of 5 minutes to a load of
5000W.
The generator is suitable for alternating voltage
n
appliances for 230 V~ and 400 V 3~.
The generator may also be exposed to a
n
continuous load of 12 V DC 100 W (Fig. 2/Item
15).
Do not connect the generator to the household
n
mains system as this may result in damage to
the generator itself or to other electrical
appliances in your home.
Note: Some electrical appliances (power jigsaws,
drills, etc.) may have a higher level of power
consumption when used in difficult conditions
Some electrical appliances (for example televisions,
computers, etc.) should not be powered by a
generator. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer of
your appliance.

7.3 Overload cut-out

The generator is fitted with an overload cut-out. This
isolates the relevant sockets if an overload occurs.
Important. If this happens, reduce the electric power
you are taking from the generator or remove any
defective connected appliances.
Important. Defective overload cut-outs must be
replaced only by overload cut-outs of identical design
and with the same performance data. If repairs are
necessary, please contact your customer service
center.
12V DC connector
If an overload occurs, the 12V DC connector (Fig.
2/Item 15) will be isolated from the supply. The 12V
DC connector can be reconnected by pressing the
overload switch Fig. 2/Item 13).
230V~ sockets
If an overload occurs, the 230V~ sockets (Fig. 2/Item
16) will be isolated from the supply. You can restart
the 230V~ sockets by pressing the overload switch
(Fig. 2/Item 12).
400V 3~ socket
If an overload occurs, the 400V 3~ socket (Fig. 2/Item
17) will be isolated from the supply. You can restart
the 400V 3~ sockets by pressing the overload switch
(Fig. 2/Item 10).

7.4 Switching off the engine

Before you switch off the generator, allow it to run
n
briefly with no consumers so that it can "cool
down".
Move the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 2/Item 18) to
n
position "OFF" using the key.
Close the fuel cock.
n
Note: The engine can also be stopped by pressing
the mechanical switch (Fig. 5/Item B). Before it is
restarted in this case, the lever (Fig. 5/Item A) must
be moved back to the right until it engages.
7.5 Changing defective fuses
To change the fuses, remove the cover from the rear
of the generator. The fuses are installed in the fuse
holders (Fig. 14 / Item A, B, C) in the positions
illustrated. Open the corresponding fuse holder and
replace the defective fuse (Fig. 15) with a new fuse.
Important! Use only fuses of the same type
previously installed in the respective fuse holder.
Pay attention in particular to the maximum
current strength (engraved in the fuse).
