Start Up - Scheppach SG5200D Original Bedienungsanleitung

Earthing
Earthing the housing is necessary to discharge stat-
ic charging. To do this, connect a cable to the earth
connection of the generator (14) on one side and to an
external earth (e.g. earthing rod) on the other side.

Start up

Starting the engine
• Check whether the mechanical power selection
switch: (a) is engaged in the correct position.
• Important! The power selection switch is set at
the factory and may not be changed.
• Set the on/off switch (7) to the "ON" position using
the key.
• Pull the choke (8) and turn the on/off switch to "Start"
using the key. Release the choke after approx. 5
seconds and the engine starts to run.
• When the engine is running, turn the on/off switch
back to the "ON" position.
• If the engine does not start up immediately (espe-
cially after the tank was previously empty or after
changing the diesel filter), repeat the start process
by pulling the choke again.
Note: Some electrical devices (motorised jigsaws,
drills, etc.) can have high power consumption if they are
used under difficult conditions. Some electric devices
(e.g. TV devices, computers, etc.) may not be operated
with a generator. In case of doubt, check with the man-
ufacturer of your device.
Overload protection
The power generator is equipped with overload pro-
tection. This deactivates the respective sockets in the
event of an overload.
Attention! If this situation occurs, reduce the electric
power that you are drawing from the power generator
or remove defective devices that are connected.
Attention! Defective overload switches may only be
replaced with identical overload switches with the
same power data. Contact customer service for this.
12V DC connection:
The 12V DC connection (15) is switch off in the event
on an overload. The 12V DC connection can be reacti-
vated by pressing the overload switch (16).
230V~ sockets:
The 230V~ sockets (17) are switch off in the event on
an overload. The 230V~ sockets can be reactivated by
pressing the overload switch (18).
400V 3~ socket:
The 400V 3~ socket (13) is switch off in the event on
an overload. The 400V 3~ socket can be reactivated by
switching the overload switch (12) on.
• If the selector switch (11) is on the left, the 230V~
sockets can be used.
• If the selector switch (11) is on the right, the 400V 3~
socket is active.
• The power generator is suitable for 230 V~ and 400
V 3~ AC voltage devices.
• A 12V battery can be charged at the 12V DC con-
nection (15). Use an adapter cable for this.
• Attention! The power generator is not suitable for
being connected to a house mains as an emergency
power supply. It can cause damage to the generator
or other electrical devices.
Shutting the engine off
• Allow the power generator to run for a short time
without load before switching it off so that the unit
can "cool down".
• Set the on/off switch (7) to the "OFF" position using
the key.
Oil warning indicator (9)
The indicator activates itself when the oil level is low
and switches the engine off. As soon as the oil level is
sufficient, the engine can be restarted.
Winter operation
As the generator is driven by a diesel engine, special
measures must be taken for winter operation. The use
of "winter diesel" is required if operating the diesel gen-
erator in outside temperatures of -3° to -10° Celsius.
The switchover of the diesel fuel to "winter diesel" takes
place mainly at the end of October, differing from coun-
try to country. Ask your filling station about the time to
switchover to "winter diesel".
• If the diesel generator is operated regularly, meas-
ures do not need to be taken as the switchover to
"winter diesel" takes place automatically.
• If the generator is not used for a long time in the
autumn, but you want to reuse it in the winter, it
is recommended to keep the tank almost empty.
