4.0 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
4.1 STARTING THE GENERATOR
Normally the vehicle's 12V battery is used to start the
genset.
First press the red button (pos. 27 fig. 5) on the control panel
into the “I” position.
To start the genset from cold, press and hold down the
green START button (pos. 25 fig. 5) together with the white
CHOKE button (pos. 26 fig. 5) for max. 5 seconds.
CAUTION
Do not make prolonged or repeated (more than 5 consecu
tive) attempts to start the genset, as this may damage the
starter motor.
To start the genset when already warmedup, or during the
summer, when the outside temperature is high, press the
green “START” button (pos. 25 fig. 5) only.
In an emergency the genset can be started manually using
the pullcord handle (pos. 4 fig. 8 and 15) and holding the
choke magnet (pos. 36 fig. 8 and 15) shut with one hand
if the engine is cold.
The green LED on the control panel ((pos. 23 fig. 5) indicates
that the genset is running correctly.
4.2 STOPPING THE GENERATOR
Push the red “STOP” button (pos. 27 fig. 5) on control panel
into the ”0" position. Alternatively use the safety switch on
the genset itself (pos. 7 fig. and 14) for models 2500  4000
 5500.
4.3 INHERENT RISKS
DANGER
The generator is fitted with a combustion engine, and
therefore runs on highly inflammable fuelstuffs.
Exhaust gases are conveyed under the casing and, although
mixed with cooling air, they are inevitably hot.
Do
not touch the parts of the casing close to the exhaust
and do not place your hands or other objects within the
duct.
4.4 IMPROPER USE
DANGER
The generator is to be installed by qualified technicians only,
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The generator is to be used only and exclusively for producing
current for mobile vehicles, fitted with a standard electrical
circuit in keeping with the power supplied by the generator.
4.5 USEFUL ADVICES
To use the genset at best, we remember you that little, but
prolonged, overloads may cut off thermal switches pos. 10
and 11 shown in fig. 6 and 14.
During runningin, it is advisable that the new engine is not
subjected to loads exceeding its nominal load by 70%, at
least during the first 50 running hours.
