OPERATION

NOTE: Do not use the voltage change over switch while the

alternator is on load. This may create a failure of the switch.

1. Models EC2000 B, EC3600 B, EC5000 B

: select the appropriate

voltage using the voltage selector [2].

2. Connect machines to the receptacles, taking care not to exceed

the maximum current specified for each receptacle.

3. Ensure that the circuit breaker is reset.

MAINTENANCE

ENGINE OIL CHANGE

CAUTION:

• Prolonged and frequent contact with used engine oil can cause

skin cancer. Although this is unlikely, it is sensible to wash your

hands thoroughly after handling used engine oil.

• Drain the oil while the engine is still warm so that the oil flows out

quickly and completely.

1. Remove the oil filler cap [3] and the drain plug [4].

2. Drain the oil in an appropriate container.

3. Put the drain plug [4] back on, complete with its ring seal [5] and

tighten fully.

4. Refill with a recommended oil (see page 4) type and check that

the oil is level with the filler neck.

Oil capacity:

EC2000 : 0,6 l

EC3600 - EC5000 - ECT7000 : 1,1 l

NOTE:

Protection of the environment: Waste oil is a serious source of

pollution of our environment; we strongly recommend that you take

it in a leak-proof container to a service station or a waste disposal

site, which will recycle it. Do not throw oil away with household

waste, and do not dispose of it by pouring it away on the ground or

down the drain.

AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE

The engine will not run properly if the air cleaner is dirty: it is very

important that the air cleaner is serviced regularly.

Never use petrol or inflammable solvents to clean air cleaner

elements: these products can cause fire and damage the air

cleaner elements.

EC2000

1. Remove the wing nut [6] and the

air cleaner cover [7]. Remove the

wing nut [8] and remove the

elements [9] and [10] and

separate them. Check carefully

that the elements are not torn or

blocked; replace them if they are

damaged.

2. Paper element [9]:

Tap the

element lightly several times on a

hard surface to get rid of any

loose dirt, or blow through with

compressed air from the inside

towards the outside. Never brush

the element, as this causes

impurities to penetrate the fibres.

Replace the paper element if it is

very dirty.

3. Foam element [10]

- wash the element in a solution

of warm water containing non-

foaming household detergent, rinse it and allow it to dry

thoroughly,

- dip the element in clean engine oil, then squeeze it to remove

excess oil. If too much oil is left in the foam, the engine will

smoke the next few times it is started.

4. Refit the ring seal [11], the air cleaner elements [9] and [10] the

wing nut [8], and the cover [7] and tighten the wing nut [6] fully.

CAUTION:

• Do not use the generator without its air cleaner, as this can

damage the engine.

EC3600 / EC5000 / ECT7000

1. Remove the wing nut [12] and the

air cleaner cover [13]. Remove the

wing nut [16], remove the

elements [14] and [15] and

separate them. Check carefully that

the two elements are not torn or

blocked; replace them if they are

damaged.

2. Paper element [14]:

Tap the

element lightly several times on a

hard surface to get rid of any loose

dirt, or blow through with

compressed air from the inside

towards the outside. Never brush

the element, as this causes

impurities to penetrate the fibres.

Replace the paper element if it is

very dirty.

3. Foam element [15]

- wash the element in a solution of warm water containing non-

foaming household detergent, rinse it and allow it to dry

thoroughly, or clean it in a nonflammable solvent and allow it

to dry thoroughly,

- dip the element in clean engine oil, then squeeze it to remove

excess oil. If too much oil is left in the foam, the engine will

smoke the next few times it is started.

4. Refit the air cleaner element [14] and [15] the wing nut [16], and

the cover [13] and tighten the wing nut [12] fully.

CAUTION:

• Do not use the generator without its air cleaner, as this can

damage the engine.
