07.6 USING THE UNIT AS A GENERATING SET

Earth leakage circuit breaker (picture 5)
The unit is equipped with an earth leakage circuit breaker
(2) capable of ensuring user protection in case of accidental
contact with live parts or failure of the insulation system of
connected users.
Press the test button T every month: the earth leakage circuit
breaker should trip and de-energise the sockets.
If this would not be the case, then it is advisable not to use
the unit and immediately seek technical advice.
Apply only to authorised factory centres for
technical service on electrical components.
• Before connecting a load to sockets on the front panel of
the unit, make sure that the generator supplies enough power
for the tools that are connected.
Beware: electric motors' starting current
requirements are considerably higher than
rated full load values.
• Before connecting a load to single phase and/or three
phase sockets, make sure that the circuit breakers are open.
• At the end of work, before removing plugs from panel
sockets, open the circuit breakers.
• Connect loads to generator's sockets only by using cables
of suitable size and in good conditions, with plugs fitted for
the sockets on the panel. Do not use adapters.
• The voltmeter (1) shows the single phase voltage (about
235 V at full speed).

07.7 ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTINGS

All controls for the adjustments and settings necessary when
using the generator are mounted on the control panel and
are described in this Chapter.
It is forbidden to perform further adjustments and settings
other than those described here.
Any adjustment and setting other than those
made by the manufacturer may compromise
the reliability of the power generator and
make the warranty void.
The engine oil level should be checked daily
by the operator, using the dipstick located on
the left side of the unit.
Do not disconnect the battery cables when
the generator is running as this can cause
improper operation of the battery charger.
Stop the engine before fuelling. Do not smoke
when fuelling. Do not perform fuelling near
flames.
Do not overfill the fuel tank and clean up any
spillages. Check daily that there is no leakage
of fuel or oil from the engine.
When using the generator on its trolley, it is
the operator's responsibility to position the
unit in a safe location.
07.8 PUTTING THE MACHINE TEMPORARILY
OUT OF SERVICE AND RESTARTING
OPERATION
If the generator is put out of service for longer than 6 months,
it is advisable to disconnect the negative terminal of the
battery and to leave engine oil and fuel in to protect
mechanical parts, along with the fuel supply, injection system
and the fuel tank from oxidation.
When putting the generator back to service, all fluids should
be replaced, the battery should be charged, engine belts, if
any, all couplings and fuel pipes and seals should be checked.
In case of longer out of service periods, contact Gen Set
Service Department.
