Description and purpose of the machine This machine is a portable power source. The portable generator from Wacker Neuson consists of a steel pipe frame, which includes a fuel tank, a gasoline engine, a control panel and an electrical alternator. The control panel contains controls and bushings.
3 Safety Regulations Operational safety GEFAHR Carbon monoxide. The application of a generator in buildings can LEAD TO DEATH WITHIN MINUTES. The exhaust fumes from the generator contain carbon monoxide (CO). This is an invisible odorless poison. If the exhaust fumes of the generator can be smelled, CO is being inhaled. Even if no exhaust fumes can be smelled, CO could still be being inhaled.
3 Safety Regulations Connection prerequisites The following prerequisites are to be met to connect the generator to the buil- ding's mains supply. The generator must meet the prerequisites with regard to performance, vol- tage and frequency of the equipment. The generator must be disconnected from the electric power supply.

3 Safety Regulations Generator vibration Generators vibrate during normal operation. Check during and after use of the generator whether the generator or the extension cord and power cable show da- mage due to vibration. Repair any damage as needed or replace the parts affected. ...
3 Safety Regulations Safety when using combustion engines WARNUNG Combustion engines pose a particular danger during operation and when refue- ling. Failure to follow the warning notices and safety standards can lead to seri- ous injury or death. Read and always observe the warning notices in the operator's manual of the engine and the safety instructions below.
3 Safety Regulations Safety when refueling When refueling the machine: Immediately wipe away any spilled fuel. Fill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area. Reattach the fuel tank cap after refueling. Do not smoke. Do not refuel hot or running engines. ...

2. Check the machine and its components for damage. Do not operate the machine if you find visible damage! Ask the Wacker Neuson dealer for advice at once. 3. Check whether all of the parts belonging to the machine have been delivered and whether all loose parts and fasteners are present.
Power requirements The Wacker Neuson generator GV 7000A is designed for the operation of single- phase 50 Hz electronic devices for 230 VAC. Generator GV 7003A is designed for the operation of single-phase 50 Hz electronic devices for 230 VAC and/or triple-phase 50 Hz electronic devices for 400 VAC.
7 Operation Installation Set up the generator so it is protected from rain, snow or other forms of moisture. The ground must be solid and level in order to prevent slipping or displacement. Do not direct the engine exhaust to an area with people. Both the work area as well as the components must be protected from all forms of moisture.
7 Operation Ground CAUTION Do not The mid-point (neutral) conductor of this equipment is not grounded. drive the PE rod into the ground under normal operating conditions. Refer to the local regulations if the equipment is intended to power a building or similar system.
7 Operation Use of extension cables A loss of power takes place when connecting electrical equipment or a tool to the generator with an extension cable — the longer the cable, the greater the loss of power. This means that less voltage is conveyed to the electrical equipment and the power consumption is increased or the performance is reduced.

7 Operation Control Panel See blueprints: wc_gr001275 and wc_gr001369 The fuse protects the generator from significant overloads or short circuits. If the fuse opens, shut down the engine immediately and determine the cause by starting the engine again. Check the electrical equipment and tools connected to the generator and make sure that their power requirements do not exceed the performance limit of the generator or the power limitations of the plug receptacle.

7 Operation Before starting DANGER Carbon monoxide. The application of a generator in buildings can LEAD TO DEATH WITHIN MINUTES. The exhaust fumes from the generator contain carbon monoxide (CO). This is an invisible odorless poison. If the ex- haust fumes of the generator can be smelled, CO is being inhaled. Even if no exhaust fumes can be smelled, CO could still be being inhaled.
7 Operation 7.10 Starting See blueprints: wc_gr001299 1. Disconnect all connections from the generator and put the main circuit breaker in an open position (e2). 2. Open fuel shut-off valve (a). Comment: Close the choke (b) if the engine is cold (pull out). Open the choke if the engine is warm (push).

The exhaust will become very hot during operation and also remains hot for a while after the engine is switched off. Never touch a hot exhaust. WARNING Comment: See the technical data for the recommended spark plug and spark plug air gap.
8 Maintenance Engine speed See blueprints: wc_gr001300 Generators require a non-adjustable engine speed in order to maintain the correct voltage. The engine speed is controlled by a governor that automatically adjusts to the changing loads of the engine in order to maintain a constant RPM. There is no gas regulator.
8 Maintenance Long-term storage Before long-term storage: 1. Put engine fuel shut-off valve in the closed position. 2. Disconnect fuel line from the carburetor. Place the open end of the line in an appropriate bin and open the fuel shut-off valve to empty the tank. Gasoline is highly flammable.
