electrical connections or maintenance operations
have been completed.
On the left side of the generating set is located
the cable guide (fig.16 ref. 2) through which the
LPG tube and electrical cables must be led for
generator connection. The cables coming from
the battery must be secured to the special studs
(fig.16 ref. 3). The 230 Volt user wires and
auxiliary services wires must be connected to the
terminal strip (fig.16 ref.4), the control panel and
the other electrical controls to the connectors
(fig.16 ref.5).
5.3 Battery connection
On the positive power supply line con-
nected to the generator, next to the battery,
provide a 60 A rating fuse.
The connection to a battery with volt-
age different from 12 volts or the reversal of
polarity will cause irreversible damage to the
generator.
The generator must be connected to a 12 Volt
battery (for the required specifications see the
table with generator data). Depending on the re-
quirements it can be connected either to the ve-
hicle battery or to the service battery.
The connected battery is charged by the genera-
tor itself with a maximum current of about 10 A.
For connection purposes, insulated cables of dif-
ferent colours should be used (usually red and
black, connected to the positive pole and nega-
tive pole - respectively) with sections:
10 mm² for lengths up to 6 metres
16 mm² for longer lengths.
On the generator side, each wire should be fixed
to an eyelet terminal with a Ø 6 mm hole. By ob-
serving polarity indications, fix the eyelets to the
studs + and - on the generator (fig.17 ref. 1,
fig.17 ref. 2) taking care to use two wrenches as
shown in fig.17, to stop the studs from turning.

5.4 Connection to a 230 V~ utility
Incorrect connections or connections
performed with wires not up to 230 V~ voltage
requirements can damage the generator and
its connected utilities as well as endanger
users.
The generator has a terminal strip for connection
to 230 V~ utilities (fig. 18 ref. 1) and another for
optional service connections (fig. 18 ref. 2).
Connection of 230 V~ utilities should be carried
out by using insulated leads with a 2.5 mm² sec-
tion, in compliance with the regulations in force.
The output terminals are marked with Ph
(Phase), N (Neutral) and GND (metal Ground).
