1. Switch off all connected electric devices.
2. Switch off the engine
3. Reduce the total power of the connected electric
devices within the rated output power
4. Check ventilation grille and operating panel for
contamination and clean if necessary
5. Restart the engine after the check
If electric devices requiring a high starting current
(such as a compressor or submersible pump) are
used, the overload indicator lamp can light up for
a few seconds. However, this is not a malfunc-
tion.
AC indicator lamp (green)
The AC indicator lamp lights up if the engine is running
and power is generated.
DC safety switch (
The DC safety switch switches automatically to "OFF"
( 16/2), if electric consumers are connected to the
generator and the electrical power is greater than the
operating current.
Switch on the DC safety switch again by pressing the
"ON" button ( 16/1) in order to use the machine
again.
Important!
If the DC safety switch switches to "OFF", reduce
the total power of all connected consumers to
the maximum rated power (DC) of the generator.
Please contact the AL-KO service centre if the
DC safety switch permanently switches to "OFF".
ESC (Engine Smart Control)
"ON"
If the ESC switch is switched to "ON", the Economy
control unit controls the engine speed depending on the
power of the connected electric devices. This results in
lower fuel consumption and less noise.
"OFF"
If the ESC switch is switched to "OFF", the engine runs at
nominal speed (5000 rpm) regardless of any connected
electric devices.

The ESC switch must be set to "OFF" if electric
devices with high starting current (such as a com-
pressor or submersible pump) are connected.
Connecting power consumers to AC
Important!
The total power of all connected consumers must
not exceed the maximum rated power of the
generator
1. Check whether the AC indicator lamp is lit
2. Plug consumer into the socket of the generator
If several consumers are connected to the gen-
erator, connect and switch on the first consumer
(consumer with highest power) first. Then con-
nect and switch on further consumers.
Disconnecting power consumers
1. Disconnect consumer from the socket of the
generator
Connecting a 12-Volt (car) battery for charg-
ing
Important – Danger of explosion!
Do not mix up the charging cables during battery
connection
Important
Observe the information of the battery manufac-
turer regarding battery charging
2. Start the engine
3. Connect the battery charging cable to the DC
connection (12 V)
4. Connect the red charging cable with the positive
battery terminal
5. Connect the black charging cable with the negative
battery terminal
6. Switch the ESC switch to "OFF" to start charging
