To ensure the reliability of the generator and increase its lifespan, the peak capacities may be slightly limited by circuit breakers. The optimum operating conditions are ambient temperature of 17 – 25 °C, barometric pressure of 0.1 MPa (760 mm Hg), and relative humidity of 50 – 60%. Under such ambient conditions, the generator can guarantee maximum performance in terms of the stated specifications.
TERMS OF USE OF DIESEL GENERATOR It is recommended to ground the generator before operating it for the first time. Before starting the device, remember that the total power of the connected power consumers should not exceed the rated power of the generator. Types of Power Consumers and Start-up Current There are two types of power consumers (electrical devices connected to the generator): active and reactive.
Be sure to charge the battery before operating the models equipped with electric starters. Charge the battery with an optional charger (not included), or allow the generator to operate at 50% load for at least one hour when operating for the first time. IMPORTANT! The type of diesel fuel must comply with the operating season! CONTROL PANEL...

GETTING STARTED Before starting the engine make sure that the power rating of tools or power consumers corresponds to that of the generator. Do not exceed the rated power of the generator. Do not connect any devices before the engine start! IMPORTANT! Do not change the controller settings in terms of the amount of fuel or speed governor (this adjustment was made at the...
STARTING THE GENERATOR - Do not connect any power consumers to the generator before the engine start. - Connect the terminals to the battery and pay attention to the correct polarity (plus/+ to plus/+, minus/- to minus/-). - Set the ignition key to ON. - Turn the key clockwise to the START position.

IMPORTANT! Disconnect all devices before stopping the generator! Do not stop the generator if it has any devices connected to it. This may disable the generator! Connecting Power Consumers After switching on the generator, make sure that the voltmeter readings correspond to the nominal ones (230 V +/-5% @ 50 Hz for single-phase generator and 400 V +/-5% 50 Hz for three-phase generator).
MAINTENANCE Maintenance work listed in section «Maintenance» should be performed on a regular basis. If you cannot perform maintenance work on your own, please contact the authorized service center to request the required maintenance work. IMPORTANT! The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage caused by failure to perform maintenance work.

Fig. 6 10W-30 10W-40 Replacing or adding motor oil If the oil level drops, fresh oil must be added to ensure proper operation of the generator. Check the oil level according to the maintenance schedule. To drain oil, proceed as follows: 1.
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE The air filter should be checked for contamination from time to time. Regular maintenance of the air filter is necessary to maintain sufficient air flow in the carburetor. The maintenance intervals should be shorter when operating the generator in dusty environments.
FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT AND CLEANING The ТМ Könner & Söhnen diesel generator uses two types of fuel filters. They prevent debris from diesel fuel from penetrating the engine. Coarse fuel filter (located in the tank filler). The filter should be removed for cleaning every 500 operating hours after the probable ingress of solid particles in it.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND CHARGING For ТМ Könner & Söhnen models with electric start, check the battery voltage from time to time. The battery used in the generator should have a voltage of 12 V; if the voltage is lower, charge the battery using an external charger. To avoid battery discharge, it is recommended to run the generator for 30 minutes at least once a month.
REGULAR INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE GENERATOR It is essential to regularly inspect and maintain the generator to ensure serviceability and long-term operation of the generator engine. Inspection types and intervals are given in the table below. ATTENTION - DANGER! - Stop the engine before performing any maintenance work.
