2. Safety • To limit potentially dangerous situations, isolate the area around the machine, thus preventing any unau- thorized personnel from getting close to it. Although the machines produced comply with the regulations on electromagnetic compatibility, do not place the machine near equipment influenced by the presence of magnetic fields. •...
2. Safety Precautions during fuel and engine oil filling • Fuel and engine oil are flammable. Refill with the engine off. • Refuel only outdoors or in well-ventilated environments. • Do not smoke or use naked flames during refuelling. • Do not fuel with the engine running or hot.
2. Safety 2.11 Precautions for disposal of waste material • Be sure to store the waste liquid in containers or tanks. • Do not discharge the oil directly into the soil or sewage system, rivers, seas or lakes. • When disposing of harmful waste such as oil, fuel, cool- ant, solvents, filters and batteries, follow current laws and regulations.

6. Operation Operation WARNING • Before positioning and starting the machine, read section “2. Safety” carefully. • Do not overload the generator because it may get damaged. • When powering precision equipment, electronic controllers, computers, microcomputer-based equi- pment or chargers, keep the generator at a sufficient distance to avoid electromagnetic interference caused by the engine.
6. Operation Improper connection D5262370 Total load Make sure that the total load is within the power of the generator. Alternating current load (AC) Purely resistive loads (e.g. incandescent lamps, electric Power factor: 1 Rated power: ≤ 3600 W resistance stoves, electric water heaters, irons) Loads with high starting current (e.g.
6. Operation Example Rated output of the generator ≤ 3600 W Power Rated Frequency factor power ≤ 2880 W Alternating current (AC) ≤ 1440 W Direct current (DC) ≤ 96 W (12V/8.3A) Grounding WARNING • The machine is not equipped with a residual current circuit breaker, and must not be connected to a grounding system.
6. Operation Checks before start-up WARNING • The machine is shipped without engine oil. Before starting the machine, fill it with oil. For the details, see “7. Maintenance”. 1. Check the oil and fuel levels. For details, see “7.2 Fuel” and “7.3 Engine oil”. 2.

6. Operation 4. Electric start. Press the electric start button and wait for the engine to start. D5262410 5. After starting the engine, turn the multifunction switch to the ON position. D5262330 6. Turn the engine speed adjustment switch (ESC) to the ON position.
6. Operation Stopping the engine WARNING • In case of emergency, turn the multi-function switch to the OFF position. 1. Disconnect or turn off any load connected to the generator, Important • Allow the engine to cool down by letting it run for about 60 seconds with no loads atta- ched before stopping it.

6. Operation Direct current operation (DC) 6.8.1 Charging a battery WARNING • Lead batteries generate hydrogen gas and are dangerous because they could cause explo- sions. While charging the battery, wear protective gloves and goggles, do not smoke and do not move material that could generate sparks close to the unit.
Only use the parallel box provided by MOSA. • Connect the parallel box only to the MOSA inverter generators. The generators must be of the same model. Example: GE 4500 MI-EAS with another GE 4500 MI-EAS • Do not disconnect the parallel cables while the generator is running and the power cables are connected.
6. Operation 3. Take the load from the generators connected in parallel using the sockets on the parallel box. Note • The power delivered is split halfway between the two generators. • The maximum withdrawable power from the generators connected in parallel is the sum of the rated powers of each single generator.
7. Maintenance Maintenance WARNING • Before proceeding with maintenance, carefully read section “2. Safety”. • Place the generator on a level surface and remove the spark plug cap. for details see “7.6 Checking and replacing the spark plug”. Ordinary Maintenance Schedule Frequency Each First 1 month...
7. Maintenance Fuel Only use gasoline and fill the tank with clean fuel. D5262440 1. Stop the engine and wait for it to cool down. 2. Rotate the tank cap (1) counter clockwise and remove 3. Fill the fuel tank up to the red line (2) of the maximum level (Max.), and immediately dry any spilled fuel.

7. Maintenance 3. Remove the engine fill cap (2) and wipe the oil level dipstick (3) with a cloth. 4. Insert the cap (2) into the filler neck without screwing it in, and remove it again to check the oil level on the dipstick (3).
7. Maintenance Engine air filter WARNING • If the generator runs in rooms with a lot of dust, clean the air filter every 10 hours and replace it every 25 hours. 7.4.1 Cleaning 1. Remove the screws (1) and the cover (2). D5262480 2.
7. Maintenance Cleaning the spark guard WARNING • Wait for the engine to cool down before performing this maintenance operation. 1. Lift the handle (1), remove the screws (2) and the cover (3). D5262510 2. Loosen the bolt (3) and remove the cap (4) and the grid (5).
7. Maintenance Checking and replacing the spark plug 1. Remove the screw (1), remove the cover (2), and re- move the spark plug cap. 2. Use the wrench supplied and unscrew the spark plug. 3. Use a brass brush to remove soot and dirt and run a damp cloth to remove any residue.
7. Maintenance Storage • Carefully clean the fairings and all other machine parts. • If the machine is not used for more than 30 days, make sure that the machine is protected from heat sources and from weather phenomena that can cause rust, corrosion of the components and damage to the machine.
