Using The Generator Set - SDMO BOOSTER 2000 UK Maintenance Manual

4. Using the generator set

Do not run the generating set if the enclosure is not in place.
Never take the enclosure off, if the generating set is running
Danger
4.1. Starting procedure (A and D diagrams)
❶ Check that the earth wire is properly connected to the bolt (No. 4, fig. A)
❷ Turn the starter key (No. 6, diag. A) to contact position I
❸ Turn the fuel tap to "ON" position (No. 3, fig. A)
❹ Turn the starter (No. 1, fig. A) to the
❺ Hold the recoil starter handle (No. 2, fig. A) then pull it slowly until some resistance is felt, then slowly return
the handle to the recoil starter. Hold the starter handle again, then quickly pull it firmly (with both hands if
necessary). By hand, the motor starts. Slowly return the starter handle to the recoil starter.
❻ Once the motor has started, wait until the motor temperature starts to rise then gradually push the choke back
to its original position.
4.2. Running
4.2.1 Alternating current (diagram E)
When the running speed of the generating set has stabilised (approximately 3 minutes):
❶ Check the on/off light is on
❷ Connect the plug(s) to the generating set socket(s).
4.2.2 Direct current (diagram F)
The 12 V direct current is only used for charging car batteries.
The generating set should be stopped before connecting the electric cables.
Do not try to start a car engine, if the generating set is connected to the battery.
Warning
❶ Connect the cables to the generating set direct current sockets respecting the polarities (the generating set + to
the battery + and the generating set – to the battery –)
❷ Start the generating set to charge the battery.
4.3. Stopping (diagram G)
When the generating set is turned off, the motor continues to give off heat.
Appropriate ventilation should be provided after the generating set is turned off.
To stop the generating set quickly, turn the On/Off switch to stop "О".
Warning
❶ Take the plugs out of the sockets and allow the motor to run without any charge for 1 to 2 minutes.
❷ Turn the On/Off switch to stop "О", the generating set stops
❸ Turn off the fuel tap.
