3.3. Checking the starter battery
Never place the battery close to a flame or fire
Use only insulated tools
Never use sulphuric acid or acid water to top up the electrolyte level.
Danger
Take off the shut-off devices, if there are any, and cell caps or keyways. Fill the cells with electrolyte (the upper level should be 10 to 15 mm
above the plates).
Leave the battery to rest for 30 minutes and then top up the electrolyte levels. Use a clean, wooden stick to check the electrolyte level.
3.4. Earthing the generating set
To earth the generating set, use a 10 mm2 copper wire attached to the generating set earth connection and to an earthing rod of galvanised steel set in
the ground to a depth of 1 metre. This also dissipates the static electricity that builds up in the electrical machines.
3.5. Positioning the generating set for operation
Place the generating set on a flat, horizontal surface which is firm enough to prevent the set sinking down (under no circumstances should the set tilt
any direction by more than 10°).
Choose a site that is clean, well-ventilated and sheltered from bad weather, and store the additional supplies of oil and fuel within close proximity,
although respecting a certain distance for safety.
4. Using the generator set
4.1. Starting procedure (diagrams A, B and D)
Move the noise reducing deflector (No 23, fig A) forwards.
Check that the earth wire is properly connected to the bolt (No. 1, fig. B)
Turn the knob to open the main fuel tap (No.3, fig. A) located underneath the tank.
Generating set model SH 6000-2 UK
Turn the On/Off switch (No. 3, fig. B) to contact position I.
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 two hands
if necessary). The motor starts. Slowly return the starter handle back
against the starter.
Once the motor has started, wait until the motor temperature starts to
rise then gradually push the starter knob back to its original position.
4.2. Operation (diagram C)
When the running speed of the generating set has stabilised (approximately 3 minutes):
Connect the plugs into the generating set socket(s) (3).
Check that circuit breakers are connected. From now on, you can use your electrical appliances.
4.3. Switching off (diagrams A, B and D)
When the generating set is switched off, the engine continues to give off heat.
Appropriate ventilation should be provided after the generating set is switched off.
To stop the generating set immediately, move the engine ignition switch to OFF "O".
Warning
Take the plugs out of the sockets and allow the motor to run without any charge for 1 to 2 minutes.
Move the noise reducing deflector (No 23, fig A) forwards.
Generating set model SH 6000-2 UK
Turn the On/Off switch (No. 3, fig. B) to Off "О" ,the generating set
switches off.
Turn the knob to close the main fuel tap (No. 3, fig. A).
Move the noise reducing deflector (No 23, fig A) back to its initial position.
5. Safety features (if fitted, see specifications table)
5.1. Oil cut-out
This mechanism is designed to prevent any damage to the motor resulting from lack of oil in the motor sump. It automatically cuts out the motor. If
the motor stops and will not restart, check the motor oil level before looking for any other cause of the problem.
5.2. Circuit breaker
The electrical circuit of the set is protected by several magnetothermal, differential or thermal cut-out switches. Any overload and/or short circuits
cause the supply of electrical energy to be cut.
Turn the starter (No. 1, fig. A) to the position
Move the noise reducing deflector (No 23, fig A) back to its initial position.
Generating set model SH 6000 E-2 UK
Turn the On/Off key (No. 2, fig. D) to contact position I.
Turn the key (No. 2, fig. D) to the START position
there until the motor starts. Note: if the motor does not start within 15
seconds, stop trying and wait 2 minutes before trying again.
Once the motor has started, release the key (No. 2, fig. D) and wait
until the motor temperature starts to rise then gradually push the starter
knob back to its original position.
Generating set model SH 6000 E-2 UK
Turn the On/Off key (No 2, fig. D) to Off "О" , the generating set
switches off.
