Unit
Synchronous generator with a large tank.
AVR (automatic voltage control to facilitate a stable output)
Generator to drive ohmic and induction appliance such as lighting chains, power hand tools (drills, chain saws, compressors ). To be
connected to stationary installations – heating, electric network, air conditioning – or to supply caravans – it is necessary to
consult a specialised electrician.
We should not be held liable for any damage resulting from non-observance of these instructions.
Outfit (regular)
Socket with 230 V/ 10 A protection pin, overloading fuse, oil shortage protection
A critical point of separate induction appliances is the machine start up input. The input may be as much as a treble
of nominal capacity. This should be always taken into account.

AVR (automatic voltage control)
The voltage automatic control provides for the generator voltage spikes to be within the range of values guaranteed by the power
supplying company and not to expose the electronic instruments to any risk.
Caution: Check before use of the appliance its usability for operation with the generator.
In electronically controlled devices have been previously obtained inquiries by the manufacturer (stereo, computer, TV,
camcorder, electronic hand tools with stepless regulation or chargers, for example) as a result of the combustion engine generator
generates a sine wave does not optimal.
Never switch on a second consumer, while another is already in operation. This leads inevitably to fluctuations, which can destroy an
electronically controlled device.
Transportation and Storage
Caution: The unit should be operated in the working position only (flat base) since the fuel or oil could otherwise flow out
and the lubrication is not guaranteed any more.
If the battery is employed, it should be taken out before any prolonged out-of-use period and stored at a safe dry
place (a heated area for example).
Assembly and Initial Operation
Assembly of the wheel undercarriage
The wheel undercarriage has to be mounted as shown in the picture 1-A.

Oil Filling
As a principle, the generator is delivered without any oil in it. Check the ambient temperature and us one of oils listed below
< 0° SAE 10 or 10W30; 10W40
0°-25° SAE 20 or 10W30; 10W40
25°-35° SAE 30 or 10W30; 10W40
35° > SAE 40 or 10W30; 10W40
amount 1,1 litre
Important notice: The generator has an oil shortage protection fitted. With a low oil level,
the unit is impossible to be started up (when a start is attempted, the oil level indicator will light).
Always check the oil level before every use.
Refuelling
Never refuel while the unit is running. Let the unit cool down for 5 minutes at least, only then it is possible to refuel.
Fuel : Unleaded petrol.
Never smoke close to the unit and fuel. Never refuel near sparkles, flames and open fire.
Important: Put away all the cables.
•Remove the cover from the filler hole.
•Pour the fuel in the filler hole carefully
•Never fill the tank above the fuel filter upper edge.
•Place the cover back on the filler hole
Initial Operation safety Instructions
No sensitive electronic instruments and HI-FI, television sets, computers should be connected because of voltage
spikes!
•Put the unit on a flat base. Do not put it on a metal base.
•Do not expose the unit to strong sunshine and temperatures above 40°C. Do not store it in moist ambient conditions.
•Before using it, make sure that the input of the appliance to be connected to the unit is lower than the output of the
generator.
•Do not connect the appliance to the generator before the later is running at full. Disconnect the appliance before
switching the generator off.
•Do not connect other sources to the unit. Do not connect it to the mains .
•Immediately switch the generator off under conditions as follows:
- unsteady or uneven engine run
- electrical output decline
- connected appliance overheating
- excessive generator vibrations
- sparkling
- smoke or fire
•Make sure that there is enough fuel before connecting the generator to the appliance
•Never refuel while the unit is running. Before refuelling, let the unit cool down for 54 minutes as a minimum after any
use.
•Never touch the unit hot parts.
•Do not store fuel near the unit.
•The silencer and the air filter work as flame trap. Make sure that the parts are installed correctly and in perfect
condition.
