1SAFETY REGULATIONS
- Readcarefullyallthe instructionsgiveninthishandbook
and in the installation manual; they are of the utmost
importancefor correctinstallation anduse ofthe unitand
for prompt intervention in case of need.
- Do not allow unskilled or untrained people to use the
unit.
- Do not allow children or animals to get close to the
generator while it is working.
- Donot handle thegeneratoror theremotecontrolpanel
with wet hands; any misuse may cause electric shocks.
- Any testing of theunit isto becarried outonly whenthe
engine is stopped. Possible checks on the generator
when its running have to be performed only by skilled
workers.
2PRELIMINARYCHECKS
On starting the generator for the first time and after any
servicing, it is advisable to make sure that:
- The oil is at the right level through the rod ref. 1 Fig. 1
, as per table for suggested oils.
- Thegenerator iswellsecured tothesoundproofing box
by means of the proper bolts.
- The electric loads are disconnected so as to avoid
starting the generator on load.
- Everyconnection (fuel, exhaust,remote control,A.C.,
battery) has been properly carried out and there are no
connections in bad conditions.
- The water cock is open, as per (ref. 2 fig. 2)
- Ifanon-return valveis used,the coolingcircuitfrom the
valve up to the pump has been manually filled (ref. 1 fig.
2)
3GENERATORUSE
Before starting the generator, make sure all preliminary
checks, as per item 1 , have been properly carried out
Starting
To start the engine push the button << ON >> (fig. 3 ref.
4),all thepilotand warninglampswill glow for5sec. about
in a self control function, later on only the << panel on >>
(fig. 3 ref. 5) and then start the engine pushing the button
<<Start >> (fig. 3 ref.3), for 5 sec. max. Release it only
when the engine runs. A correct generator functioning is
demostrated by the led (fig .3 ref. 6) glowing on. Once
started,thesafetydevicesofthegenerator areautomaticily
activated (see item. 4).
Generator Stop
The generator can be stopped ushing the <<OFF>>
button on the control panel (fig. 3 ref 2).
4SAFETY DEVICES
The generator has been equipped with a setof safety
devices in case ot any misuse or running trouble, as
follows:
- Low oil-pressure device:
it causes the generator shut-down in case of insufficient
oil pressure.Its interventionisshown bythe warning light
going on (fig. 3 Ref. 7). It is usually enough to top up the
oil before starting the generator again.
The low oil-pressure device does not necessarily show
the oil level; a check of the oil level is consequently
necessary at regular intervals.
-High temperature device:
itcauses generatorshut-down in caseof hightemperatu-
re of the engine. Its intervention is shown by the warning
light going on (fig.3 ref.8).Should this device come in to
operation,look for and eliminate the causes of the
intervention and then start the generator again.
-Alternator overload/over temperature device:
it comes into operation, stopping the generator, in case
of thermic or electric overload of the alternator.
Itsintervention isshownbythe relativewarninglight going
on(fig.3 ref.9).Waituntil thetemperatureofthealternator
windings goes back to the normal values. Its however
recommendedto look forandeliminate thecauses ofthe
intervention before starting the generator again.
Ifone oftheabove safetydevices intervenes,lookfor and
eliminatethe causesof theintervention,then pushthe <<
STOP >> button to avoid that signal keeps stored.
