4. USING THE GENERATOR
4.1 Preliminary safety checks
Before beginning with any starting procedure, it is
extremely important to become “familiar” with the
generator and its controls. Furthermore, a visual
inspection must be carried out on the machine and the
installation.
Any potential or real danger must be eliminated before
proceeding.
•Identify the position of the emergency stop button,
switches and other emergency systems on the
generator.
•Learnthespecialemergencyproceduresrelativeto
the installation in question.
•Identify the position of the fire extinguisher or other
protection and emergency devices and learn their
functioning.
•Identify any sources of danger such as fuel, engine
oil or acid solution leaks, condensate in the drip
caps, high voltage, high pressure.
•Ensure that the generator is clean and that the
surrounding areas are clean and free of obstacles.
•Checkthattherearenoobstructionsintheinletsand
ventilation ducts.
•Check that the exhaust pipe is not oriented against
obstacles, or make sure that these are at least two
metres away.
•Check that the earth connection has been carried
out properly.
At first starting of the generator, after having done any
type of maintenance work, it is always good practice to
check:
-the oil level by means of the dipstick (see table of
recommended oils)
-that all the electrical utilities are off so that the
generator is not started on load
-that the fuel pipes are undamaged and properly
connected
-that there are no electrical connections in a bad
state.
4.2 Refuelling
Refuellingmustalwaysbecarried
out with the engine off.
-Do not smoke and do not use open flames
during refuelling.
-Refuel in well-ventilated places.
-Avoid contact of fuel with the skin and do not
inhale the fumes.
Petrol is highly toxic and
inflammable. Fuel must be kept in special airtight
containers and stored in inaccessible places.
Always use new petrol. Petrol
kept in containers for long periods of time forms
deposits which may damage the engine.
Do not use additives or special fluids to start the
engine, as the gaskets and other rubber parts may
get damaged.
Refuellingmustbecarriedoutwithextremecare,ensuring
that fuel does not overflow from the engine tank and
respectingthemaximumlevelindexmarkedbyaredline
on the tank fuel filter. Use lead-free and alcohol-free
petrol with a minimum octane rating of 87.
Leaded petrol may be used, provided that it is alcohol-
free.
Whenrefuellinghasbeencompleted,carefullyclosethe
fillercap.
4.3 Starting
Before starting the generator, check that:
-the main switch is in position “0” to prevent putting
the still cold engine under stress (Fig. 3 Ref. 1)
-theenginestopswitchisinposition“ON”(Fig.4Ref.2)
-the fuel tap lever is in position “ON” (Fig. 4 Ref. 3).
Iftheengineiscold,turnthestartlevertotherightbefore
trying to start (Fig. 5 Ref. 1)
(iftheengine is hot,the start leverneed notbe turnedto
the right).
Proceedby resolutely pullingthe self-windingcord(Fig.
2 Ref. 2) to start running the engine.
Repeattheoperationiftheenginedoesnotstartafterthe
first attempt.
Assoon as theenginehas started, returnthe startlever
to its original position.
To prevent damage to the self-
windingcord,neverreleaseitsuddenlyafterpulling
it to full travel, but guide it back until completely
rewound.
Presenceofelectricpoweronthe alternator is signalled
by a pilot lamp on the instrument panel.

4.4 Using the generator
Before connecting any utility leave the engine to run for
a few minutes so that it gradually reaches the operating
temperature.
Each generator is equipped with two outlets:
-both single-phase for models FM 3000 – 5000 –
8000 (Fig. 3 Ref. 5-10)
-onesingle-phaseandonethree-phaseoutletforthe
model FM 9000 (Fig. 3 Ref. 4-11).
The power available for the outlets is that indicated on
theadhesivelabelcarryingthetechnicalcharacteristics.
The sum of absorption of all the
utilities connected to the generator must never
exceedthecontinuouspowervalueofthegenerator.
4.5 Protections and warning signals
The generator is equipped with several protections and
warningsignalswhichsafeguarditagainstmalfunctioning
and improper use. These are:
-AC CIRCUIT PROTECTION: in case of a short-
circuit or overload, the automatic thermal switch
(Fig. 3 Ref. 2-B) trips interrupting current delivery
to the outlets.
To restore the thermal switch contact, after
having identified and eliminated the cause of the
cut-out and waiting for about a minute, press the
thermal switch button resetting it to the original
position (Fig. 3 Ref. 2-8).
-DCOUTPUTPROTECTION:incaseofanoverload,
short-circuit or polarity inversion of the DC outlet
terminals, the automatic thermal switch (Fig. 3 Ref.
7) trips interrupting current delivery.
To restore the thermal switch contact, after having
identified and eliminated the cause of the cut-out
and waiting for about a minute, press the thermal
switchbuttonresettingittotheoriginalposition(Fig.
3 Ref. 7).
-LOW OIL PROTECTION: this protection
automatically turns off the engine when the oil level
fallstobelowtheminimum.Thisissignalledbyared
light located on the engine (Fig. 4 Ref. 1).
4.6 Switching off
Beforeswitchingoff,disconnectanyloadsconnectedto
the outlets, close the fuel tap and let the engine idle for
about 10 seconds.
To switch off the engine, position the on/off switch to
“OFF” (Fig. 4 Ref. 2).
