You can connect single phase and three phase electrical consumers for this model. Both models have special developed power outlet to which you can connect maximal acceptable loading (8.5kVA).Also, these models have a DC output voltage.ATTENTION!To single phase power outlet of model EST 8.5b can be connected only single phase electrical consumers with maximal consumer power not more than 6.6kW. ATTENTION! To single phase power outlet of model EST 8.5-3b can be connected only single phase electrical consumers with maximal consumer power not more than 1/3 of electric station power (8,5/3=2,8kVA). If power of connected electrical consumer will be exceeded acceptable power of one phase (one power outlet) there may be phase imbalance arise and power station failed.

1918ATTENTION! It's forbidden to work with a missing air filter or when it is contaminated. This can lead to failure of the engine.7. Check the integrity and purity of the air filter.OilPower stations are supplied without motor engine oil. Pour motor oil into the proper neck (see fig. 4). It is located at the valve cap.figure 4 Figure 6 shows the recommended oil, depending on the ambient temperature. Do not use the power station when there is insufficient or excessive level of motor oil. It should be remembered that the quality of used oil is one of the main factors that affects the normal and continuous work of the engine. Using low-quality oil, you reduce the life of the engine at times.Please use the high quality oil. Do not use special additives to the recommended oil. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

ENGLISHENGLISH

5.2. BEFORE YOU BEGIN5.2. BEFORE YOU BEGIN Before using the power station you need to perform ongoing inspection:1. Carefully inspect the power cable for damage. Pay attention to the integrity of all electrical parts.2. Check hoses, flood openings and the oil tank cover, fuel valve, as well as other possible locations for leaks. If it is needed, fix the leak.3.Check engine oil level and, if necessary, add oil as needed.4.Check fuel level and, if necessary, top up with fuel. In the fuel tank should be kept small air lock for the possible expansion of the fuel vapors when heated.5.Check the mounting of main parts. If necessary, make the tightening of bolts and nuts.6. Check the integrity of the shock absorbers. If necessary, replace them.ATTENTION! Operating the power station with torn or defected shock absorber is prohibited. This can lead to excessive vibration and, consequently, to the failure of the power plant. Check the oil level with dipstick. Figure 5 shows minimal and maximal oil level at the dipstick. figure 5To meet right level of oil you should wait some time after oil filling. This time needed to oil flow down.The recommended rangeLimit of the applicationfigure 6

21FuelUse clean, fresh and unleaded fuels with octane number not lower than 92. Gasoline must be used within 30 days after purchase.Fuel level should be checked before starting the power station. If the engine just stopped, wait for 4-5 minutes or more, so that the engine is cooled down, and only then do the refueling. Refueling should be made so that the tank remained a small air lock for the possible expansion of the fuel vapors when heated.20ATTENTION! Do not use gasoline containing methanol or oil.ATTENTION! Refueling should take place only with the engine off!Air filterDirty air filters can cause hard engine starting, power loss, improper operation of the engine. In addition, dirty air filter can significantly reduce engine life. It is strongly recommended to check the status of the air filter and change it according to the regulations (see Chapter 6 "Maintenance").ATTENTION! It is forbidden to operate without the filter or unfixed filter cover!5.3. OPERATING THE POWER STATION5.3. OPERATING THE POWER STATIONATTENTION! At the beginning of the operation should be performed engine break-in. In detail, see the section below.WARNING! Make sure that the AC and DC power fuses are turned off! It is prohibited to start power station, if there are electricity consumers connected to it and powered! The connected load complicates the run of the power station and may damage it. START

The oil level should be checked in the horizontal position of the generator.

..figure 8 2322If after several attempts the engine has not been started, return the carburetor choke in position 󰾽RUN󰾾 and try to repeat above procedure. If there is not enough oil in the engine, it will not start. Check the oil level and, if necessary, add oil.3. Insert the ignition key and turn it into position "START" (Fig. 9) and hold it until the engine starts. After the start release the key. You shouldn't hold the key in "START" position more than 5 sec. If the engine didn't start, refer to "Possible malfunctions and how to solve them. figure 91. Open the fuel valve (see Fig. 7). Turn the fuel cock lever in position 󰾽ON󰾾.figure 7 2. If you start a cold engine (or the temperature is low - lower than +15 º C), turn the choke in position 󰾽CLOSE󰾾 (see Fig. 8). In this position of the air damper fuel mixture is enriched, which makes it easier to start. When you run a hot engine (or when the temperature is high enough) enrichment of the fuel mixture is usually not required. If the engine had time to cool down significantly, you may need a partial enrichment, i.e., partial overlap of the choke.

ENGLISHENGLISH

START WITH ELECTRIC STARTER If the engine didn't start, refer to "Possible malfunctions and how to solve them."5. Warm up the engine, letting it run for 1-5 minutes (depending on ambient temperature). You should not warm up the engine at high speeds, it reduces engine life.6. Once the engine is warmed up, it is necessary to remove enrichment of the fuel mixture. To do this, put the choke in position 󰾽RUN󰾾 (see Fig. 8). Adjustment of the choke should be done gradually so as not to drown the engine lean fuel mixture.

VAVAHzHV Electricity consumers can be divided by types of loads. Loads are active and reactive. The active load is the most common load, consumers with such loads of all the energy is converted into heat. Examples: incandescent lamps, irons, heaters, cookers, dryers, etc. To calculate the total power of consumers is sufficient to add the power specified on their labels.·Make sure the devices to be connected are intact and have no defects. Otherwise can occur electric shock or fire.·Ensure that the total electric power of all connected devices does not exceed the rated output power (for continuous operation). Do not connect electric loads capacity exceeding the maximum capacity of the power station.·The work time of the power station in the range between the nominal and maximum power should not exceed 5 minutes. Otherwise, it can cause damage to the power failure.·If you use an extension cord, make sure it is completely unwound, and the cable cross-section corresponds to the connected load. Unequal extension could lead to voltage drops, the cable overheating and instability of connected devices.·Do not overload electrical outlets power. Each outlet has a nominal power, to which it is designed. Try to distribute the load by equal parts between the power outlets. The maximum load on the power outlet is 16A.These single-phase alternating current power station produce AC 230V with frequency 50 Hz. They can only connect single-phase electric loads.It should be noted that many appliances have a so-called starting current which momentarily increase their power consumption by several times. That is, to power the device should be submitted to it the power necessary to run. Starting capacity of such devices should not exceed the maximum capacity of the power station.

Reactive loads are consumers with an electric motor, where the energy is consumed in addition on the creating an electromagnetic field. These consumers include pumps, machine tools, power tools, refrigerators, washing machines, etc. A measure of the reactivity parameter is cos . To calculate the actual power consumption of reactive power consumers is need to divide the power by cos . For example: if the drill 600 Watt power value of cos is 0.8, then its work will require power 600W / 0.8 = 750W. This should be considered when calculating the total power of the consumers connected to the generator. The value of cos such devices you can look at the plate, label or instructions of the corresponding device. It is necessary also to keep in mind the following: each power station has its own cos , which must be taken into account. For example, if it is equal to 0.8, for the above drill from the power station will require 750 W: 0.8 = 938 W. In order to avoid overloading the power station the total power of the connected devices should be calculated not more than 80% of rated power of the power station.To summarize, according to the rules of selection power station of the electric current:1.Starting power plug device with the highest starting current should not exceed the maximum output the power station.2.Total power consumption of all devices (with the reactive and active loads) should not exceed the rated output the power station.3.For proper operation of the power station should create power reserve of 20%.4.Connected power customers should not exceed the maximum output the power station outlet (16A).
