Higher starting current of induction appliances must be considered. The unit has been designed for operation of common eective and induction appliances such as light chains, electric hand tools (drills, electric chain saws, compressors). Inverter The rotor generates a 3-phase AC voltage of up to 500 Hertz depending on rotation speed. The inverter then converts this to 50 Hertz AC. This achieves a very high quality electrical waveform with minimal distortion and optimum voltage stability. A clean sine wave and minimal power uctuations means it can also be used to operate electrically controlled consumers. When connected to a stationary device such as heating, electrical power, air conditioning equipment or for the supply of mobile homes, it is necessary to contact a professional electrician and heating manufacturer as far as connection and grounding is concerned. Not observing general regulations in force and instructions from this manual does not make the manufacturer liable for damages. Protective equipment „Protective separation with potential balancing“ is provided and integrated by the producer. Please note that our equipment has not been designed for commercial, craft or industrial use. If the equipment is used in commercial, craft or industrial operation or for similar activities, we cannot assume any liability. The machine may only be used in a technically perfect condition and taking into account all safety information. Connection, installation and operation Caution: Before using the product it is essential to check whether the appliance is suitable to be operated with the unit. Specications of the ap- pliance must always match the details and safety instructions of the unit. Do not connect the appliance before the unit is run

ning at full speed. Disconnect the appliance before turning the unit o. Never connect another appliance when there is one being operated. This would inevitably lead to uctuations able to destroy electronically controlled equipment. The electric energy consumption is the critical point of an induction appliance ehen starting. Electric energy consumption can be 3-5 times higher than the rated power that must necessarily be considered.

Electrical safety Electric supply cables and connected equipment must be in perfect condition. Do not connect the unit with other energy sources. Do not connect the unit to home network. Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit breakers specially matched to the generating set. If the circuit breakers require replacement they must be replaced with a circuit breaker having identical ratings and performance characteristics. Due to high mechanical stresses only tough rubber- sheathed exible cable (in accordance with IEC 245-4) or the equivalent should be used. Extension cables (H07RN…) approved to be used out- doors and properly marked to be used outdoors only. Provide adequate grounding. When using extension cables, their total length may not exceed 50 m in respect of 1.5 mm2 and 100 m in respect of 2.5 mm2. Before start-up Safe operation requires sucient operator knowledge of the functions and positions of the controls and indicators or meters. Pay attention to the illustrated pages in the front section of the manual. The appliance should only be used when in a perfect state. Carry out a visual inspection before swit- ching the appliance on. Check especially the safety equipment, electrical control elements, power lines and screw couplings for any damage and if they are tightened appropriately. Replace any damaged parts before the appliance is put into operation if necessary. The unit may only be operated in the operating posi- tion (at surface) as fuel or oil may leak or lubrication will no longer be provided. Starting the engine The unit is protected against low oil level. When the oil level is too low, the unit cannot be started (oil indicator turns on in case of attempted starting).
