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.
Producer (HIFI, PC, TV, Camcorder, etc.) needs to be asked in advance as far as extremely sensitive electronics is concerned as the generator, due to the combustion engine, does not produce constant sinusoidal voltage.
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
CAUTION: The generator must be switched on for about 10 minutes every three months.
Attention, important notice: At appliances with electric starting system!

Insert a battery before you start the appliance for the first time. Appropriate battery type: 12V -
17Ah with flat pole connections, max. dimensions: w: 182 mm x h: 166,70 mm x d: 77,50 mm
ATTENTION, IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTION

You must make sure there is sufficient fuel in the generator and engine oil before every start.
Fuel pipe blow-through performed by an authorised service centre might be necessary when the fuel system is absolutely empty!
PREVENT EMPTYING OF THE FUEL TANK!
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 of # 40586 filling: max. 1,65 l

Important notice: The generator has an oil shortage protection fitted. With a low oil level, the 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.
Electrical Start Battery on GSE 5500 D (# 40586) only
The battery is not included!
- Check the battery every 3 months!
- Download and check the battery in principle when removed.
- Remove the cord and insulate the contacts carefully to avoid a short circuit on.
If the generator is out of use for a longer time:
Remove the battery and store it in a safe and dry place (eg, wintering in the boiler room)

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: Diesel

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! These instruments could be damaged.
- 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.
Operation
