AVR (automatic voltage control to facilitate a stable output)

Generator to drive ohmic and induction appliance such as lighting chains, power hand tools (drills, chain saws, compressors). To be connected to stationary installations – heating, electric network, air conditioning – or to supply caravans – it is necessary to consult a specialised electrician.

We should not be held liable for any damage resulting from non-observance of these instructions.

Outfit (regular)

Socket with 230 V/CEE 16A 400 V 10 A protection pin, overloading fuse, oil shortage protection, transport wheels. Voltmeter

Caution! The critical point of induction appliances is the machine start up input. The input may be as much as a treble of nominal capacity. This should be always taken into account the data shown in the table are calculated values and may vary.

Guarantee

A warranty period of 12 months applies to commercial use and 24 months apply to private use and commences on the day of purchase of the device.

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

Simple line drawing of a 3D object with a small protrusion and label 'Fig. 2' (no text or symbols on the object itself)

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

Use of GSE 5500 DSG (# 40586) - Battery Starting

OFF ON ON OFF

Make sure that no appliance is connected to the unit.
- Open the fuel cock by turning it ON
- Switch the engine by on/off.
- Turn the starting key to the "Start" position (pic. 4) and pull the decompression lever at the same time. The generator should start in a few seconds. With the ignition being on, release the decompression lever again to start the generator.

CAUTION! If the first starting attempt is unsuccessful, interrupt starting and make another attempt. Do not stay more than 5 second in the starting position!

Never remove the battery pole cable at operation. That could result in a strong electrical shock.
