5. Proper use

The power generator is suitable for devices that are intended to operate on a 230 V/400 V AC or 12 V DC voltage source.

With household devices and electronic devices, please check the suitability according to the respective manufacturer's specifications.

Attention! The power generator must not be connected to the mains supply as a domestic emergency power supply. It can cause damage to the power generator or other electrical devices.

AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation):

The automatic voltage regulation system ensures that the voltage fluctuations of the power generator are within the range guaranteed by the power supply companies and thus do not pose a danger to electronic equipment.

However, one should always check before use whether the consumption is suitable for operation with a power generator. In the case of extremely sensitive electronics, make enquiries with the manufacturer (such as televisions, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) beforehand, as a power generator produces a non-constant sine wave voltage due to the combustion engine.

The machine may only be used in the intended manner. Any use beyond this is improper. The user/operator, not the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or injuries of any type resulting from this.

An element of the intended use is also the observance of the safety instructions, as well as the assembly instructions and operating information in the operating manual.

Persons who operate and maintain the machine must be familiar with it and must be informed about potential dangers.

In addition, the applicable accident prevention regulations must be strictly observed.

Other general occupational health and safety-related rules and regulations must be observed.

The liability of the manufacturer and resulting damages are excluded in the event of modifications of the machine.

Please note that our equipment was not designed with the intention of use for commercial or industrial purposes. We assume no guarantee if the device is used in commercial or industrial applications, or for equivalent work.

6. Safety instructions

We have marked points in this operating manual that impact your safety with this symbol.

Furthermore, the operating manual contains other important text sections that are marked with the word "ATTENTION!".

Attention!

When using equipment, several safety warnings must be observed to prevent injuries and damage. For this reason, please carefully read this operating manual / safety instructions. If you hand the device over to another person, please hand over this operating manual / safety instructions as well. We accept no liability for accidents or damage that occur due to a failure to observe this manual and the safety instructions.

DANGER

A failure to observe these instructions poses an extreme danger of death or the risk of life-threatening injuries.

WARNING

A failure to observe these instructions poses a danger of death or the risk of serious injuries.

CAUTION

A failure to observe these instructions poses a minor to moderate danger of injury.

NOTE!

A failure to observe these instructions poses a risk of damage to the engine or other property.

1) It is prohibited to make any modifications to the power generator.

2) The manufacturer's preset speed must not be changed. Power generators or connected devices may be damaged.

3) Danger of poisoning! Exhaust gases, fuel and lubricants are poisonous, exhaust gases may not be inhaled.

4) Fire risk! Fuel and fuel vapours are highly flammable or explosive.

5) Engine exhaust gases are toxic. The power generator must not be operated in unventilated rooms. If the power generator is to be operated in well-ventilated rooms, the exhaust gases must be discharged directly outside via an exhaust gas hose. Additional requirements for protection against fire and explosion must also be observed. Toxic exhaust gases can also escape when operating an exhaust hose. Because of the risk of fire, the exhaust hose must never be directed at flammable materials.

6) Never operate the power generator in rooms with highly flammable substances.

7) Hot surfaces! Danger of burns, do not touch exhaust system and drive unit.
8) Do not touch any mechanically moving or hot parts. Do not remove any protective covers.
9) Protective equipment! Use suitable hearing protection when you are near the device.
10) Only original parts may be used for maintenance and accessories.
11) Repair and adjustment work may only be carried out by authorised specialist personnel.
12) Protect yourself from electrical hazards.
13) Never touch the power generator with wet hands.
14) Only use approved and appropriately identified extension cables for use outdoors (H07RN).
15) If extension leads or mobile distribution networks are used, the resistance value must not exceed 1.5 Ω. As a guideline value, the total length of lines for a cross-section of 1.5mm^2 should not exceed 60 m, and for a cross-section of 2.5mm^2 , 100 m should not be exceeded.
16) Never operate the power generator during rain or snowfall.

23) Some parts of the reciprocating internal combustion engine are hot and may cause burns. The warnings on the power generator must be observed.
24) Values specified in the technical data under sound power level (L_WA) and sound pressure level (L_pA) represent emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. Since there is a correlation between emission and exposure levels, it cannot be reliably used to determine any additional precautionary measures that may be required.

Factors influencing the current exposure level of the worker include the characteristics of the workspace, other noise sources, airborne noise, etc., such as the number of machines and other adjacent processes and the length of time an operator is exposed to the noise. The permitted exposure level may also vary from country to country.

Nevertheless, this information will enable the operator of the machine to make a better assessment of the risks and hazards. If necessary, acoustical measurements should be taken after installation to determine the sound pressure level.

25) Warning! Comply with the electrical safety regulations applicable to the place where the power generators are used.
26) Warning! Consider the requirements and precautionary measures in case of re-supply of a system by power generators depending on the protective measures of this system and the applicable directives.
27) Power generators should only be used up to their rated power under the rated ambient conditions. If the power generator is used in conditions that do not comply with the reference conditions according to ISO 8528-8:2016, 7.1, and if the cooling of the engine or power generator is impaired, e.g. as a result of operation in restricted areas, a reduction in power is required.
28) Due to high mechanical loads, only durable rubber hose lines (per IEC 60245-4) or equivalent equipment should be used.
29) Observe the electrical safety regulations applicable to the place where the power generator is used.
30) Consider the requirements and precautionary measures in case of re-supply of a system by power generators depending on the protective measures of this system and the applicable directives.

Electrical safety

1. Prior to use, the generator and its electrical equipment (including lines and plug connectors) should be checked to ensure that there are no defects.

2. The power generating unit must not be connected to another power source such as the power supply of energy supply companies. In special cases where a reserve connection to existing electrical systems is provided, this must only be carried out by a qualified electrician who will take into account the differences between the operated equipment using the public mains and operation of the power generating unit. According to this part of ISO 8528, the differences in the operating manual must be specified.

3. Protection against electric shocks depends on the circuit breakers which are matched precisely to the power generating unit. If a circuit breaker must be replaced, this should be done using a circuit breaker with the same rating and performance characteristics.

ATTENTION: Only use diesel as fuel.

Handling fuel

Danger to life! Fuel is toxic and highly flammable.

• Only store fuel in containers (canisters) designed and tested for this purpose. The tank caps must always be properly screwed on and tightened. Defective caps must be replaced for safety reasons.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, permanent flames, heat sources and other sources of ignition. Do not smoke!
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling.
• Before refuelling, switch off the combustion engine and let it cool down.
• Fuel must be filled before starting the combustion engine. While the combustion engine runs or if the machine is hot, the fuel cap must not be opened and fuel must not be filled.
• Open the fuel cap carefully and slowly. Wait for the pressure to equalise and only then remove the fuel filler cap completely.
• Use a suitable funnel or filler pipe for refuelling so that no fuel can spill onto the combustion engine and housing or lawn.

Do not overfill the fuel tank!

• To leave room for the fuel to expand, never fill the fuel tank beyond the lower edge of the filling nozzle. Observe additional information in the combustion engine user manual.
• If fuel has overflowed, do not start the combustion engine until the area contaminated with fuel has been cleaned. Avoid starting the engine until the fuel vapours have evaporated (wipe dry).

Always wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
- If fuel has got on clothing, it must be changed.
- The tank cover must be properly screwed on and tightened after each refuelling operation. The device must not be put into operation without the original tank cover screwed on.
- For safety reasons, check fuel line, fuel tank, fuel cap and connections regularly for damage, ageing (brittleness), tight fit and leaks and replace if necessary.
- Only empty the tank outdoors.
- Never use beverage bottles or similar to dispose of or store operating materials, such as fuel. People, especially children, could be tempted to drink from it.
- Never store the device with fuel in the tank inside a building. Any fuel vapours produced can come into contact with naked flames or sparks and ignite.
- Do not place the device and fuel tank near heaters, radiant heaters, welding machines or other sources of heat.

Risk of explosion!

If a defect is detected on the tank, the tank cover or on fuel-carrying parts (fuel lines) during operation, the combustion engine must be switched off immediately. Then consult a specialist dealer.

Battery safety

• To avoid spark formation due to a short circuit, always disconnect the negative cable (-) from the battery first and reconnect it last.
• Never smoke during work on the battery. Always keep sparks, naked flames and other heat sources away from the battery.
• Special care must be taken when using jumper cables. Follow relevant instructions to avoid damage to the device (in particular, do not operate the starter for more than 10 seconds).
• Never open the battery and do not drop it.
  Always charge the battery in a closed room with good ventilation, dry and protected against the weather.
• Do not short-circuit battery connections.

• Deformed or defective (leaking) batteries must not be used and must be replaced and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Observe the country-specific regulations.

• If the batteries are defective, liquid may leak out. Avoid contact! In case of accidental contact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin irritation, burns and chemical burns.

• Regularly visually inspect the connection cables on the battery for damage. Have damaged cables replaced by a specialist.
• Never bypass the fuses. Never use a fuse with a rating other than the prescribed rating (amperes).

Residual risks

The device is state-of-the-art and has been built in accordance with the recognised technical safety rules. However, individual residual risks can arise during operation.

• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met, some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety Instructions" and the "Intended Use" together with the operating manual as a whole are observed.
• Avoid accidental start-ups of the power generator.
• Use the device in the way that is recommended in this operating manual. This is how to ensure that your power generator provides optimum performance.

10. Then screw the oil dipstick (20) in again.
11. Close the maintenance door (5).

9.3 Filling in fuel (Fig. 10) Attention!

The power generator is delivered without fuel. It is therefore essential to fill with fuel before commissioning.

1. Unscrew the fuel filler cap (2).
2. Use a suitable funnel (not included) to fill a maximum of 16 l of diesel into the fuel tank.
3. Ensure that the fuel tank is not overfilled and that no fuel is spilled. Always use a fuel filter insert (28). Clean up spilled fuel immediately and wait until the fuel vapours have evaporated (wipe dry).
4. Check the sight glass (1) while filling in the fuel. The red mark in the sight glass (1) indicates the minimum fill level.
5. Retighten the fuel filler cap (2). ATTENTION!

Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.

If the engine was in operation immediately before, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the engine in a building where the fuel vapour may come into contact with flames or sparks.

Fuel is highly inflammable and explosive. When handling fuels, you may suffer burns or other severe injuries.

10. Operation

Before starting the engine, make sure that the power of the consumers corresponds to the capacities of the power generator. Do not exceed the rated power. Do not connect any consumers before starting the engine! The power generator is suitable for 230V and 400V AC voltage devices.

A 12V battery can be charged at the positive and the negative terminals on the 12V DC connections (15). Use an adapter cable for this (not included in the scope of delivery).

You can use the 12V voltage simultaneously with 230 V or with 400 V.

Attention! The power generator must not be connected to the mains supply as a domestic emergency power supply. It can cause damage to the power generator or other electrical devices.

10.1 Starting the engine (Fig. 1, 3, 11)

Attention! Danger of poisoning!

• Only use the device outdoors and never in closed or poorly ventilated rooms.

Note: The battery (C) must be charged and connected in order to start the power generator. To do this, check the state of charge on the battery display (C) (green: sufficiently loaded, black: must be loaded, white: replace the battery).

Do not connect any consumers before starting the generator.

1. Use the locking mechanism (6) to open the maintenance door (5).
2. Check that the mechanical ON/OFF switch (27) is engaged in the correct position (RUN). Important! The mechanical ON/OFF switch (27) is set at the factory and may not be changed.
3. Close the maintenance door (5).
4. Switch on the 230V / 400V circuit breaker (23) (ON position).
5. Insert the ignition key (A) into the ignition (10).
6. Turn the ignition key (A) to the "ON" position
7. Note: If the engine is being started for the first time, several tries are required to start until the fuel has been delivered from the tank to the engine.
8. Now connect the corresponding consumer.

Note: If the device's battery (C) is empty, the engine cannot be started.

To avoid discharging the battery, it is recommended to operate the power generator for at least 30 minutes once a month. If the power generator is not used for a longer period of time, disconnect the battery from the terminals.

Note: With high outside temperatures, it may be necessary to start the power generator without the choke even when the engine is cold!

Note:

400V heavy current:

The load of a three-phase power generator must be distributed over all three phases, balancing the load for all phases.

The load per phase must not exceed 1/3 of the total generator power. The permissible imbalance shall not exceed 20% . A load of only the first or second phase results in a failure. The total load and current for all three phases must not exceed the normal load and current of the power generator.

10.2 Switch off the engine (Fig. 1, 3)

Allow the power generator to run for a short time (approx. 30 seconds) without load before switching it off so that it can "cool down". To do so, switch off the connected consumers.

1. Turn the ignition key (A) to the "OFF" position.
2. Disconnect the consumers from the device.

ATTENTION:

• Do not switch off the power generator when the connected loads are in operation.
• Use the mechanical ON/OFF switch (27) only in an emergency.

10.3 Overload protection - circuit breaker 230 V / 400 V (13) (Fig. 3)

The overload protection becomes active if the power consumption is too high and switches off the 230V or 400V socket. The circuit breaker 230V / 400V (13) is automatically set to the "OFF" position.

1. Switch the device off as described in section 10.2.
2. Disconnect the consumers from the device.
3. Wait a minute.
4. Set the 230V / 400V circuit breaker (13) to "ON".

Attention! Defective circuit breakers may only be replaced with identical circuit breakers with the same power data. Contact customer service for this.

10.4 "RESET" button (14) for 12 V (Fig. 3)

If the overload protection has been triggered, the "RESET" button (14) restores the output power of the power generator. It is then not necessary to restart the engine.

1. Wait a minute.
2. Press the "RESET" button (14).

10.5 Oil warning indicator (11) and automatic oil cut-off (Fig. 3)

The oil warning indicator (11) lights up red when starting. If enough oil has been filled in, the oil warning indicator (11) goes out again after starting. If the oil level is too low, the oil warning indicator (11) continues to light up red and the device does not start.

If the oil level drops below the defined minimum level during operation, the oil warning indicator (11) starts to light up red. The automatic oil shut-off switches off the power generator to prevent damage to the engine.

It is not possible to start the engine until the engine oil has been filled (see chapter 9.2).

10.6 Winter operation

As the power generator is driven by a diesel engine, special measures must be taken for winter operation. The use of "winter diesel" is required if operating the power generator in outside temperatures of -3^ to -10^ Celsius. The switchover of the diesel fuel to "winter diesel" takes place mainly at the end of October, differing from country to country. Ask your filling station about the time to switchover to "winter diesel".

• If the power generator is operated regularly, measures do not need to be taken as the switchover to "winter diesel" takes place automatically.
• If the power generator is not used for a long time in the autumn, but will be used again in the winter, it is recommended to keep the fuel tank almost empty. Ask your filling station about the time to switch over to "winter diesel" and fill the tank with "winter diesel" before use in outdoor temperatures from -3^ to -10^ Celsius.
  If, however, the diesel fuel "congeals", the power generator must be brought into a room with temperatures of approx. +10^ Celsius for approx. 12 hours.
• Empty the fuel tank (see chapter 11.8). If almost empty or up to half empty, it is sufficient to fill up with "winter diesel".
• Fill the fuel tank with "winter diesel".

11. Cleaning and maintenance

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key (A) from the ignition lock (10). Set the mechanical ON/OFF switch (27) to the "STOP" position.

ATTENTION! Danger of burning! Wait until the device has cooled down before cleaning or maintenance.

ATTENTION!

Take any contaminated maintenance material and operating materials to a collection point designated for this purpose.

11.1 Cleaning

Keep protective devices, air vents and the engine housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub the device clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with compressed air at low pressure. We recommend that you clean the device directly after every use.
