Frequently Asked Questions - SE 5500 SF Herkules

What type of fuel should I use?

Use unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 95 or higher. Avoid using old or contaminated fuel.

How do I start the generator?

Ensure proper oil and fuel levels. Turn the fuel valve to ON, set the choke to CLOSE, and pull the recoil starter or use the electric start. Once started, open the choke gradually.

What oil is recommended?

Use SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40, API certified oil. Check oil level regularly and change according to the maintenance schedule.

How often should I change the oil?

Change the oil after the first 20 hours of operation, then every 100 hours or once a season.

What is the maximum load?

The generator can handle a peak load of 5500W and a continuous rated load of 5000W. Do not exceed these limits.

Can I run the generator indoors?

No, never operate the generator indoors or in enclosed spaces. It produces carbon monoxide (CO) which is deadly.

How do I maintain the air filter?

Clean the air filter every 50 hours of use. If heavily soiled, replace it. A clean air filter ensures proper engine performance.

What does the low oil shutoff do?

The low oil shutoff automatically stops the engine when the oil level drops below a safe limit, preventing engine damage.

How long will the generator run on a full tank?

At 50% load, the generator runs approximately 10 hours on a full tank of 25 liters.

Is this generator compatible with sensitive electronics?

For sensitive electronics like computers or TVs, we recommend using a voltage regulator or an inverter generator, as standard generators may have voltage fluctuations.

USER MANUAL SE 5500 SF Herkules

This "power station" supplies energy and provides security.

Power will be available whenever it is needed. Power failures or insufficient current supply are no longer a problem; whether during camping, at building sites, in homes or cottages, on boats or in the garden. This equipment can be used nearly everywhere, and, with its maximum power supply of 5,500 watts, provides sufficient power for many applications. The large 25-litre metal tank ensures continuous operation for 9.5 hours at 2/3 load. The power generator is powered by a high-quality 4-stroke engine and is equipped with an overload switch.

The automatic voltage regulation adjusts the motor power according to the decreased power and acquire the voltage to estimated standard again.
