2. Safety Instructions

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.

• Carbon Monoxide Hazard: Never operate the generator indoors or in poorly ventilated areas. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and deadly gas.
• Electrical Shock Hazard: Do not operate the generator in wet conditions. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and properly grounded. Never touch live electrical parts.
• Fire Hazard: Fuel is highly flammable. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool. Do not smoke or allow open flames near the generator. Store fuel in approved containers.
• Hot Surfaces: The generator engine and muffler become very hot during operation and remain hot for some time after shutdown. Avoid contact to prevent burns.
• Moving Parts: Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and belts.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the generator at all times.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE, including hearing protection, when operating the generator.
• Read the Manual: Always read and understand the entire instruction manual before operating or servicing the generator.

3. Setup and Preparation

Before starting the generator, perform the following checks and preparations:

1. Unpacking and Placement:

   Carefully remove the generator from its packaging. The unit is supplied with wheels for easier transport. Place the generator on a firm, level surface in a well-ventilated outdoor area, away from windows, doors, and vents.

2. Check Engine Oil Level:

   Ensure the engine oil level is between the 'L' (low) and 'H' (high) marks on the dipstick. Use recommended diesel engine oil (refer to specifications). The oil capacity is 1.65 liters. The generator features low oil protection, which will shut down the engine if oil levels are insufficient.

3. Add Fuel:

   Fill the fuel tank with clean diesel fuel. The tank capacity is 12 liters. Do not overfill. Ensure the fuel cap is securely tightened after refueling.
4. Connect Battery:

   Connect the battery terminals, ensuring correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). The generator includes a 32 Ah battery for electric start.

5. Grounding:

   Properly ground the generator to prevent electrical shock. Connect a grounding wire from the generator's grounding terminal to an appropriate ground source.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Starting the Generator

1. Ensure all electrical loads are disconnected from the generator outlets.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the 'ON' position.
3. Turn the engine switch to the 'START' position. The electric starter will engage.
4. Once the engine starts, release the switch to the 'RUN' position.
5. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes before connecting any electrical loads.
6. Monitor the LED3 display for voltage, frequency (Hz), and hour meter readings.

4.2. Connecting Electrical Loads

• Connect your appliances or tools to the 400 V or 230 V outlets. The generator has one 400 V outlet and one 230 V outlet.
• Note: When using the 230 V outlet, only one-third of the generator's total performance is available.
• Do not exceed the generator's rated power output (6.25 kVA / 5 kW) to prevent overload. The generator is equipped with overload protection.
• The AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) ensures stable voltage output, making it suitable for sensitive electronics.
• The generator also features a 12 V / 8.3 A DC output for charging batteries.
• An ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) connection is available for automatic power transfer applications.

4.3. Stopping the Generator

1. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator outlets.
2. Allow the generator to run for a few minutes without load to cool down.
3. Turn the engine switch to the 'OFF' position.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the 'OFF' position.
