Maintenance of the air filter (VI)
Remove the bolt fixing the side panel and remove the panel itself. (III)
Remove the bolt fixing the cover and remove the cover of the filter.
Remove the filter and clean it in solvent, and then squeeze the solvent out thoroughly.
Soak the filter with clean engine oil, and squeeze it, making sure the filter remains wet.
Install the filter and the cover.
Earthing of the generator
In order to avoid electric shock, the generator must be grounded. To do so the grounding conductor must be connected to the
indicated place on the generator. The connection must be carried out by a person with adequate electrical qualifications.
OPERATION OF THE GENERATOR
Start-up of the internal combustion engine
Before the generator is started, it is required to disconnect all the electric devices from the generator sockets.
Set the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
The choke lever must be moved in the direction indicated by the arrow. (VII)
Attention! If the motor is hot (for example after a break for filling the fuel tank), the choke lever must not be moved.
Set the motor switch to the ON position. (VIII)
Pull the starter cord smoothly until you feel the resistance due to the compression of the engine, and then pull it with an energetic
sharp movement. (IX)
Release the handle of the cord smoothly, until it has been completely retracted into the casing of the generator. Do not release
the handle.
As the engine becomes hot, withdraw the choke lever to the home position. Each time the position of the choke lever is changed,
it is necessary to wait until the engine begins to function smoothly. The rate of retracting of the choke lever to the home position
depends upon the atmospheric conditions under which the engine is being started. The lower the ambient temperature, the slower
must be the return movement of the lever.
Connecting electric devices to the generator
NOTE! It is prohibited to connect to the generator any electric devices whose nominal power exceeds the nominal power of the
generator. In case more than one device is connected, their total nominal power must be lower than the nominal power of the
generator.
NOTE! Make sure the electrical parameters of the devices connected to the generator are in accordance with the electrical
parameters of the generator.
Start the engine in accordance with the procedure described in „Start-up of the internal combustion engine"
Make sure the connected electrical devices are turned off.
Connect the devices to the sockets of the generator. (X)
Switch the device on.
The generator is equipped with a control panel with diodes signalling the status. During normal operation the diode indicated as
„WYJŚCIE / OUTPUT" is on.
In case the power of the connected device exceeds the power of generator the „WYJŚCIE / OUTPUT" diode will go out and the
„PRZECIĄŻENIE / OVERLOAD" diode will go on. The power supply to the power supply socket will be cut off. In such cases it
is required to disconnect the connected device. In case more than three loads are being connected, they must be turned on in
accordance with the power consumption order. First activate the loads consuming the highest current, and then successively
activate the loads consuming lower current.
It is prohibited to activate several devices connected to the generator simultaneously. Electrical devices usually consume the
highest power during the start-up procedure. Once a device connected to the generator has been turned on, it is required to wait
until the operation of the device is stable. Only then the next device may be turned on.
There may be also a working status, in which both the „WYJŚCIE / OUTPUT" diode and the „PRZECIĄŻENIE / OVERLOAD"
diode are on. This means that the overload of the generator is not sufficient to cause automatic cutting off of the current supplied
to the socket. Nevertheless, operation with such a set up leads to damage of the generator. Observe the aforementioned recom-
mendations regarding the order of connecting specific devices.
ATTENTION! Directly after activation of the device both the „WYJŚCIE / OUTPUT" diode and the „PRZECIĄŻENIE / OVERLOAD"
diode may go on simultaneously. Such a state is normal. The „PRZECIĄŻENIE / OVERLOAD" diode should go out automatically
after approximately four seconds. If it does not, turn the generator off and consult a service workshop.
Activation of the „POZIOM OLEJU / OIL LEVEL" diode informs of a low level of oil in the engine gear. In such cases it is required
