10.3 Stopping the generator
1. Turn the AC circuit breaker to the OFF position.
2. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
3. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
Emergency stopping: Turn the engine switch to “OFF”. The engine will stop
immediately.
10.4 Operating time
Depending on the type you’re using, if you start with a full tank and let it run continuously, your
generator will run approximately :
The Petrol level display on top of the fuel tank shows you approximately how much petrol
there is left in the tank.
10.5 Ground system
This generator has a ground system that connects the generator frame components to the
ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The system is not connected to the AC neutral
wire.
10.6 AC Circuit breaker and load control
▪ This Generator has been equipped with AC Circuit Breaker, designed to protect people
against an electric shock .
▪ The AC Circuit Breaker automatically shuts off and cuts off the power supply in the event
of Overload greater than 125%.
▪ For a minor Overload, the AC circuit breaker does not trip: do not let the Generator work in
such conditions because the Generator life will be significantly reduced.
▪ Resetting the AC Circuit Breaker should restore the power and should be conducted as
follows: 1) Unplug all electrical apparatus from the Generator.
2) Lift the AC Circuit Breaker up to the “ON” position.
3) Commence to start your Generator accordingly.
4) When reconnecting appliances, reduce the load to that which
previously overloaded the Generator.
10.7 Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
▪ This generator has been equipped with AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) technology,
which guarantees a continuous, uninterrupted and stable power supply to the connected
devices.
▪ The AVR maintains an AC regulated output and reacts more quickly to rapid voltage
peaks, thus avoiding the possibility of damage to the generator and the equipment it
supplies.
▪ For the most sensitive equipment (for example computers, televisions, stereo systems) it
is advisable to adopt additional protection devices against overvoltages and electrical
surges.
10.8 High altitude operation
At high altitude, the standard carburettor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich.
Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the
carburettor and readjusting the slow tempo screws. If you always operate the generator at
altitudes higher than 1,500 m (5,000 feet) above sea level, have your dealer perform these
carburettor modifications.
