4.3 Connecting appliances
1. Start the engine. See section 4.2.2.
2. Wait 3 or 4 minutes before connecting the
appliances to allow the engine to warm up. Then
plug in the socket (X1) (1).
For more details on optional outlet socket X1,
refer to chapter “” on page 71.
3. Make sure that a correct voltage is displayed.
4. Switch on circuit breaker Q6 (2).
5. Switch on your appliance.
6. If circuit breaker Q6 trips (10 A), adjust the load
until it falls within the maximum power limit
allowed.
7. Make sure that the load does not exceed the
nominal power of the generating set as indicated
in the technical data sheet and guaranteed with a
tolerance of ± 5% when the engine has run in.
For derating values, check the derating table on
page 79.
8. Make sure the load does not exceed the nominal
current capacity of the socket or the cable
connected to it.
9. Only connect the light tower directly to the mains,
if the optional External power input (230 VAC) is
installed. In this case use the X2 socket (3). See
also chapter “External power input (230 VAC),
with battery charger” on page 68.
10. Stop the engine. See section 4.2.8.
Keep in mind that this machine is a
light tower, not a generator set!
Power is limited to 10 Amps!

If the 4 lamps are switched ON and
the load of the socket is exceeded, an
Under voltage or Over current
alarm will be triggered and the
engine will shutdown.
Avoid long low-load periods
(< 30%). In this case, an output
drop and higher oil consumption of
the engine could occur. Refer to
chapter “Preventing low loads”.
To correctly disconnect the
appliances from the light tower
generator, first turn the switch to
OFF to isolate the electric load and
only then remove the plug.
