8.1 Basic notes on operation
!
Please note the following basic information:
• When operating the generator at low temperatures (< 0 °C) you have to use
winter diesel fuel or you have to add a percentage of petrol to the diesel oil
according to the following table:
• Always check the oil level before use (chapter “Checking the oil level” on
page 21).
• Check the oil level in the oil sump.
• Check if the air inlet ducts for combustion and cooling are intact and free from
residues.
• Even small overloads in the long-run will cause the fuses to blow.
• Leave the generator running for a few minutes after use without any consumers
before stopping it.
NOTICE!
Do not run the generator over 70 % of the maximum constant output for
the first 50 operating hours (run-in phase).
NOTE
Run the generator at a maximum of approx. 75 % of the maximum
continuous load after the run-in phase.
By doing this you can prolong the service life of the generator and
maximise its efficiency.
CAUTION! Beware of injury
Do not insert your fingers or objects into the ventilation openings.
