y If the generator does not start, holding the handle with
your hand allow it to return to its initial position and
repeat the starting process.
• ATTENTION
y Do not release the handle of the pull starter, rather
allow it to return to the initial position while holding
it since releasing the handle suddenly from the pul-
led out position would result in arapid return and
this could cause damage to the starting mechanism.
7. After starting up the generator, gently push the
choke rod back in to the designated position.
y In the event that while pushing in the choke pull rod,
the engine is throttled, immediately quickly pull the
choke pull rod out and wait afew moments and then
attempt to push it in again. In the event that the choke
pull rod is not pushed in while the generator is running,
then after some time the engine will be throttled or the
engine will not achieve full power output. When run-
ning the generator, it is necessary to push the choke pull
rod in within acertain time of starting the engine.
y To start agenerator with awarm engine that has been
running for an extended period of time, it may not be
necessary for the choke pull rod to be in the pulled out
position. It may, however, be necessary to check this by
performing apractical test in the event that the genera-
tor cannot be started with the choke pull rod set in the
generator operating position.
• ATTENTION
y In the event that there is an unusual noise, vibrations or
operation while the generator is running, immediately
turn off the generator and identify and rectify the cause
of this unusual operation. If the unusual operation is
caused by afault inside the device, have it repaired at
an authorised service centre for the HERON® brand
through the vendor or directly at an authorised service
centre (service locations are listed at the HERON® gene-
rators website address at the start of this manual).
• ATTENTION
y When using the generator as abackup electrical power
source and the generator is not regularly in operation,
perform atest start-up of the generator every 2months
to check that it is full working order (please note that
petrol has alimited lifespan and that there exists the
option of using petrol dewatering fluids (conditioners)).
VI. Connecting and
powering electrical
devices and generator
load-capacity
y It is possible to connect electrical devices intended
for standard mains power into the 230V~50Hz power
sockets.
y It is possible to connect three-phase electrical devices
intended for 398 V alternating-current voltage to be
connected to the 400V~50Hz power socket.
y The blue 32A/230V or red 400V three-phase power
plugs may only be installed on power cords of
electrical devices by an electrician with the necessa-
ry qualifications!
y To power 230V electrical devices connected to the
16A or 32A socket, set the toggle switch (Fig. 1,
position 9) to position 230V. To power 400V electri-
cal devices, set the toggle switch to position 400V. It
is not possible to concurrently provide power to the
400V power socket and the 230V power sockets.
• ATTENTION
y To draw power from the16A 230V and/or 32A 230V
power socket, it is necessary, in addition to the16A and/
or 32A circuit breaker, to also engage the 48A circuit
breaker because the current to the 16A/32A circuit
breaker is delivered via the 48A circuit breaker. The 48 A
circuit breaker is acommon circuit breaker for both the
16A as well as the 32A power socket.
• WARNING
y The generator must not be transported or moved
to adifferent location while it is running. Turn it off
before moving it.
y For powering electrical devices it is necessary to
respect the following conditions, otherwise the
powered electrical devices or the generator may
be damaged:
y The total nominal (operating) power input of all
the connected electrical devices must not exce-
ed the nominal (operation) electrical power out-
put of the generator. To determine the nominal
power input of an electrical device, it is possible
to use an affordable socket power input meter
(a wattmeter). The total power output of the
generator is understood to mean the total
drawn power input of all the electrical devices
connected to the generator for acertain power
voltage, i.e. total power input of all the electri-
cal devices powered from the 230V16A/32 A
power sockets or the 400V socket.
