Before Start-Up; Starting The Engine; Transport And Storage - Gude GSE 5501 DSG Manual Del Usuario

Electric supply cables and connected equipment
must be in perfect condition.
Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit
breakers specially matched to the generating set. If
the circuit breakers require replacement they must
be replaced with a circuit breaker having identical
ratings and performance characteristics.
Due to the high mechanical loads, use only hard-
wearing rubber-cased cables (according to IEC 60245-
4) or equivalent.
Extension cables (H07RN...) approved to be used out-
doors and properly marked to be used outdoors only.
The resistance value of 1.5 Ω may not be exceeded if
extension cables or portable distributor systems are
used.
When using extension cables, their total length may
not exceed 50 m in respect of 1.5 mm2 and 100 m in
respect of 2.5 mm2.
Protective equipment „Protective separation with
potential balancing" is provided and integrated by
the producer.
To be able to discharge static charges, the housing
must be grounded.
WARNING! Local regulations for electrical safety
must be observed
WARNING! When resupplying a facility, observe
requirements and precautions with respect to the
safety measures of this facility and the applicable
guidelines.

Before start-up

Safe operation requires sufficient operator knowledge
of the functions and positions of the controls and
indicators or meters. Pay attention to the illustrated
pages in the front section of the manual.
The appliance should only be used when in a perfect
state. Carry out a visual inspection before swit-
ching the appliance on. Check especially the safety
equipment, electrical control elements, power lines
and screw couplings for any damage and if they
are tightened appropriately. Replace any damaged
parts before the appliance is put into operation if
necessary.
The unit may only be operated in the operating posi-
tion (flat surface) as fuel or oil may leak or lubrication
will no longer be provided.

Starting the engine

The unit is protected against low oil level. When the
oil level is too low, the unit cannot be started (oil
indicator turns on in case of attempted starting).
WARNING: When starting with the reserve starter, the
motor may recoil suddenly as it starts up, resulting in
hand injuries. Wear gloves!
Operation
Generating sets may only be loaded up to their rated
power under the rated ambient conditions.
The equipment must not get exposed to moisture or
dust. The allowed ambient temperature is from -10°C
to +40°C, height: 1,000 m above the sea level, relative
air humidity: 90% (non-condensing) If these values
are not kept, power losses may result.
engine protection
The generator is fitted with an overload cut-out. This
isolates the relevant sockets if an overload occurs.
Important. If this happens, reduce the electric power
you are taking from the generator or remove any
defective connected appliances.
Always place the unit on a firm and flat surface! No
turning or tilting or moving during operation.
The unit must never be uncovered.
Turn the unit immediately off in the following cases:
• When the engine is running restlessly or unstably
• When the electrical power output has decreased
• When the connected appliance gets overheated
• Excessive vibrations of the unit
• Sparking
• When there is smoke or fire
• Abnormal vibrations or noise
• When the engine seems to be overloaded or is
about to fail

Transport and storage

Secure the device against shifting and toppling
during transport.
Take care to prevent from fuel and oil leakage during
transport.
Handling equipment to be used only when handling
the machine.
Machine to be stored in a dry place.
Do not store the appliance in enclosed places just
after being switched off but let it cool down outdoors
instead.
