6.2 Connecting consumers to the generator

•
Connect the equipment you want to use to
the 230 V~ sockets (3). Important: One single
socket may be loaded continuously (S1) with
3500W and temporarily (S2) for a maximum
of 5 minutes with 4000W.
•
Two sockets at once may be loaded conti-
nuously (S1) with 5000W and temporarily
(S2) for a maximum of 5 minutes with 5500W,
distributed among the two sockets until re-
aching the limits indicated.

The generator is suitable for 230 V~ AC ap-
pliances
Do not connect the generator to the domestic po-
wer network as this may result in damage to the
generator itself or to other electrical appliances in
your home.
Note: Some electrical appliances (power jigsaws,
drills, etc.) may have a higher level of power con-
sumption when used in diffi cult conditions.

tric power you are taking from the generator
or remove any defective connected applian-
ces.

be replaced only by overload cut-outs of
identical design and with the same perfor-
mance data. If repairs are necessary, please
contact your customer service center.
