6 The generator usage and its protections:
To improve engine performance and to extend machine life, a 20 hour "break-in"
period is recommended without forcing the generator, with loads not exceeding
60-70% of the maximum output of the equipment.
WARNING: Ensure the installation of the ground wire. If you have doubts,
please, call your electrician.
WARNING: Never connect directly the voltage output of the generator to a
building or a house (even when there is a circuit breaker for the main circuit). The
return of the main circuit will shock with the generator output, which will do serious
damages to the generator or even a fire.
WARNING: Do not connect the generator in parallel with other generators in
order to add powers. The generators will be damaged and there will be a high risk
of fire.
NOTE: Do not connect an extension to the exhaust pipe.
NOTE: When an extension cable is required, you have to ensure its good
quality and proper section (ask to your electrician).
NOTE: Equipment that has an electric motor (compressors, water pumps,
saws, grinders, etc.) requires up to 3 times more power during the starting. For
example, a 500W water pump needs 1500W to start. Therefore, always confirm
the nominal powers (rated) of the equipment to be connected and ensure that they
do not exceed the maximum power produced by the generator, according to our
recommendation.
WARNING: before connecting to the generator, confirm if all equipment is in
good working conditions.
If the equipment runs abnormally, slowly or spontaneously shuts down, stop the
generator immediately and disconnect the equipment.
