3.1 Positioning the generator

The generators of the EA series must be positioned
horizontally, i.e. placed on a flat surface or made to sit
horizontally by placing shims under the support feet.
The engine functions properly if it does not exceed a
maximum inclination of 20 °, both on the longitudinal
and the transversal axis. Should the engine be
operated in conditions at a greater inclination, there
is a risk of insufficient lubrication or suction of
engine oil from the air filter.
4 USING THE GENERATOR
4.1 Starting
Before starting the generator, check that:
- the engine stop switch is in position "ON" (Fig. 2 Ref.
2)
- the fuel tap lever is in position "ON" (Fig. 2 Ref. 11).
If the engine is cold, turn the start lever to the right
before trying to start (Fig. 2 Ref. 15)
(if the engine is hot, the start lever need not be turned
to the right).
Proceed by resolutely pulling the self-winding cord
(Fig. 2 Ref. 16) to start running the engine.
Repeat the operation if the engine does not start after
the first attempt.
As soon as the engine has started, return the start
lever to its original position.
To prevent damage to the self-winding cord of the
engine, never release it abruptly after having pulled
it out fully, but guide it until complete rewinding.
The generator engine has been calibrated, in idle, to
3120 rpm equal to 52.5 Hz, as the engine stabilises at
about 3000 rpm equal to 50Hz with a load. For this
reason, the accelerator lever must never shift for any
reason, since the output voltage, frequency and
power values of the generator would be compromised.
The available power is as indicated on the adhesive label
carrying the technical characteristics (Fig.A).
The sum of absorption of all the utilities connected to
the generator must never exceed the continuous
power value of the generator.

3 INSTALLATION
4.2 Portection
The generator is equipped with several protections and
warning signals which safeguard it against malfunctioning
and improper use. These are:
- AC CIRCUIT PROTECTION: in case of a short-circuit or
overload, the automatic thermal switch (Fig. 3 Ref. 1-3)
trips interrupting current delivery
to the outlets.
To restore the thermal switch contact, after having
identified and eliminated the cause of the cut-out and
waiting for about a minute, press the thermal switch
button resetting it to the original position (Fig. 3 Ref. 1-3).
- LOW OIL PROTECTION: this protection automatically
turns off the engine when the oil level falls to below the
minimum.
Don't use adapters on the takings
of tide.
Never touch the pot or her/it
protection
5 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
5.1 Preamble
Any maintenance operation on
the generator must be carried out with the engine off
and leaving it to cool down sufficiently, and must
only be carried out by authorised and suitably trained
personnel.
It is recommended to scrupulously follow the instructions
in the manual provided by the engine manufacturer and
attached to each generator.
It is important to regularly inspect and carry out
maintenance on the generator. The frequency of
maintenance should be decided on the basis of the
number of hours of operation.

5.2 Ordinary engine maintenance

The periodic maintenance operations to be carried out
on the engine are indicated in the table at point 5.7. For
more detailed information consult the manual provided
by the engine manufacturer with each generator.
