14. TERMS OF USE OF INVERTER
GENERATOR
It is recommended to ground the generator before operating it for the first time.
Before starting the device, remember that the total power of the connected
power consumers should not exceed the nominal power of the generator.
TYPES OF POWER CONSUMERS AND START-UP CURRENT
There are two types of power consumers (electrical devices connected to the
generator): active and reactive. Active power consumers include all power
consumers whose power input is converted into heat (heaters).
Reactive power consumers include all power consumers equipped with an
electric motor. When starting the engine, start-up current occur briefly, the
magnitude of which is based on the engine design and purpose. The magnitude
of occurring start-up currents should be considered when selecting a generator.
Most electric tools have a start-up current ratio of 2-3. This means that the
operation of such appliances requires a generator, the power of which is 2-3
times the power of the connected power consumer. Power consumers such as
compressors, pumps, washing machines have the highest start-up current ratio.
Make sure that the control panel, the blinds and the underside of the
inverter are well cooled and protected against the ingress of small
solids, dirt, and water. Improper operation of the cooler can cause
damage to the motor, inverter or alternator.

15. GENERATOR OPERATION
ENGINE SWITCH
To start the engine, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position. To turn off the
engine, turn the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
OIL LEVEL INDICATOR
When the oil level falls below the level required for operation, the oil level indicator lights
up, and then the engine stops automatically. The engine will not start until oil is added.
To avoid electric shock due to poor-quality electrical appliances or
improper use of electricity, the generator must be earthed using a
high-quality insulated conductor.
