4. Using the generating set
Before use:
- make sure you know how to stop the generating set in the event of an emergency,
- make sure you completely understand all the controls and operations.
To stop the generating set urgently, activate the stop lever.
Warning
4.1. Starting-up
n
Check that the generating set is well connected to the ground (see §
Earthing the genset
)
.
o
Check the oil level (see
§ Oil level checking)
.
p
Turn the starting & shut-down key (fig. A – No. 5).
Note: If the engine does not start at the end of 15 seconds, stop the test and wait for 2 minutes before making a repeat attempt
(wear & tear risk).
q
Release the key and wait for the engine temperature to increase before using the generating set.
4.1.1 Emergency starting
If the electric start-up does not work, start the generating set manually:
n
Turn the starting & shut-down key (fig. A – No. 5) clockwise to position (B).
o
Actuate the solenoid valve (fig. A – No. 6,
I
).
p
Gently pull the recoil starter handle (fig. A – No.7), until a certain amount of resistance is encountered then allow it to return slowly.
q
Swiftly and firmly pull the recoil starter handle, then allow it to return back slowly.
If the engine does not start, repeat the operation until it starts.
r
Actuate the solenoid valve (fig. A – No. 6,
O
).
4.2. Operation
When the running speed of the generating set has stabilised (approximately 3 minutes):
n
Check that the circuit breakers (fig. A – No. 8) are well depressed. Press if necessary.
o
Connect the devices to be used to the electrical sockets (fig. A – No. 9) of the generating set.
N.B: The SDMO generating sets are equipped with “Schucco” type sockets: in exceptional cases it may be that some devices
cannot be connected. In such a case, an adapter will be supplied freely on request by our sales office (show proof of purchase).
4.3. Switching off
n
Stop & disconnect the devices from the electrical sockets (fig. A – No.9).
o
Allow the engine to run idle for 1 or 2 min.
p
Turn the starting & shut-down key (fig. A – No. 5) in the anticlockwise direction to position (A).
The generating set shuts down.
Always ensure sufficient ventilation for the generating set.
Even after stoppage, the motor continues to give off heat.
Warning
In case of key failure, stop the generating set and activate the stop lever (fig. A- No.10) and turn the starting & shut-down key in the
anticlockwise direction to position (A).
5. Safety features
5.1. Circuit breaker
The set's electrical circuit is protected by one or more magnetothermal, differential or thermal cut-out switches. In the event of an
overload and/or short circuit, the supply of electrical energy may be cut.
If necessary, replace the circuit breakers in the generating set with circuit breakers with identical nominal ratings and specifications.
5.2. Oil cut-out
If there is no oil in the engine sump or if the oil pressure is low, the oil safety mechanism automatically stops the engine to prevent any
damage.
If this occurs, check the engine oil level and top it up if necessary before looking for any other cause of the problem.
