First use
Make sure to treat the machine with care, when using it for the first time. After starting, let the
motor run for 5 minutes without connecting the generator with consumer load.
Following points should be checked in the first 5 minutes:
•
Is the sound of the generator normal?
•
Are the vibrations not to strong?
•
Exhaust gases should not look black or white.
•
Is oil pilot light showing?
If these points meet the demands, the generator can be used further. Otherwise stop the generator
and find the cause of the problem.

Operation
13.3.1
Starting the engine:
Open fuel tap.
Set the speed control to position „RUN“.
Electronic starter:
-
Set ignition key to position "ON". After waiting 1-2 seconds, turn the ignition key to
position “Start”.
-
Release ignition key as soon as the engine has started.
-
If the engine does not start within ten seconds, stop the starting process.
-
Wait at least 30 seconds, before attempting a new start.
Recoil starter:
-
Pull the rope hard and fast.
-
Pull the rope all the way out.
-
Use two hands if necessary
Possible reasons for starting difficulties:
Cold weather – if necessary, use starter-spray in the intake nozzle.
Low battery, low acidity level – contact a qualified person or, with appropriate experience,
refill distilled water yourself.
Low oil (refill oil)
Air in fuel-pipeline.
13.3.2
Stop the engine
NOTICE
• Disconnect all electronic equipment from the generator before switching off the engine.
• Allow the device to continue running for approx. five minutes (5 min) after a long period of
use. This helps the motor to cool down.
Turning off procedure
Set circuit breaker to position "OFF".
Turn ignition key to the left into position "OFF".
Close fuel tap.
13.3.3
Electrical consumers
When the generator is running on nominal speed, electrical consumers can be connected. (
Only for
ZI-STE7500DSH
: Select whether 230V or 400V should be operated by means of selector switch)
Activate circuit breaker (ON;I))
When operating several consumers, you should first connect the consumer with the higher inrush
currents requirement! If no problem occurs, more consumers can be connected.
If the generator shuts down, the required power was probably too high.
NOTICE
Make sure, the max. power output of the generator is not exceeded.
