5. Uputstvo za upotrebu

5.1 Pre-Start Checks

  • Provjerite nivo motornog ulja.
  • Provjerite nivo goriva.
  • Ensure all electrical devices are unplugged from the generator.
  • Provjerite da li je generator na ravnoj, stabilnoj površini, na otvorenom i dalje od bilo kakvih objekata.

5.2 Pokretanje motora

  1. Okrenite ventil za gorivo u položaj 'UKLJUČENO'.
  2. Pomaknite ručicu čoka u položaj 'ČOK' (ako je motor hladan).
  3. Okrenite prekidač motora u položaj 'UKLJUČENO'.
  4. Čvrsto i ravnomjerno povucite ručku startera dok se motor ne pokrene. Ne dozvolite da se uže povuče unatrag.
  5. Nakon što se motor pokrene, postepeno pomičite ručicu čoka u položaj 'RUN'.

6. Održavanje

Redovno održavanje je neophodno za dugotrajnost i pouzdan rad vašeg generatora.

6.1 Raspored održavanja

Stavka Prije svake upotrebe Svakih 25 sati / Mjesečno Svakih 100 sati / Godišnje
Motorno ulje Provjeri nivo Promjena
Filter za vazduh Provjeri Čisto Zamijenite
Spark Plug Pregledajte/očistite Zamijenite
Filter goriva Pregledajte/zamijenite

6.2 Zamjena motornog ulja

Change the engine oil after the first 5 hours of operation, then every 25 hours or monthly thereafter. Refer to the oil fill cap image in the Setup section for location.

7. Otkrivanje problema

Ovaj odjeljak se bavi uobičajenim problemima s kojima se možete susresti pri radu s vašim generatorom.

7.1 Motor se neće pokrenuti

  • Bez goriva: Check fuel level and add fresh gasoline if necessary.
  • Nizak nivo ulja: Check engine oil level. The generator has a low-oil shutdown feature. Add oil if low.
  • Položaj čoka: Ensure the choke is in the 'CHOKE' position for a cold engine and moved to 'RUN' after starting.
  • Prekidač motora: Provjerite je li prekidač motora u položaju 'UKLJUČENO'.
  • svjećica: Pregledajte svjećicu da li ima prljavštine ili oštećenja. Očistite je ili zamijenite ako je potrebno.

7.2 Nema izlazne snage

  • Prekidači: Check if any circuit breakers on the control panel have tripped. Reset them if necessary.
  • preopterećenje: Reduce the total load connected to the generator.
  • Veze: Provjerite da li su svi kablovi za napajanje sigurno priključeni u utičnice generatora.

7.3 Engine Runs Rough

  • Ustajalo gorivo: Ispustite staro gorivo i napunite ga svježim benzinom.
  • Dirty Air Filter: Očistite ili zamijenite filter zraka.
  • svjećica: Inspect the spark plug for proper gap and condition.
