Specifications

Reset the protection feature
by pressing the central pole,
then connect the load once
again.
If the protection should intervene once more, repla-
ce it with another one with matching intervention
current specications and/or contact the Service
Department.
+ Note: do not forcibly press the central pole on
the thermoprotection to inhibit its intervention, as
this could damage the unit’s alternator irreparably.
GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTOR SWITCH
The high-sensitivity ground fault interruptor switch
[G.F.I.] (30mA) (D), guarantees protection against
indirect contacts due to faulty ground currents .
When the G.F.I. switch picks up a faulty ground
current that is higher than 30mA, it intervenes by
immediately cutting off tension to the AC sockets.
In case of intervention by this protection
feature, reset the G.F.I. switch, bringing
the lever to the ON position.
In case of another intervention, verify
that no faulty tools are connected, or
replace the G.F.I. switch with another of
matching specications and/or contact the Service
Department.
+ Notes: verify the operation of the G.F.I. switch
at least once a month by pressing the TEST button.
The generator must be running and the differential
lever in the ON position.

necessary. Disconnect the loads and wait a few
minutes to allow the thermo-protection to cool down.

Access forbidden to area adjacent to
electricity-generating group for all non-
authorized personnel.
The electricity-generating groups are to be considered
electrical energy producing stations.
The dangers of electrical energy must be considered
together with those related to the presence of chemical
substances (fuels, oils, etc.), rotating parts and waste
products (fumes, discharge gases, heat, etc.).
GENERATION IN AC (ALTERNATING CURRENT)
Make certain of the efciency of the ground con-
nection (12).

230V version
Position the G.F.I. switch to ON.
+ Tension is now immediately available to the A.C
sockets.
Check that the GREEN lamp over AUX socket is
ON ( where present).
Connect the electric devices to be powered to the
AC sockets, using suitable plugs and cables in prime
condition.
+ Verify that the electrical characteristics of the
tension/frequency/power device are compatible
with those of the generator.
Low frequency and/or voltage can damage some
electrical devices irreparably.
Verify that the ground terminal for the plug is properly
grounded and connected to the electrical appliance/
tool to be powered.
+ For double insulation devices with the symbol
, the plug’s ground terminal must not be
grounded.
THERMOPROTECTION
The generator is protected against overloads by the
thermoprotection (59B).
When current is exceeded, the protection feature
intervenes to cut off tension to the AC sockets.
+ Notes: the intervention of the thermoprotection
feature is not instantaneous, but reacts according
to an overcurrent/time characteristic, whereby the
greater the overcurrent the quicker the intervention.
In case of intervention by the protection feature,
verify that the total power for the loads connected
DANGEROUS
It is strictly forbidden to connect the group to
the public mains a/o to another source of electric
power.
