cannot infiltrate.
Use LOCTITE 577 to make all connections, so as to prevent
fuel leakages.
To connect the fuel tank to the generator, use a 6x13mm
rubber-coated tube, of the same type used for the genset
and suitable for unleaded petrol. For the extension, use the
ties and filter provided. It is advisable to use fuel hose
AG118 (accessory) for the connection from tank to refuelling-
mouth.
IMPORTANT
Model 5500 does not need fuel tank, since it is standard
fitted inside the genset casing.
CONNECTION TO GAS CANISTER
CAUTION
For the LPG genset, withdraw the gas from the upright
canister before the vehicle's service regulator and from the
upper part, so that gas enters the genset at high pressure
and in the gaseous state.
(Minimum recommended pressure: 0.7- 0.9 bar)
3.0 GENERAL OPERATION
IMPORTANT
The firm disclaims any responsability for damages arising
from malfunctioning of the generator.
3.1 DESCRIPTION OF GENERATOR AND
FUNCTIONING
The generator consists of an endothermic petrol engine
connected to an alternator which produces both alternate
and direct current.
The unit comes in a soundproof casing made of pressed
steel plate and insulated with special deadening materials.
Fuel comes to the combustion engine through a pump
which is standard fitted on the unit itself.
3.2 SAFETY ADVICE
The unit is housed within a perfectly closed casing. Therefore,
there is no danger of accidental contacts with hot or moving
parts or wires under voltage.
The door of the unit is fitted with lock and key and should
not be left within the reach of children or non-authorised
persons.
DANGER
• The unit shall be used only and exclusively with the door
closed.
• Keep inflammable substances like petrol, paints, solvents,
etc. away from the generator.
• Do not let hot parts of the genset come into contact with
inflammable materials.
• Do not fill up with the engine running if the tank is placed
close to the generator.
• Do not touch the generator or its connections with wet
hands.
• Do not replace the fuses or thermal switches with new
ones of higher amperage.
• Any check of the electrical parts shall be made with
engine stopped and by authorised technicians only.
The generator is manufactured according to the safety rules
given in the Conformity Declaration.
3.3 NOISE LEVELS
The generator has been submitted to a noise emission test
at a qualified ISTEDIL lab, where all the necessary tests were
carried out and EC Certificate No.I-225/92 issued, stating
following results:
Measured according to: EC DIRECTIVE 84/536
