STARTING THE ENGINE
Check daily
NOTE
Do not alter the factory adjustment of the engine
and do not touch the sealed parts.
ATTENTION
1. By start-up of the generator the welding circuit is
immediately operative, i.e. under voltage. Make
sure that there are no unwished electrical
contacts between the components of the outside
welding circuit (electrode, electrode holder gun,
workpiece, etc...).
2. Check that at the start-up the a.c. auxiliary
generation sockets do not feed any load.
Open the GFI (D) of the generator or
disconnect the plugs of the loads from
the sockets.
3. STARTING
Starting is actuated using the key which is an integral
part of the EP7 post on the front panel.
A) - Turn the key in a clockwise direction until all
the LED lights are illuminated.
B) - Wait until the "OIL PRESSURE" and
"BATTERY
VOLTAGE"
illuminated. If the timer lamp is used, the yellow
"PREHEAT" LED comes on for the set time of
the imposed settings.
C) - As soon as the green "ENGINE RUNNING"
LED starts to flash, actuate the key switch in a
clockwise direction (momentarily in the position
then with return to rest) until obtaining starting
of the engine.
If the motor does not start within 15 seconds,
the non starting alert will intervene: the two
LEDs "Engine running" and "glow plug" will
flash alternately (see motor protection
description).
D) - At any time it is possible to stop the engine by
turning the key in an anti-clockwise direction
(OFF position).
In case of engine anomaly due to low oil
pressure,
high
transmission belt, low fuel level or emergency
the EP7 will automatically stop the engine.
4. the motor starts up at its operating speed, 1500
LEDs
remain
temperature,
broken
or 1800 rpm. After start-up, allow the motor to
run for a few minutes before powering on the
utilities. See table;
Temperature
≤ - 20° C
to - 20° C from -10°C
to - 10° C from -5°C
≥ 5° C
5. start-up at low temperatures.
The motor will normally start up without problems
down to temperatures of -10° C, -15° C. In case
of starting difficulty, it is possible to repeat the
starting preheating for a max. time of 10 second,
lightly turning the trimmer situated at the back of
the EP7 in a clockwise direction (see page M32.2
relating to engine protection "trimmer/glow plug").
For start-up and use at lower temperatures please
see the engine manual or turn to our Technical
Assistance Center.
In case of unsuccessful start-up, do not
insist for longer than 5 seconds. Wait 10 -
15 seconds before attempting another start-
up.
NB.: for safety reason the key must be kept by
qualified personel.
CAUTION
RUNNING-IN
During the first 50 hours of operation, do not use
more than 60% of the maximum output power of
the unit and check the oil level frequently, in any
case please stick to the rules given in the engine
use manual.
