0. INTRODUCTION
Please read this manual carefully before using the generating set. If you act as
stated in this manual, your generating set will guarantee you a smooth
functioning for years.
First read the engine and alternator manual. These manuals are supplied with
each generating set and explain the use, the maintenance and the dangers in case
of improper use.
If you have any questions concerning your generating set please contact
EUROPOWER Generators through www.europowergenerators.com.
All data in this manual are based on the standard versions of
EP30DE/EP34TDE/EP44TDE with Kubota V3300/ V3800DIT engine.
Generating sets with options can have slightly different data. Contact your
dealer for more information.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and understand the owner’s manual before using the generator, opening
it or working on it. This can prevent personal injury or equipment damage.
When this manual is not 100% clear to you, please consult an authorised
dealer.
Place the generator on a levelled surface.
When the generator is tilted, fuel spillage may result.
Place the generator, when in use, at least 1m away from buildings or other
equipment.
Keep children and pets away from the generator when it is in operation.
Diesel is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Refuel only in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is
refuelled or where diesel is stored.
Wipe up spilled fuel at once.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapour.
Use automotive diesel (diesel number 2 according to EN590) with a cetane
number of 40 or higher, and with a max. sulphur level of 0,5%.
It is allowed to use the generating set in the rain (according to EN60529-
protection class IP23). This means that the generating set can support
water in the form of rain till max. 60° in respect of the perpendicular
line. Do not use the generating set in the snow. Only use it in spaces
where there is no explosion hazard.
The generator is a potential source of electrical shocks when misused. Do
not operate the generator with wet hands.
Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must be
made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws
and electrical codes.
Never connect the generating set to the public mains or any other
electrical power source! Improper connections can allow electrical current
from the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such back feed may
electrocute utility company workers, and when utility power is restored,
the generator may explode, burn or cause fires in the building’s
electrical system.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while
after stopping the engine.
Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is still hot.
Let the engine cool down before storing the generator indoors.
To prevent scalding, pay attention to the warning marks attached to the
generator.
