Checklist before each use

NOTICE
Too low an oil level will damage the engine and shorten the life of the machine. There-fore, check the engine oil level before every start and top up the engine oil if necessary.

NOTICE
Engine oil and fuels are toxic and must not be released into the environ-ment! Follow the instructions of the supplier and, if necessary, contact your local authorities for information on proper disposal.

ZIPPER-ZI-STE6700DH-Power-Generator-FIG-6

To operate the generator, use engine oil that meets the following requirements:

suitable for diesel engines
10W40 or 15W40
with classification CF/ CH-4/ or CI-4

For year-round operation, engine oil with SAE viscosity level 15W-40 is recommended

Checking the fuel tank level

NOTICE
Observe the safety regulations for fuel control. Filter the fuel during refuelling to prevent foreign particles from entering the combustion chamber. Wipe up leaked fuel.

Screw on the tank cap (sits on the fuel tank).
Level check in the form of a visual inspection or via display. If necessary, top up with diesel fuel with the appropriate standard EN 590.
Close the fuel filler cap tightly after refuelling.

Check the air filter
Check the core of the air filter, ensuring that it is clean and performs well.

Loosen the screw on the cover of the filter, and then dismantle the cover to check the filter.
Please clean or change the filter if necessary.

NOTICE

Do not run the engine without the air filter, or else filth will enter the engine, re-sulting in quick wear and tear of the engine.
If the power output drops or the colour of the exhaust gases does not lock normal, renew the air filter immediately.

Grounding
Before starting up the machine, have it grounded by a qualified electrician! If the machine is intended for mobile operation, get a grounding cable with sufficient cross section from your electrical retailer.

First use
Make sure to treat the machine with care, when using it for the first time. After starting, let the motor run for 5 minutes without connecting the generator with consumer load.
Following points should be checked in the first 5 minutes:

Is the sound of the generator normal?
Are the vibrations not to strong?
Exhaust gases should not look black or white.
Is oil pilot light showing?

If these points meet the demands, the generator can be used further. Otherwise stop the generator and find the cause of the problem.

Starting the engine:
Set the start-stop-lever to position „RUN“.

Electronic starter:

Set ignition key to position “ON”. After waiting 1-2 seconds, turn the ignition key to position “Start”.
Release ignition key as soon as the engine has started.
If the engine does not start within ten seconds, stop the starting process.
Wait at least 30 seconds, before attempting a new start.

Recoil starter (only for ZI-STE6700DH):

Pull down the decompression-lever (1)
Pull the rope hard and fast.
Pull the rope all the way out.
Use two hands if necessary

Possible reasons for starting difficulties:

Low battery. Charge battery or if necessary replace.
Low oil (refill oil)
Air in fuel-supply-line.

Note : Control if air bubbles are visible in the fuel-filter.

Vent the fuel supply line to the pump:
Loosen fuel hose clamp (3) and pull off fuel hose (2) at the high pressure pump. Allow some fuel to flow into a container until the fuel filter (1) is filled and then replace the fuel hose (2) on the nipple of the high-pressure pump and secure it with the fuel hose clamp (3).

Note : Be extremely careful when removing and emptying fuel so that it does not get into the environment (use a col-lecting tray) and then clean the machine components if they have been wetted with fuel.

Stop the engine

NOTICE

Disconnect all electronic equipment from the generator before switching off the engine.
Allow the device to continue running for approx. five minutes (5 min) after a long period of use. This helps the motor to cool down.

Turning off procedure

Set circuit breaker to position “OFF”.
Turn ignition key to the left into position “OFF”.
Bring the start-stop-lever in position “Stop” by pushing the following lever (1)

Electrical consumers
When the generator is running on nominal speed, electrical consumers can be connected. (Only for ZI-STE7500DSH: Select whether 230V or 400V should be operated by means of selector switch) Activate circuit breaker (ON;I)) When operating several consumers, you should first connect the consumer with the higher inrush currents requirement! If no problem occurs, more consumers can be connected. If the generator shuts down, the required power was probably too high.

NOTICE
Make sure, the max. power output of the generator is not exceeded. If the voltage (see voltmeter) is too high or too low, adjust the speed level. If a problem oc-curs, stop the generator and take care of the problem. At the DC- module (12V), a maximum amount of 8.3 A current is possible.

CAUTION
Pay attention to correct connecting:

Red connection : + terminal
Black connection : – terminal

MAINTENANCE

The machine is low-maintenance. It contains only a few parts, which have to be maintained regularly by the operator. Malfunctions or defects that could impair the safety of the machine must be repaired immediately.

WARNING
Hot surfaces and rotating machine parts while the engine is running can cause serious injury or even death. Always stop the machine before carrying out any conversion, ad-justment, cleaning or maintenance work and secure it against unintentional restarting and wait until the machine has cooled down

Engine oil change

NOTICE
Engine oil is toxic and must not be released into the environment! Follow the instructions of the supplier and, if necessary, contact your local authorities for information on proper disposal.

NOTICE
Changing the oil is easier when the engine is still warm.

Remove the oil outlet screw.
Drain the dirty oil into a suitable container.
Fix the oil outlet screw again.
Fill in new engine oil
Check the engine oil level with the dipstick
If the level is correct reinsert the dipstick

Transport / Storage
In order to avoid the generator leaking oil during transport or temporary storage, make sure to switch off the generator, keeping it at a standing pose under normal operations. After the engine is totally cooled, turn the ventilating pole of the fuel-filling lid to the “OFF” position thoroughly.

When transporting the generator:

Do not let the fuel spill out of the fuel tank. (The top of the fuel-filling tank should have no fuel.)
When the generator is placed on a vehicle, do not run the engine. You should take the generator down from the car before operation.
When you take the generator to the car, avoid exposing it to sunshine. If it is put in sealed carriage for a long time, the high temperature of the carriage may cause the fuel to boiling away, thus leads to burn.

Before the generator is put into a long-time storage, you should: Make sure the storage area is clean and dry. In case of longer standstill disconnect battery or even disassemble and charge it in interval according to recommendation of battery-supplier.

NOTICE
Store the machine with closed inlet- and outlet valves. Therefore, pull on the rope of the starter until you fell resistance.

Disposal
Do not dispose of the machine in residual waste. Contact your local authorities for in-formation regarding the available disposal options. When you buy at your local dealer for a replacement unit, the latter is obliged to exchange your old.

TROUBLESHOOTING
