5. Ntuziaka ọrụ

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation.

5.1 Ndepụta nyocha tupu arụ ọrụ

• Check all mechanical connections, including belts and mounting hardware, for tightness.
• Inspect all electrical connections and cords for damage or wear.
• Ensure the external engine is in good working order and has sufficient fuel and oil.
• Confirm the generator head is properly grounded.

5.2 Starting the Generator Head

1. Start the external engine according to its manufacturer's instructions.
2. Allow the engine to reach its operating speed, which should correspond to the required RPM for the generator head to produce the correct frequency (e.g., 3600 RPM for 60 Hz).
3. Once the generator head is producing stable voltage and frequency, you may connect your electrical loads.

5.3 Ibu Njikọta

• Connect loads one at a time, starting with the largest load.
• Monitor the generator's output to ensure it is not overloaded. Overloading can damage the generator head and connected appliances.
