Lukas Compact Units - Manual (Page 16)

16
An electric starter is available from the LUKAS range of accessories for some units.
(For specific details, please consult the LUKAS range of accessories or contact your LUKAS
dealer).
On these units, after checking the fluid levels, proceed as follows:
1. Switch to "START ENGINE"
2. Turn the ignition key clockwise.
Charge the accumulator of the electric starter:
1. Switch to "CHARGE BATTERY"
2. Connect the supplied charger to the mounted socket.
8.1.2 Electric motors
Before starting the electric motors, check that all electrical connections and cables are in
proper order. First of all, connect the power cable (for motors with power supply) to the
supply socket.
The motor is started by turning the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
CAUTION!
Electric motors need a brief, very high starting current. When using a generator,
you should therefore check to see that it can also supply the relevant current
strength.
For motors rated up to 1.5 kW, the power supply must be protected by a fuse with
a minimum rating of 25 A (slowblow). For motors rated over 1.5 kW, the minimum
fuse rating is 30 A (slowblow).
As the information above may vary depending on individual circumstances and
on the type of motor used, you should always consult your dealer or LUKAS
directly in case of doubt.
