8.7. Electrical safety

Electrical cables and attached devices must be de-
fect free.
Never connect the generator to the mains (power
point).
Keep the cables as short as possible.
8.8 Connecting to earth (fig. 2)
The housing can be connected to earth to dischar-
ge static electricity. To do this, connect one end of a
cable to the earthing connection (8) on the generator
and the other end to an external ground (z. B. for ex-
ample to an earthing rod).
8.9 12 V Connection
At the 12 V DC connection (12), a 12 V battery can be
charged using the included cable (18).

9. Maintenance

m WARNING
• Carry out maintenance work only with the stopped
engine.
• Pull the spark plug cap from the spark plug
Oil change
Change the engine oil after 25 operating hours, then
after 50 hours or every three months.
The engine oil change should take place when the
engine is at operating temperature.
• When changing the oil, have a non-leaking con-
tainer available.
• Remove the engine cover (Fig. 6-7 Pos. 5)
• Open the oil filler plug (Fig. 9 Pos. D)
• Drain the old oil into a suitable container by tilting
the generator.
• Fill the engine oil to the upper mark of the dipstick
using the oil-filling container.
• Dispose of the oil in accordance with stipulations.
Take the old oil to a collection point. Most petrol
stations, garages or recycling centres take back old
oil free of charge.
Air filter
The air filter is equipped with two air filter inserts. Fre-
quently cleaning of the air filter prevents carburetor
malfunction.
Clean the air filter and change air filter inserts
• The air filter should be cleaned every 30 hours.
• Remove the engine cover (Fig. 6 - 7 Pos. 5)
• Remove the air filter cover (Fig. 10 Pos. E)
• Remove the filter elements (Fig. 11 Pos. F+G)

m WARNING
NEVER use gasoline or cleaning solvents with a low
flash point to clean the air filter element. A fire or ex-
plosion could result.
Note
Never run the engine without or with a damaged air
filter. Dirt gets so into the engine, causing serious
engine damage can occur. In this case, seller, and
manufacturer disassociate from any warranty.
Check, clean and replace spark plug
Check the spark plug after 10 hours on dirt and grime.
If necessary, clean it with a copper wire brush. Main-
tenance the spark plug after 50 hours of operation

• Remove any dirt from the base of the spark plug.
• Use a wrench to remove the spark plug (Pos. H).
• Check the spark plug visually. Remove any debris
with a wire brush.
• Look for discoloration on the top of the spark plug.
By default, the color should be bright.
• Check the spark plug gap. An acceptable gap width
is 0.6 to 0.7 mm (Fig. 15)

• If the plug has been inserted, tighten them with a
spark plug wrench.
• Attach the spark plug wire with connector on the
