7.3 Connecting to earth (Fig.1)
The housing is allowed to be connected to earth in
order to discharge static electricity. To do this, connect
one end of a cable to the earth connection on the
generator (Item 8) and the other end to an external earth
(for example an earthing rod).
7.4 Topping up fuel (Fig.4)
WARNING
Switch off and ensure you are in a well ventilated area.
Unscrew the tank cover (Item 2) and add enough
unleaded gasoline using a filler neck.
Ensure that you do not overfill the tank and spill petrol.
(If you do spill, wipe up the excess amount and wait until
the vapors have evaporated – danger of ignition.) Screw
the tank cover back on.
7.5 Topping up oil (Figs. 5-7)
WARNING
Switch off and ensure you are in a well ventilated area.
Open the oil filler screw (Item 17) and add approximately
0,35 l of engine oil (15W40) using the supplied oil filler
funnel (Item 16) or until the top fill mark on the oil
dipstick (Item 17) is reached.
Important:
Do not screw in the oil dipstick to check the oil level –
only insert it as far as the thread. Close the oil filler
opening and remount the engine cover.
Important! You must fill up with engine oil and fuel
before you can start the engine.
8. Operation
Check the fuel level and top it up if necessary.
•
Make sure that the generator has sufficient ventilation.
•
Make sure that the ignition cable is secured to the
•
spark plug.
Inspect the immediate vicinity of the generator.
•
Disconnect any electrical equipment which may
•
already be connected to the generator.
8.1 Starting the engine (Figs. 1 , 2,13)
Important: Do not use any chemical starting agents
such as highly volatile fuels or similar.
Open the Petrol cock (Item 3) by turning it down.
•
Move the ON/OFF switch (Item 7) to the "ON" position.
•
Pull the choke lever (Item 6) to "choke" position.
•
Start the engine with the starter cord (Item 4) by pulling
•
the handle forcefully. If the engine does not start, pull
the handle again. Important:
Always pull the starter cable slowly until you feel the
initial resistance before you then pull it quickly to start
the engine. Do not allow the starter cable to whip back
of its own accord.
Push the choke lever (Item 6) back approximately 5 to
•
10 seconds after the engine has started.
8.2 Economy mode
Economy switch (Item 9) in the "Eco" position:
The engine speed is regulated in accordance with
minimum power requirements and the generator runs
quietly and efficiently.
Economy switch (Item 9) in the "Max" position:
The generator runs at maximum speed.
