m ATTENTION!
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine
stopped.
If the engine was in operation immediately be-
fore, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the engine
in a building where the petrol vapour may come
into contact with flames or sparks.
Petrol is highly inflammable and explosive. When
handling fuels, you may suffer burns or other se-
vere injuries.
10. Operation
10.1 Starting the engine (Fig. 5 + 6)
m Attention! Danger of poisoning!
-
Only use the device outdoors and never in closed or poor-
ly ventilated rooms.
1.
Set the ventilation on the tank cover (2) to "ON".
2.
Set the on/off switch (13) to the "RUN" position.
Note: The energy saving switch (10) must be set to "OFF".
When the engine is cold
1.
Attention! Never allow the recoil starter (5) to spin
back. This can result in damage.
2.
Set the on/off switch (13) to the "CHOKE" position.
3.
Now pull the recoil starter (5) and the engine should
start. If the engine does not start, repeat the process.
4.
Move the on/off switch (13) from the "CHOKE" position
to the "RUN" position after starting the engine (after ap-
prox. 15-30 seconds). (Fig. 6)
5.
If the engine does not start even after several attempts,
read the "Troubleshooting" chapter.
Note: With high outside temperatures, it may be necessary
to start the power generator without the choke even when the
engine is cold!
When the engine is warm
1. Set the on/off switch (13) to the "RUN" position.
2. Now pull the recoil starter (5) quickly. The device should
start after a maximum of 2 pulls. If the device has still not
started, repeat the procedure described under "Starting
the engine when cold".
Note:
If the engine is being started for the first time, several tries are
required to start until the fuel has been delivered from the tank
to the engine.
1.
Move the on/off switch (13) from the "CHOKE" position
to the "RUN" position after starting the engine (after ap-
prox. 15-30 seconds). (Fig. 6)
10.2 Shutting the engine off
Allow the power generator to run for a short time (approx.
30 seconds) without load before switching it off so that it can
"cool down".
1.
Set the on/off switch (13) to the "OFF" position.
2.
Disconnect the power consumers from the device.
3.
Set the ventilation on the tank cover (2) to "OFF".

10.3 Operating display (6) (Fig. 3)
The operating display is active when the engine is running.
10.4 Overload indicator (7) (Fig. 3)
The overload protection becomes active if the power con-
sumption is too high and switches off the 230 V
1.
Switch the device off as described in section 10.2.
2.
Disconnect the power consumers from the device.
10.5 Oil warning indicator (8) (Fig. 3)
The indicator activates when the oil level is too low and deac-
tivates as soon as the oil level is sufficient.
10.6 Automatic oil cut-off
The automatic oil cut-off system responds when there is too
little engine oil. The oil warning indicator (8) starts flashing
when there is too little oil in the engine. The indicator lamp
starts to light up when the oil quantity has not reached the
safety quantity. The engine switches itself off after a short time.
It is not possible to start the engine until the engine oil has
been filled (see chapter 9.1).
10.7 Energy saving switch (10) (Fig. 3)
To reduce the fuel consumption when idle, move the energy
saving switch (10) to the "ON" position.
The energy saving switch (10) must be switched off when
electrical devices that require a high starting current are con-
nected, for example a compressor. Even when the power gen-
erator is started, the energy saving switch must be initially set
to "OFF".
10.8 USB connection (11) (Fig. 3)
This power generator is equipped with two USB connections.
These can be used to charge smartphones for example.
11. Cleaning and maintenance
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work, switch
off the engine and remove the spark plug connector (21) from
the spark plug (20).
ATTENTION! Danger of burning! Wait until the device
has cooled down before performing cleaning or maintenance
work.
11.1 Cleaning
Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor housing as
free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub the device clean with a
clean cloth or blow it off with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device directly after every
use.
Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp cloth and
a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning products or solvents;
they could attack the plastic parts of the device. Make sure
that no water can penetrate the device interior.
