Table of Contents The illustrations in these operating instructions do not always General note: comply completely with the actual design, in particular with regard to the colour, and are to be considered a representation of basic principles.
Overview / fi rst steps Intended use Overview / fi rst steps Before operating the generator, read this manual thoroughly, especially its safety instructions. This manual instructs you on basic work with the generator and helps you prevent hazards, repairs and defects. Intended use The generator is for producing 230V alternating current at a frequency of 50 Hz and a nominal load of 1600 watts (for cos...
Safety Safety This section describes the basic safety regulations for operating the generator. DANGER! High risk! Failure to comply can cause injury or death. CAUTION! Moderate risk! Failure to comply can cause property damage. BEWARE! Mild risk! Instructions that must be observed when using the device. General safety instructions - Keep the operating manual at hand during operation.

Function and mode of operation Function and mode of operation The power generator makes use of inverter technology. The generator generates a higher frequency voltage that is then rectifi ed and electronically turned into an AC voltage of 230V/50Hz by the inverter. This measure makes it possible to generate an output voltage with a constant frequency and voltage regardless of the engine speed.
Operation Operation Transporting the generator Requirements • The generator is turned off • On/Off switch in “Stop” position, Figure 4, No. 5 • Fuel tap in “Off” position, Figure 4, No. 6 • Fuel tank lid ventilation in “Off” position, Figure 5, No. 2 •...
Refuelling Refuelling Requirements • the device must be shut off. • a cooled down generator • suffi cient air supply/ventilation DANGER! Escaping petrol can burn or explode. • Prevent petrol from escaping. • The generator is switched off. • The generator has cooled down. •...

Refuelling Fill the generator with motor oil Requirements • the device must be shut off. • a cooled down generator BEWARE! The generator is always delivered without motor oil. • If the oil level is too low, the device cannot be started. CAUTION! Leaking engine oil can contaminate soil and groundwater.
Page 17
Refuelling 1. Unscrew the side panel Fill the device with motor oil 2. Unscrew the sealing plug. 3. Insert the fi lling funnel into the fi ller opening. 4. Pour in oil (0.4l SAE10W-40) to right below the edge of the oil fi...
Starting the generator Starting the generator Requirements The following requirements must be fulfi lled: • Disconnect the appliance, and do not start the generator under load. • There must be fuel in the tank. • The oil level must be adequate (otherwise the oil warning light will come on and starting will not be possible).
Starting the generator Wait until the engine runs smoothly. Depending on the external temperature, slowly bring the choke back to home position. ✓ Now the motor will run stably. Note Don’t just let go of the starting cord after starting — guide it by hand into its original position.
Connecting / disconnecting appliances Connecting / disconnecting appliances Proceed as follows to connect up consumers to the generator. Requirements • Completed warm-up phase • If possible, turn the appliance off before connecting. Figure 9: Protective contact socket DANGER! Electric shocks cause injury or death. •...
Page 21
Connecting / disconnecting appliances • For appliances with high switch-on currents (pumps, cut-off grinders, etc.), leave the switch in the “OFF” position. 2. Flip the socket cover up. 3. Insert the plug into the socket. ✓ Appliance is connected. Disconnecting appliances Disconnect the appliances from the generator as follows: 1.
Charging batteries Charging batteries Requirements • Completed warm-up phase • Switch the ECOtronic switch to the “OFF” position. The DC connection (Figure 4, No. 12) provides a DC voltage of 12V/8A to charge 12V batteries. DANGER! • Explosive hydrogen gas may escape during the charging process: Make sure that neither sparks nor an open fi...

Charging batteries If a high capacity battery, a defective one or a fully discharged battery is charged, it may happen that the 12V circuit breaker trips (Figure 4, No. 10). The circuit breaker can be switched on again by actuating the pressure head. Disconnecting battery Disconnect the battery from the power generator as follows: 1.
Switching the generator off Switching the generator off Turning the engine off 1. Set the “ON/OFF” switch to the “STOP” position, Figure 4, No. 5 2. If the device will not be used again in the next few minutes, set the fuel cock to the “OFF”...
Cleaning the generator Cleaning the generator Requirements The following requirements must be fulfi lled: • the device must be shut off. • a cooled down generator Cleaning the device The power generator should be cleaned at regular intervals. Use a slightly moistened, lint-free cloth with some dish detergent. Make sure that no liquid can get inside the generator.
Decommissioning / storing the generator Decommissioning / storing the generator Requirements • Dry, ventilated and dust-free room • A cooled down generator • The tank lid vent valve as well as the fuel cock are in the “OFF” position 1. If the generator contains motor oil or petrol, it must be stored Storing the device (3-8 weeks) only in horizontal position.

Maintenance Motor oil Requirements • The generator must be on level ground. • The motor must not be hot, but should ideally be slightly warm. • Place a small pan or rag under the screw plug or dipstick, in order to catch the escaping oil. •...
Maintenance Adding oil Proceed as follows to add oil (grade SAE10W-40): 1. Unscrew the sealing plug. 2. Insert the fi lling funnel into the fi lling port. 3. Add more oil so that it reaches up to right below the edge of the fi...
Maintenance 6. Pour some motor oil (SAE10W-40) onto the fi lter and cleanly distribute it. Press excess oil back out. 7. Re-insert the air fi lter, attach the housing cover and fasten it with a screw. ✓ The air fi lter has been cleaned. Figure 11: Air fi...
Maintenance CAUTION! Check the electrode gap with a gauge. It should be 0.6 mm to 0.7 mm (see Fig. 17). If the insulator’s ceramics are damaged, the plug must be replaced. If the plug is sooty or black, this means that the mixture is too rich (short-term operation, choke activated too long).
Maintenance Cleaning the spark catcher Requirements • Included tool • A cool motor • Wire brush Figure 14: Cleaning the spark catcher 1 Rear wall 3 Wire pad 2 Clamp 4 Sieve 1. Unscrew the rear wall 2. Loosen the clamp on the exhaust silencer 3.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Malfunction Possible cause Correction Engine does not start No fuel Check the fuel Fuel cock in the “OFF” Set the fuel cock to the open ON position, Figure 4, No. 6 position On/Off switch in “Stop” Set the “On/Off” switch to the “ON” position, Figure 4, No.
