•
materials at the appropriate collection point.
Recycle packaging material, metal and plastics.

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.
