• Keep the cable length to the consumer as short as
possible.
Connecting to earth (Fig. 4)
The housing is allowed to be connected to earth in
order to discharge static electricity. To do this, con-
nect one end of a cable to the earth connection on the
generator and the other end to an external earth (for
example an earthing rod).
Before starting the equipment
• Check the fuel level and top it up if necessary
• Make sure that the generator has sufficient venti-
lation
• 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 al-
ready be connected to the generator
Important! Before using the appliance for the first
time the tank must be filled with a petrol mixture in a
mixing ratio of 1:50 (1 part oil to 50 parts petrol). To
do so, use the measuring jug inside the tank (Fig. 10)
Shake the petrol mixture before filling into the tank.

• The generator is suitable for 230 V~ a.c. appliances.
• Do not connect the generator to the household net-
work as this may result in damage to the generator
itself or to other electrical appliances in your home.
Note: Some electrical appliances (power jigsaws,
drills, etc.) may have a higher level of power con-
sumption when used in difficult conditions.
Switching off the engine
• Before you switch off the generator, allow it to run
briefly with no consumers so that it can "cool down"
• Move the ON/OFF switch (5) to position "O" with the
key.
• Close the petrol cock
Important: The generator is equipped with an over-
load cut-out.
This shuts down the socket (7). You can reactivate the
socket (6) by pressing the overload cut-out (7).
Important! If this happens, reduce the electric
power you are taking from the generator or re-
move any defective connected appliances.
