Before Starting - unicraft PG-I SE Series Operating Instructions Manual

Start-Up
ATTENTION!
Commissioning the motor when the oil level is insuffi-
cient can cause serious damage!
Check the fuel level: and use only clean and anhyd-
rous fuel.
The fuel is highly flammable and explosive under cer-
tain conditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated environ-
ment with the engine switched off. Do not smoke
during refuelling and do not use open fire.
Never work with the generator before the air filter has
been inserted, otherwise the service life of the motor
and generator will be reduced.
ATTENTION!
Before the generator is connected to the building's
power grid, the requirements of the responsible grid
operator must be met. If necessary, install a mains
disconnection device to prevent backfeeding.
NOTE!
- Operate the generator in a clean, dry environment.
Do not expose the generator to excessive dust, dirt,
moisture and fumes.
- The cooling fins must not be clogged by foreign ob-
jects.
- Using a power generator or electrical appliance in
wet conditions such as rain or snow, or near a pool
or sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet
may result in electric shock
Use protective goggles!
Wear safety boots!
Wear protective clothes!

NOTE!
Before putting the generator into operation for the
first time, please note the following points.
- Make sure that the generator is on a flat, horizontal
and stable surface.
- Ensure that no power consumer is connected to the
generator.
- The oil is not supplied.
- The oil has a great influence on the performance
and life of the engine.
- For versions with petrol engine, the choke must be
switched on for cold start.
- To start the generator with the pull starter, pull the
starter slowly out until resistance is felt, then pull
jerkily.

9.1 Before starting

CAUTION!
Do not fill the tank in enclosed spaces.
Never fill the tank while the machine is running or still
hot.
Do not overfill the tank (do not fill up to the top of the
filler), fuel could leak due to engine vibrations. Atten-
tion: Fuel expands when heated!
Make sure that no fuel drips to the ground during fil-
ling.
Make sure that the fuel filler cap is correctly closed
after filling. If fuel has dripped onto the ground, make
sure that the area is dry before starting the engine.
Avoid direct physical contact with the fuel and do not
inhale vapors; keep out of reach of children.
The petrol vapours are flammable. When refuelling,
avoid ignition sources and do not smoke. Avoid
naked flames at all costs.
Use normal unleaded, new and clean fuel, with a
minimum octane number of 85.
Never mix oil with fuel.
NOTE!
For safety reasons, the device cannot be returned to
the dealer after it has been filled with fuel.
Step 1: Check that no power consumer is connected to
the power generator.
Step 2: Check grounding. Proper grounding of the gene-
rator will prevent electric shock in the generator
or connected electrical equipment. Proper
grounding also prevents static electricity, which
often builds up in ungrounded equipment.
