Grounding

The machine is designed with the protective measure protective separation with potential equalization
in the IT network. A grounding by means of a grounding screw and a grounding spike is thus designed
to discharge static charges. For this purpose, connect the grounding screw of the power generator to
a grounding spike (grounding cable cross-section 16mm²). If other protective measures are required,
clarify them with a qualified electrician and have them documented in order to check their
effectiveness.

Information on Initial Start-up

13.3.1

Test Run Initial Start-up

Make sure to treat the machine with care, when using it for the first time.
Let the machine run idle for about 3 minutes connecting the generator with consumer load.
•
Pay attention to abnormal noises.
•
Pay attention to the exhaust fumes (too black, too white)?
•
If these points meet the demands, the machine can be used further. Otherwise stop the machine and
find the cause of the problem.
13.4

Switching on the machine by an electrical amateur

Switching on without a qualified electrician, the following requirements must be met:
• The machine is checked at regular intervals by a qualified electrician (recommended every six
months).
• Extension and connection cables as a well as plugs/sockets must be checked regularly for
mechanical damage.
• Only use cables and conductors that are permanently suitable for the intended use.

Operating instructions

• Always place the machine on a firm and flat surface! No turning, tilting or moving
during the engine is running.
• Always check oil and fuel level before starting.
• Do not connect the device before the machine is running at full speed. Disconnect the
device before turning the machine off.
• Connected devices must be in perfect condition.
• Keep the cable length to the device as short as possible.
NOTE:
For a period of 5 minutes, the machine is designed to provide maximum performance. For
continuous operation, the specified rated performance should not be exceeded.
13.5.1

Operation of the machine to over 1500m above sea level

When operating at high altitudes, the air/fuel mixture becomes too dense due to the lower
•
oxygen content in the air. This leads to loss of power, increased fuel consumption, rapid wear of
the spark plugs and difficult starting of the engine.
13.5.2

Connecting devices

Before connecting a device to the machine you must check its perfect condition.
•
• When you recognize that a connected device acts unusual you must stop the machine and
disconnect the device. Control whether the device is damaged or if the machine was overloaded
by the device.
The max. performance of the connected devices must be within the specifications for the
•
machine.

• Place the machine on a firm and flat surface.
• Open the fuel filler cap (1).
NOTE:
Never refuel without filtering the fuel!
