Cleaning And Maintenance - Scheppach SG3500i Translation Of Original Instruction Manual

9.5 "RESET" button (12) (Fig. 3)
If the overload protection has been triggered and the
overload indicator (7) lights up red, the "RESET" button
(12) can restore the output power of the power gen-
erator/inverter. It is then not necessary to restart the
engine.
1. Press and hold the "RESET" button (12) for 1 sec-
ond until the light (red) is extinguished and the op-
eration indicator (6) (green) illuminates.
If the overload protection has not tripped, the "RESET"
button (12) has no effect.
9.6 Oil warning indicator (8) (Fig. 3)
The indicator activates when the oil level is too low and
deactivates as soon as the oil level is sufficient.
9.7 Automatic oil cut-off
The automatic oil cut-off system responds when there
is too little engine oil. The oil warning indicator (8)
starts flashing when there is too little oil in the engine.
The indicator lamp starts to light up when the oil quan-
tity has not reached the safety quantity. The engine
switches itself off after a short time. It is not possible
to start the engine until the engine oil has been filled
(see chapter 8.2).
The indicator activates when the oil level is too low and
deactivates as soon as the oil level is sufficient.
If the oil level is too low, the oil warning indicator (8)
lights up during the start attempt. Top up engine oil as
described in 8.2 and repeat the starting procedure.
9.8 Energy saving switch (10) (Fig. 3)
To reduce the fuel consumption when idle, move the
energy saving switch (10) to the "ON" position.
The energy saving switch (10) must be switched off
when electrical devices that require a high starting cur-
rent are connected, for example a compressor. Even
when the power generator is started, the energy saving
switch must be initially set to "OFF".
9.9 USB connection (9) (Fig. 3)
This power generator is equipped with two USB con-
nections. These can be used to charge smartphones
for example.

the 12 V DC safety release (15) can restore the
output power of the inverter power generator.
Press and hold the 12 V DC safety release button
(15) for 1 second.
3. If the 12 V DC safety release (15) has not been
triggered, the 12 V DC safety release (15) is in-
effective.

10. Cleaning and maintenance

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work,
switch off the engine and remove the spark plug con-
nector (24) from the spark plug (23).
ATTENTION! Danger of burning! Wait until the de-
vice has cooled down before performing cleaning or
maintenance work.
10.1 Cleaning
Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor hous-
ing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub the device
clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with compressed
air at low pressure. We recommend that you clean the
device directly after every use.
Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp
cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning
products or solvents; they could attack the plastic parts
of the device. Make sure that no water can penetrate
the device interior.
10.2 Maintenance
WARNING!
Always wear protective gloves and a mask during
maintenance work!
10.2.1 Checking the oil level
1. Proceed as described in 8.2.
10.2.2 Changing oil (Fig. 7 + 8)
Change the engine oil after 20 operating hours, then
after 50 hours or every three months.
The engine oil change should be carried out while the
engine is at operating temperature.
