Scheppach DSE5500 Translation Of The Original Instruction Manual page 32

2. The power generating unit must not be connected
to another power source such as the power sup-
ply of energy supply companies. In special cases
where a reserve connection to existing electrical
systems is provided, this must only be carried
out by a qualified electrician who will take into
account the differences between the operated
equipment using the public mains and operation
of the power generating unit. According to this
part of ISO 8528, the differences in the operating
manual must be specified.
3. Protection against electric shocks depends on
the circuit breakers which are matched precisely
to the power generating unit. If a circuit breaker
must be replaced, this should be done using a
circuit breaker with the same rating and perfor-
mance characteristics.
ATTENTION: Only use diesel as fuel.
m Handling fuel
m Danger to life! Fuel is toxic and highly flammable.
• Only store fuel in containers (canisters) designed
and tested for this purpose. The tank caps must al-
ways be properly screwed on and tightened. Defec-
tive caps must be replaced for safety reasons.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, perma-
nent flames, heat sources and other sources of igni-
tion. Do not smoke!
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refu-
elling.
• Before refuelling, switch off the combustion engine
and let it cool down.
• Fuel must be filled before starting the combustion
engine. While the combustion engine runs or if the
machine is hot, the fuel cap must not be opened and
fuel must not be filled.
• Open the fuel cap carefully and slowly. Wait for the
pressure to equalise and only then remove the fuel
filler cap completely.
• Use a suitable funnel or filler pipe for refuelling so
that no fuel can spill onto the combustion engine and
housing or lawn.
Do not overfill the fuel tank!
• To leave room for the fuel to expand, never fill the
fuel tank beyond the lower edge of the filling nozzle.
Observe additional information in the combustion
engine user manual.
• If fuel has overflowed, do not start the combustion
engine until the area contaminated with fuel has
been cleaned. Avoid starting the engine until the fuel
vapours have evaporated (wipe dry).
32 | GB
• Always wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
• If fuel has got on clothing, it must be changed.
• The tank cover must be properly screwed on and
tightened after each refuelling operation. The device
must not be put into operation without the original
tank cover screwed on.
• For safety reasons, check fuel line, fuel tank, fuel
cap and connections regularly for damage, ageing
(brittleness), tight fit and leaks and replace if nec-
essary.
• Only empty the tank outdoors.
• Never use beverage bottles or similar to dispose of
or store operating materials, such as fuel. People,
especially children, could be tempted to drink from it.
• Never store the device with fuel in the tank inside a
building. Any fuel vapours produced can come into
contact with naked flames or sparks and ignite.
• Do not place the device and fuel tank near heaters,
radiant heaters, welding machines or other sources
of heat.
Risk of explosion!
If a defect is detected on the tank, the tank cover or
on fuel-carrying parts (fuel lines) during operation, the
combustion engine must be switched off immediately.
Then consult a specialist dealer.
Battery safety
• To avoid spark formation due to a short circuit, al-
ways disconnect the negative cable (-) from the bat-
tery first and reconnect it last.
• Never smoke during work on the battery. Always
keep sparks, naked flames and other heat sources
away from the battery.
• Special care must be taken when using jumper ca-
bles. Follow relevant instructions to avoid damage to
the device (in particular, do not operate the starter
for more than 10 seconds).
• Never open the battery and do not drop it.
• Always charge the battery in a closed room with
good ventilation, dry and protected against the
weather.
• Do not short-circuit battery connections.
• Deformed or defective (leaking) batteries must not
be used and must be replaced and disposed of in an
environmentally friendly manner. Observe the coun-
try-specific regulations.
