Electrical safety
Prior to use, the power generator and its electrical equipment (including lines and plug connectors) should be checked to ensure that there are no defects. Never connect the power generator to the mains (socket).
The power lines to the consumer must be kept as short as possible.
Health hazard!
Inhalation of fuel / lubricating oil vapours and exhaust gases can cause serious damage to health, unconsciousness and in extreme cases death.
ATTENTION
Product damage!
Using the product without or with too little engine and gear oil can result in engine damage.
ATTENTION
Environmental damage!
Spilled oil can pollute the environment permanently. The liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water pollution.
Check before operation
(12) (Fig. 3)
ATTENTION
Electric shock!
Earthing the housing is necessary to discharge static charging. To do this, connect a cable on one side to the earthing screw (12) of the power generator and on the other side to an external earth (e.g. earth rod).
(fig. 7 + 8)
ATTENTION
The product is delivered without engine oil. Therefore, ensure that you add oil before starting it up. Use SAE 15W-40 oil.
Check the oil level regularly before commissioning. An oil level that is too low can damage the motor.
Risk of fire and explosion!
When filling, fuel may ignite and even explode. This can lead to severe burns or death.
ATTENTION
The product is delivered without fuel. It is therefore essential to fill with fuel before commissioning. Use Super E10 petrol for this.
ATTENTION
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the engine was in operation immediately before, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the engine in a building where the fuel vapour may come into contact with flames or sparks. Fuel is highly inflammable and explosive. When handling fuels, you may suffer burns or other severe injuries.
(Fig. 5+6)
Danger of poisoning!
Only use the product outdoors and never in closed or poorly ventilated rooms.
When the engine is cold
NOTE
With high outside temperatures, it may be necessary to start the power generator without the choke even when the engine is cold!
When the engine is warm
NOTE
If the engine is being started for the first time, several tries are required to start until the fuel has been delivered from the tank to the engine.
Allow the power generator to run for a short time (approx. 30 seconds) without load before switching it off so that it can "cool down". To do so, switch off the connected consumers.
(6) (Fig. 3)
The operating display is active when the engine is running.
(7) (Fig. 3)
The overload protection becomes active if the power consumption is too high and switches off the 230 V ~- sockets (9).
(8) (Fig. 3)
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 under Top up oil and repeat the starting procedure.
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 quantity 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.
(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 products that require a high starting current are connected, for example a compressor. Even when the power generator is started, the energy saving switch must be initially set to "OFF".
(11) (Fig. 3)
This power generator is equipped with two USB connections. These can be used to charge smartphones for example.
ATTENTION
of burning!
Wait until the product has cooled down before performing cleaning or maintenance work.
Cleaning
Always wear protective gloves and a mask during maintenance work!
Always comply with the following maintenance intervals in order to ensure problem-free operation. See chapter Maintenance plan.
ATTENTION
At initial start-up, engine oil and fuel must be filled.
(Fig. 5+6)
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.
(19) (Fig. 7)
ATTENTION
Risk of damage!
Operating the engine without a filter element or with a damaged filter element can cause engine damage.
Clean the air filter (19) every 50 operating hours, replace if necessary.
(20) (Fig. 11+12)
ATTENTION
Only replace the spark plug when the engine is cold!
Check the spark plug for dirt for the first time after 20 operating hours and clean it with a copper wire brush if necessary. Then service the spark plug every 50 operating hours.
NOTE
A loose spark plug can overheat and cause damage to the engine. Tightening the spark plug too much can damage the thread in the cylinder head.
(22) (Fig. 13+14)
Note:
The petrol filter is a fuel filter insert cup, which is located directly under the fuel cap and filters all the fuel that is filled in.
Risk of fire and explosion!
Storing the product near potential sources of ignition can result in a fire or an explosion. This can lead to severe burns or death.
ATTENTION
Risk of damage!
If the product is not stored properly, the engine can be damaged.
Do not remove the fuel in enclosed spaces, near fire or when smoking. Petrol fumes can cause explosions and fire.
(Fig. 13)
In case of storage over a longer period of time, the fuel must be drained.
Preparation for transport
After repairs or maintenance, make sure that all safety-related parts are installed and are in perfect condition. All parts which may cause injury must be kept where they are inaccessible to children or others.
ATTENTION
According to the German Product Liability Act, no liability is accepted for damage caused by improper repairs or by not using original spare parts. Such work should be performed by a customer service centre or an authorised specialists. The same applies to accessory parts.
Connections and repairs
Connections and repair work on the electrical equipment may only be carried out by electricians.
NOTE
