•
Remove the filter elements (Fig. 11 Pos. 24)
•
Clean the filter elements with soapy water. After
rinse the filter elements with clear water and allow
to dry thoroughly before refitting.
• Reassemble in reverse order
m
WARNING
NEVER
use gasoline or cleaning solvents with a low
flash point to clean the air filter element. A fire or ex
-
plosion could result.
Note
Never run the engine without or with a damaged air
filter. Dirt gets so into the engine, causing serious
engine damage can occur. In this case, seller, and
manufacturer disassociate from any warranty.
Change the diesel filter (Fig. 7)
The diesel filter (Fig. 7/Item I) must be changed if im
-
purities can be seen in the inspection window (Fig. 7/
Item I). To clean the diesel filter you will need a funnel
connected to a petrol/diesel-resistant fuel hose, pet-
rol/diesel-resistant gloves and an empty diesel fuel
canister (IMPORTANT: never mix petrol and diesel).
Cleaning
• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust. Wipe the equipment
with a clean cloth or clean it with compressed air
at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean your device after
each use.
• Clean the unit regularly with a damp cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; they may damage the plastic parts of the
appliance. Make sure that no water can get inside
the unit.
10. Winter operation
Since the generator is powered by a diesel engine,
special precautions must be taken for using it in
the winter. Use “winter diesel” to operate the diesel
generator in outdoor temperatures between -3°C to
-10°C. The change to winter diesel takes place at dif-
ferent times depending on the country concerned, it
is general around the end of October. You can ask at
your filling station when this change should be made.
• If you use the diesel generator regularly, you do not
need to take any precautions since the change to
winter diesel takes place automatically.
• If you do not use the generator for a lengthy period
during autumn, but then wish to use it again in win-
ter, we recommend that you keep the tank almost
empty
•
Ask at your filling station when you should change
to winter diesel and fill the tank with winter diesel
before the onset of outdoor temperatures of be-
tween -3°C and -10°C.
• If the diesel fuel still freezes, you must move the
diesel generator to a place where the temperature
is approxi10°C for a period of approximate-
ly 12 hours.
• If the tank is between halfway and full with normal
diesel fuel, this should then be drain as described
in point 8.4.
•
Then fill the tank with winter diesel.
•
If the tank is between empty and half-full, simply fill
it up with winter diesel.
Important.
Defective overload cut-outs must be re-
placed only by overload cut-outs of identical design
and with the same performance data. If repairs are
necessary, please contact your customer service
center.
12V DC connector
If an overload occurs, the 12V DC connector (Fig. 2/
Item 15) will be isolated from the supply. The 12V DC
connector can be reconnected by pressing the over-
load switch Fig. 2/Item 13).
230V~ sockets
If an overload occurs, the 230V~ sockets (Fig. 2/Item
16) will be isolated from the supply. You can restart
the 230V~ sockets by pressing the overload switch
(Fig. 2/Item 12).
8.2 Switching off the engine
• Before you switch off the generator, allow it to run
briefly with no consumers so that it can “cool down”.
• Move the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 2/Item 18) to posi-
tion “OFF” using the key.
Note: The engine can also be stopped by pressing
the mechanical switch (Fig. 4/Item 23). Before it is
restarted in this case, the lever (Fig. 4/Item 23) must
be moved back to the right until it engages.
8.3 Oil warning light (10)
The display activates when the oil level is too low
and switches off the engine. As soon as the oil level
is sufficient, the engine can be restarted.
9. Maintenance
m
WARNING
• Carry out maintenance work only with the stopped
engine.
• Pull the spark plug cap from the spark plug
Oil change
The engine oil change should take place when the
engine is at operating temperature.
• When changing the oil, have a non-leaking con-
tainer available.
• Remove the engine cover (Fig. 1 Pos. 5)
•
Open the oil filler plug (Fig. 6 Pos. 22)
• Undo the oil drain screw (Fig. 6/Item 21) and drain
the warm engine oil through the drain channel into
a container.
• After all the oil has drained out, tighten the oil drain
screw
• Fill the engine oil to the upper mark of the dipstick
using the oil-filling container.
• Dispose of the oil in accordance with stipulations.
Take the old oil to a collection point. Most petrol
stations, garages or recycling centres take back old
oil free of charge.
Air filter
Frequently cleaning of the air filter prevents carbure
-
tor malfunction.
Clean the air filter and change air filter inserts
•
The air filter should be cleaned every 30 hours.
• Remove the engine cover (Fig. 9 Pos. 5)
•
Remove the air filter cover (Fig. 10 Pos. 4)
