If this happens, reduce the electric power you
are taking from the generator or remove any
defective connected appliances.
Important!
Defective overload cut-outs must be replaced

and with the same performance data. If
repairs are necessary, please contact your
customer service center.

8.1 Cleaning
- Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
- We recommend that you clean the device
after each time finished using.
- Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning
agents or solvents; these could attack the
plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that
no water can seep into the device.

In this connection, please also read the
service information.
- Clean the air filter at regular intervals, and
replace it if necessary.
- Remove fixing bolt on the air filter cover
(B10).
- Remove the filter elements (B11).
Important!
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or petrol
to clean the elements.

flat surface. In cases of stubborn dirt first
clean with soapy water, and then rinse with
clear water and air dry.
- Assemble in reverse order.
