NOTICE!
Do not apply load to the generator immediately after a cold start.
► Allow the generator engine to warm up for a few minutes before switching on
a load when the generator has not been operating for more than eight hours
(or for very low external temperatures).
NOTICE!
If the warning light on the control panel lights up during the start process,
then the engine's oil level is too low. The automatic low-oil system pre-
vents the motor from starting.
► First refill up to the engine oil level (see Chapter 9.4.1 ), before you restart
the engine.

Turning off your power generator
Proceed as follows to switch off your generator:
Requirements
All of the connected consumers must be disconnected or switched off
CAUTION!
Certain surfaces on the generators can get very hot whilst running.
Risk of burns
► Never touch any engine parts (in particular the exhaust system) for a few min-
utes after ceasing operation.
► Always leave hot engine parts to cool down before touching them.
Switching the gen-
erator off
Proceed as follows to switch off your generators:
1. Continue to run the engine without load for about two minutes.
2. Turn the engine switch (Fig. 7-2 ) up to the left stop in the "OFF" position.
Special aspects must be taken into consideration (see Chapter 8.2.4 ) for a
remote start.
The engine comes to a standstill and the generators is switched off.
An electric fuel cut-off valve automatically closes the fuel supply and secures the
generators against leaking fuel.
DANGER!
Explosion hazard due to escaping fuel or fuel vapours.
A risk of suffering severe even deadly burns.
► Do not leave the engine start switch in the "ON" position after switching off
the engine so that the electric shut-off valve can interrupt the fuel supply.
► Set the motor start switch, at the latest after the end of operation or
BEFORE
transporting, into the "OFF" position.
