Electrical devices that can be connected
This power unit can power light bulbs, heaters, drills, water pumps,
etc.
Do not exceed the load limit specified for the power unit.
The power unit may not be used to power devices that have a high
power requirement.
The power unit cannot be used for precision devices such as
computers. These precision devices may be damaged under
certain circumstances by distortions caused by the broad wave
when the power unit’s power is output. Do not connect the power
unit to the electrical installation of a building.
WARNING: Connection to the electrical installation of a building
may result in the electric current being returned to the mains
supply wires. This return causes a risk of a fatal electric shock
for employees of the electricity supplier or other persons who
touch the wires during a power failure.
Connection to the electrical installation of a building can also
cause the electric current of the electricity supplier to return to
the power unit. When the mains supply is restored, the power unit
may explode, burn or cause a fire to break out in the electrical
installation of the building.
Tank volume: 25 litres
• Only fill the tank up to the marking in the fuel strainer.
• Note that fuel expands.
• 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 petrol vapour
may come into contact with flames or sparks.
• Do not smoke whilst refuelling or in the area in which the petrol
is stored and prevent naked flames or sparks under these
circumstances.
• After refuelling, ensure that the tank cover is closed correctly
and securely again. Take care!
• Mop up spilled petrol immediately.
• If petrol is spilled, ensure that the area is dried before starting
the engine.
• Avoid repeated or long contact of the fuel with the skin and
avoid breathing in the fumes.
• Keep the fuel out of the reach of children.
• If there are occasional taps or knocks from the engine, you
should use a different brand of petrol. If this does not solve
the problem, contact an authorised dealer.
WARNING: Operating the engine with continuous ignition tapping
or knocking can result in damage to the engine. Operating the
engine with continuous ignition tapping or knocking is considered
improper use. The manufacturer is not responsible for the resulting
damages; the user solely bears the risk.
9. Start up
Earthing the generator
Earthing the housing is possible to discharge static charging. To
do this, connect a cable on one side to the earth terminal (12) of
the power generator and on the other side to an external mass
rising pipe (e.g. rod earth).
WARNING: Do not use any pipes that carry inflammable
substances as an earth source.
Starting the engine (Fig. 1 + 7)
NOTE: Do not connect the electrical device before starting the
engine.
1. Turn the fuel valve key (7) to “ON”.
When the engine is cold:
Move the choke lever (6) to the CLOSED position by moving the
lever to the left.
Return the choke lever (6) to the OPEN position while the engine
warms up.
