•
Open the petrol cock (Fig. 5/Item 3) by turning it
horizontal.
•
Move the POWER ON/OFF switch (Fig. 2/Item 7) to
the “I” position.
•
Pull the choke lever (Fig. 1/Item 16) to the position
“choke”.
•
Start the engine with the starter cord (Fig. 1/Item
4) by pulling the handle strongly. If the engine
does not start, pull the handle again.
Important:
Always pull the starter cable slowly until you feel
the initial resistance before you then pull it quickly
to start the engine. Do not allow the starter cable
to whip back of its own accord.
•
Push the choke lever (Fig. 1/Item 16) back
approximately 15 to 30 seconds after the engine
has started.
7.2 Economy mode
Economy switch (Fig. 2/Item 9) in the On “I” position:
The engine speed is regulated in accordance with
minimum power requirements and the generator runs
quietly and efficiently.
Economy switch (Fig. 2/Item 9) in the Off “O” position:
The generator runs at maximum speed.
7.3 Connecting consumers to the generator
•
Connect the 240 V~ devices to be powered to the
socket (Fig. 2/Item 10).
Important:
This socket is
allowed to be exposed to a continuous (S1) load of
900 W and temporarily (S2) for a maximum of 2
minutes to a load of 1,000 W.
•
Connect the 12 V DC devices to be powered to the
12 V DC socket (Fig. 2/Item 12) using the adapter
cable (Fig. 3/Item 20).
•
Important:
The 12 V socket is rated for 70 W.
•
Important:
The 12 V connector is allowed to be
used only when the economy switch is in the “0”
position.
•
Do not connect the generator to the household
mains system, since this may damage the
generator.
Note: Some electrical appliances (power jigsaws,
drills, etc.) may have a higher level of power
consumption when used in difficult conditions.
7.4 Overload cut-out
240 V socket
•
The status indicator (Fig. 2/Item 14) is lit green
during normal operation.
•
An overload has occurred if the status indicator
light goes out and the overload indicator (Fig. 2/
Item 13) flashes red.
•
Switch off the generator (Fig. 2/Item 7).
•
Press the overload switch (Fig. 2/Item 22).
Important:
If an overload occurs, ensure that the power
drawn does not exceed the generators maximum power
output and that no defective devices are connected.
•
Never connect the generator to the power supply
(socket-outlet).
•
Keep the cable length to the consumer as short as
possible.
6.2 Environmental protection
•
Dispose of soiled maintenance material and
operating materials at the appropriate collection
point.
•
Recycle packaging material, metal and plastics.
6.3 Connecting to earth
•
The generator must be connected to earth in
order to discharge static electricity to protect
the control panel. To do this, connect one end of
a earthing cable to the earth connection on the
generator (Fig. 2/Item 8) and the other end to an
external earth (for example an earthing rod). Note:
Cable and earthing rod are not supplied.
6.4 Topping up fuel
•
Unscrew the tank cover (Fig. 1/Item 2) and add up
to 2.7 liters of unleaded petrol using a filler neck.
Note: Do not use ethanol blended fuel as this may
result in engine failure.
•
Ensure that you do not overfill the tank and spill
petrol. (If you do spill, wipe up the excess amount
and wait until the vapors have evaporated –
danger of ignition.) Screw the tank cover back on.
6.5 Topping up oil
•
Remove the engine cover (Figs. 6a - 6b/Item 5)
using the screwdriver. Open the oil filler screw
(Fig. 8/Item F) and add approximately 0.25 l of
engine oil (SAE 30) using the supplied oil filler jug
(Fig. 3/Item 21) or until the top fill mark on the oil
dipstick (Fig. 7/Item D) is reached.
•
Important! You must fill up with engine oil and
fuel before you can start the engine.
7. Operation
•
Check the fuel level and top it up if necessary.
•
Make sure that the generator has sufficient
ventilation.
•
Make sure that the ignition cable is secured to the
spark plug.
•
Inspect the immediate vicinity of the generator.
•
Disconnect any electrical equipment which may
already be connected to the generator. Note: Do
not run the generator without load for any length
of time.
•
Set the economy swithc (Fig. 2/Item 9) in the ON
“I” position (Section 7.2) to start the generator.
Once the generator is running, switch off the
economy switch (Fig. 2/Item 9) if you require
maximum speed.
7.1 Starting the engine
Important:
Do not use any chemical starting agents
such as highly volatile fuels or similar.
•
Move the ventilation switch on the tank cover to
the ON position (Fig. 4/Item A).
