Operation
NOTICE
Engine damage from the wrong fuel!
The power generator may only be fuelled with petrol (min. 91 RON),
E10 or Aspen four-stroke. Observe pictograms on the power
generator.
Limited storage life of fuel
The fuel in the tank of the power generator must be utilised within six
months. Otherwise deposits (sediments and precipitation) can occur.
The fuel in the fuel canister is to be changed at least twice a year
(depletion or replacement), because conditions for storage (vibration,
high temperature fluctuations) reduce the knock resistance of the fuel.
Replace fuel
If the fuel should be changed in the power generator's tank, make sure that
there is no mixing of different sorts of fuel.
Deplete fuel in tank, or extract with a suitable pump.
Before fuelling
► Verify if it is necessary to refuel (e.g. by observing fuel warning lamp).
► Check the immediate environment and create as much space as pos-
sible. (Free space for unhindered escape from the danger zone must
be ensured).
► Fuelling is prohibited in a horizontal radius of 0.5 m to the filler neck
and vertically to the ground if an ignition source is present.
► Ensure that a deployable fire extinguisher (fire classes A and B, mini-
mum size 5 kg) is available.
► When refuelling, filling aids (fuel canister with filler) must be used.
► A second qualified person must be present during fuelling operations,
in order to help in the event of an emergency.
► Make sure that the angle of inclination of the power generator from the
horizontal is less than
•
15° with fuel canister and filler neck
•
5° with refuelling set
► Ensure there is adequate lighting.
Fuelling with fuel canister and filler neck
► Prepare fuel canister.
► Open canister and correctly position the filler neck. Lock the filler
neck fastener onto the canister.
► Make sure that no environmental disturbances are to be expected.
► Ensure secure footing during refuelling (e.g. spillages - hot surfaces -
engine).
