8. Before commissioning

Electrical safety
Prior to use, the power generator and its electrical
equipment (including lines and plug connectors) should
be checked to ensure that there are no defects.
Never connect the power generator to the mains (socket).
The power lines to the consumer must be kept as short
as possible.
8.1 Earthing (Fig. 3)
m Attention! Electric shock!
- Do not use bare wires for earthing.
- Power generator must be safely earthed.
Earthing the housing is necessary 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).
m ATTENTION!
Check before operation
• Check all sides of the engine for oil or fuel leaks.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the fuel level – Fill with at least 2 litres of Su-
per E10 petrol.
• Check the condition of the air filter.
• Check the condition of the fuel lines.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check that all protective covers are in place and all
screws are tightened.
• Ensure that the device is sufficiently ventilated.
• Make sure that the spark plug connector is attached
to the spark plug (20).
• Disconnect any connected electrical devices from
the power generator.
8.2 Top up oil (Fig. 7 + 8)
m Attention!
The power generator is delivered without engine
oil. Therefore, ensure that you add oil before start-
ing it up. Please use 15W40 oil.
Check the oil level regularly before commissioning. An
oil level that is too low can damage the engine.
1. Place the power generator on a level, even sur-
face.
2. Remove the engine cover (3) by unscrewing the
two screws with a Phillips screwdriver (not includ-
ed in the scope of delivery).
3. Unscrew the oil dipstick (16).
4. Fill the tank with engine oil using a funnel (14).
Note the max. filling capacity of 350 ml. Carefully
fill the oil up to the lower edge of the filler neck.
5. Wipe the oil dipstick (16) with a clean, lint-free cloth.
6. Re-insert the oil dipstick (16) and check the oil lev-
el without screwing the dipstick tight again.
7. The oil level must be within the middle mark on
the oil dipstick.
8. If the oil level is too low, add the recommended
amount of oil (max. 350 ml).
9. Then screw the oil dipstick (16) in again.
10. Put the engine cover (3) on and fix in place by
retightening the two screws.
8.3 Refill with fuel
m Attention!
The power generator is delivered without petrol. It
is therefore essential to fill with petrol before com-
missioning. Use Super E10 petrol for this.
1. Unscrew the tank cover (2) and fill a maximum of
4.1 l Super E10 petrol into the tank container using
the funnel (14).
2. Ensure that the tank is not overfilled (Observe the
fill level marking (23)!) and that no petrol is spilled.
Use a fuel filter insert (22). Clean up spilled petrol
immediately and wait until the fuel vapours have
evaporated (wipe dry).
3. Close the tank cover (2).
