Before Starting The Equipment - EINHELL TC-IG 2000 Originalbetriebsanleitung

5. Before starting the equipment

5.1 Electrical safety:
•
Electric supply cables and connected equip-
ment must be in perfect condition.
•
The generator is to be operated only with
•
equipment whose voltage specifications con-
form with the generator's output voltage.
•
Never connect the generator to the power
supply (socket-outlet).
•
Keep the cable length to the consumer as
short as possible.
5.2 Environmental protection
•
Dispose of soiled maintenance material and
•
operating materials at the appropriate collec-
tion point.
•
Recycle packaging material, metal and plas-
tics.
5.3 Connecting to earth
The housing is allowed to be connected to earth
in order to discharge static electricity. To do this,
connect one end of a cable to the earth connec-
tion on the generator and the other end to an ex-
ternal earth (for example an earthing rod).
6. Operation
Important! You must fi ll up with engine oil and
fuel before you can start the engine.
•
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 gene-
rator
•
Disconnect any electrical equipment which
may already be connected to the generator

Important!
When starting with the reserve starter, the motor
may recoil suddenly as it starts up, resulting in
hand injuries. Wear protective gloves when star-
ting the equipment.
6.2 Connecting consumers to the generator
•
Connect the equipment you want to use to
the 230 V~sockets (3).
•
The generator is suitable for 230 V~ AC appli-
ances only.
•
Do not connect the generator to the
household mains system as this may result
in damage to the generator itself or to other
electrical appliances in your home.
Note: Some electrical appliances (power jigsaws,
drills, etc.) may have a higher level of power con-
sumption when used in diffi cult conditions.
If in doubt, consult the manufacturer of your ap-
pliance.
6.3 Overload cut-out 2 x 230 V socket-outlets
Important! The generator is fi tted with an
overload cut-out.
This shuts down the sockets (3).
Important! If this happens, reduce the electric
power you are taking from the generator or remo-
ve any defective connected appliances.
Important! Defective overload cut-outs must be
replaced only by overload cut-outs of identical
design and with the same performance data. If
repairs are necessary, please contact your custo-
mer service center.
6.4 Switching off the engine
•
Before you switch off the generator, allow it
to run briefly with no consumers so that it can
„cool down"
•
Move the ON/OFF switch (10) to position
„OFF" with the key.
•
Close the petrol cock
