8. Before putting the machine into
operation
Important! Fill in engine oil and fuel before starting up
the generator for the first time.
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
9. Operation

9.1 Starting the engine

Open the petrol cock (13) by turning it down
Set the ON/Off switch (10) to position "1".
Move the choke lever (11) to position IØI.
Start the engine with the reversing starter (12) by
pulling the handle forcefully. If the engine does not
start, pull the handle again.
Move the choke lever (11) back to the right after
the engine has started.

9.2 Connecting consumers to the generator

Connect the machine you want to use to the 230 V
or 400 V ~ sockets (3).
Important! The specified load limit of 4800 W is
allowed to be exceeded for a short period of time
only.
The generator is suitable for AC appliances only.
Do not connect the generator to the household
network as this may result in damage to the
generator itself or to other electrical appliances in
your home.
Important: When electrical appliances (power jigsa-
ws, drills, etc.) are used in difficult conditions, they
have a higher level of power consumption (watts or
amps) than that quoted on the manufacturer's rating
plate.

9.3 Switching off the engine

27.08.2004 10:58 Uhr Seite 7
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 "0"
Close the petrol cock
Important! The generator is fitted with an
overload cut-out.
This shuts down the 230V~ socket (3). You can
restart the sockets (3) by pressing the overload
cut-out (5).
Important! If this happens, reduce the electric
power you are taking from the generator.
9.4 Connecting to earth (Fig. 3)
The generator must be earthed to prevent an electric
shock from electrical equipment. Connect a piece of
cable between the earth connection (4) on the gene-
rator and an external earth point.
10. Maintenance
Remove dust and dirt from the machine at regular
intervals. The best tools for cleaning are a fine
brush or a cloth
Do not use any caustic substances to clean the
plastic
Take the petrol out of the generator if you
do not intend to use the generator for a lengthy
period of time
Important: Switch off the machine immediately
and contact your service station:
In the event of unusual vibrations or noise
If the engine appears to be overloaded or misfires
If the exhaust gases are too dark or too light
