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 collection
point
Recycle packaging material, metal and plastics.
5.3 Connecting to earth
The housing must be connected to earth in order to
discharge static electricity. To do this, connect one
end of a 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).
5.4 Topping up fuel
Unscrew the tank cover (Fig. 1/Item.2) and add up to
2.7 liters of unleaded gasoline using a filler neck.
Ensure that you do not overfill the tank and spill
gasoline. (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.
5.5 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 (15W40)
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.
Importan! The equipment must be filled with engine
oil and fuel before it is started.

6. Using the equipment

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
6.1 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).
Open the petrol cock (Fig. 5/Item. 3) by turning it
to the side.

Move the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 2/Item. 7) to the "I"
position.
Set the choke lever (Fig. 1/Item. 16) to "Choke".
Start the engine with the starter cord (Fig. 1/Item.
4) by pulling the handle forcefully; 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.
6.2 Economy mode:
Economy switch (Fig. 2/Item. 9) in the "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 "0"
position:
The generator runs at maximum speed.
6.3 Connecting consumers to the generator
Connect the 230 V~ devices to be powered to the
socket (Fig. 2/Item. 10).
Important! This socket may be exposed to a
continuous (S1) load of 900 W and temporarily
(S2) for a maximum of 2 minutes to a load of
1000 W.
Connect the 12 V d.c. devices to be powered to
the 12 V d.c. 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 may only be
used 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 (jigsaws, drills, ...)
may have a higher level of power consumption when
used in difficult conditions Be sure not to exceed the
power output of the generator.
6.4 Overload cut-out
230 V socket:
The status indicator (Fig. 2/Item. 14) is lit green
during normal operation.
If an overload occurs, the overload indictor (Fig.
2/Item. 13) flashes red.
Turn off the equipment (Fig. 2, Item. 7).
Press the overload switch (Fig. 2/Item. 22).
