Electrical safety
1. Prior to use, the generator and its electrical equip-
ment (including lines and plug connectors) should
be checked to ensure that there are no defects.
2. The power generating unit must not be connected to
another power source such as the power supply of
energy supply companies. In special cases where a
reserve connection to existing electrical systems is
provided, this must only be carried out by a qualified
electrician who will take into account the differences
between the operated equipment using the public
mains and operation of the power generating unit.
According to this part of ISO 8528, the differences in
the operating manual must be specified.
3. Protection against electric shocks depends on
the circuit breakers which are matched precisely
to the power generating unit. If a circuit breaker
must be replaced, this should be done using a cir-
cuit breaker with the same rating and performance
characteristics.
ATTENTION: Use only E10 unleaded petrol as fuel.
m Use of petrol
m Danger to life! Petrol is toxic and highly flam-
mable.
• Only store petrol in containers (canisters) designed
and tested for this purpose. The fuel tank caps must
always be properly screwed on and tightened. De-
fective caps must be replaced for safety reasons.
• Keep petrol away from sparks, open flames, per-
manent flames, heat sources and other sources of
ignition. Do not smoke!
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refu-
elling.
• Before refuelling, switch off the combustion engine
and let it cool down.
• Petrol must be filled before starting the combustion
engine. While the combustion engine is running or if
the device is hot, the fuel tank must not be opened
and petrol must not be filled.
• Open the fuel filler cap carefully and slowly. Wait for
the pressure to equalise and only then remove the
fuel filler cap completely.
• Use a suitable funnel or filler pipe for refuelling so
that no fuel can spill onto the combustion engine and
housing or lawn.
Do not overfill the fuel tank!
26 | GB
• To leave room for the fuel to expand, never fill the
fuel tank beyond the lower edge of the filling nozzle.
Observe additional information in the combustion
engine user manual.
• If petrol has overflowed, do not start the combustion
engine until the petrol-contaminated area has been
cleaned. Avoid starting the engine until the fuel va-
pours have evaporated (wipe dry).
• Always wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
• If petrol has got on clothing, it must be changed.
• The tank cover must be properly screwed on and
tightened after each refuelling operation. The device
must not be put into operation without the original
tank cover screwed on.
• For safety reasons, check the fuel line, fuel tank,
fuel filler cap and connections regularly for damage,
ageing (brittleness), tight fit and leaks, and replace
if necessary.
• Only empty the fuel tank outdoors.
• Never use beverage bottles or similar to dispose of
or store operating materials, such as fuel. People,
especially children, could be tempted to drink from it.
• Never store the device with petrol in the fuel tank in-
side a building. Any fuel vapours produced can come
into contact with naked flames or sparks and ignite.
• Do not place the device and fuel tank near heaters,
radiant heaters, welding machines or other sources
of heat.
Risk of explosion!
If a defect is detected on the fuel tank, the fuel filler cap
or on fuel-carrying parts (fuel lines) during operation,
the combustion engine must be switched off immedi-
ately. Then consult a specialist dealer.
Residual risks
The device is state-of-the-art and has been built in ac-
cordance with the recognised technical safety rules. How-
ever, individual residual risks can arise during operation.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use
of improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met,
some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety In-
structions" and the "Intended Use" together with the
operating manual as a whole are observed.
• Avoid accidental start-ups of the power generator.
• Use the device in the way that is recommended in
this operating manual. This is how to ensure that your
power generator provides optimum performance.
