Before each use, check the oil level with the engine
switched off and on a level surface. Use the highest
quality four-stroke oil or an HD oil with the same level
of quality.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use at all
temperatures.
Checking the oil level, fig. 6
Remove the engine cover (Fig. 5)
Remove the oil filler cap (A) and wipe the dipstick
clean.
Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the
filling nozzle without screwing the cap on.
If the oil level is too low, refill with the recommended
oil up to the lower rim of the oil filling nozzle.
Filling with fuel
• To refuel - cap (2) open counter clockwise.
• Fill fuel tank in
• Closing tank - tank cap (2) clockwise.
Recommended fuel
Unleaded regular gasoline with a research octane
number of 91 or higher is required for this engine.
Use only fresh and clean fuel.
m Water or impurities in the petrol damage the fuel
system.
Tank volume: 4,1 litre
m Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the
stopped engine. If the engine has been running,
allow it to cool first. Never refuel the engine in-
side a building where gasoline fumes may reach
flames or sparks.
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive. You
can get burns or other serious injuries when han-
dling fuel.
• Switch off the engine and keep it away from heat,
sparks and flames.
• Refuelling only outdoors.
• Immediately clean up spilled petrol.
9. Operation
9.1 Starting the engine
• Vent the tank lid to „ON" position (Fig. 3)
• Set the on/off switch to the "RUN" position (Fig. 4).
In "warm" condition
• Starting the engine with the recoil starter; there-
fore tighten handle sharply. Attach the recoil starter
gently and slowly by hand in the original position.
If the engine hasn't started yet, tighten the handle
further. (Fig. 1 Pos. 4)
24 | GB
In "cold" condition
• Set the on/off switch to the "CHOKE" position (Fig.
4).
• Starting the motor with the recoil starter; therefore
tighten handle sharply. Attach the recoil starter
gently and slowly by hand in the original position.
If the engine hasn't started yet, tighten the handle
further. (Fig. 5)
Note:
When the engine is started the first time, several at-
tempts are necessary for starting up to transport the
fuel from the tank to the engine.
• After starting the engine (after approx. 15-30 s),
move the on/off switch (3) from the "CHOKE" posi-
tion to the "RUN" position. (Fig. 4)
9.2 Switching off the engine
• Let the generator run briefly without load before
you turn it off, so that the aggregate can "recooling"
• Set the on/off switch to the "OFF" position (Fig. 4).
9.3 Oil warning light (11)
Display is active at low oil level and deactivated when
sufficient oil level.
9.4 Overload indicator (12)
Overload protection is active at too high a power
take-off - Turns off 230 V sockets (9).
Turn off the unit (see section 9.2).
Connected devices from separate generator. The unit
(see section 9.1).
9.5 Operating display (13)
Power indicator active - when the engine is running.
9.6 Energy saving switch (9)
Reduce fuel consumption / idle - Energy saving
switch "ON" position.
9.7. Electrical safety
Electrical cables and attached devices must be de-
fect free.
Never connect the generator to the mains (power
point).
Keep the cables as short as possible.
9.8 Connecting to earth (fig. 2)
The housing can be connected to earth to discharge
static electricity. To do this, connect one end of a ca-
ble to the earthing connection (7) on the generator
and the other end to an external ground (z. B. for ex-
ample to an earthing rod).
9.9 USB port
This generator is equipped with two USB ports.
These can be used to charge smartphones.
