m WARNING!
Health hazard!
Inhaling petrol/lubricant vapours may lead to severe
health damage, loss of consciousness and, in extreme
cases, to death.
- Do not inhale petrol/lubricant vapours.
- Operate the device outdoors only.
NOTE!
Device damage
Using the device without or with too little engine and
gearbox oil can result in engine damage.
- Fill with petrol and oil before commissioning. The
device is supplied without engine oil and gearbox
oil.
NOTE!
Environmental damage!
Spilled oil can pollute the environment permanently.
The liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water
pollution.
- Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces.

8.1 Earthing (Fig. 3)
m Attention! Electric shock!
• Do not use bare wires for earthing.
• Power generator must be safely earthed.
Earthing the housing is necessary to discharge static
charging. To do this, connect a cable on one side to
the earth terminal (16) of the power generator and on
the other side to an external mass rising pipe (e.g. rod
earth).
m ATTENTION!
Check before operation
• Check all sides of the engine for oil or fuel leaks.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the fuel level – Fill with at least 2 litres of Su-
per E10 petrol.
• Check the condition of the air filter.
• Check the condition of the fuel lines.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check that all protective covers are in place and all
screws are tightened.
• Ensure that the device is sufficiently ventilated.
• Make sure that the spark plug connector is attached
to the spark plug (23).
• Disconnect any connected electrical devices from
the power generator.
8.2 Top up oil (Fig. 7 + 8)
m Attention!
The power generator is delivered without engine
oil. Therefore, ensure that you add oil before start-
ing it up. Use 15W40 oil here.
Check the oil level regularly before commissioning. An
oil level that is too low can damage the motor.
1. Place the power generator on a level, even sur-
face.
2. Remove the engine cover (3) by unscrewing the
two screws with a Phillips screwdriver (not includ-
ed in the scope of delivery).
3. Unscrew the oil dipstick (20).
4. Fill the tank with engine oil using a funnel (17).
Note the max. filling capacity of 400 ml. Carefully
fill the oil up to the lower edge of the filling port.
5. Wipe the oil dipstick (20) with a clean, lint-free
cloth.
6. Re-insert the oil dipstick (20) and check the oil lev-
el without screwing the dipstick tight again.
7. The oil level must be within the middle mark on
the oil dipstick.
8. If the oil level is too low, add the recommended
amount of oil (max. 400 ml).
9. Then screw the oil dipstick (20) in again.
10. Put the engine cover (3) on and fix in place by
retightening the two screws.
8.3 Refill with fuel
m Attention!
The power generator is delivered without petrol. It
is therefore essential to fill with petrol before com-
missioning. Use Super E10 petrol for this.
1. Unscrew the tank filler cap (2) and fill a maximum
of 3 l Super E10 petrol into the tank container using
the funnel (17).
