not use any tools – the cylinder valve gasket
could be damaged, resulting in a leak.
3. (Fig. 1) Connect the hose line (N) to the pres-
sure regulator output thread (K) with a suitab-
le wrench size 17, turning it counter-clockwi-
se. To tighten, you must hold a second wrench
of the correct size on the pressure regulator
(faces are provided on the pressure regulator
for this purpose) in order to stop the regulator
being turned or to stop too much force being
transferred. Tightening the connection as just
described will prevent leaks.
4. Connect the hose line (B) to the generator
connection (C) using the wrench (Fig. 8a).
5. Use a leak tester to check all the connections
under operating pressure. If no bubbles form,
the connection is not leaking. It is prohibited
to conduct a leak test with a naked fl ame. Po-
rous or damaged hose lines and fi ttings must
be replaced immediately.
6.2.4 Replacing the gas cylinder
Take care when replacing the gas cylinder! Follow
the safety information in section 6.1.2.
Place a new gas cylinder upright at least one hour
before replacement (Fig. 1).
1. The liquid gas cylinder must be changed in
a well ventilated room or outdoors away from
naked fl ames (candles, cigarettes, other de-
vices with a naked fl ame, etc.).
2. Close the cylinder valve (F)
3. Undo the union nut (D) on the pressure regu-
lator
4. Take the pressure regulator (18) off the cylin-
der
5. Screw a guard cap onto the cylinder valve
thread (G)
6. Connect a new cylinder as described in sec-
tion 6.2.2
After you have connected the new gas cylinder
it is essential that you carry out the leakage test
in accordance with section 6.1.1 BEFORE you
restart the equipment.

6.2.5 Getting started

Note:
•
Before starting the equipment and in particu-
lar after a lengthy period of non-use, check
the gas supply parts for blockages caused by
insects, etc. If the gas pipes are blocked, a
dangerous flashback might occur.
•
Do not start up the equipment until you are
Anl_TE_IG_1900_DF_D_GB.indb 25 Anl_TE_IG_1900_DF_D_GB.indb 25
GB
certain that the gas hose and its connections
are not leaking (see section 6.2.6).
•
Check that the voltage supply is the same as
the voltage details on the rating plate.
•
If a leak develops during operation, close the
gas cylinder valve immediately and open all
the windows and doors.
6.2.6 Testing for leaks
With the gas cylinder valve open and the pressure
regulator closed, spray leak detection spray on
all the screw connections you have made in order
to check for leaks. If there is a leak, bubbles will
form at this position. In this case close the cylinder
valve immediately and re-tighten the screw con-
nections. Then check for leaks again. If the leak
remains after several attempts, please contact
Customer Service.
6.2.7 Starting in gas mode
Gas (cold and warm engine)
1. Open the gas cylinder
2. Set the 3-in-1 toggle switch (Item 10) to gas
mode
3. Press and hold the gas supply button (Item
17) on the stabilization valve (Item 16) for 5
seconds
4. Pull the starter handle quickly 3 to 5 times
If starting fails, repeat steps 3 to 4
Gas (winter)
Important: In the cold season, fi rst allow the en-
gine to run warm in petrol mode before changing
over to gas mode.
1. Start with petrol as described in section 6.1.1
Petrol (cold engine)
2. Let the engine warm up for 2 minutes
3. Set the 3-in-1 toggle switch (Item 10) to OFF
4. Open the gas cylinder
5. Set the 3-in-1 toggle switch to gas mode
6. Press and hold the gas supply button (Item
17) on the stabilization valve (Item 16) for 5
seconds
7. Pull the starter handle quickly 3 to 5 times
6.2.8 Stopping
Set the 3-in-1 toggle switch (Item 10) to OFF and
close the gas tap on the gas cylinder.
Note:
Petrol in the carburetor makes it diffi cult to start
the engine with liquid gas. When changing over
from petrol mode to LPG mode, the generator
might run unsteadily for a short time. Always place
