8.2 Top up oil (fig. 7 + 8)
ATTENTION
The product is delivered without engine oil. There-
fore, ensure that you add oil before starting it up.
Use SAE 15W-40 oil.
Check the oil level regularly before commissioning. An oil
level that is too low can damage the motor.
1. Place the product on a level, even surface.
2. Remove the engine cover (3) by unscrewing the two
screws with a Phillips screwdriver (not included in the
scope of delivery).
3. Unscrew the oil dipstick (16).
4. Fill the motor with engine oil using a funnel (14). Note
the max. filling capacity of 350 ml.
Fill the oil up to the lower edge of the filling nozzle
carefully.
5. Wipe the oil dipstick (16) with a clean, lint-free cloth.
6. Reinsert the oil dipstick (16) without screwing the dip-
stick tight again and then check the oil level.
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. 350 ml total filling quantity).
9. Then screw the oil dipstick (16) in again.
10. Put the engine cover (3) on and fix in place by retight-
ening the two screws.
8.3 Refill with fuel
DANGER
Risk of fire and explosion!
When filling, fuel may ignite and even explode. This can
lead to severe burns or death.
• Switch off the engine and let it cool down.
• Keep heat, flames and sparks away.
• Only fill up with fuel outdoors.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Start the product at a distance of at least 3 m from the
fuel filling point.
• Watch out for leaks. If fuel is leaking, do not start the
engine.
ATTENTION
The product is delivered without fuel. It is
therefore essential to fill with fuel before
commissioning. Use Super E10 petrol for
this.
1. Unscrew the tank filler cap (2) and fill a maximum of
4.1 l Super E10 petrol into the tank container using
the funnel (14).
2. Ensure that the fuel tank is not overfilled (observe the
fill level marking (23)!) and that no fuel is spilled. Use
a fuel filter insert (22). Clean up spilled fuel immedi-
ately and wait until the fuel vapours have evaporated
(wipe dry).
3. Close the tank cover (2).
ATTENTION
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine
stopped.
If the engine was in operation immediately before,
allow it to cool first. Never refuel the engine in a
building where the fuel vapour may come into con-
tact with flames or sparks.
Fuel is highly inflammable and explosive.
When handling fuels, you may suffer burns or other
severe injuries.
9 Operation
9.1 Starting the engine (Fig. 5+6)
DANGER
Danger of poisoning!
Only use the product outdoors and never in closed or
poorly ventilated rooms.
1. Set the ventilation on the tank cover (2) to "ON".
2. Set the on/off switch (13) to the "RUN" position.
Note: The energy saving switch (10) must be set to
"OFF".
When the engine is cold
1. Attention! Never allow the pull starter (5) to whip
back. This can result in damage.
2. Set the on/off switch (13) to the "CHOKE" position.
3. Now pull the pull starter (5) and the engine should
start. If the engine does not start, repeat the process.
4. Move the on/off switch (13) from the "CHOKE" posi-
tion to the "RUN" position after starting the engine (af-
ter approx. 15-30 seconds). (Fig. 6)
5. If the engine does not start even after several at-
tempts, read the "Troubleshooting" chapter.
NOTE
With high outside temperatures, it may be necessary to
start the power generator without the choke even when
the engine is cold!
When the engine is warm
1. Set the on/off switch (13) to the "RUN" position.
2. Now pull the pull starter (5) quickly. The product
should start after 2 pulls. If the product has still not
started, repeat the procedure described under "Start-
ing the engine when cold".
NOTE
If the engine is being started for the first time, several
tries are required to start until the fuel has been deliv-
ered from the tank to the engine.
1. Move the on/off switch (13) from the "CHOKE" posi-
tion to the "RUN" position after starting the engine (af-
ter approx. 15-30 seconds). (Fig. 6)
