6. Before putting the machine into
operation
6.1 Electrical safety
- Electric supply cables and connected equipment
must be in perfect condition.
- The generator is to be operated only with
equipment whose voltage specifications conform
to the generator's output voltage.
- Never connect the generator to the power
supply (socket-outlet).
- Keep the cable length to the consumer as short
as possible.
6.2 Environmental protection
- Dispose of soiled maintenance material and
operating materials at the appropriate collection
point.
- Recycle packaging material, metal and plastics.
6.3 Connecting to earth
The housing is allowed to be connected to
earth in order to discharge static electricity. To
do this, connect one end of a cable to the earth
connection (4) on the generator and the other
end to an external earth (for example an earthing
rod).
7. Operation
Important!
You must fill up with engine oil and fuel before
you can start the engine.
- Check the fuel level and top it up if necessary.
- Make sure that the generator has sufficient
ventilation.
- Make sure that the ignition cable is secured to
the spark plug.
- Inspect the immediate vicinity of the generator.
- Disconnect any electrical equipment which may
already be connected to the generator.
7.1 Starting the engine (reversing starter, not
for SG 4200 and SG 5500)
- Do not connect the power tool before starting
the motor.
- Open the petrol cock (13) by turning it down.
- Move the ON/OFF switch (10) to position "I".
- Move the choke lever (11) to position IØI.
- Start the engine with the reversing starter (12)
by pulling the handle forcefully. If the engine
does not start, pull the handle again.
- Push the choke lever (11) back again after the
engine has started.
Important!
When starting with the reserve starter, the motor
may recoil suddenly as it starts up, resulting
in hand injuries. Wear protective gloves when
starting the equipment.
- Open the petrol cock (16) by turning it down.
- Move the ON/OFF switch (12) to position "I".
- Turn the electric starter (15) with the key to the
"START" position until the motor has started.
- Push the choke lever (13) back again after the
engine has started.
7.2 Connecting consumers to the generator
Connect the equipment you want to use to the
socket-outlets (3/4)
Important:
- Do not connect the generator to the domestic
power network as this may result in damage
to the generator itself or to other electrical
appliances in your home.
Note: Some electrical appliances (power jigsaws,
drills, etc.) may have a higher level of power
consumption when used in difficult conditions.
7.3 Switching off the engine
- Before you switch off the generator, allow it to
run briefly with no consumers so that it can "cool
down".
- Move the ON/OFF switch (10) to position "O".
- Close the petrol cock.
