Before Starting The Equipment; Operation - EINHELL TC-PG 5500 WD Originalbetriebsanleitung

5. Before starting the equipment

5.1 Assembly
•
Assemble the foot, wheels and push bar as
shown in Figures 6-9.
•
Assemble all parts before filling in fuel and oil
in order to prevent the fluids from leaking out.
•
To mount the wheels, first slide the axle
through the mountings on the bottom of the
generator and fit the wheels as shown on Fi-
gure 7. Make sure that the sides of the wheels
with the more protruding wheel hubs are fa-
cing towards the generator, as the wheels will
otherwise drag against the frame.
5.2 Electrical safety:
•
Electric supply cables and connected equip-
ment must be in perfect condition.
•
The generator is to be operated only with
•
equipment whose voltage specifications con-
form with 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.
5.3 Environmental protection
•
Dispose of soiled maintenance material and
•
operating materials at the appropriate collec-
tion point.
•
Recycle packaging material, metal and plas-
tics.
5.4 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 connec-
tion on the generator (Fig. 4) and the other end to
an external earth (for example an earthing rod).
5.5 Battery
Caution! Whenever you do any work on the
battery and when you dispose of the battery, you
must observe the safety instructions of the manu-
facturer.
Warning! The person entrusted with inserting the
battery should remove all metal armbands, wrist-
watches, rings and similar before starting to insert
the battery. There is a risk of burns if any of these
objects should come into contact with the battery
poles or current-conducting cables.

Warning! Check the insulation on the cables
and plugs each time before use. If there are any
defects in the insulation, the equipment must not
be used.
Warning! Have repairs carried out only by an au-
thorized workshop or by the manufacturer.
Inserting and removing the battery (Fig. 15a/15b)
Caution! Use the generator only with a mainte-
nance-free 12 V battery.
Open the battery cover (Fig. 15a/Item A). Place
the battery (Item 24) on the base. First connect
the red cable (+) and then the black cable (-) (Fig.
15b). Remove it in reverse order.
Caution! Do not disconnect the battery from the
electrical system during operation as this may
destroy the charge electronics.
Charging the battery from the electrical system
The battery is charged by the generator via the
electrical system during operation.
Maintenance and care of the battery
•
Ensure that your battery is always fitted se-
curely.
•
A perfect connection to the cable network of
the electrical system must be ensured at all
times.
•
Keep the battery clean and dry.

6. Operation

Important! You must fi ll 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 gene-
rator
•
Disconnect any electrical equipment which
may already be connected to the generator
6.1.1 Starting up with the electric starter
•
Open the petrol cock (13) by turning it down
