Error/Fault
The motor does not reach the
maximum speed.
The motor does not stop.
No power supply.
Please contact seller directly if you cannot eliminate
the error by yourself. Please note that the unprofes-
sional performance of repair work will lead to the loss
of any warranty claims and that additional costs may
be incurred.
Background knowledge
The following section explains terms that are impor-
tant for the electrical operating media (e.g. cables,
fuses, consumers) when operating generator units:
Frequency response characteristic
Generator units cause a non-sinus formed frequency
response characteristic of alternating current which
may damage electronic units (e.g. computers, con-
sumer electronics, etc.).
Do not use electronic appliances as consumers.
Apparent power S
The apparent power is the required performance for
which the electrical media must be designed in order
to not be damaged, or to not display considerable
drops in performance.
Only use electrical media in accordance with the
specified apparent power.
The apparent power is specified in Volt Ampere (VA).
Effective power P
The effective power is the power a consumer may
actually have. The effective power is thus generally
lower than the apparent power.
The effective power is specified in Watt (W).
Power factor cos φ
The power factor refers to the relationship between
effective and apparent power.
The power factor specifies what proportion of the
apparent power is converted to the required effective
power.
Cause
Is the air filter soiled?
Spark plug is dirty (tip is sooty)?
Electrode spacing of the spark
plug is too big?
Wrong fuel?
Spark plug:
Is the electrode light grey, show-
ing burn signs?
Was the overload protection trig-
gered?
When using electrical motors, the power factor is
generally between 0.92 and 0.8, and with a electrical
heating spiral it is 1.
The power factor is often specified on the type plates
of electrical motors.
Starting current I A
The starting current is the current required by some
consumers (e.g. electrical motors) on start up in
order to accelerate their own centrifugal mass. The
starting current is often greater than the current
needed for subsequent operation by a factor of 5 to
10.
The starting current is given in Ampere (A).
Please take note of the technical data for the devices
connected as consumers.

Remedies
Clean the air filter.
Clean the spark plug.
Set the correct electrode distance
(Technical data – Page 51).
Empty the tank and fill with the
right mixture.
Wrong spark plug.
Set the circuit-breaker switch to
ON.
