Cleaning; Transport; Storage; Maintenance - Scheppach SG5200D Original Bedienungsanleitung

• The generator is suitable for alternating voltage ap-
pliances for 230 V~ and 400 V 3~.
• The generator may also be exposed to a continu-
ous load of 12 V DC (15).
• The power generator is not suitable to be connect-
ed to the house network as a home emergency
power supply. Damage to the generator or other
electrical equipment may be caused.
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 (7) to position "OFF" us-
ing the key.
Oil warning light (9)
The display activates when the oil level is too low and
switches off the engine. As soon as the oil level is
sufficient, the engine can be restarted.
Winter operation
Since the generator is powered by a diesel engine,
special precautions must be taken for using it in
the winter. Use "winter diesel" to operate the diesel
generator in outdoor temperatures between -3°C to
-10°C. The change to winter diesel takes place at dif-
ferent times depending on the country concerned, it
is general around the end of October. You can ask at
your filling station when this change should be made.
• If you use the diesel generator regularly, you do not
need to take any precautions since the change to
winter diesel takes place automatically.
• If you do not use the generator for a lengthy period
during autumn, but then wish to use it again in win-
ter, we recommend that you keep the tank almost
empty
• Ask at your filling station when you should change
to winter diesel and fill the tank with winter diesel
before the onset of outdoor temperatures of be-
tween -3°C and -10°C.
• If the diesel fuel still freezes, you must move the
diesel generator to a place where the temperature
is approximately +10°C for a period of approximate-
ly 12 hours.
• If the tank is between halfway and full with normal
diesel fuel, this should then be drain as described
in point 8.4.
• Then fill the tank with winter diesel.
• If the tank is between empty and half-full, simply fill
it up with winter diesel.
