The socket (8) can be used again after the overload protection
has been triggered once the engine has been switched off and
restarted (See "Turning off engine" and "Starting engine").
ATTENTION! If this happens reduce the amount of electrical
output which you are extracting from the generator or remove
defective devices which are attached.
ATTENTION! Faulty overload switches should only be re-
placed with identically constructed overload switches with the
same performance data. Please use our customer service de-
partment.
ATTENTION! Turn the device off immediately and contact
your Service Station:
• With unusual vibrations or noises.
• If the engine seems overloaded or has backfired.

9. Maintenance

Before cleaning and maintenance work, turn off the engine and
pull the spark plug connector (15) out of the spark plug (16).
WARNING! Risk of burning! Wait until the machine has
cooled down before cleaning or servicing it.

or petrol.
• Clean the element by tapping it on a flat surface. If it is very
dirty wash with soapy water, rinse with clean water and
leave to dry.

Changing the oil, (Fig. 5)
Changing the oil should take place when the engine is warm.
WARNING! Drain fuel before replacing the oil.
Only use engine oil (15W-40).
• Place the generator on its front side on a suitable surface.
• Open the oil filler cap (13) and drain the warm engine oil
into a container by tilting the generator.
• Pour in engine oil (approx. 0.25 litres).
• Close the oil filler cap (13).
• Stand the generator upright again.
Low oil switch off
The low oil switch-off responds, if there is not enough engine oil.
The oil check bulb (5) starts to flash when there is insufficient
oil in the motor. The check bulb begins to flash when the oil
amount has gone below the safe level. The engine will turn off
independently after a short time. Restart is possible only after
pouring in more engine oil (see Chapter "Replacing the oil").

10. Cleaning

Keep the safeguards, air vents and the engine housing as dust
and dirt free as possible. Wipe the device with a clean cloth
or blow it with compressed air with low pressure. We recom-
mend that you clean the device after every use. Regularly clean
the device with a damp cloth and a little soft soap. Do not
use any cleaning products or solvents which could attack the
plastic part of the device. Ensure that no water can penetrate
the housing.

11. Storage

Preparation for storage
• Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump.
Warning notice: Do not remove fuel in closed rooms,
close to fire or whilst smoking. Vapours can cause explo-
sions or fires.
• Start the engine and leave it running until the rest of the pet-
rol has been used up.
• Change the oil after each season. To do this, remove the old
oil from the warm engine and refill with new oil.
• Remove the spark plug. Fill about 20 ml of oil into the cylin-
der using an oil can.
• Slowly pull the express start so that the oil protects the cylin-
der from the inside.
• Screw the spark plug back in
• Store the device in a well ventilated place or area.

12. Transport

Preparation for transporting
• Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump or alterna-
tively using the petrol tap and a suitable canister.
• Once it is ready for use, leave the engine running until the
rest of the petrol has been used up.
