Initial Operation - Scheppach SG7100 Original Bedienungsanleitung

Tank volume: 25 litres
• Only fill the tank up to the marking in the fuel
strainer.
• Note that fuel expands.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine
stopped. If the engine was in operation immedi-
ately before, allow it to cool first.
• Never refuel the engine in a building where the
petrol vapour may come into contact with flames
or sparks.
• Do not smoke whilst refuelling or in the area in
which the petrol is stored and prevent naked
flames or sparks under these circumstances.
• After refuelling, ensure that the tank cover is
closed correctly and securely again. Take care!
• Mop up spilled petrol immediately.
• If petrol is spilled, ensure that the area is dried
before starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or long contact of the fuel with the
skin and avoid breathing in the fumes.
• Keep the fuel out of the reach of children.
• If there are occasional taps or knocks from the
engine, you should use a different brand of petrol.
If this does not solve the problem, contact an au-
thorised dealer.
Connecting the battery
Now connect the red cable to the plus pole (+) and
the black cable to the minus pole (-).
Note: The battery charges itself during operation.
WARNING: Operating the engine with continu-
ous ignition tapping or knocking can result in
damage to the engine. Operating the engine with
continuous ignition tapping or knocking is con-
sidered improper use. The manufacturer is not
responsible for the resulting damages; the user
solely bears the risk.

9. Initial operation

Earthing the generator
The power unit is equipped with an earth that con-
nects the frame structure of the unit to the earth con-
nections in the a.c. sockets. The earth is not con-
nected to the a.c. neutral cables. If the power unit
is tested with a phasing tester, it does not have the
same ground loop as a normal household appliance.
To protect against electric shock, ensure that the
generator is earthed. Connect the generator and the
external earth source, e.g. a water pipe that is driven
into the earth or a copper pipe that is driven into the
earth, with a thick wire.
WARNING: Do not use any pipes that carry in-
flammable substances as an earth source.

Electrical devices that can be connected
This power unit can power light bulbs, heaters, drills,
water pumps, etc. Do not exceed the load limit spec-
ified for the power unit.
The power unit may not be used to power devices
that have a high power requirement.
The power unit cannot be used for precision devices
such as computers. These precision devices may be
damaged by distortions caused by the broad wave
when the power unit's power is output.
Do not connect the power unit to the electrical instal-
lation of a building.
WARNING: Connection to the electrical installa-
tion of a building may result in the electric current
being returned to the mains supply wires.
This return causes a risk of a fatal electric shock
for employees of the electricity supplier or oth-
er persons who touch the wires during a power
failure.
