IV. Preparing the generator for operation
•
WARNING
y Carefully read the entire user's manual before first using
the generator, and keep the manual with the product so
that the user can become acquainted with it. If you lend
or sell the generator to somebody, include this user's
manual with it. Prevent this user's manual from being
damaged. The manufacturer takes no responsibility for
damages or injuries arising from use of the generator
that is in contradiction with this user's manual. Before
using the generator, first acquaint yourself with all the
control elements and parts as well as how to turn it
off immediately in the event of a dangerous situation
arising. Before using, first check that all parts are firmly
attached and check that no part of the generator, such
as for example safety protective elements, is damaged
or incorrectly installed, or missing. Do not use a genera-
tor with damaged or missing parts and have it repaired
or replaced at an authorised service centre for the
HERON® brand.
1. After unpacking, check the condition of the
surface, working order of the control ele-
ments of the generator and whether there are
any visible defects, e.g. unconnected cables,
unconnected fuel supply hoses, etc.
2. Place the generator on a rigid, level surface in
a well-ventilated location, which is at a safe
distance from flammable and explosive mate-
rials, and in locations without a flammable and
explosive atmosphere.
Note
 The generator set stands on rubber pads that dampen
the vibrations of the generator during its operation
and thereby reduce the emitted noise level and pre-
vent the generator from moving along hard ground
during operation.
•
WARNINGS
 The generator must not be operated in enclosed
or poorly ventilated areas or in environments (e.g.
in rooms, deeper outdoor trenches, etc.) since the
exhaust fumes are toxic and may lead to poisoning of
people or animals.
 The generator must not be operated in an environment
that is flammable or has an explosive atmosphere.
 The generator must not be operated at an incline of
more than 10° relative to the horizontal plane, since at
a greater incline the lubrication system is insufficient
and this leads to serious damage to the engine.
 If this incline of the generator is exceeded, fuel may
leak out of the fuel tank.

3. Fill the oil tank (into the crankcase of the engi-
ne) through the filling neck up to the oil level
mark with motor oil class of SAE 15W40 (fig. 6).
Check the oil level each time prior to starting
the generator, whilst the generator must be
standing on a horizontal surface.
•
WARNINGS
y When handing oil, use suitable water-resistant protecti-
ve gloves because oil is absorbed through the skin and
is damaging to health.
•
ATTENTION
y In the event that there is no oil in the oil tank, the oil
sensor will prevent the generator from starting as prote-
ction against damaging the engine.
 The generator is supplied without oil and thus prior
to first putting it into operation, it is necessary to fill
it with oil so that the gauge on the oil cap (dipstick) is
fully submerged in oil when fully screwed in. For the
purpose of pouring oil into the oil tank, screw open
the filling cap (fig. 6) and using a funnel pour motor oil
into the oil tank up to the level marked in the following
figure.
 Use quality motor oils intended for lubricating four-
-stroke air-cooled petrol engines, e.g. Shell Helix HX5
15 W-40, Castrol GTX 15 W40 or their equivalents,
with an SAE 15W40 viscosity class. Oils with a SAE
15W40 viscosity class ensure good lubrication proper-
ties at the temperatures in our climatic conditions (in
temperature range of -20°C to +35°C). Class SAE 15W40
oils can be purchased at fuel stations.
Only quality motor oil may be used in the generator.
Using other types of oils, e.g. food-grade oil or pneu-
matic tool oil, or used automotive oil, etc. is forbidden.
 Never use oils intended for two-stroke engines in
the generator!
•
WARNING
 When adding or replacing oil, do not mix motor
oils of various SAE classes or oils of the same SAE
class from various manufacturers.
