RECOMMENDED SAE MOTOR OIL VISCOSITY
CLASSES BASED ON AMBIENT TEMPERATURES (°C)
 The graph (fig. 7) specifies the motor oil classes for the
given temperature range in the case that Class SAE 15
W40 motor oil is not available.
y Check the oil level on the gauge (dipstick) after screwing
it out of the oil tank.
 Only check the oil level in the oil tank when the gene-
rator is standing on a horizontal level and only after an
extended period of time after the engine is turned off
(at least 15 minutes). If you perform the oil check too
soon after turning off the generator, not all the oil will
have flowed down the walls of the crankcase and the
oil level reading will not be reliable.
4. Check the condition air filter.
 Check the air filter for clogging and its condition every
time before putting the generator into operation
(the inspection and maintenance plan is provided in
chapter Cleaning and maintenance). Remove the air fil-
ter cover (fig. 8a), remove the filter (fig. 8b) and inspect
its condition, i.e. check whether it is clogged, damaged,
etc. Clean the filter after every 50 motor hours and
in the event of operation in dusty environment
after every 10 motor hours or more frequently
according to the instructions further provided in
chapter Cleaning and maintenance. In the event of
significant clogging or wear and tear, replace it with
a new original filter (the part number of the air filter
is provided in table 1). A clogged air filter or operati-
on of the generator without the air filter will result in
damage to the carburettor and the engine. A clogged
air filter prevents the supply of a sufficient amount of
combustion air to the engine and leads to the carboni-
sation of the engine, spark plug and exhaust pipe.
5. Through the strainer in the petrol tank filling
opening (fig. 16), pour clean lead-free car
petrol without oil.
 Always pour fuel into the tank through the strainer that
is inserted in the fuel tank opening. This will remove
any potential mechanical particles contained in the pet-
rol, which could clog the fuel system and carburettor.
y Petrol is highly flammable and very volatile. Petrol or its
fumes may very easily ignite, and therefore do not smoke
when handling petrol and prevent access to any flame or
spark sources. Do not pour petrol
into the fuel tank while the engine is
running and allow the generator to
cool down before pouring it in.
y Petrol is damaging to health. Therefore, prevent petrol
from coming into contact with skin, breathing in its
vapours and ingesting it. When handling
petrol, use protective aids, i.e. waterproof
gloves as well as safety glasses. Petrol is
absorbed through the skin into the body.

Only add petrol in well-ventilated environments to pre-
vent inhalation of fumes.

ATTENTION
y Norm ČSN 65 6500 stipulates that unless fuel is sto-
red in an enclosed air-tight, light-proof container at
a temperature of 10-20°C, the recommended period
for which the petrol is usable is 3 months.
Petrol deteriorates, meaning that the most volatile
(flammable) components evaporate from the petrol and,
likewise, when ambient temperatures fluctuate petrol
may be contaminated by condensating air moisture,
which based on the age of the petrol may result in pro-
blems with starting the engine, reduced power, increase
carbonisation of the spark plug, exhaust pipe, etc.
We recommend adding a petrol conditioner to
the petrol (petrol dewatering fluid). It helps
a great deal in the event of problems with
starting, improves the characteristics of the pet-
rol, extends the lifespan of the engine and reduces carbo-
nisation of the exhaust pipe. Petrol conditioner can be
purchased at fuel stations. Based on our experience, a pro-
ven conditioner is from the Wynn's brand under the name
DRY FUEL from the Belgian manufacturer. When using the
conditioner, follow the instructions for its use that are pro-
vided on the packaging of the product. Based on our ex-
perience, it is sufficient to add a smaller amount of conditi-
oner to the petrol than specified by the manufacturer,
however it also depends on the quality and age of the pet-
rol, since the petrol may be deteriorated already when sold
at the fuel station. Prior to using the petrol, allow the con-
ditioner to act in the petrol for 15-30 minutes. In the event
that the conditioner is added directly into the fuel tank of
the generator, it is necessary to stir the blend by appropri-
ately moving the generator, to enable the conditioner to
act on the entire volume of petrol and to wait 15-30 minu-
tes before starting the engine.
 Monitor the amount of petrol in the fuel tank using the
fuel level gauge.
 Do not fill the fuel tank all the way up to the neck of
the fuel tank. This will result in fuel spilling out when
handling the generator even through the closed cap.
 Never pour petrol into the generator while it is running
and allow the generator to cool down before pouring
it in.
6. Open the fuel supply into the carburettor by
turning the fuel valve lever to the position of
symbol "1" on the pictogram on the frame of
the generator.
 Wait a few moments before starting so that the petrol
can flow into the carburettor.
7. Set the choke lever to the symbol position
or to the position CLOSE.
