possible when sufficient ventilation is approved by the
workplace safety department.
 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. Use a funnel to pour SAE 15W40 motor oil into
the engine's crankcase (fig. 8) (approx. 1.2 L of
oil). Check the oil level using the gauge loca-
ted on the generator as shown in fig. 4, posi-
tion 5. Minimum required oil level and maxi-
mum oil level on the gauge is shown in fig. 9.

WARNING
y When handling 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.
 Use quality motor oils intended for lubricating four-
-stroke air-cooled petrol/diesel engines, e.g. Shell
Helix HX7 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 lubricati-
on properties at the temperatures in our climatic con-
ditions (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.
RECOMMENDED SAE MOTOR OIL VISCOSITY
CLASSES BASED ON AMBIENT TEMPERATURES (°C)
 The graph (fig. 10) specifies the motor oil classes for
the given temperature range in the case that Class SAE
14 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
EN
(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 condition of the air filter and whether it is
clogged before putting the generator into operati-
on. A clogged air filter or operation of the generator
without the air filter will result in damage to the carbu-
rettor and the engine. A clogged air filter prevents the
supply of a sufficient amount of combustion air to the
engine and leads to the carbonisation of the engine,
spark plug and exhaust pipe. Never operate the genera-
tor without the air filter as this would result in damage
to the engine.
1) To access the air filter cover, remove the metal cover
on the surface of the generator. Grasp the cover by the
side handles and lift it off the generator to remove it
(fig. 11A) - the cover is not screwed on.
2) Tilt open the metal clamps of the plastic air filter cover
and remove the cover (step 1 and 2, fig. 11B).
3) To take the air filter out of the cover (fig. 11D), first pull both
the side clamps of the filter to the sides (step 1., fig. 11C)
and then take the filter out of the cover (step 2, fig. 11C).
Clean the filter after every 50 motor hours of ope-
ration (see motor hours counter, fig. 1, position 1)
or in the case of operation in a dusty environment
after every 10 motor hours or more frequently. In
the event that the filter is clogged, vacuum from
both sides using a vacuum cleaner or blow it out
using pressurised air from a compressor. In the
event of damage or substantial clogging, replace
with a new original one (part no.: 8896430B).
4) To insert the filter proceed in reverse sequence. First,
correctly seat the plastic cover with the air filter into
the clips on the side, where there are no metal clips
and only then clamp them using the metal clips. Check
that the plastic cover is correctly seated, otherwise
unfiltered air will flow into the engine.
5. Through the strainer in the petrol tank fil-
ling opening, 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 petrol, which could block the fuel
pump and clog the 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 turn off the
engine of the generator and allow it
to cool down before adding petrol!
