Initial Operation - Scheppach BGT2800 Original Bedienungsanleitung

Oil warning system
The oil warning system is configured to
avoid damage to the engine due to a lack
of oil in the spherical housing. Before the
oil level in the spherical housing can drop
below the safety level, the oil warning sys-
tem automatically cuts the engine off. If the
oil warning system cuts the engine off, refill
the engine oil.
Refuelling
Warning! Petrol is highly inflammable
and explosive. When handling fuels, you
may suffer burns or other severe inju-
ries. Use petrol with an octane rating of
at least 90 octane. Only use fresh, clean
fuel. Water or impurities in the petrol dam-
age the fuel system.
Tank volume: 15 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 op-
eration immediately 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 pre-
vent naked flames or sparks under these
circumstances.
• After refuelling, ensure that the tank cov-
er 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 differ-
ent brand of petrol. If this does not solve
the problem, contact an authorised dealer.

WARNING: Operating the engine with
continuous ignition tapping or knocking
can result in damage to the engine. Op-
erating the engine with continuous igni-
tion tapping or knocking is considered
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 connects the frame structure of the unit
to the earth connections in the a.c. sock-
ets. The earth is not connected 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 inflammable substances as an
earth source.
Start the engine (Fig. 1 + 2)
NOTE: Do not connect the electrical de-
vice before starting the engine.
