8. Assembly / Before commissioning

The device is preassembled at the factory!
Before commissioning
Connect the battery (fig. 5)
Prepare battery and connect.
Fit the battery (18) in the device using the battery at-
tachment set (16). Now connect the red cable (+) and
then the black cable (-) to the battery.
m ATTENTION!
Check before starting the engine:
• Check the fuel level, refill if necessary - the tank
should be at least half-full
• Ensure the device has sufficient ventilation
• Disconnect any connected electrical devices from
the power generator
• The condition of the air filter,
• The condition of the fuel lines,
• The firm seating of the external screw connections,
Attention! Fill the oil before first use.
Before each use, check the oil level with the engine
switched off and on a level surface. Use the highest
quality four-stroke oil or an HD oil with the same level
of quality. SAE 15W-40 is recommended for general
use at all temperatures.
Check the oil level (fig. 6 + 8)
Open the maintenance cover (5). Remove the oil filler
cap (19) and wipe the dipstick clean. Check the oil
level by inserting the dipstick into the filling nozzle
without screwing the cap on. If the oil level is too low,
refill with the recommended oil up to the lower rim of
the oil filling nozzle.
Fill up with fuel (Attention! Diesel only)
• In order to refuel the device, open the tank cover (3)
by turning it anti-clockwise.
• Fill storage tank with fuel.
• Close the tank by turning the tank cover (3) clock-
wise.
Recommended fuel
This engine only requires diesel.
m Only use fresh, clean fuel.
Water or impurities in the diesel damage the fuel sys-
tem.
m 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 diesel vapour may
come into contact with flames or sparks.
Diesel vapour is highly flammable and explosive.
When handling fuels, you may suffer burns or oth-
er severe injuries.
• Switch off the engine and keep it away from heat,
sparks and flames.
• Only refuel outdoors.
• Mop up spilled diesel immediately.
Electrical safety
Electrical supply lines and connected devices must be
in perfect condition.
Only devices whose voltage information matches with
the output voltage of the power generator may be con-
nected.
Never connect the power generator to the mains (sock-
et).
The power lines to the consumer must be kept as short
as possible.
Environmental protection
Take any contaminated maintenance material and op-
erating materials to a collection point designated for
this purpose. Recycle packaging material, metal and
plastic.
Earthing
Earthing the housing is necessary to discharge stat-
ic charging. To do this, connect a cable to the earth
connection of the generator (12) on one side and to an
external earth (e.g. earthing rod) on the other side.

Start up

Starting the engine
• Check whether the mechanical power selection
switch: (a) is engaged in the correct position.
• Important! The power selection switch is set at
the factory and may not be changed.
• Set the on/off switch (7) to the "ON" position using
the key and turn to "Start" afterwards.
• When the engine is running, turn the on/off switch
back to the "ON" position.
• If the engine does not start up immediately (espe-
cially after the tank was previously empty or after
changing the diesel filter), repeat the start process.
