Maintenance - Scheppach 5906225901 Originalbetriebsanleitung

• Start the engine with the starter grip (6) by sharply
pulling the handle. If the engine has not started pull
the handle again.
• Push the choke lever (11) back once the engine has
started.
ATTENTION! This socket can be loaded continuously
(S1) with 700 W and short term (S2) for a maximum
of 5 minutes with 800 W. Note: Some electric devices
(sabre saws, drills etc.) can use more electricity when
doing heavy duty tasks.
Storing the engine (Fig. 1)
Before putting away, let the generator run without load
so that the device can „cool down".
• Turn the on / off switch (10) to the „OFF" position.
• Close the petrol tap (9).
Connection to alternating current (AC)
• Allow the generator to run for a few minutes before
connecting electrical devices.
• Do not exceed the load capacity of the generator by
connecting more electrical devices than the device
can handle.
• Do not switch on electrical devices until they are
connected to the generator.
• Switch off all connected electrical devices before
stopping the generator.
Tip: If the generator is connected to several loads or
power consumers, please remember to connect the
one with the highest starting current first. and the one
with the lowest starting current last.
Overload protection (3)
NOTE! This generator is fitted with an overload protec-
tor. This cuts off the 230V socket (7).
• Switch the device off.
• Reduce the total wattage of the connected electrical
devices to the rated power.
• Check the air filter for contamination. If contamina-
tion is detected, remove it. (see air filter)
• Put the device back into operation.
Tip: The overload indicator lamp may initially light up
for a few seconds when using electrical equipment that
requires a high starting current, such as a compressor
or submersible pump. However, this is not a malfunc-
tion.
ATTENTION! Turn the device off immediately and con-
tact your Service Station:
• With unusual vibrations or noises.
• If the engine seems overloaded or has backfired.
Operation display (8)
Power indicator active - when the engine is running.
Oil warning light (12)
Display is active at low oil level and deactivated when
sufficient oil level.
Tip: If the engine stalls or does not start, rotate the fuel
valve to "ON" and then pull the start pull cord.
If the oil warning light flickers for a few seconds, the
engine oil is insufficient. Top up with oil and start again.

Maintenance

Before cleaning and maintenance work, turn off the en-
gine and pull the spark plug connector (15) out of the
spark plug (16).
WARNING! Risk of burning! Wait until the machine has
cooled down before cleaning or servicing it.
WARNING!
Take any contaminated maintenance material and op-
erating materials to a collection point designated for
this purpose.
Cleaning
Keep the safeguards, air vents and the engine housing
as dust and dirt free as possible. Wipe the device with
a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air with low
pressure. We recommend that you clean the device af-
ter every use. Regularly clean the device with a damp
cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning
products or solvents which could attack the plastic part
of the device. Ensure that no water can penetrate the
housing.
Silencer and spark arrester (Fig. 2+7)
The engine and the silencer are very hot after running
the engine. Do not touch the engine and silencer during
inspection or repair while they are still hot.
1. Remove the screws and pull the cover outwards.
2. Loosen the screw and remove the silencer cap
(20), the silencer screen (21) and the spark arrest-
er.
3. Clean the carbon deposits on the silencer and
spark arrester with a wire brush. Use the wire
brush lightly for cleaning to avoid damaging or
scratching the silencer and spark arrester.
4. Check silencer and spark arrester. Replace them if
they are damaged.
