Operation - Scheppach SG3500i Original Bedienungsanleitung

8. If the oil level is too low, add the recommended
amount of oil (max. 400 ml).
9. Then screw the oil dipstick (20) in again.
10. Put the engine cover (3) on and fix in place by
retightening the two screws.
8.3 Refill with fuel
m Attention!
The power generator is delivered without petrol. It
is therefore essential to fill with petrol before com-
missioning. Use Super E10 petrol for this.
1. Unscrew the tank filler cap (2) and fill a maximum
of 6.3 l Super E10 petrol into the tank container
using the funnel (17).
2. Ensure that the tank is not overfilled (observe the
fill level marking (26)!) and that no petrol is spilled.
Use a fuel filter insert (25). Clean up spilled petrol
immediately and wait until the fuel vapours have
evaporated (wipe dry).
3. Close the tank cover (2).
m ATTENTION!
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine
stopped.
If the engine was in operation 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.
Petrol is highly inflammable and explosive. When
handling fuels, you may suffer burns or other se-
vere injuries.

Operation

m Attention!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before commissioning!
9.1 Starting the engine (Fig. 5 + 6)
m Attention! Danger of poisoning!
Only use the device outdoors and never in closed or
poorly ventilated rooms.
1. Set the ventilation on the tank cover (2) to "ON".
2. Set the on/off switch (11) to the "RUN" position.
Note: The energy saving switch (10) must be set to
"OFF".
When the engine is cold
1. Attention! Never allow the pull starter (5) to whip
back. This can result in damage.
2. Set the on/off switch (11) to the "CHOKE" position.
3. Now pull the pull starter (5) and the engine should
start. If the engine does not start, repeat the pro-
cess.
4. Move the on/off switch (11) from the "CHOKE" po-
sition to the "RUN" position after starting the en-
gine (after approx. 15-30 seconds). (Fig. 6)
5. If the engine does not start even after several at-
tempts, read the "Troubleshooting" chapter.
Note:
If the engine is being started for the first time, several
tries are required to start until the fuel has been deliv-
ered from the tank to the engine.
Note: With high outside temperatures, it may be nec-
essary to start the power generator without the choke
even when the engine is cold!
When the engine is warm
1. Set the on/off switch (11) to the "RUN" position.
2. Now pull the pull starter (5) quickly. The device
should start after a maximum of 2 pulls. If the
device has still not started, repeat the procedure
described under "Starting the engine when cold".
9.2 Shutting the engine off
Allow the power generator to run for a short time (ap-
prox. 30 seconds) without load before switching it off so
that it can "cool down".
1. Set the on/off switch (11) to the "OFF" position.
2. Disconnect the power consumers from the device.
3. Set the ventilation on the tank cover (2) to "OFF".
9.3 Operating display (6) (Fig. 3)
The operating display (6) is active when the engine is
running.
9.4 Overload indicator (7) (Fig. 3)
The overload protection becomes active if the power
consumption is too high and switches off the 230 V ~
sockets (13).
1. Switch the device off as described in section 9.2.
2. Disconnect the power consumers from the device.
