for the first 50 operating hours (run-in phase).

By doing this you can prolong the service life of the generator and
optimise its output:

Basic notes on operation
CAUTION! Beware of injury
!
Do not insert your fingers or objects into the air nozzles or the in-
take grille.
Please note the following basic information:
Always check the oil level before use ("Checking the oil level" on
page 44).
TEC29LPG only: Check there are no leaks from the gas supply using a
leak detection spray before every use.
Even small overloads in the long-run will cause the thermo switch
(TEC29) or the fuses (TEC29LPG) to trigger.
Leave the generator running for a few minutes after use without any con-
sumers before stopping it.
Abrupt braking, accelerating and driving round bends in the vehicle can
cause problems in the generator's pump system and lead to unwanted
shutdown.
If you are not using your generator for a longer period of time, start it up
at least every 30 days and leave it running for 15 minutes or more.
