from overheating (5 min).
5. Before starting the equipment
5.1 Assembly
•
Assemble the foot, wheels and push bar as
shown in Figures 6-9.
•
Assemble all parts before filling in fuel and oil
in order to prevent the fluids from leaking out.
•
To mount the wheels, first slide the axle
through the mountings on the bottom of the
generator and fit the wheels as shown on Fi-
gure 7. Make sure that the sides of the wheels
with the more protruding wheel hubs are fa-
cing towards the generator, as the wheels will
otherwise drag against the frame.

5.2 Electrical safety:

•
Electric supply cables and connected equip-
ment must be in perfect condition.
•
The generator is to be operated only with
•
equipment whose voltage specifications con-
form with the generator's output voltage.
•
Never connect the generator to the power
supply (socket-outlet).
•
Keep the cable length to the consumer as
short as possible.

5.3 Environmental protection

•
Dispose of soiled maintenance material and
•
operating materials at the appropriate collec-
tion point.
•
Recycle packaging material, metal and plas-
tics.

5.4 Connecting to earth

The housing is allowed to be connected to earth
in order to discharge static electricity. To do this,
connect one end of a cable to the earth connec-
tion on the generator (Fig. 4) and the other end to
an external earth (for example an earthing rod).

6. Operation
Important! You must fi ll up with engine oil
(approx. 1.1 l) and fuel before you can start the
engine.
•
Check the fuel level and top it up if necessary
•
Make sure that the generator has sufficient
ventilation
•
Make sure that the ignition cable is secured to
the spark plug
•
Inspect the immediate vicinity of the gene-
rator
•
Disconnect any electrical equipment which
may already be connected to the generator

6.1 Starting the engine

•
Open the petrol cock (13) by turning it down
•
Move the ON/OFF switch (10) to position
„ON" with the key.
•
Move the choke lever (11) to position IØI.
•
Start the engine with the reversing starter (12)
by pulling the handle forcefully. If the engine
does not start, pull the handle again.
•
Push the choke lever (11) back again after
the engine has started.
Important!
When starting with the reserve starter, the motor
may recoil suddenly as it starts up, resulting in
hand injuries. Wear protective gloves when star-
ting the equipment.

6.2 Connecting consumers to the generator

•
Connect the equipment you want to use to
the 230 V~sockets (3)
Important: These sockets may be loaded con-
tinuously (S1) with 3500W and temporarily
(S2) for a maximum of 5 minutes with 3800W.
•
Set the selector switch (Fig. 3/Item 27) to the
right to activate the 400V 3~ socket. Impor-
tant: This socket may be loaded continuously
(S1) with 3600 W and temporarily for a maxi-
mum of 5 minutes with 4800 W (S2).
•
The generator is suitable for 230 V~ AC ap-
pliances.
•
Do not connect the generator to the domestic
power network as this may result in damage
to the generator itself or to other electrical
appliances in your home.
Note: Some electrical appliances (power jigsaws,
drills, etc.) may have a higher level of power con-
sumption when used in diffi cult conditions.
