• Do not inhale fumes from petrol.
Electricity
• Do not touch the generator if you have wet hands
• Do not operate the generator in wet conditions.
• Do not operate the generator near water.
• Never connect two generators together.
• Never connect the generator to any commercial
power outlet.
• Make sure any extension cords used are in a safe
condition and of sufficient capacity for the task.
• Ensure that the load on the generator falls within its
capacity as specified in the table before plugging in any
cords.
Fire and burn hazards
• The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some
materials:
- keep the generator at least 1 meter away from
buildings and other equipment during operation.
- keep flammable materials away from the generator.
• The exhaust becomes very hot during operations
and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine:
- Let the engine cool before storing the generator
indoors.
- Do not touch the hot exhaust with your hands.
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow
flames or sparks where the generator is refueled or
where gasoline is stored.
• Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite
after the engine has started. Make sure that any
spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the
generator.
• Never shade the generator with clothes or other
articles.
3. USE
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
Fill and check oil level (quantity is 0,6 L)
• Always check the oil level (with machine in a level
position) before starting and if the engine
unexpectedly stops (fig. 2).
• The generator has a low oil sensor and may cut out or
fail to start if the oil level is too low. Stop the engine
immediately when the oil warning light (4) is on.
For general use you can use an “all temperature” oil
10W-40
≤ 0ºC SAE#10
0ºC - 25 ºC SAE#20
25ºC - 35 ºC SAE#30
≥ 35ºC SAE#40
Fill and check fuel level
• Use unleaded fuel only
• Remove any power cords
• Turn power switches off
• Do not overfill – leave air gap at top of fuel level
• Always screw down fuel cap
• Clean up any spilled fuel
• Do not smoke while operating the generator
Always use caution!
Exhaust
To reduce the risk of sparks flying up out of the exhaust
pipe (fire hazard), you can mount the enclosed stainless
filter (Fig.5).
• Place the filter when the engine is “OFF” and has
cooled down.
• Place the stainless filter at the end of the exhaust pipe.
It will fit just behind the edge.
Advice:do not place the filter in normal (outdoor) use.
Starting the generator
Fig. 1 and Fig. 4
1. Turn on fuel tap (17).
2. Turn on engine switch (4).
3. Move choke lever (15) to closed position (to restart a
warm engine, leave the choke lever in open or half-
open position).
4. Pull slowly on the starter cord until it engages, then
pull sharply to start the engine (16).
5. Allow the engine to run until it warms up, and then
move the choke lever to the open position (15).
6. Plug in the power cord and switch the AC-switch to
“ON” (6).
Stopping the generator
Fig. 1
1. Turn AC-switch to “OFF” (6)
2. Unplug all cords (11)
3. Turn engine switch to “OFF” (4)
4. Turn off fuel tap (17)
