4. Proper use

The power generator is suitable for devices that are intended to operate on a 230 V AC or 12 V DC voltage source.
With household devices and electronic devices, please check the suitability according to the respective manufacturer’s specifications.

Attention! The power generator must not be connected to the mains supply as a domestic emergency power supply. It can cause damage to the power generator or other electrical devices.

AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation):
The automatic voltage regulation system ensures that the voltage fluctuations of the power generator are within the range guaranteed by the power supply companies and thus do not pose a danger to electronic equipment.
However, one should always check before use whether the consumption is suitable for operation with a power generator. In the case of extremely sensitive electronics, make enquiries with the manufacturer (such as televisions, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) beforehand, as a power generator produces a non-constant sine wave voltage due to the combustion engine.

The machine may only be used in the intended manner. Any use beyond this is improper. The user/operator, not the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or injuries of any type resulting from this.
An element of the intended use is also the observance of the safety instructions, as well as the assembly instructions and operating information in the operating manual.
Persons who operate and maintain the machine must be familiar with it and must be informed about potential dangers.
In addition, the applicable accident prevention regulations must be strictly observed.
Other general occupational health and safety-related rules and regulations must be observed.

The liability of the manufacturer and resulting damages are excluded in the event of modifications of the machine.
Please note that our equipment was not designed with the intention of use for commercial or industrial purposes. We assume no guarantee if the device is used in commercial or industrial applications, or for equivalent work.

5. Safety instructions

We have marked points in the operating manual that impact your safety with this symbol:

Furthermore, the operating manual contains other important text sections that are marked with the word “ATTENTION!”.

Attention!
When using equipment, several safety warnings must be observed to prevent injuries and damage. For this reason, please carefully read this operating manual / safety instructions. If you hand the device over to another person, please hand over this operating manual / safety instructions as well. We accept no liability for accidents or damage that occur due to a failure to observe this manual and the safety instructions.

  WARNING
A failure to observe these instructions poses a danger of death or the risk of serious injuries.

  CAUTION
A failure to observe these instructions poses a minor to moderate danger of injury.

NOTE!
A failure to observe these instructions poses a risk of damage to the engine or other property.

1. It is prohibited to make any modifications to the power generator.
2. The manufacturer’s preset speed must not be changed. Power generators or connected devices may be damaged.
3. Danger of poisoning! Exhaust gases, fuel and lubricants are poisonous, exhaust gases may not be inhaled.
4. Fire risk! Petrol and fuel vapours are highly flammable or explosive.
5. Engine exhaust gases are toxic. The power generator must not be operated in unventilated rooms. If the power generator is to be operated in well- ventilated rooms, the exhaust gases must be discharged directly outside via an exhaust gas hose. Additional requirements for protection against fire and explosion must also be observed. Toxic exhaust gases can also escape when operating an exhaust hose. Because of the risk of fire, the exhaust hose must never be directed at flammable materials.
6. Never operate the power generator in rooms with highly flammable substances.
7. Hot surfaces! Danger of burns, do not touch exhaust system and drive unit.
8. Do not touch any mechanically moving or hot parts. Do not remove any protective covers.

23. Some parts of the reciprocating internal combustion engine are hot and may cause burns. The warnings on the power generator must be observed.
24. Values specified in the technical data under sound power level (LWA) and sound pressure level (LpA) represent emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. Since there is a correlation between emission and exposure levels, it cannot be reliably used to determine any additional precautionary measures that may be required. Factors influencing the current exposure level of the worker include the characteristics of the workspace, other noise sources, airborne noise, etc., such as the number of power generators and other adjacent processes and the length of time an operator is exposed to the noise. The permitted exposure level may also vary from country to country. Nevertheless, this information will enable the operator of the power generator to make a better assessment of the risks and hazards. If necessary, acoustical measurements should be taken after installation to determine the sound pressure level.
25. Warning! Comply with the electrical safety regulations applicable to the place where the power generators are used.
26. Warning! Consider the requirements and precautionary measures in case of re-supply of a system by power generators depending on the protective measures of this system and the applicable directives.
27. Power generators should only be used up to their rated power under the rated ambient conditions. If the power generator is used in conditions that do not comply with the reference conditions according to ISO 8528-8:2016, 7.1, and if the cooling of the engine or power generator is impaired, e.g. as a result of operation in restricted areas, a reduction in power is required.
28. Due to high mechanical loads, only durable rubber hose lines (per IEC 60245-4) or equivalent equipment should be used.
29. Observe the electrical safety regulations applicable to the place where the power generator is used.
30. Consider the requirements and precautionary measures in case of re-supply of a system by power generators depending on the protective measures of this system and the applicable directives.

Electrical safety

1. Prior to use, the generator and its electrical equipment (including lines and plug connectors) should be checked to ensure that there are no defects.
2. The power generating unit must not be connected to another power source such as the power supply of energy supply companies. In special cases where a reserve connection to existing electrical systems is provided, this must only be carried out by a qualified electrician who will take into account the differences between the operated equipment using the public mains and operation of the power generating unit. According to this part of ISO 8528, the differences in the operating manual must be specified.
3. Protection against electric shocks depends on the circuit breakers which are matched precisely to the power generating unit. If a circuit breaker must be replaced, this should be done using a circuit breaker with the same rating and performance characteristics.

ATTENTION: Use only E10 unleaded petrol as fuel.

Use of petrol
Danger to life! Petrol is toxic and highly flammable.

• Only store petrol in containers (canisters) designed and tested for this purpose. The fuel tank caps must always be properly screwed on and tightened. Defective caps must be replaced for safety reasons.

• Keep petrol away from sparks, open flames, permanent flames, heat sources and other sources of ignition. Do not smoke!

• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling.

• Before refuelling, switch off the combustion engine and let it cool down.

• Petrol must be filled before starting the combustion engine. While the combustion engine is running or if the device is hot, the fuel tank must not be opened and petrol must not be filled.

• Open the fuel filler cap carefully and slowly. Wait for the pressure to equalise and only then remove the fuel filler cap completely.

• Use a suitable funnel or filler pipe for refuelling so that no fuel can spill onto the combustion engine and housing or lawn.
  Do not overfill the fuel tank!

• To leave room for the fuel to expand, never fill the fuel tank beyond the lower edge of the filling nozzle. Observe additional information in the combustion engine user manual.

• If petrol has overflowed, do not start the combustion engine until the petrol-contaminated area has been cleaned. Avoid starting the engine until the fuel vapours have evaporated (wipe dry).

• Always wipe up spilled fuel immediately.

• If petrol has got on clothing, it must be changed.

• The tank cover must be properly screwed on and tightened after each refuelling operation. The device must not be put into operation without the original tank cover screwed on.

• For safety reasons, check the fuel line, fuel tank, fuel filler cap and connections regularly for damage, ageing (brittleness), tight fit and leaks, and replace if necessary.

• Only empty the fuel tank outdoors.

• Never use beverage bottles or similar to dispose of or store operating materials, such as fuel. People, especially children, could be tempted to drink from it.

• Never store the device with petrol in the fuel tank inside a building. Any fuel vapours produced can come into contact with naked flames or sparks and ignite.

• Do not place the device and fuel tank near heaters, radiant heaters, welding machines or other sources of heat.

Risk of explosion!

If a defect is detected on the fuel tank, the fuel filler cap or on fuel- carrying parts (fuel lines) during operation, the combustion engine must be switched off immediately. Then consult a specialist dealer.

Residual risks
The device is state-of-the-art and has been built in accordance with the recognised technical safety rules. However, individual residual risks can arise during operation.

• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met, some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the “Safety Instructions” and the “Intended Use” together with the operating manual as a whole are observed.
• Avoid accidental start-ups of the power generator.
• Use the device in the way that is recommended in this operating manual. This is how to ensure that your power generator provides optimum performance.

• Used batteries or rechargeable batteries that are not installed permanently in the old appliance must be removed non-destructively before disposal! Their disposal is regulated by the battery act.

• Owners or users of electrical and electronic devices are legally obliged to return them after use.

• The end user is responsible for deleting their personal data from the old device being disposed of!

  – Up to three waste electrical devices per type of device, with an edge length of no more than 25 centimetres, can be returned free of charge to the manufacturer without prior purchase of a new device from the manufacturer or taken to another authorised collection point in your vicinity.
  – For additional takeback conditions of the manufacturers and distributors, please contact the respective customer service.

• In the case of delivery of a new electrical device by the manufacturer to a private household, the latter may arrange for the free collection of the old electrical device upon request from the end-user. Get in contact with the manufacturer’s customer service.
