OPERATION

This power unit is designed exclusively for operating electric devices whose max. Performance within the performance specifications of the generator. A higher starting current of inductive loads must be considered.
NOTICE
Too low an oil level will damage the engine and shorten the life of the machine. Therefore, check the engine oil level before every start and top up the engine oil if

To check the engine oil level, place the machine on a safe, level surface. Switch off the engine and allow the machine to stand for ten minutes so that the circulating oil can collect in the oil pan.
Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth or a non-fibrous paper towel.
Push the dipstick into the opening, but do not screw it in. (Make sure that the dipstick has really been pushed in completely).
Pull out the oil dipstick again and read off the oil level. There are two markings for this – see illustration on the left.
If the oil level is low, refill the recommended oil up to the upper edge
Push in the oil dipstick again and tighten.

To operate the generator, use engine oil that meets the following requirements:

suitable for diesel engines
0W30 or 15W40
with classification CF/ CH-4/ or CI-4

For year-round operation, engine oil with SAE viscosity level 15W-40 is recommended.

NOTICE

Screw on the tank cap (sits on the fuel tank).
Level check in the form of a visual inspection or via display. If necessary, top up with diesel fuel with the appropriate standard EN 590.
Close the fuel filler cap tightly after refuelling.

Check the air filter
Check the core of the air filter, ensuring that it is clean and performs well.

Loosen the screw on the cover of the filter, and then dismantle the cover to check the filter.
Please clean or change the filter if necessary.

NOTICE

Do not run the engine without the air filter, or else filth will enter the engine through carburetor, resulting in quick wear and tear of the engine.
If the power output drops or the colour of the exhaust gases does not lock normal, renew the air filter immediately.

Grounding
Before starting up the machine, have it grounded by a qualified electrician! If the machine is intended for mobile operation, get a grounding cable with sufficient cross section from your electrical retailer.

First use
Make sure to treat the machine with care, when using it for the first time. After starting, let the motor run for 5 minutes without connecting the generator with consumer load.
Following points should be checked in the first 5 minutes:

Is the sound of the generator normal?
Are the vibrations not to strong?
Exhaust gases should not look black or white.
Is oil pilot light showing?

If these points meet the demands, the generator can be used further. Otherwise stop the generator and find the cause of the problem.

Operation
Starting the engine:

Open fuel tap.
Set the speed control to position „RUN“.
Electronic starter:
- Set ignition key to position “ON”. After waiting 1-2 seconds, turn the ignition key to position “Start”.
- Release ignition key as soon as the engine has started.
- If the engine does not start within ten seconds, stop the starting process.
- Wait at least 30 seconds, before attempting a new start.
Recoil starter:
- Pull the rope hard and fast.
- Pull the rope all the way out.
- Use two hands if necessary

Possible reasons for starting difficulties:

Cold weather – if necessary, use starter-spray in the intake nozzle.
Low battery, low acidity level – contact a qualified person or, with appropriate experience, refill distilled water yourself.
Low oil (refill oil)
Air in fuel-pipeline.

NOTICE

Disconnect all electronic equipment from the generator before switching off the engine.
Allow the device to continue running for approx. five minutes (5 min) after a long period of use. This helps the motor to cool down.

If the voltage (see voltmeter) is too high or too low, adjust the speed level. If a problem occurs, stop the generator and take care of the problem. At the DC-module (12V), a maximum amount of 8.3 A current is possible.

MAINTENANCE

The machine is low-maintenance. It contains only a few parts, which have to be maintained regularly by the operator. Malfunctions or defects that could impair the safety of the machine must be repaired immediately.

Maintenance-chart
Please maintain the generator in specified months or hours whatever comes first.

| Before any use| After 1. month or

after first 20 operating hours

| After 3 month or

every 100 operating hours

| After 6 month or

every 500 operating hours

---|---|---|---|---
Check tank, refuel if necessary| О| | |
Check engine oil level,

refill if necessary

If used in dirty places, the generator should be maintained more regularly.
If the user does not have the right tool, or has too little knowledge, maintenance should be performed by a qualified person.

Engine oil change

NOTICE
Changing the oil is easier when the engine is still warm.

Remove the oil outlet screw.
Drain the dirty oil into a suitable container.
Fix the oil outlet screw again.
Fill in new engine oil
Check the engine oil level with the dipstick
If the level is correct reinsert the dipstick

Transport / Storage
In order to avoid the generator leaking oil during transport or temporary storage, make sure to switch off the generator, keeping it at a standing pose under normal operations. After the engine is totally cooled, turn the ventilating pole of the fuel-filling lid to the “OFF” position thoroughly.

When transporting the generator:

Do not let the fuel spill out of the fuel tank. (The top of the fuel-filling tank should have no fuel.)
When the generator is placed on a vehicle, do not run the engine. You should take the generator down from the car before operation.
When you take the generator to the car, avoid exposing it to sunshine. If it is put in sealed carriage for a long time, the high temperature of the carriage may cause the fuel to boiling away, thus leads to burn. Before the generator is put into a long-time storage, you should:Make sure the storage area is clean and dry.

Disposal
Do not dispose of the machine in residual waste. Contact your local authorities for information regarding the available disposal options. When you buy at your local dealer for a replacement unit, the latter is obliged to exchange your old.
