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
consumption when used in dicult conditions.
7.3 Switching O the Engine
- Before you switch o the generator, allow it to
run briey with no consumers so that it can "cool
down”.
- Move the ON/OFF switch (10) to position "O”.
- Close the petrol cock.
7.4 Overload Cut-out for Socket-outlets
Important! The generator is tted with an
overload cut-out.
This shuts down the sockets (3). You can restart
the sockets by pressing the overload cut-out (5).
Important! If this happens, reduce the electric
power you are taking from the generator or
remove any defective connected appliances.
Important! Defective overload cut-outs must be
replaced only by overload cut-outs of identical
design and with the same performance data.
If repairs are necessary, please contact your
customer service center.
