sockets (3/4) by pressing the overload cut-out (7).
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.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and storage
Switch off the motor and pull the spark plug boot
from the spark plug before doing any cleaning and
maintenance work on the equipment.
Important: Switch off the machine immediately and
contact your service station:
- In the event of unusual vibrations or noise.
- If the engine appears to be overloaded or misfires.
8.1 Cleaning
- Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the
equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed
air at low pressure.
- We recommend that you clean the device immediately
each time you have finished using it.
- Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents;
these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment.
Ensure that no water can seep into the device.
8.2 Air filter (Fig. 10-11)
In this connection, please also read the service
information.
- Clean the air filter at regular intervals, and replace it if
necessary.
- Open both clips and remove the air filter cover (Fig 10).
- Remove the filter elements (Fig. 11).
- Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or petrol to clean
the elements.
- Clean the elements by tapping them on a flat surface.
In cases of stubborn dirt first clean with soapy water, and
then rinse with clear water and air dry.
- Assemble in reverse order.
8.3. Spark plug (Fig. 12)
Check the spark plug (item 27) for dirt and grime after 20
hours of operation and if necessary clean with a copper
wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after every
50 hours of operation.
- Pull off the spark plug boot with a twist.
- Remove the spark plug with the supplied spark plug
wrench.
- Assemble in reverse order.
8.4 Changing the oil and checking the oil level
(before using the machine) (Fig. 9)
The motor oil is best changed when the motor is at
working temperature.
- Only use motor oil (15W40/<0
o
C: 5W30).
- Place the generator on a slightly inclined surface so
that the oil drain plug is at the lower end.
- Open the oil filler plug (10).
- Open the oil drain plug (9) and let the hot engine oil
drain out into a drip tray.
- After the old oil has drained out, close the oil drain plug
and place the generator on a level surface again.
- Fill in engine oil up to the top mark on the oil dip stick.
- Important: Do not screw the dipstick in to check the oil
level, simply insert it up to the thread.
- Dispose of the waste oil properly.
8.5 Oil shortage cut-out
The oil shortage cut-out (11) responds if there is too little
oil in the engine. In this case it will not be possible to
start the engine or it will cut out automatically after a
short period of time. It cannot be started again until the
engine oil has been topped up (see point 8.4).
9. Disposal and recycling
The unit is supplied in packaging to prevent its being
damaged in transit. This packaging is raw material and
can therefore be reused or can be returned to the raw
material system.
The unit and its accessories are made of various types
of material, such as metal and plastic. Defective
components must be disposed of as special waste. Ask
your dealer or your local council.
