Step 5: When motor starts, move choke lever to 1/2-
CHOKE position till motor runs smoothly and
then fully into ON position. If motor flalters,
move choke back to 1/2- CHOKE position till
motor running smoothly and then fully into ON
position again.
8.3 Operation
The motor is equipped with a low oil level sensor that
shuts down the motor automatically when the oil level
drops below a specified level. If the motor shuts down by
itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline, check motor
oil level.
Step 1: Let the engine warm up stably for a few minutes
after starting.
Step 2: Add up the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to
be connected at one time. This total should not
be greater than the rated wattage/amperage ca-
pacity of the generator or circuit breaker rating of
the receptacle supplying the power.
Step 3: Plug in the electrical consumer(s). The consu-
mers must be switched off.
Step 4: Switch on the electrical consumer(s).
8.4 Switching off the generator
Step 1: Disconnect or interrupt all electricity consumers
supplied by the generator.
Step 2: Disconnect the mains plug(s) of the electrical
consumer(s) from the generator.
Step 3: Let the motor run unloaded for 2-3 minutes and
then switch off directly on the motor by actuating
the switch-off device. This guarantees good coo-
ling.
For generators with electric start, set the starter
switch to "OFF".
Step 4: Close the fuel tap.
ATTENTION!
If motor fails to start after 3 pulls, or if unit shut down
during operation, make sure unit is on a level sur-
face and check for proper oil level in crankcase
(Low oil shut-off).
ATTENTION!
- Do not connect electricity consumers to the genera-
tor whose electrical characteristics are unknown or
whose characteristics differ from those of the gene-
rator (e.g. different voltages and/or frequencies).
- The generator electric circuit is protected by a cir-
cuit breaker: Any overloads and/or short circuits will
interrupt the circuit. To reactivate the circuit, re-
move the excess electricity consumers, determine
the cause of the short-circuit and/or overload and
switch on the switch again.
- Do not place any objects on the frame or directly on
the motor during commissioning of the generator:
any foreign objects could iwith proper operation.
- Do not obstruct the normal vibrations of the alterna-
tor during operation. The silent blocks are dimen-
sioned for proper operation.
ATTENTION!
If the connected consumers overheat, switch them
off and disconnect them from the generator.
ATTENTION!
The generator should be started at least once every
seven days and be allowed to run at least 30 minu-
tes. If this cannot be done and the unit must be sto-
red for more than 30 days, use the following
information as a guide to prepare it for storage.
- Empty the fuel tank, start the generator and let it run
until all fuel is used up and the generator stops.
- Cover the cooled generator and protect it from
moisture.
- See chapter "Storage" for further measures.
ATTENTION!
After the motor has been switched off, it still emits
heat, so sufficient ventilation should be provided
even after the generator has been switched off.
