8.1 Earthing (Fig. 3)
m Attention! Electric shock!
• Do not use bare wires for earthing.
• Power generator must be safely earthed.
Earthing  the housing is necessary to discharge  static 
charging. To do this, connect a cable on one side to 
the earth terminal (16) of the power generator and on 
the other side to an external mass rising pipe (e.g. rod 
earth).
m AT TENTION!
Check before operation
• Check all sides of the engine for oil or fuel leaks.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the fuel level – Fill with at least 2 litres of Su-
per E10 petrol.
• Check the condition of the air ¿lter.
• Check the condition of the fuel lines.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check that all protective covers are in place and all 
sc rews are tightened.
• Ensure that the device is suciently ventilated. 
• Make sure that the spark plug connector is attached 
to the spark plug (23).
• Disconnect  any  connected  electrical  devices  from 
the power generator.
8.2 Top up oil (Fig. 7 + 8)
m Attention!
The power generator is delivered without engine 
oil. Therefore, ensure that you add oil before start-
ing it up. Use 15W40 oil here.
Check the oil level regularly before commissioning. An 
oil level that is too low can damage the engine.
1. Place the power generator on a level, even sur-
face.
2. Remove  the  engine  cover  (3)  by  unscrewing  the 
two screws with a Phillips screwdriver (not includ-
ed in the scope of delivery).
3. Unscrew the oil dipstick (20).
4. Fill  the  tank  with  engine  oil  using  a  funnel  (17). 
Note the max. ¿lling capacity of 400 ml. Carefully 
¿ll the oil up to the lower edge of the ¿lling port.
5. Wipe the oil dipstick (20) with a clean, lint-free 
cloth.
6. Re-insert the oil dipstick (20) and check the oil lev-
el without screwing the dipstick tight again.
7. The oil level must be within the middle mark on 
the oil dipstick.
8. Before commissioning
Electrical safety
Prior to use, the power generator and its electrical 
equipment (including lines and plug connectors) should 
be checked to ensure that there are no defects.
Never connect the power generator to the mains (sock-
et).
The power lines to the consumer must be kept as short 
as possible.
m DANGER!
Risk of ¿re and explosion!
When ¿lling, fuel may  ignite and even explode. This 
can lead to severe burns or death.
- Switch o the engine and let it cool down.
- Keep heat, Àames and sparks away.
- Only ¿ll up with fuel outdoors.
- Wear protective gloves.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
- Start the device at a distance of at least 3 m from 
the fuel ¿lling point.
- Watch out for leaks. If petrol is leaking, do not start 
the engine.
m WARNING!
Health hazard!
Inhaling petrol/lubricant vapours may lead to severe 
health damage, loss of consciousness and, in extreme 
cases, to death.
- Do not inhale petrol/lubricant vapours.
- Operate the device outdoors only.
NOTE!
Device damage
Using the device without or with too little engine and 
gearbox oil can result in engine damage.
- Fill  with  petrol  and  oil  before  commissioning.  The 
device is supplied without engine and gearbox oil.
NOTE!
Environmental damage!
Spilled  oil  can  pollute  the  environment  permanently. 
The liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water 
pollution.
- Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces.
- Use a ¿lling nozzle or funnel.
- Collect drained oil in a suitable container.
- Wipe  up  spilled  oil  carefully  immediately  and  dis-
pose of the cloth according to local regulations.
- Dispose of oil as per local regulations.
When the engine is cold
1. Attention! Never allow the pull starter (5) to whip 
back. This can result in damage.
2. Set the on/o switch (11) to the “CHOKE” position.
3. Now pull the pull starter (5) and the engine should 
start. If the engine does not start, repeat the pro-
cess.
4. Move the on/o switch (11) from the “CHOKE” po-
sition to the  “RUN”  position  after  starting the en-
gine (after approx. 15-30 seconds). (Fig. 6)
5. If  the engine does not start even after several at-
tempts, read the “Troubleshooting” chapter. 
Note:
If the engine is being started for the ¿rst time, several 
tries are required to start until the fuel has been deliv-
ered from the tank to the engine.
Note: With high outside temperatures, it may be nec-
essary to start the power generator without the choke 
even when the engine is cold!
When the engine is warm
1. Set the on/o switch (11) to the “RUN” position.
2. Now  pull  the  pull  starter  (5)  quickly. The device 
should start after a maximum of 2 pulls. If the 
device has still not started, repeat the procedure 
described under “Starting the engine when cold”.
9.2 Shutting the engine o
Allow the power generator to run for a short time (ap-
prox. 30 seconds) without load before switching it o so 
that it can “cool down”.
1. Set the on/o switch (11) to the “OFF” position.
2. Disconnect the power consumers from the device.
3. Set the ventilation on the tank cover (2) to “OFF”.
9.3 Operating display (6) (Fig. 3)
The operating display (6) is active when the engine is 
running.
9.4 Overload indicator (7) (Fig. 3)
The overload protection becomes active if the power 
consumption is too high and switches o the 230 V ~ 
sockets (13).
1. Switch the device o as described in section 9.2.
2. Disconnect the power consumers from the device.
8. If the oil level is too low, add the recommended 
amount of oil (max. 400 ml).
9. Then screw the oil dipstick (20) in again.
10. Put  the  engine  cover  (3)  on  and  ¿x  in  place  by 
retightening the two screws.
8.3 Re¿ll with fuel
m Attention!
The power generator is delivered without petrol. It 
is therefore essential to ¿ll with petrol before com-
missioning. Use Super E10 petrol for this.
1. Unscrew the tank ¿ller cap (2) and ¿ll a maximum 
of 6.3 l Super E10 petrol into the tank container 
using the funnel (17).
2. Ensure that the tank is not over¿lled (observe the 
¿ll level marking (26)!) and that no petrol is spilled. 
Use a fuel ¿lter insert (25). Clean up spilled petrol 
immediately  and  wait  until  the  fuel  vapours  have 
evaporated (wipe dry).
3. Close the tank cover (2).
m AT TENTION!
Refuel  in  a  well-ventilated  area  with  the  engine 
stopped.
If the engine was in operation immediately before, 
allow  it  to  cool  ¿rst. Never refuel the engine in a 
building where the petrol vapour may come into 
contact with Àames or sparks.
Petrol is highly inÀammable and explosive. When 
handling  fuels,  you may suer burns or other se-
vere injuries.
9. Operation
m Attention!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled 
before commissioning!
9.1 Starting the engine (Fig. 5 + 6)
m Attention! Danger of poisoning!
Only  use  the  device  outdoors  and  never  in  closed  or 
poorly ventilated rooms.
1. Set the ventilation on the tank cover (2) to “ON”.
2. Set the on/o switch (11) to the “RUN” position.
Note:  The  energy  saving  switch  (10)  must  be  set  to 
“OFF”.
