Operation Manual

IV - OPERATION
N.B.!
- the generator is transported without oil. If you fail to fill the oil reservoir the generator will
not start.
- Ensure that the generator is completely level when filling up with oil. Tilting could result
in overfilling and damage the engine.
IV-1 – Starting the engine
N.B.!
- Do not connect any electrical equipment before starting the engine
- Switch the Economy switch to the OFF position
a) Open the ventilator knob on the tank cap (See II-
5)
b) Open the fuel cock (See II-6)
c) Switch the engine switch to the ON position
d) Set the choke lever to the position (CHOKE).
The latter is not necessary if the engine is still
hot.
e) Pull the starter cord out slowly until you feel
resistance. That is the ‘point of compression’.
Let the cord run back in to the starting position
and now pull hard. At the same time hold the
generator firmly in position by the handle to
prevent it falling over when pulling. Do not pull the
cord out all the way. After starting let the starter
cord run back to its starting position without
releasing the handle. Repeat if necessary, if the
engine doesn't start the first time.
f) Let the engine run warm
g) Push the choke lever back to its operating position RUN.
h) Allow the generator a few minutes to run warm without a load.
IV-2 – Connecting up electrical equipment
A – AC Alternating current use
i) Check whether the AC indicator light shows that the voltage level is correct
j) Set the Economy switch to the ON position
k) Ensure that all equipment to be connected is switched off prior to connecting
l) Plug the plug(s) from the equipment into the sockets on the generator.
Warning!
 Be sure that the equipment being connected is switched off
 Ensure that the total connected capacity does not exceed the maximum
 Be sure that the required and supplied voltage is the same.
 The Economy switch must be switched off if you use electrical equipment that requires
high peak current, like a compressor or a submersible pump.
