Refuelling

1. Read the fuel level indicator.
2. Refill the fuel tank with the tank indicator shows a

low filling level.

3. Unscrew the fuel tank cap.
4. Fill fuel up a maximum of the lower edge of the filling

nozzle.

5. Fit the fuel tank cap and screw tight.

Operation

Starting the device

1. Open the fuel cock.
2. Push the choke lever to the left if the engine is cold.
3. Turn the key-operated switch to the START position

and hold in this position until the engine starts. Hold
the key-operated switch in the START position for
no longer than 5 seconds. Wait for at least
10 seconds before attempting to start again.

4. Allow the key-operated switch to return to the 1/ON

position when the engine has started.

5. Push the choke lever to the right once the engine

has started.

Starting with the pull cord starter

1. Open the fuel cock.
2. Push the choke lever to the left if the engine is cold.
3. Pull the starter cord slowly until a strong resistance

is discernible then pull strongly.

4. Slowly return the starter cord.

ATTENTION

Risk of damage

A rapidly returning starter cord damages the device.
Slowly return the starter cord.

5. Push the choke lever to the right once the engine

has started.

Connecting AC devices

The power consumption of the electrical device must
not exceed the continuous power rating of the genera-
tor. The maximum power may only be used for brief pe-
riods. Devices with electric motors require several times
the nominal power when starting up.

DANGER

Danger of electric shock

Electricity can flow through the operator and cause
death or injuries if the electrical equipment or cables are
damaged.
A fault current protection device (PRCD Portable Resid-
ual Current Device) must be connected between each
additional device and the generator if more than one de-
vice is plugged into the generator.

1. Start the generator.
2. Set the power switch to 1/ON.
3. Plug the mains plug of the electrical device into the

socket of the generator.

4. A fault current protection device (PRCD Portable

Residual Current Device) must be connected be-
tween each additional device and the generator if
more than one device is plugged into the generator.

5. Start the electrical device.

If the device does not function correctly, e.g. irregu-
lar running or misfires, immediately switch off and
unplug the connected appliances and investigate
the cause.

Charging vehicle batteries

The 12 V DC connection is only suitable for charging 12
V lead-acid automobile batteries. This connection is not
suitable for use as a 12 V power supply for electrical ap-
pliances.
1. Disconnect the vehicle minus cable (black) from the

battery.

2. Connect the plus terminal (red) of the charging ca-

ble to the plus terminal of the battery.

3. Connect the plus terminal (red) of the other end of

the charging cable to the red terminal (+) of the gen-
erator.

4. Connect the minus terminal (black) of the charging

cable to the minus terminal of the battery.

5. Connect the minus terminal (black) of the other end

of the charging cable to the black terminal (-) of the
generator.

6. Start the generator.

ATTENTION

Risk of damage.

The vehicle or generator can be damaged during
charging if the vehicle engine is running while charg-
ing the vehicle battery.
Do not start the vehicle while charging the battery.

Circuit breaker

The circuit breaker button pops out and interrupts
charging if an overload occurs.
1. Wait a few minutes and then press the button in

again.

Disconnect the vehicle battery

1. Shut down the generator.
2. Disconnect the minus pole (black) from the genera-

tor.

3. Disconnect the minus terminal (black) from the bat-

tery.

4. Disconnect the plus pole (red) from the generator.
5. Disconnect the plus terminal (red) from the battery.
6. Connect the vehicle minus cable (black) to the mi-

nus pole of the battery.

Switching off the device

1. Turn the key-operated switch to "0/OFF".
2. Close the fuel cock.

Transport
