Initial Operation - Scheppach 5906220903 Original Bedienungsanleitung

• Never refuel the engine in a building where the petrol
vapour may come into contact with flames or sparks.
• Do not smoke whilst refuelling or in the area in
which the petrol is stored and prevent naked
flames or sparks under these circumstances.
• After refuelling, ensure that the tank cover is
closed correctly and securely again. Take care!
• Mop up spilled petrol immediately.
• If petrol is spilled, ensure that the area is dried
before starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or long contact of the fuel with the
skin and avoid breathing in the fumes.
• Keep the fuel out of the reach of children.
• If there are occasional taps or knocks from the
engine, you should use a different brand of petrol.
If this does not solve the problem, contact an au-
thorised dealer.
WARNING: Operating the engine with continu-
ous ignition tapping or knocking can result in
damage to the engine. Operating the engine with
continuous ignition tapping or knocking is con-
sidered improper use. The manufacturer is not
responsible for the resulting damages; the user
solely bears the risk.

9. Initial operation

Earthing the generator
The power unit is equipped with an earth that con-
nects the frame structure of the unit to the earth con-
nections in the a.c. sockets. The earth is not con-
nected to the a.c. neutral cables. If the power unit
is tested with a phasing tester, it does not have the
same ground loop as a normal household appliance.
To protect against electric shock, ensure that the
generator is earthed. Connect the generator and the
external earth source, e.g. a water pipe that is driven
into the earth or a copper pipe that is driven into the
earth, with a thick wire.
WARNING: Do not use any pipes that carry in-
flammable substances as an earth source.
Start the engine (Fig. 1 + 2)
NOTE: Do not connect the electrical device be-
fore starting the engine.
1 Turn the fuel valve (16) to ON.
When the engine is cold:
Turn the choke lever (18) to the CLOSED position.
When the engine is warm:
Turn the choke lever to OPEN
Set the manual choke lever to OPEN.
2 Turn the engine switch (12) to the ON position.
3 Pull the recoil starter slowly until resistance is
noticeable. Then pull hard.

4 Return the choke lever to the OPEN position
while the engine warms up.
WARNING: Ensure that you do not injure your
fingers. If the motor does not start and a piston
was not raised completely, the starter grip may
suddenly spring back to the engine. Avoid the
starter grip springing back against the engine.
Feed it back slowly by hand to ensure that the
cover is not damaged.
Shut the engine off
1 Switch the generator off
2 Set the engine switch to off
3 Turn the fuel valve to off
In an emergency, set the engine switch to off
Electrical devices that can be connected
This power unit can power light bulbs, heaters, drills,
water pumps, etc. Do not exceed the load limit spec-
ified for the power unit.
The power unit may not be used to power devic-
es that have a high power requirement.
The power unit cannot be used for precision devices
such as computers. These precision devices may be
damaged by distortions caused by the broad wave
when the power unit's power is output.
Do not connect the power unit to the electrical instal-
lation of a building.
WARNING: Connection to the electrical installation
of a building may result in the electric current being
returned to the mains supply wires.
This return causes a risk of a fatal electric shock for
employees of the electricity supplier or other persons
who touch the wires during a power failure. Connec-
tion to the electrical installation of a building can also
cause the electric current of the electricity supplier
to return to the power unit. When the mains supply is
restored, the power unit may explode, burn or cause
a fire to break out in the electrical installation of the
building.
Circuit breaker (8)
The fuse will automatically break the generator with
a short circuit or in the case of a significant overload
of the generator at the power outlet. Is the fuse au-
tomatically jumped out into position off check
that the connected electrical appliance is in perfect
condition and does not exceed the load limit of the
circuit before you push the fuse.
