 The generator must not be operated in an environment
that is flammable or has an explosive atmosphere.
 The generator must not be operated at an incline of
more than 10° relative to the horizontal plane, since at
a greater incline the lubrication system is insufficient
and this leads to serious damage to the engine.
 If this incline of the generator is exceeded, fuel may
leak out of the fuel tank.
3. Use a funnel to pour SAE 15W40 or SAE 15W30
motor oil into the engine's crankcase or SAE
(fig. 8) (approx. 1.2 L of oil). Check the oil level
using the gauge located on the generator as
shown in fig. 4, position 5. Minimum required
oil level and maximum oil level on the gauge is
shown in fig. 9.

WARNING
y When handling oil, use suitable water-resistant protecti-
ve gloves because oil is absorbed through the skin and
is damaging to health.
•
ATTENTION
y In the event that there is no oil in the oil tank, the oil
sensor will prevent the generator from starting as prote-
ction against damaging the engine.
 Use quality motor oils intended for lubricating four-
-stroke air-cooled petrol/diesel engines, e.g. Shell
Helix HX7 15W-40, Castrol GTX 15 W40 or their
equivalents, with an SAE 15W40 viscosity class, or class
SAE 15W30 based on ambient temperature according
to fig.10. Oils with an SAE 15W40 viscosity class ensure
good lubrication properties at the temperatures in our
climatic conditions (in temperature range of -20°C to
+40°C). Motor oil can be purchased at fuel stations.
Only quality motor oil may be used in the generator.
Using other types of oils, e.g. food-grade oil or pneu-
matic tool oil, or used automotive oil, etc. is forbidden.
 Never use oils intended for two-stroke engines in the
generator!
•
WARNING
 When adding or replacing oil, do not mix motor oils of
various SAE classes or oils of the same SAE class from
various manufacturers.
RECOMMENDED SAE MOTOR OIL VISCOSITY
CLASSES BASED ON AMBIENT TEMPERATURES (°C)
 The graph (fig. 10) specifies the motor oil classes for
the given ambient temperature range in the case that
Class SAE 14W40 motor oil is not available.
y Check the oil level on the gauge (dipstick) after screwing
it out of the oil tank.
 Only check the oil level in the oil tank when the gene-
rator is standing on a horizontal level and only after an
extended period of time after the engine is turned off
(at least 15 minutes). If you perform the oil check too
113
soon after turning off the generator, not all the oil will
have flowed down the walls of the crankcase and the
oil level reading will not be reliable.
4. Check the condition air filter.
 Check the condition of the air filter and whether it is
clogged before putting the generator into operati-
on. A clogged air filter or operation of the generator
without the air filter will result in damage to the car-
burettor and the engine. A clogged air filter prevents
the supply of a sufficient amount of combustion air to
the engine and leads to the carbonisation of the engi-
ne, spark plug and exhaust pipe. Never operate the
generator without the air filter as this would result in
damage to the engine.
1) To access the air filter cover, remove the metal cover
on the surface of the generator, as shown in fig. 11A.
Grasp the cover by the side handles and lift it off the
generator to remove it (fig. 11A) - the cover is not scre-
wed on.
2) Screw off the air filter lock nuts and slide the cover off
in the horizontal direction towards yourself (step 1 and
2, fig. 11B).
3) Slide the air filter out in the horizontal direction
towards yourself (see fig. 11C).
Clean the filter after every 50 motor hours of opera-
tion (see motor hours counter, fig. 1, position 1) or in
the case of operation in a dusty environment after
every 10 motor hours or more frequently. In the
event that the filter is clogged, vacuum from both
sides using a vacuum cleaner or blow it out using
pressurised air from a compressor. Prevent the air
filter from coming into contact with water. In the
event of damage or substantial clogging, replace
with a new original one (part no.: 8896431B).
4) To insert the filter proceed in reverse sequence. In
order for the filter to be effective, it must be correctly
seated and must be completely in contact with the
wall of the contacting part. Check that the filter is cor-
rectly seated. Then put the plastic cover back on and
secure it in place by firmly tightening both nuts.
5. Through the strainer in the petrol tank fil-
ling opening, pour clean lead-free car petrol
without oil.
 Always pour fuel into the tank through the strainer
that is inserted in the fuel tank opening.
This will remove any potential mechanical particles
contained in the petrol, which could block the fuel
pump and clog the carburettor.
y Prior to starting the generator, make sure that the
fuel filter (fig. 2, position 1) is seated on the hose
before the fuel pump. If not, do not use the genera-
tor and order the filter (part no. 8896431F), otherwi-
se the fuel pump may be damaged by the impurities
contained in the petrol.
