Before Commissioning - Scheppach SG3500i Original Bedienungsanleitung

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 fire and explosion!
When filling, fuel may ignite and even explode. This
can lead to severe burns or death.
- Switch off the engine and let it cool down.
- Keep heat, flames and sparks away.
- Only fill 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 filling 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 filling 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.

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 ATTENTION!
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 filter.
• Check the condition of the fuel lines.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check that all protective covers are in place and all
screws are tightened.
• Ensure that the device is sufficiently 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. filling capacity of 400 ml. Carefully
fill the oil up to the lower edge of the filling 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.
