Operating; Cleaning - Parkside PGI 1200 A1 Consignes D'utilisation Et De Sécurité

m Attention!
Dispense of polluted maintenance and operating ma-
terials in a suitable collection point.
Earthing (Fig. 1)
Earthing is needed to disperse static discharge. Con-
nect a cable from one side of the earthing connector
(7) of the generator and from the other side to an ex-
ternal ground.
ATTENTION! When being used for the first time, mo-
tor oil (15 W-40, approx. 0.25 l) and petrol (unleaded
normal petrol) must be put in.
Check the fuel level and the oil, and if necessary top
them up. Make sure you have adequate ventilation.
Ensure that the spark cable is securely in the spark
plug. Unplug any electric device connected to the
generator.
Putting in oil (Fig. 5)
Put the generator with its front side down and un-
screw the oil filler plug (13). Pour in 0.25 litres of en-
gine oil (15 W-40).
Close the oil filler cap (13) and stand the generator
upright
Putting in fuel (Fig. 1/7)
Keep away from ignition sources! Always refuel in
well-ventilated rooms or outside. Open the fuel tank
cap (2) and, using a filler pipe (not included in deliv-
ery), pour in a maximum of 4.2 litres of unleaded fuel
into the fuel container. Ensure the tank level is not
exceeded and no fuel is spilled. Use the fuel filter.
Clean up spilled fuel immediately and wait until the
fuel fumes have evaporated (fire hazard). Close the
fuel tank cap (2).

7. Operating

Start the engine (Fig. 1/3/6)
ATTENTION! When starting with the express start
you can injure your hand with the sudden kick back.
Wear protective gloves when starting.
• Open the petrol tap by turning the tap downwards.
• Put the on / off switch (6) to the on position.
• Turn the choke lever (9) to I I (in the left position).
• Start the engine with the express start (10) by
sharply pulling the handle. If the engine has not
started pull the handle again.
• Push the choke lever (9) back once the engine has
started (in the right position).
• Connect the device to the 230 V~ socket (8).
ATTENTION! This socket can be loaded continuous-
ly (S1) with 1000 W and short term (S2) for a maxi-
mum of 5 seconds with 1200 W.
Note: Some electric devices (sabre saws, drills etc.)
can use more electricity when doing heavy duty tasks.
14 GB/IE
Storing the engine (Fig. 1/6)
Before putting away, let the generator run without
load so that the device can „cool down".
• Turn the on / off switch to the „OFF" position.
• Close the petrol tap.
Overload protection 230 V~ socket
NOTE! This generator is fitted with an overload pro-
tector.
This cuts off the sockets
Green operating bulb
Flashes 1 x per interval Speed too low
Flashes 2 x per interval Temperature too high
Flashes 3 x per interval Overload protection
switches on
Flashes 4 x per interval Short circuit
The socket (8) can be used again after the overload
protection has been triggered once the engine has
been switched off and restarted (See "Turning off en-
gine" and "Starting engine").
ATTENTION! If this happens reduce the amount of
electrical output which you are extracting from the
generator or remove defective devices which are at-
tached.
ATTENTION! Faulty overload switches should only
be replaced with identically constructed overload
switches with the same performance data. Please
use our customer service department.
Cleaning, maintenance, storage, transport and
ordering replacement parts
Before cleaning and maintenance work, turn off the
engine and pull the spark plug connector (15) out of
the spark plug (16).
WARNING! Risk of burning! Wait until the machine
has cooled down before cleaning or servicing it.
ATTENTION! Turn the device off immediately and
contact your Service Station:
• With unusual vibrations or noises.
• If the engine seems overloaded or has backfired.

8. Cleaning

Keep the safeguards, air vents and the engine hous-
ing as dust and dirt free as possible. Wipe the device
with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air with
low pressure. We recommend that you clean the de-
vice after every use. Regularly clean the device with
a damp cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any
cleaning products or solvents which could attack the
plastic part of the device. Ensure that no water can
penetrate the housing.
