deciding on any additional precautions which may
be needed. Factors influencing the actual user
immission level include the properties of the work
area, other sound sources etc., the number of
machines and other processes in the vicinity, as
well as the time span in which the operator is
subjected to the noise. Also, the permitted
immission level can vary from country to country.
Nevertheless, with this information the user is able
to make a better assessment of the dangers and
risks involved.
Important: Use only normal, unleaded petrol as
fuel.

6. Electrical safety:

Electric supply cables and connected equipment
must be in perfect condition.
The generator is to be operated only with
equipment whose voltage specifications conform
with the generator's output voltage.
Never connect the generator to the power supply
(socket-outlet).
Use only totally insulated equipment.
Keep the cable length to the consumer as short as
possible.

7. Environmental protection

Dispose of soiled maintenance material and oper-
ating materials at the appropriate collection point.
Recycle packaging material, metal and plastics.
8. Assembly (see Fig. 5-10)

8.1 Before putting the machine into operation

Check the fuel level and top it up if necessary
Make sure that the generator has sufficient
ventilation
Make sure that the ignition cable is secured to the
spark plug
Inspect the immediate vicinity of the generator
Disconnect any electrical equipment which may
already be connected to the generator

9. Operation

9.1 Starting the engine

Open the petrol cock (13) by turning it down
Move the ON/OFF switch (10) to position "ON"
with the key.
Move the choke lever (11) to position IØI.
Start the engine with the reversing starter (12) by
pulling the handle forcefully. If the engine does not
start, pull the handle again.
Push the choke lever (11) back again after the
engine has started.

9.2 Connecting consumers to the generator

Set the selector switch (6) to the left to use the
230V~ sockets.
Important: In this position the continuous power
(S1) of 4800W is equally divided among the 3
sockets, which means that each individual socket
may not be continuously loaded with more than
1600W. Each socket may be temporarily loaded
(S2) with max. 1800W for max. 5 minutes.
Set the selector switch (6) to the right to activate
400V 3~ socket.
Important: This socket may be loaded
continuously (S1) with 4800W and temporarily
(S2) for a maximum of 5 minutes with 5500W.
The generator is suitable for 230 V~ und 400 V 3~
a.c. appliances.
Do not connect the generator to the household
network as this may result in damage to the gene
rator itself or to other electrical appliances in your
home.
Note: Some electrical appliances (power jigsaws,
drills, etc.) may have a higher level of power con-
sumption when used in difficult conditions.

9.3 Switching off the engine

Before you switch off the generator, allow it to run
briefly with no consumers so that it can "cool
down"
Move the ON/OFF switch (10) to position "OFF"
with the key.
Close the petrol cock
Important! The generator is fitted with an
overload cut-out.
This shuts down the sockets (3). You can restart the
sockets (3) by pressing the overload cut-out (5).
