Basic notes on operation
!
CAUTION! Beware of injury
Do not insert your fingers or objects into the ventilation openings.
Please note the following basic information:
• When operating the generator at low temperatures (< 0 °C) you have to use
winter diesel fuel or you have to add a percentage of petrol to the diesel oil
according to the following table:
Ambient Temperature
–10 to 0 °C
–15 to –10 °C
–20 to –15 °C
• Always check the oil level before use (chapter "Checking the oil level" on
page 21).
• Check the oil level in the oil sump.
• Check if the air inlet ducts for combustion and cooling are intact and free from
residues.
• Even small overloads in the long-run will cause the fuses to blow.
• Leave the generator running for a few minutes after use without any consumers
before stopping it.
