1. Place the generator on a suitable support slightly at an angle with the oil draining screw.
2. Open the oil draining screw.
3. Open the oil draining plug and drain the oil into a receiving container.
4. After draining the generator, close the oil drain plug and return the generator to the ground.
5. Fill with recommended oil up to the upper mark on the oil level gauge. Do not screw the dipstick
for the oil level check, only insert it to the thread.
The generator is equipped with an automatic shutdown system in case of low oil level.
6.1.4- Replacement of defective fuses (for PRGE5500 Fig. 17)
Open the fuse compartment and replace the defective fuse with a new model. Only use fuses of the
same type as the one installed (check the maximum current on the fuse). If in doubt, contact our
customer service or an electrician.
6.2- Storage
Note! Failure to follow these recommendations may result in deposits on the inside wall of the
accelerator, which in turn results in a difficult start or lasting damage to the machine.
1. Perform all maintenance work.
2. Run the fuel from the tank (using a fuel pump for example).
3. Once the fuel is empty, start the machine.
4. Allow the machine to run empty until it stops. This cleans the carburetor of any remaining fuel.
5. Cool the machine (about 5 minutes).
6. Remove the spark plug.
7. Clean the outer casing of the machine.
8. Store the machine in a cool, dry place out of reach of ignition sources and flammable substances.
9. Ideally, cover the machine to protect it from dust.
6.3- Disposal
When discarding the generator, drain it from the fuel and oil and be sure to follow local regulations.
Do not throw in or with garbage.
6.4- Transportation
1. Use the handle for transporting the generator.
2. Transport the equipment only by carrying it by the handle.
3. Protect the equipment against unexpected knocks and vibrations.
