13.3 Remaining risk factors

Even if the machine is used as required it is still impossible to eliminate certain residual risk factors totally. The following hazards may arise in connection with the machine´s construction and design:

Risk of burns: Touching the mufflers, exhaust and other machine components which can be hot after prolonged continuous operation or when the engine is hot cause severe burns.

Risk of fire and explosion: Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions. NEVER refuel fuel or engine oil while the machine is in operation or is hot. When refueling and at places where fuel is stored not smoke or allow open flames or sparks. Do not overfill the fuel tank and avoid the spillage of gasoline during refueling. If fuel is spilled make sure the area is completely dry and cleaned before starting the engine. Make sure that the filler cap is tightly closed again after refueling safely.

Chemical risks Never use or refuel a gasoline or diesel engine in a closed area without adequate ventilation. Carbon monoxide emissions from the internal drive units of the engine can cause in confined spaces through inhalation health effects and death. Therefore use the machine only in well-ventilated rooms or outdoors in operation. Liquid fuels can cause serious damage on the skin and the environment.

Risk of electric shock Direct electrical contact may cause electric shock. Never touch the unit with wet hands. Provide adequate grounding.

Hearing damage A longer stay in the immediate vicinity of the running unit may cause hearing damage. Wear ear protectors! These risk factors can be minimized through obeying all security and operation instructions, proper machine maintenance, proficient and appropriate operation by persons with technical knowledge and experience. In spite of all safety is and remains her healthy common sense and their corresponding technical qualification / training for use of the machines most important safety factor!Original Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-IG13_de_en_fr_ita_rev04

15.1 Pre-operation check

The generator is delivered without engine oil and fuel! Engine oil 15W40 must be filled before first use! See capture maintenance => engine oil change

Place the machine on a firm and flat surface. Open the fuel cap. Check the fuel filter. Never refuel without fuel filter! Fuel must be unleaded gasoline

15.2 Operation instructions

Always place the machine on a firm and flat surface! No turning, tilting or moving during the engine is running Always check oil and fuel level before starting Do not connect the appliance before the unit is running at full speed. Disconnect the appliance before turning the unit off. Connected devices must be in perfect condition. Keep the cable length to the consumer as short as possible.Original Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-IG13_de_en_fr_ita_rev04

When starting with the recoil starter, the motor may recoil suddenly as it starts up, resulting in hand injuries!

A T T E N T I O N In case of emergency stop the generator directly with the ON-OFF switch In normal circumstances switch off the generator as follows: Shut down the connected devices and disconnect them from the generator. To cool down let the engine running for a while without any loads. Switch off the generator by putting the engine switch to position „0“ OFF At longer breaks: To cool down let the engine running for a while without any loads. Thereafter close the fuel cock by turning to position „OFF“. The engine runs until the remaining fuel is consumed in the carburetor. Switch off the generator by putting the engine switch to position „0“ OFF

At low power output can be switched with the ECO switch to energy saving mode ECO switch on: The engine always runs at idle speed and consumes less fuel At high power output and in DC mode the ECO switch must always be switched OFF

At cold start set the choke to position „START“. At worm start (the engine was running and is still warm) set choke to Position „RUN“. If the generator fails to start after 5 attempts, pull choke to position "START" and try again.

Start the engine with the recoil starter: Grip the handle and pill the recoil starter. If the engine does not start, try again. Normally start: 3-4 attemptsOriginal Bedienungsanleitung FUXTEC FX-IG13_de_en_fr_ita_rev04
