9. Initial operation

Earthing the generator The power unit is equipped with an earth that connects the frame structure of the unit to the earth connections in the a.c. sock- ets. The earth is not connected to the a.c. neutral cables. If the power unit is tested with a phasing tester, it does not have the same ground loop as a normal household appliance. To protect against electric shock, ensure that the generator is earthed. Connect the generator and the external earth source, e.g. a water pipe that is driven into the earth or a copper pipe that is driven into the earth, with a thick wire.

WARNING: Do not use any pipes that

carry inammable substances as an earth source. Start the engine (Fig. 1 + 2) NOTE: Do not connect the electrical de- vice before starting the engine. 1 Turn the fuel valve (16) to ON. When the engine is cold: Turn the choke lever (18) to the CLOSED position. When the engine is warm: Turn the choke lever to OPEN Set the manual choke lever to OPEN. Checking the oil level (Fig. 7) Remove the oil ller cap (7) and wipe the dipstick clean. Check the oil level by insert- ing the dipstick into the lling nozzle without screwing the cap on. If the oil level is too low, rell with the recommended oil up to the lower rim of the oil lling nozzle. Oil warning system The oil warning system is congured to avoid damage to the engine due to a lack of oil in the spherical housing. Before the oil level in the spherical housing can drop below the safety level, the oil warning sys- tem automatically cuts the engine o󰀨. If the oil warning system cuts the engine o󰀨, rell the engine oil. Refuelling Warning! Petrol is highly inammable and explosive. When handling fuels, you may su󰀨er burns or other severe inju- ries. Use petrol with an octane rating of at least 90 octane. Only use fresh, clean fuel. Water or impurities in the petrol dam- age the fuel system. Tank volume: 15 litres

• Only ll the tank up to the marking in the fuel strainer. Note that fuel expands.

• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the engine was in op- eration immediately before, allow it to cool rst.

• Never refuel the engine in a building where the petrol vapour may come into contact with ames or sparks.

• Do not smoke whilst refuelling or in the area in which the petrol is stored and pre- vent naked ames or sparks under these circumstances.

• After refuelling, ensure that the tank cov- er is closed correctly and securely again. Take care!

• Mop up spilled petrol immediately.

• If petrol is spilled, ensure that the area is dried before starting the engine.

• Avoid repeated or long contact of the fuel with the skin and avoid breathing in the fumes. www.scheppach.com / [e-mail] / +(49)-08223-4002-99 / +(49)-08223-4002-58

Connection to the electrical installation of a building can also cause the electric cur- rent of the electricity supplier to return to the power unit. When the mains supply is restored, the power unit may explode, burn or cause a re to break out in the electrical installation of the building. Circuit breaker (8) The fuse will automatically break the gen- erator with a short circuit or in the case of a signicant overload of the generator at the power outlet. Is the fuse automatically jumped out into position o󰀨 check that the connected electrical appliance is in per- fect condition and does not exceed the load limit of the circuit before you push the fuse.
