USER MANUAL PS 2300 Prowork

Generators are used for a wide range of purposes. They can power electric tools or lights.

4. Important information

Please read the directions for use carefully and observe the information provided. It is important to consult these instructions in order to acquaint yours- elf with the machine, its proper use and safety pre- cautions.

5. General safety instructions:

No changes may be made to the generator. Only original parts may be used for maintenance and accessories. mportant: Danger of poisoning, do not inhale emissions. Children are to be kept away from the generator. Important: Risk of burns. Do not touch the exhaust system or drive unit. Never operate the generator in non-ventilated rooms. When operating the generator in rooms with good ventilation, the exhaust gases must be channeled directly outdoors through an exhaust hose. Important: Toxic exhaust gases can escape despite the exhaust hose. Due to the fire hazard, never direct the exhaust hose towards inflammable materials. Risk of explosion: Never operate the generator in rooms with combustible materials. The speed preset by the manufacturer is not allowed to be changed. The generator or connected equipment may be damaged. Secure the generator against shifting and toppling during transport. Place the generator at least 1m away from buildings and the equipment connected to it. Place the generator in a secure, level position. Do not turn, tip or change the generator's position while it is working. Always switch off the engine when transporting and refueling the generator. Make sure that when you refuel the generator no fuel is spilt on the engine or exhaust pipe. Never operate the generator in rain or snow. Never touch the generator with wet hands. Guard against electric danger. When working outdoors, use only extension cables that are approved for outdoor use and which are marked accordingly (H07RN..). The overall length of the extension cables used may not exceed 50 m for 1.5 mm

No changes may be made to the settings of the motor or generator. Repairs and adjustment work may only be carried out by authorized trained personnel. Do not refuel or empty the tank near open lights, fire or sparks. Do not smoke! Do not touch any mechanically driven or hot parts. Do not remove the safety guards. Do not expose the tools to damp or dust. Permissible ambient temperature – 10 to + 40 °C, max. altitude above sea level 1000 m, relative humidity: 90 % (non-condensing) 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

Dispose of soiled maintenance material and oper- ating materials at the appropriate collection point. Recycle packaging material, metal and plastics.

8. 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

9.1 Starting the engine

Open the petrol cock (13) by turning it down Set the ON/Off switch (10) to position "1”. 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. Move the choke lever (11) back to the right after the engine has started.

9.2 Connecting consumers to the generator

Connect the machine you want to use to the 230V~ sockets (3). Important! The specified load limit of 2000 W or 2800 W is allowed to be exceeded for a short period of time only. The generator is suitable for AC appliances only. Do not connect the generator to the household network as this may result in damage to the generator itself or to other electrical appliances in your home. Important: When electrical appliances (power jigsa- ws, drills, etc.) are used in difficult conditions, they have a higher level of power consumption (watts or amps) than that quoted on the manufacturer's rating plate.

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 "0” Close the petrol cock Important! The generator is fitted with an overload cut-out. This shuts down the 230V~ socket (3). You can restart the sockets (3) by pressing the overload cut-out (5). Important! If this happens, reduce the electric power you are taking from the generator.

9.4 Connecting to earth (Fig. 3)

The generator must be earthed to prevent an electric shock from electrical equipment. Connect a piece of cable between the earth connection (4) on the gene- rator and an external earth point.

Remove dust and dirt from the machine at regular intervals. The best tools for cleaning are a fine brush or a cloth Do not use any caustic substances to clean the plastic Take the petrol mixture out of the generator if you do not intend to use the generator for a lengthy period of time Important: Switch off the machine immediately and contact your service station: In the event of unusual vibrations or noise If the engine appears to be overloaded or misfires If the exhaust gases are too dark or too light

12. Changing and checking the oil level

The engine oil is best changed when the engine is at working temperature. Use only engine oil (15W40). Place the generator on a slightly inclined surface so that the oil drain plug is at the lower end. Open the oil filler plug. Open the oil drain plug and let the hot engine oil drain out. After the old oil has drained out, close the oil drain plug and place the generator on a level surface again Fill in engine oil up to the top mark on the oil dip stick Important: Do not screw in the oil dip stick – only insert it. Dispose of the old oil properly.

13. Cleaning the air filter

Remove the cover from the air filter. Now you can remove the filter elements. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or petrol to clean the elements. Clean the elements by tapping on a flat surface.
