KEY TO MARKS AND SYMbOLS (FIG. b)
1. Warning! Carefully read the instructions.
2. Warning! Always turn off the motor and wait for it to stop before refuelling or
maintenance.
3. Warning! The motor gives off a poisonous, odourless and colourless gas: inhalation
may cause nausea, fainting and death. Maintain a safe distance.
4. Prohibited! Do not operate the machine indoors. The motor gives off a poisonous,
odourless and colourless gas: inhalation may cause nausea, fainting and death.
5. Warning! Danger of hot surfaces. Some of the outer surfaces on the machine
can reach high temperatures. Some surfaces can remain hot after the motor is
turned off. Maintain a safe distance.
6. Warning! Risk of electric shock. Read the warnings.
7. Prohibited! Do not connect the machine or supply energy to a fixed domestic or
building power supply already connected to a fixed power supply line.
8. Warning! Always connect the generator to an earth rod. Danger of electric shock.
9. Warning! Always check the lubricant level in the motor guard.
10. Warning! Risk of fire. Prohibited! Do not use naked flames or work near sources
that could ignite fires.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The internal combustion engine (four-stroke) transmits rotation by means of mecha-
nical coupling with the alternator. This generates a certain voltage at its terminals and
therefore the sockets.
The electricity produced and its stability depends on the motor's power and regularity
of operation.
This machine's standard system must consist of: generator, power supply line, earth
line, electric load.
USER INSTRUCTIONS
MACHINE MALFUNCTION
Turn off the machine, disconnect the electrical connections of the appliances by
disconnecting all of the plugs from the machine's sockets when: the machine is
not being used, is left unattended, the machine is moved from one place to another,
when cleaning or carrying out maintenance on it and when the weather worsens or
potential dangers exist.
MOVING OF THE MACHINE
Lift and move the machine using suitable equipment or the handgrip.
Do not lift or move the machine by brute strength only.
STORE THE MACHINE IN A SAFE PLACE
When not in use, keep the machine in a dry place out of reach of children.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Only use this machine in the way described in these instructions.
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
Electronic equipment such as televisions, stereo systems, personal computers, etc.,
which could be incompatible with this generator should not be used.
PREPARATION
The machine may be supplied with some components not fitted and with components
that must be checked.
Remove the machine and the components from the packaging. Visually check their
integrity and proceed to assemble as illustrated in the enclosed sheet. If in doubt,
contact your dealer.
bATTERY ASSEMbLY (C2, where fitted)
1. Assemble the battery's supports (1) onto the frame. Place the shelf (2) onto the
supports and tighten the screws.
2. Pass the positive start cable (3) under the tank and connect it to the starter (4).
3. Connect the black negative cable (5) to the generator's frame, removing the paint
from the area of contact.
4. Place the battery (6) on the shelf (2) and lock it into place with the bracket (7).
Connect the red start cable (3) to the battery's positive pole (+) and then the negative
cable (5) to the negative pole (-). To disconnect the battery, remove the cable from
the negative pole (-) first.
5. Assemble the side panel (8) onto the battery's supports. Use 12V batteries from
18 to 35Ah.
WARNING! The battery must be charged before connecting it to the generator.
Otherwise, the generator could be damaged.
INTERNAL COMbUSTION ENGINE
Motor oil (Fig. C)
IMPORTANT! The Motor is supplied without lubricant oil:do not operate the machine!
It needs to be filled up.
IMPORTANT! Each operation indicated below must be carried out while the motor
is off and the motor start switch is in the "STOP" position (Fig. E, Pos. 6).
Use a quality, highly detergent oil for 4T motors, classified under API categories SG or
SF. An SAE 10W-40 oil is suitable for all working temperatures, but it is always best to
choose the oil type on the basis of the table and average temperatures of the zone.
Oil information:
Working temperature
From -10°C to 0°C
From 0°C to 25°C
From 25°C to 35°C
Up to 35°C and till to 45°C
First use, filling up the motor oil
1. Place the generator on a flat horizontal surface.
2. Unscrew the oil cap (12 fig. A) in an anti-clockwise direction(1).
3. Fill with the required quantity of quality oil (see instructions below).
4. Check the oil level and top up if necessary. The motor oil's level must be up to the
edge of the filler cap (3).
5. Tighten the cap by turning it clockwise (2).
Subsequent use, motor oil check and topping up
WARNING! The check must be carried out with the motor cold.
1.Position the machine on a flat, horizontal surface.
2. Unscrew the oil cap in an anti-clockwise direction.(1).
3. Check the oil level and top up if necessary. The motor oil's level must be up to the
edge of the filler cap (3).
4. Tighten the cap by turning it clockwise (2).
Replacing the motor oil (Fig. C)
Replace the motor oil according to the maintenance instructions.
The motor oil should be replaced when the motor is hot.
The used oil should be disposed of at collection and disposal centres.
1. Position the machine on a flat, horizontal surface.
2. Unscrew the oil cap in an anti-clockwise direction.
3. Place an oil drip tray beneath the motor, in line with the oil drain cap (7 fig. A).
4. Unscrew the oil cap (4) and remove it together with the seal.(5)
5. Let all the oil run out.
6. Close the cap, making sure that you replace the seal.(4 and 5).
7. Repeat the operations described in the "First use, filling up the motor oil" para-
graph.
Filling up with fuel (Fig. D)
The machine motor is supplied without fuel: fill up the tank before starting the ma-
chine!
Unleaded car petrol should be used. (or eurosuper)
IMPORTANT! Never use diesel, dirty or very old fuel.
Do not allow water or dirt to enter the tank.
Do not use petrol containing alcohol.
IMPORTANT! Risk of fire and explosion.
Fill up the tank with the machine switched off. If the fuel has splashed onto the machine
or floor, dry it up before starting the machine.
1. Open the tank cap, turning it in an anti-clockwise direction.(1)
2. Fill the tank up. Don't exceed upper edge of the filter.(3)
3. Close the tank cap by turning it in a clockwise direction.(2)
EARTHING OF THE MACHINE
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution.
WARNING! To prevent electric shock due to defective connected appliances, the
generator must be earthed with a fixed system by means of the provided terminal
(Figure A 9).
Before carrying out any operation, refer to the "Electrical safety norms" of these
instructions.
To set up this system, contact your electrician. Do not attempt to do it yourselves.
Do not connect other appliances to this earth return. Appliances that have an earth cable
must be connected to the machine via the sockets on the electrical board only.
