power network as this may result in damage
to the generator itself or to other electrical
appliances in your home.
Note: Some electrical appliances (power jigsaws,
drills, etc.) may have a higher level of power
consumption when used in difficult conditions.
7.3 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 "O".
- Close the petrol cock.
7.4 Overload cut-out for socket-outlets
Important! The generator is fitted with an
overload cut-out.
This shuts down the sockets (3). You can restart
the sockets by pressing the overload cut-out (5).
Important! If this happens, reduce the electric
power you are taking from the generator or
remove any defective connected appliances.
Important! Defective overload cut-outs must be
replaced only by overload cut-outs of identical
design and with the same performance data.
If repairs are necessary, please contact your
customer service center.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and storage
Switch off the motor and pull the spark plug boot
from the spark plug before doing any cleaning
and maintenance work on the equipment.
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.
8.1 Cleaning
- Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.

- We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished using it.
- Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning
agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic
parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can
seep into the device.
8.2 Air filter
In this connection, please also read the service
information.
- Clean the air filter at regular intervals, and
replace it if necessary.
- Open both clips and remove the air filter cover.
- Remove the filter elements.
- Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or petrol to
clean the elements.
- Clean the elements by tapping them on a flat
surface. In cases of stubborn dirt first clean with
soapy water, and then rinse with clear water and
air dry.
- Assemble in reverse order.
8.3. Spark plug
Check the spark plug (16) for dirt and grime after
20 hours of operation and if necessary clean with
a copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark
plug after every 50 hours of operation.
- Pull off the spark plug boot with a twist.
- Remove the spark plug with the supplied spark
plug wrench.
- Assemble in reverse order.
8.4 Changing the oil and checking the oil level
(before using the machine)
The motor oil is best changed when the motor is
at working temperature.
- Only use motor oil (15W40/<0
- Place the generator on a slightly inclined surface
so that the oil drain plug is at the lower end.
- Open the oil filler plug (8).
- Open the oil drain plug (7) and let the hot
engine oil drain out into a drip tray.
- After the old oil has drained out, close the oil
drain plug and place the generator on a level
surface again.
