Ask your filling station about the time to switch over
to "winter diesel" and fill the tank with "winter diesel"
before use in outdoor temperatures from -3° to -10°
Celsius.
• If, however, the diesel fuel "congeals", the diesel
generator must be brought into a room with temper-
atures of approx. +10° Celsius for approx. 12 hours.
• If the tank is half full or full with normal diesel, then
it must be emptied
• The tank must then be filled with "winter diesel".
If almost empty or up to half empty, it is sufficient to fill
up with "winter diesel".

The engine oil change should be carried out while the
motor is at operating temperature.
• Have a suitable container that will not leak ready for
the oil change.
• Remove the engine cover (5)
• Open the oil filler plug (22)
• Open the oil drain screw (c) and drain the warm
engine oil into the collection container beneath the
outlet drain.
• Fill engine oil up to the top marking on the oil dipstick
• Dispose of the used oil properly. Hand over your
used oil at a collection point. Most filling stations,
repair workshops or recycling centres take used oil
back free of charge.
Air filter
Frequent cleaning of the air filter prevents carburettor
malfunctions.
Clean the air filter and change the air filter inserts
• The air filter must be cleaned every 30 operating
hours.
• Remove the engine cover (g)
• Remove the air filter cover (h)
• Remove the filter element (23)

result in fire or explosion.
N O T E
Never run the engine without an air filter or with a dam-
aged air filter. This would allow dirt into the engine,
which would result in severe damage to the engine. In
this case, the seller and the manufacturer disassociate
themselves from any warranty claims.
Changing the diesel filter (fig. 7)
The diesel filter must be changed when the inside of
the filter is contaminated or impurities can be seen. In
order to change the filter and collect diesel in the tank,
a funnel and an empty diesel container are required.
Undo the metal bracket on both sides of the filter. Im-
mediately insert the fuel hose through the funnel into
the diesel canister and observe the diesel flow until
no diesel drains. Remove the filter with impurities and
throw it away. Install a new filter.

• In order to empty the tank, first proceed as you
would when "Changing the diesel filter".
