14.3.3
Grounding
The machine is designed with the protective measure protective separation with potential equalization
in the IT network. A grounding by means of a grounding screw and a grounding spike is thus designed
to discharge static charges. For this purpose, connect the grounding screw of the power generator to
a grounding spike (grounding cable cross-section 16mm²). If other protective measures are required,
clarify them with a qualified electrician and have them documented in order to check their effective-
ness.

Information on Initial Start-up
14.4.1
Test Run Initial Start-up
Make sure to treat the machine with care, when using it for the first time.
•
Let the machine run idle for about 3 minutes before connecting the generator with consumer
load.
•
Pay attention to abnormal noises.
•
Pay attention to the exhaust fumes (too black, too white)?
If these points meet the demands, the machine can be used further. Otherwise stop the machine and
find the cause of the problem.
14.5
Switching on the machine by an electrical amateur
Switching on without a qualified electrician, the following requirements must be met:
The machine is checked at regular intervals by a qualified electrician (recommended every six
•
months).
•
After switching on or before use, the functionality of the residual current device (RCD) or insu-
lation monitoring device (IMD) must be checked by pressing the test button.
Extension and connection cables as a well as plugs/sockets must be checked regularly for me-
chanical damage.
Only use cables and conductors that are permanently suitable for the intended use.

Operating instructions
• Always place the machine on a firm and flat surface! No turning, tilting or moving during
the engine is running.
• Always check oil and fuel level before starting.
• Do not connect the device before the machine is running at full speed.
• Disconnect the device before turning the machine off.
• Connected devices must be in perfect condition.
• Keep the cable length to the device as short as possible.
15.1.1
Operation of the machine to over 1800m above sea level
When operating at high altitudes, the air/fuel mixture becomes too dense due to the lower
•
oxygen content in the air. This leads to loss of power, increased fuel consumption, rapid wear
of the spark plugs and difficult starting of the engine.

WAR N I N G
Never refuel if the engine is running
• Place the machine on a firm and flat surface.
• Open the fuel filler cap (1).
• Check the fuel filter (2).
• Level check in the form of a visual inspection or via
display (3). If necessary, top up with fuel with the ap-
propriate octane number (RON 95).
NOTE:
Never refuel without filtering the fuel!
• Close the fuel filler cap (1) tightly after refuelling.
