Transport, packaging, storage
5 Transport, packaging, storage
Delivery
Check the generator on delivery for any visible transpor-
tation damage. If you notice any damage to the device
please report this immediately to the carrier or dealer.
Transport
During transport, the generator must be well secured so
that it cannot fall; drain the fuel and ensure that no acid
or vapours leaking from the battery (if available). For
transport on road vehicles, check the entire mass of the
machine. Never start the generator inside a vehicle.
Transport with a forklift/lift truck:
For transport with a sufficiently dimensioned lift truck or
forklift truck, the generator must be secured with bolts on
a flat, firm surface (e.g. on a pallet).
Packaging
All used packaging materials and packaging aids are re-
cyclable and should be taken to a materials recycling de-
pot to be disposed of.
The delivery packaging is made of cardboard, so please
dispose carefully by having it chopped up and given to
the recycling collection.
The film is made of polyethylene (PE) and the cushioned
parts of polystyrene (PS). These materials should be
taken to a collection point for recyclable materials or to
the local waste disposal company.
Storage
Store the generator thoroughly cleaned in a dry, clean
and frost-free environment. Generators must not be
stacked on top of each other. Also no other objects may
be placed on them.
To avoid motor problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. For the pe-
trol motor it is important to empty the carburetor pan: ol-
der petrol residues damage the parts that come into con-
tact with them through deposits.
ATTENTION!
Only transport the generator with an empty fuel tank!
The spark plug connector must be disconnected.
The generator may only be transported in an upright
position!
NOTE!
Observe the weight of the machine when transporting
and lifting. The transport and lifting equipment must
be able to carry the load.
NOTE!
The generator should be protected from humidity.
Tips and recommendation
For longer transports, make sure that the corrosion
protection is intact or renewed if necessary.
ATTENTION!
The generator should be started every seven days at
the latest and run for approx. 30 minutes. If this is not
possible and the generator is out of service for more
than 30 days, appropriate measures should be taken
to ensure proper storage.
ATTENTION!
It is important to avoid deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor,
fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience
indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol,
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which
leads to separation and formation of acids storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of a motor
while in storage.
ATTENTION!
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive under cer-
tain conditions. Do not smoke or produce sparks in
the immediate environs.

Description of the device

Exhaust
port
ATTENTION!
Starting the motor when the oil level is insufficient
can cause serious damage!
Check the fuel level: use only clean and warer-free
fuel.
The fuel is highly flammable and explosive under cer-
tain conditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated environ-
ment with the motor switched off. Do not smoke
during refuelling and do not use an open fire.
Never work with the generator before the air filter has
been inserted, otherwise the service life of the motor
and generator will be reduce.
NOTE!
- Operate the generator in a clean, dry environment.
Do not expose the generator to excessive dust, dirt,
moisture or vapors.
- The cooling fins must not be clogged by foreign ob-
jects.
Use protective goggles!
Wear safety boots!
Wear protective clothes!
NOTE!
Before you put the generator into operation for the
first time, observe the following points.
- Make sure that the generator stands on a level, ho-
rizontal and stable surface.
- Make sure that no power consumer is connected to
the generator.
- The oil has a large influence on the performance
and service life of the motor. The motor's Operation
and Maintenance Manual lists the characteristics of
the oil and the ideal oil level for this generator.
- For petrol motor versions, the cold start choke must
be switched on.
- For generators with electric ignition, turn the ignition
key to the "START" position and release it as soon
as the motor has started.

8.1 Before starting
Step 1: Check that no power consumer is connected to
the generator.
Step 2: Check grounding. Proper grounding of the gene-
rator will prevent electric shock in the generator
or connected electrical equipment. Proper
grounding also prevents static electricity, which
often builds up in ungrounded equipment.
Step 3: Check the air filter: make sure it is in good condi-
tion and free of dust or dirt. Refer to the motor
manual for access to the filter.
Step 4: Put the battery into operation.
Step 5: Check motor oil level, top up if necessary. Select
the suitable motor oil depending on the tempera-
ture.
Fig. 13: Viscosity grade of the oil according to the temperature
Place the generator on a flat surface.
Clean the area around the filling opening. Re-
move the cap, pull out the dipstick and wipe it off.
Slowly pour the oil through the oil filter into the
motor until the level reaches the mark on the dip-
stick. In the meantime, check the level several
times. Never exceed the maximum filling level!
Close the filling opening tightly with the cap.
Check the oil level before each motor start!
Step 6: Fill the tank with petrol. Use always unleaded re-
gular petrol. Never use petrol containing more
than 10% ethanol. Leave about 4 cm free space
in the tank for the gasoline expansion (Fig. 14).
Fig. 14: Gasoline expansion
Close tightly the filler hole with the cap. Wipe up the spil-
led petrol!
Fig. 15: Petrol fill level
CAUTION!
Never fill tank indoors.
Never fill fuel tank when the motor is running or hot.
Do not overfill the tank (do not fill to the top of the fil-
ling device), fuel may leak due to motor vibrations.
Take care that no petrol drips to the ground during
refuelling.
Make sure that the fuel filler cap has been closed
correctly after refilling. If petrol has dripped on the
floor, make sure that the environment is dry before
starting the motor.
Avoid direct physical contact with the fuel and do not
inhale vapours; keep out of the reach of children.
The petrol vapours are flammable. Never light ciga-
rettes or smoke when refuelling. Avoid open fires.
CAUTION!
Do not come into contact with the acid and do not
smoke or use open fire: the vapours emitted by the
battery are highly flammable! Keep the battery acid
out of the reach of children.
ATTENTION!
Never fill the tank while the motoris running! The
generator must cool down for at least 2 minutes
before opening the filler cap.
Slowly open the fuel filler cap to equalize the pres-
sure.
Never mix oil with petrol!
Never overfill the fuel tank. Leave room for the petrol
to expand.
Regularly check the lines, tank and cap for leaks or
damage. Replace if necessary.
If the generator is operated at an altitude of more
than 1500 m above sea level, petrol with at least 85
octane must be used.

Step 5: When motor starts, move choke lever to 1/2-
CHOKE position till motor runs smoothly and
then fully into ON position. If motor flalters,
move choke back to 1/2- CHOKE position till
motor running smoothly and then fully into ON
position again.
8.3 Operation
The motor is equipped with a low oil level sensor that
shuts down the motor automatically when the oil level
drops below a specified level. If the motor shuts down by
itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline, check motor
oil level.
Step 1: Let the engine warm up stably for a few minutes
after starting.
Step 2: Add up the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to
be connected at one time. This total should not
be greater than the rated wattage/amperage ca-
pacity of the generator or circuit breaker rating of
the receptacle supplying the power.
Step 3: Plug in the electrical consumer(s). The consu-
mers must be switched off.
Step 4: Switch on the electrical consumer(s).
8.4 Switching off the generator
Step 1: Disconnect or interrupt all electricity consumers
supplied by the generator.
Step 2: Disconnect the mains plug(s) of the electrical
consumer(s) from the generator.
Step 3: Let the motor run unloaded for 2-3 minutes and
then switch off directly on the motor by actuating
the switch-off device. This guarantees good coo-
ling.
For generators with electric start, set the starter
switch to "OFF".
Step 4: Close the fuel tap.
ATTENTION!
If motor fails to start after 3 pulls, or if unit shut down
during operation, make sure unit is on a level sur-
face and check for proper oil level in crankcase
(Low oil shut-off).
ATTENTION!
- Do not connect electricity consumers to the genera-
tor whose electrical characteristics are unknown or
whose characteristics differ from those of the gene-
rator (e.g. different voltages and/or frequencies).
- The generator electric circuit is protected by a cir-
cuit breaker: Any overloads and/or short circuits will
interrupt the circuit. To reactivate the circuit, re-
move the excess electricity consumers, determine
the cause of the short-circuit and/or overload and
switch on the switch again.
- Do not place any objects on the frame or directly on
the motor during commissioning of the generator:
any foreign objects could iwith proper operation.
- Do not obstruct the normal vibrations of the alterna-
tor during operation. The silent blocks are dimen-
sioned for proper operation.
ATTENTION!
If the connected consumers overheat, switch them
off and disconnect them from the generator.
ATTENTION!
The generator should be started at least once every
seven days and be allowed to run at least 30 minu-
tes. If this cannot be done and the unit must be sto-
red for more than 30 days, use the following
information as a guide to prepare it for storage.
- Empty the fuel tank, start the generator and let it run
until all fuel is used up and the generator stops.
- Cover the cooled generator and protect it from
moisture.
- See chapter "Storage" for further measures.
ATTENTION!
After the motor has been switched off, it still emits
heat, so sufficient ventilation should be provided
even after the generator has been switched off.

the spark plug.
- No electricity consumer may be connected to the
generator.
- Wait until the hot parts have cooled down.
- Never clean the machine with a water jet or flam-
mable products!
- Before putting the generator back into operation,
make sure that it is completely dry.
NOTE!
The warranty does not cover parts of the generator
that have been misused or negligently handled by
the operator. For full warranty coverage, the opera-
tor must operate the generator as described in the
manual.
Regular adjustments must be made to ensure pro-
per operation of the generator. Follow the instructi-
ons in the "Maintenance schedule"
ATTENTION!
Never use strong cleaning agents to clean of the pla-
stic parts or painted surfaces. The surface may be
loosened and consequential damage may occur.

formed by specialists.

Notes on the proper storage of the power generators
PG-E-Series | Version 2.15 19
9.3 Maintenance plan
10 Notes on the proper storage of the
power generators
Storage shorter than 30 days:
- Start the generator every 7 days and allow it to
warm up - however, storage should generally be
avoided
- Storage must be guaranteed in a dry and dust-free
room
- Do not expose to large temperature fluctuations (
The temperature range should be between mini-
mum 0° Celsius and maximum +40° Celsius)
shorter than 1 year:
- Clean and cover the generator.
- Before storing, change the oil, as it is possible that
old oil will have drawn water and components in
the generator will begin to corrode.
- (Change the engine oil when the engine is warm
and not hot).
- Fill up with high-quality fuel, preferably without et-
hanol and with suitable additives (stabilisers, antio-
xidants, corrosion protection).
- Disconnect the battery and connect it to a voltage
maintenance device (battery should be stored in a
room at approx. 20° Celsius).
longer 1 year
Note: It is important to remove all liquids from the gene-
rator, as fuel such as petrol and diesel in particular only
have a shelf life of approx. one year.
- Remove all liquids (oil and fuel) from the generator.
It is also important to ensure that the carburettor is
free of fuel.
- Remove the spark plug and cover the openings
with a clean cloth.
- Pour 15 ml of engine oil into the cylinder and crank
the generator a few revolutions so that the oil is
distributed.
- Screw the spark plugs back in
- Preserve the oil and petrol or diesel tank with
suitable corrosion protection.
- Disconnect the battery and connect it to a voltage
maintenance device (at best, the battery should be
stored in a room with a temperature of approx. 20°
Celsius).
- Ensure storage in a dry and dust-free room
- Do not expose to large temperature fluctuations
(the temperature range should be between a mini-
mum of 0° Celsius and a maximum of +40° Cel-
sius).
Commissioning
- Change or fill engine oil
- Change oil, air and fuel filters
- Unscrew and clean spark plug, check distances if
necessary.
- Let the generator crank a little without the spark
plug by pulling the cable so that the oil is distribu-
ted.
- Install spark plug
- Fill with suitable fuel
Important note
When the generator is started, smoke will initially be pro-
duced. The reason for this is that the oil that was pre-
viously filled in also burns.
When stored for a longer period of time, the rotor in the
synchronous motor loses its residual magnetism and can
no longer generate voltage. To prevent this, it is recom-
mended that the generator is subjected to a test run of at
least 15 minutes at least once a month. In case of pro-
blems, contact Stürmer Service.
