following paragraph:
2. General safety regulations
- Operate the generator ONLY o tdoors, s fficiently
distant from windows, doors and f me c pboards.
- Never operate the generator in enclosed spaces that
do not have adeq ate ventilation. The motor pro-
d ces carbon monoxide and other harmf l gases
that are harmf l to the health of persons in contact
with it. For this reason, adeq ate ventilation sho ld
be ens red. The comb stion exha st gases are led
o t of the motor room or the work area of the per-
sonnel via pipes and extraction systems. Install a
carbon monoxide alarm device!
- Operate the generator only on horizontal s rfaces to
ens re optim m flow of oil and f el to the motor. If
operation on horizontal s rfaces is not possible, the
ser m st install s itable mo nting and levelling de-
vices to ens re safe stand the generator.
- If the generator is to be sed in rain or snow, provide
adeq ate protection and stability.
- Keep children away from the r nning generator at all
times and in any case; ens re that the motor re-
mains hot for abo t one ho r when switched off. The
exha st pipes, exha st pipes and motor are the
areas where the elevated temperat res last the lon-
gest. To ching them can ca se severe b rns.
- Do not carry o t any checks or maintenance work on
the generator in operation; switch off the motor in
any case.
- Filling with f el and refilling with oil m st be carried
o t with the motor switched off. It is important that
the motor maintains its high temperat re for abo t 1
ho r after it has been switched off.
- The f nctions and circ its of the generator sho ld be
known: Unexperienced persons sho ld not be allo-
wed to se the generator.
- Do not mis se the machine for other p rposes, s ch
as: heating a room with the heat emitted by the mo-
tor, etc.
- If the machine is not in se, do not allow na thori-
sed persons to se it; therefore, eq ip the emer-
gency generator with blocking systems (remove the
ignition key, lock the protective cover with appropri-
ate locks, etc.).
- The machine does not need to be eq ipped with its
own headlights. In any case, the workplace sho ld
be eq ipped with lighting complying with the applica-
ble standards.
- Do not remove any g ards and do not leave the ma-
chine r nning witho t s itable protection (sides and
ho sing) so as not to expose the ser to danger.
- If these g ards have to be removed (for main-
tenance or inspection), it is essential to switch off the
generator beforehand. This work may only be car-
ried o t by q alified personnel.
Protective goggles
The protective goggles serve to protect the eyes
against parts flying off.
Protective gloves
The protective gloves serve to protect the hands
against sharp components as well as against fric-
tion, abrasions or deep inj ries.
Safety boots
Safety boots protect the feet from being cr shed, fall-
ing parts and slipping over on slippery gro nd
Protective clothes
Protective clothes are made of a tightly fitted fabric
witho t the protr ding parts of low tear strength.

PG-E-Series | Version 2.08 9
Packaging
All sed packaging materials and packaging aids are re-
cyclable and sho ld be taken to a materials recycling de-
pot to be disposed of.
The delivery packaging is made of cardboard, so please
dispose caref lly by having it chopped p and given to
the recycling collection.
The film is made of polyethylene (PE) and the c shioned
parts of polystyrene (PS). These materials sho ld be
taken to a collection point for recyclable materials or to
the local waste disposal company.
Storage
Store the generator thoro ghly cleaned in a dry, clean
and frost-free environment. Generators m st not be
stacked on top of each other. Also no other objects may
be placed on them.
To avoid motor problems, the f el system sho ld be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. For the pe-
trol motor it is important to empty the carb retor pan: ol-
der petrol resid es damage the parts that come into con-
tact with them thro gh deposits.
Step 1: Remove all gasoline from the f el tank. Start and
r n ethe motor ntil motor stops from lack of f el.
Step 2: While motor is still warm, drain oil from crank-
case. Refill with recommended grade.
Fig. 3: Drain oil and petrol
Step 3: Remove spark pl gs and po r abo t 1/2 o nce
(15 ml) of motor oil the cylinders. Cover spark
pl g hole with rag. P ll the recoil starter a co ple
times to l bricate the piston rings and cylinder
bore.
Step 4: Install and tighten spark pl gs. Do not connect
spark pl g wires.
Step 5: Clean the generator o ter s rfaces. Check that
cooling air slots and openings on generator are
open and nobstr cted.
Step 6: Store the nit in clean, dry place.
ATTENTION
The generator sho ld be started every seven days at
the latest and r n for approx. 30 min tes. If this is not
possible and the generator is o t of service for more
than 30 days, appropriate meas res sho ld be taken
to ens re proper storage.
ATTENTION
It is important to avoid deposits from forming in
essential f el system parts s ch as the carb retor,
f el hose or tank d ring storage. Also, experience
indicates that alcohol-blended f els (called gasohol,
ethanol or methanol) can attract moist re, which
leads to separation and formation of acids storage.
Acidic gas can damage the f el system of a motor
while in storage.
ATTENTION
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive nder cer-
tain conditions. Do not smoke or prod ce sparks in
the immediate environs.

PG-E-Series | Version 2.08 13
8.1 Before starting
Step 1: Check that no power cons mer is connected to
the generator.
Step 2: Check gro nding. Proper gro nding of the gene-
rator will prevent electric shock in the generator
or connected electrical eq ipment. Proper
gro nding also prevents static electricity, which
often b ilds p in ngro nded eq ipment.
Step 3: Check the air filter: make s re it is in good condi-
tion and free of d st or dirt. Refer to the motor
man al for access to the filter.
Step 4: P t the battery into operation (if available): fill the
compartments with a sol tion of 30/40% s lph -
ric acid to the maxim m level and wait at least 2
ho rs before p tting into operation.
Step 5: Check motor oil level, top p if necessary. Select
the s itable motor oil depending on the tempera-
t re.
Fig. 11: Viscosity grade of the oil according to the temperat re
Place the generator on a flat s rface.
Clean the area aro nd the filling opening. Re-
move the cap, p ll o t the dipstick and wipe it off.
Slowly po r the oil thro gh the oil filter into the
motor ntil the level reaches the mark on the dip-
stick. In the meantime, check the level several
times. Never exceed the maxim m filling level!
Close the filling opening tightly with the cap.
Check the oil level before each motor start!
Step 5: Fill the tank with petrol. Use always nleaded re-
g lar petrol. Never se petrol containing more
than 10% ethanol.
Close tightly the filler hole with the cap. Wipe p
the spilled petrol!
NOTE
Before yo p t the generator into operation for the
first time, observe the following points.
- Make s re that the generator stands on a level, ho-
rizontal and stable s rface.
- Make s re that no power cons mer is connected to
the generator.
- The oil has a large infl ence on the performance
and service life of the motor. The motor's Operation
and Maintenance Man al lists the characteristics of
the oil and the ideal oil level for this generator.
- For petrol motor versions, the cold start choke m st
be switched on.
- For generators with electric ignition, t rn the ignition
key to the "START" position and release it as soon
as the motor has started.
- To start generators with p ll starter, slowly p ll o t
the starting device ntil yo feel resistance, then
p ll jerkily.
CAUTION
Never fill tank indoors.
Never fill f el tank when the motor is r nning or hot.
Do not not overfill the tank (do not fill to the top of the
filling device), f el may leak d e to motor vibrations.
Take care that no petrol drips to the gro nd d ring
ref elling.
Make s re that the f el filler cap has been closed
correctly after refilling. If petrol has dripped on the
floor, make s re that the environment is dry before
starting the motor.
Avoid direct physical contact with the f el and do not
inhale vapo rs; keep o t of the reach of children.
The petrol vapo rs are flammable. Never light ciga-
rettes or smoke when ref elling. Avoid open fires.
CAUTION
Do not come into contact with the acid and do not
smoke or se open fire: the vapo rs emitted by the
battery are highly flammable! Keep the battery acid
o t of the reach of children.
ATTENTION
Never fill the tank while the motoris r nning! The
generator m st cool down for at least 2 min tes
before opening the filler cap.
Slowly open the f el filler cap to eq alize the pres-
s re.
Never mix oil with petrol!
Never overfill the f el tank. Leave room for the petrol
to expand.
Reg larly check the lines, tank and cap for leaks or
damage. Replace if necessary.
If the generator is operated at an altit de of more
than 1500 m above sea level, petrol with at least 85
octane m st be sed.

Schritt 5: When motor starts, move choke lever to 1/2-
CHOKE position till motor r ns smoothly and
then f lly into ON position. If motor flalters,
move choke back to 1/2- CHOKE position till
motor r nning smoothly and then f lly into ON
position again.
8.3 Operation
The motor is eq ipped with a low oil level sensor that
sh ts down the motor a tomatically when the oil level
drops below a specified level. If the motor sh ts down by
itself and the f el tank has eno gh gasoline, check motor
oil level.
Step 1: Let motor r ns stable and warm p for a few mi-
n tes after starting.
Step 2: Add p the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to
be connected at one time. This total sho ld not
be greater than the rated wattage/amperage ca-
pacity of the generator or circ it breaker rating of
the receptacle s pplying the power.
Step 3: Pl g in the electrical cons mer(s). The cons -
mers m st be switched off.
Step 4: Switch on the electrical cons mer(s).
ATTENTION
If motor fails to start after 3 p lls, or if nit sh t down
d ring operation, make s re nit is on a level s r-
face and check for proper oil level in crankcase
(Low oil sh t-off).
ATTENTION
- Do not connect electricity cons mers to the genera-
tor whose electrical characteristics are nknown or
whose characteristics differ from those of the gene-
rator (e.g. different voltages and/or freq encies).
- The generator electric circ it is protected by a cir-
c it breaker: Any overloads and/or short circ its will
interr pt the circ it. To reactivate the circ it, re-
move the excess electricity cons mers, determine
the ca se of the short-circ it and/or overload and
switch on the switch again.
- Do not place any objects on the frame or directly on
the motor d ring commissioning of the generator:
any foreign objects co ld iwith proper operation.
- Do not obstr ct the normal vibrations of the alterna-
tor d ring operation. The silent blocks are dimen-
sioned for proper operation.
ATTENTION
If the connected cons mers overheat, switch them
off and disconnect them from the generator.
