Subsequent use, motor oil check and topping up
WARNING! The check must be carried out with the motor cold.
1.Position the machine on a flat, horizontal surface.
2. Unscrew the oil cap in an anti-clockwise direction (Fig. A Pos. 11).
3. Check the oil level and top up if necessary. The motor oil’s level
must be up to the edge of the filler cap (Fig. C).
4. Tighten the cap by turning it clockwise (Fig. C).
Replacing the motor oil (Fig. C)
Replace the motor oil according to the maintenance instructions.
The motor oil should be replaced when the motor is hot.
The used oil should be disposed of at collection and disposal centres.
1. Position the machine on a flat, horizontal surface.
2. Unscrew the oil cap in an anti-clockwise direction.
3. Place an oil drip tray beneath the motor, in line with the oil drain
cap (Fig. A Pos. 6).
4. Unscrew the oil cap (Fig. A Pos. 6) and remove it together with
the seal.
5. Let all the oil run out.
6. Close the cap, making sure that you replace the seal.
7. Repeat the operations described in the “First use, filling up the
motor oil” paragraph.
Filling up with fuel (Fig. D)
The machine motor is supplied without fuel: fill up the tank before
starting the machine!
Unleaded car petrol should be used. (or eurosuper)
IMPORTANT! Never use diesel, dirty or very old fuel.
Do not allow water or dirt to enter the tank.
Do not use petrol containing alcohol.
IMPORTANT! Risk of fire and explosion.
Fill up the tank with the machine switched off. If the fuel has splashed
onto the machine or floor, dry it up before starting the machine.
1. Open the tank cap (Fig. A Pos. 1), turning it in an anti-clockwise
direction.
2. Fill the tank up. Don’t exceed upper edge of the filter (Fig. D2).
3. Close the tank cap by turning it in a clockwise direction (Fig. D1).
EARTHING OF THE MACHINE
WARNING! Risk of electric shock and electrocution.
WARNING! To prevent electric shock due to defective connected
appliances, the generator must be earthed with a fixed system by
means of the provided terminal (Fig. A pos. 8).
Before carrying out any operation, refer to the “Electrical safety norms”
of these instructions.
To set up this system, contact your electrician. Do not attempt to do it
yourselves.
Do not connect other appliances to this earth return. Appliances that
have an earth cable must be connected to the machine via the sockets
on the electrical board only.
STARTING AND STOPPING OF THE MOTOR (FIG. E)
Make sure that all the parts have been fitted properly, check the solidity
of the assembly and the machine’s stability.
STARTING THE MOTOR
WARNING! Do not connect any appliance to the sockets before
starting the generator. Place the power supply switch on “OFF”
(Fig. A Pos. 9).
1. Open the petrol cock, lever in “ON” position (Fig. E1).
2. Move the motor ON/OFF switch to “ON” (Fig. E2).
3. Place the air valve lever in the closed position (Fig. E3).
4. Pull the start handle until there is resistance and then forcefully
pull in the direction of the arrow (Fig. E4).
WARNING! This precaution is necessary to prevent injury due to
sudden inversion of the motor’s rotation direction.
WARNING! Do not release the handle suddenly. Accompany it to
its original position.
5. After approximately 30”, place the air valve lever on “OPEN”
(Fig. E5).
6. Place the power switch in the “on” (Fig. E6).
MOVING OF THE MACHINE
Lift and move the machine using suitable equipment or the handgrip.
Do not lift or move the machine by brute strength only.
STORE THE MACHINE IN A SAFE PLACE
When not in use, keep the machine in a dry place out of reach of
children.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Only use this machine in the way described in these instructions.
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
Electronic equipment such as televisions, stereo systems, personal
computers, etc., which could be incompatible with this generator
should not be used.
PREPARATION
The machine may be supplied with some components not fitted and
with components that must be checked.
Remove the machine and the components from the packaging.
Visually check their integrity and proceed to assemble as illustrated
in the enclosed sheet. If in doubt, contact your dealer.
TRANSPORT KIT
List of components (Fig. G)
1 Couple of wheels
2 Handles
3 Wheel axle
4 Couple of front supports
5 Rubber plugs
6 Support brackets for wheel axles
7 Screw bag
Transport kit assembly
Fit the wheel axle 3 through the brackets 6 and the screws to the
generator frame from the motor side (Fig. H).
Mount the rubber plugs 5 through supports 4, then secure the sup-
ports to the chassis (Fig. L).
Mount the handles 2 to the generator frame by means of screws
(Fig. M).
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Motor oil (Fig. C)
IMPORTANT! The Motor is supplied without lubricant oil:do not
operate the machine! It needs to be filled up.
IMPORTANT! Each operation indicated below must be carried out
while the motor is off and the motor start switch is in the “STOP”
position (Fig. A Pos. 4).
Use a quality, highly detergent oil for 4T motors, classified under API
categories SG or SF. An SAE 10W-40 oil is suitable for all working
temperatures, but it is always best to choose the oil type on the basis
of the table and average temperatures of the zone.
Oil information:
Working temperature Degree of oil viscosity
From -10°C to 0°C SAE 10W or 10W-30, 10W-40
From 0°C to 25°C SAE 20W or 10W-30, 10W-40
From 25°C to 35°C SAE 30W or 10W-30, 10W-40
Up to 35°C and till to 45°C SAE 40W
First use, filling up the motor oil
1. Place the generator on a flat horizontal surface.
2. Unscrew the oil cap (Fig. A Pos. 11) in an anti-clockwise direction.
3. Fill with the required quantity of quality oil (Fig. C).
4. Check the oil level and top up if necessary. The motor oil’s level
must be up to the edge of the filler cap.
5. Tighten the cap by turning it clockwise.
