Basic notes on operation

!
CAUTION! Beware of injury
Do not insert your fingers or objects into the air nozzles or the intake
grille.
Please note the following basic information:
• Always check the oil level before use (chapter "Checking the oil level" on
page 21).
• Even small overloads in the long-run will cause the cut-out switch to trigger.
• Leave the generator running for a few minutes after use without any consumers
before stopping it.
• Abrupt braking, accelerating and driving round bends in the vehicle can cause
problems in the generator's pump system and lead to unwanted shutdown.
• If you are not using your generator for a longer period of time, start it up at least
every 30 days and leave it running for 15 minutes or more.
