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:
 When operating the generator at low temperatures (< 0 °C) you have to
use winter diesel fuel or you have to add a percentage of petrol to the
diesel oil according to the following table:
Ambient Temperature
–10 to 0 °C
–15 to –10 °C
–20 to –15 °C
 Always check the oil level before use (chapter "Checking the oil level" on
page 19).
 Even small overloads in the long-run will cause the generator to stop.
 Leave the generator running for a few minutes after use without any con-
sumers 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 10 days and leave it running for 15 minutes or more.
