8. Operation

8.1 Starting the engine (Fig. 4 - 5)
Attention! This generator can only be started when
the battery is connected!
• Fuel tap switch (8) on position "ON" (Fig. 4)
• Set the start, stop switch (10) to the "RUN (I)" po-
sition.
• You now have three options for starting the gen-
erator.
- Set the start, stop switch to the Start (II) posi-
tion.
- Use the enclosed remote control (D) to start the
generator, to do so, press the "ON" button.
- Use the recoil starter (6) to start the engine; to
do so, pull the handle forcefully. Move the recoil
started back to the original position carefully
and slowly. If the engine does not start, pull on
the handle again.

8.2 Switching off the engine

• Let the generator run briefly without load before
you turn it off, so that the aggregate can "recooling"
• Press the "OFF" button on the remote control (D) or
set the start, stop switch to the "STOP" position (O).
• Move the Fuel tap switch to position "OFF".
Indicator lights
Oil warning light (A)
Display is active at low oil level and deactivated when
sufficient oil level.
Overload indicator (B)
Overload protection is active at too high a power
take-off - Turns off 230 V sockets (16).
Turn off the unit (see section 8.2).
Connected devices from separate generator. The unit
(see section 8.1).
Operating display (C)
Power indicator active - when the engine is running.
8.3 Energy saving switch (9)
If the energy saving switch is switched to the "ON" (
) position, the engine runs automatically at idle
unless a consumer is connected. If a consumer is
connected, the engine returns to its full speed. This
setting is recommended to minimise the fuel con-
sumption.
Attention!
Set the energy saving switch (9) to the "OFF" position
( ) if a high power device is connected or if several
devices are connected. Then wait until the genera-
tor has absorbed the load, switch the energy saving
switch on as required.
