- Rimpiazzate bè u tappu di carburante.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Starting u Generator
- Ensure the generator is on a level surface and all electrical devices are disconnected.
- Girate a valvula di carburante in a pusizione "ON".
- Move the choke lever to the 'CHOKE' position (for cold starts). For warm starts, the choke may not be necessary.
- Girate l'interruttore di u mutore in a pusizione "ON".
- Tirate fermamente a maniglia di l'avviamentu à rinculu finu à chì u mutore si accenda.
- Una volta chì u mutore si avvia, spustate pianu pianu a leva di u starter in a pusizione "RUN".
- Lasciate chì u mutore si riscaldi per uni pochi di minuti prima di cunnette i carichi elettrichi.
6.2. Ferma di u generatore
- Disconnect tutti i carichi elettrici da u generatore.
- Lasciate chì u mutore funziona per uni pochi di minuti senza carica per ch'ellu si rinfreschi.
- Girate l'interruttore di u mutore in a pusizione "OFF".
- Girate a valvula di carburante in a pusizione "OFF".
6.3. Modu Eco
