4.2. Col·locació
Place the generator on a firm, level surface outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Ensure there is at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) of clear space around the generator to allow for proper airflow and exhaust dissipation. Never operate the generator indoors or in partially enclosed spaces.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1. Arrencada del motor
- Ensure the generator is on a level surface and the fuel tank is filled with the correct 50:1 fuel mixture.
- Moveu l'interruptor del motor a la posició "ON".
- Moveu la palanca de l'estrangulador a la posició "CHOKE" (per a arrencades en fred).
- Pull the recoil starter handle firmly and steadily until the engine starts. Do not let the rope snap back.
- Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the "RUN" position. If the engine falters, move the choke lever back slightly until it runs smoothly, then slowly move it to "RUN".
