The generator is shipped without engine oil. You must add the correct type and amount of oil before starting.

1. Col·loqueu el generador sobre una superfície plana.
2. Localitzeu el tap/vareta d'ompliment d'oli.
3. Remove the cap and carefully add the recommended engine oil (refer to specifications for oil type and capacity). Do not overfill.
4. Torneu a col·locar el tap d'ompliment d'oli de manera segura.

Figure 4.1: Icon representing engine oil. Always ensure proper oil levels for optimal generator performance and longevity.

4.3 Afegir combustible

Feu servir gasolina nova sense plom amb un octanatge de 87 o superior.

1. Assegureu-vos que el generador estigui apagat i fred.
2. Obriu el tap de combustible.
3. Carefully pour gasoline into the fuel tank, avoiding overfilling. Leave space for fuel expansion.
4. Tanqueu bé la tapa del dipòsit de combustible.

5. Funcionament

5.1 Arrencada del generador
