2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger
ADVARSEL: Manglende overholdelse af disse sikkerhedsinstruktioner kan resultere i alvorlig personskade eller død.
- Kuliltefare: Generators produce carbon monoxide (CO), an odorless, colorless, and poisonous gas. Operate the generator outdoors only, far away from windows, doors, and vents. Never operate in an enclosed area.
- CO-sensor: This generator is equipped with a Carbon Monoxide (CO) sensor that automatically shuts down the engine if unsafe levels of CO are detected. Do not disable or bypass this safety feature. If the CO sensor activates, move the generator to a well-ventilated area and allow it to clear before restarting.
- Brandfare: Gasoline and propane are highly flammable. Store fuel in approved containers in a well-ventilated area. Do not refuel while the engine is running or hot. Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
- Fare for elektrisk stød: Do not operate the generator in wet conditions. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and properly grounded. Never touch bare wires or receptacles with wet hands.
- Varme overflader: Generatorens motor og lyddæmper bliver meget varme under drift og forbliver varme i et stykke tid efter nedlukning. Undgå kontakt for at forhindre forbrændinger.
- Korrekt jording: Always ground the generator properly before use to prevent electrical shock. Refer to local electrical codes for grounding requirements.
- Børn og kæledyr: Hold altid børn og kæledyr væk fra generatoren.

4. Opsætning
4.1 Udpakning
Tag forsigtigt generatoren ud af emballagen. Undersøg den for eventuelle transportskader. Gem emballagen til senere opbevaring eller transport.
4.2 Påfyldning af motorolie
The generator is shipped without engine oil. Before first use, add the recommended amount and type of oil. Refer to the engine section of this manual for oil specifications and capacity. Do not overfill.
4.3 Brændstofpåfyldning af generatoren
- Benzin: Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Fill the fuel tank carefully, avoiding spills. Do not fill above the red indicator line.
- Propan (LPG): Connect the provided propane hose with regulator to a standard propane tank and to the generator's LPG inlet. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
WARNING: Never mix oil with gasoline. Always refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool.
4.4 Jordforbindelse af generatoren
Connect a ground wire from the generator's ground terminal to a suitable earth ground (e.g., a ground rod). Consult local electrical codes for specific grounding requirements.
5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1 Start af generatoren
- Ensure the generator is on a level surface and properly grounded.
- Afbryd alle elektriske belastninger fra generatoren.
- Select the desired fuel type using the Brændstofvælgerkontakt (Gas or LPG).
- Drej på Motorafbryder to the 'ON' position.
- If starting on gasoline, pull the choke lever to the 'CHOKE' position (if engine is cold).
- Træk fast i håndtaget til rekylstarteren, indtil motoren starter.
- Once the engine starts, slowly push the choke lever back to the 'RUN' position (if used).
- Allow the engine to run for a few minutes to warm up before connecting electrical loads.
5.2 Standsning af generatoren
- Afbryd alle elektriske belastninger fra generatoren.
- Drej på Motorafbryder to the 'OFF' position.
- Hvis du bruger propan, skal du lukke ventilen på propantanken.
5.3 Using ECO Mode
De Økonomi Switch allows the generator to adjust engine speed to match the load, improving fuel efficiency and reducing noise. To activate, turn the Economy Switch to 'ON'. For full power output or when starting high-load appliances, turn the Economy Switch to 'OFF'.
