2. Інформація про безпеку

Завжди ставте безпеку на перше місце під час роботи з генератором. Недотримання інструкцій з техніки безпеки може призвести до серйозних травм або смерті.

• Небезпека чадного газу (CO): Generators produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Operate the generator outdoors only, far away from windows, doors, and vents. The LF4800iE is equipped with a CO-MINDER sensor for added safety, which will shut down the generator if CO levels become dangerous.
• Небезпека пожежі: Gasoline is highly flammable. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool. Do not smoke near the generator.
• Небезпека ураження електричним струмом: Не використовуйте генератор у вологих умовах. Переконайтеся, що всі з'єднання надійно закріплені та сухі.
• Гарячі поверхні: Двигун генератора та глушник сильно нагріваються під час роботи та залишаються гарячими ще деякий час після вимкнення. Уникайте дотику до гарячих поверхонь.
• Правильна вентиляція: Ensure adequate airflow around the generator during operation to prevent overheating.
• Діти та домашні тварини: Завжди тримайте дітей і домашніх тварин подалі від генератора.
• Прочитайте інструкцію: Always read the complete owner's manual before initial use and for any operational or maintenance procedures.

3. Налаштування

Before starting your generator for the first time, proper setup is crucial. This includes adding engine oil and fuel, and connecting the battery.

3.1. Додайте моторне масло

The generator does not come with engine oil pre-filled. You must add the correct type and amount of oil before first use.

1. Place the generator on a horizontal surface.
2. Unscrew the bolts on the side cover and remove the cover to access the engine oil dipstick.
3. Unscrew and remove the oil dipstick.
4. Using the provided funnel, add 0.5 liters of recommended engine oil (e.g., 10W-40).
5. Use the oil dipstick to check the oil level. The oil level should be between the upper and lower scales on the dipstick.
6. Screw the oil dipstick back in and reattach the side cover.

1. First, unscrew the fuel cap.
2. Fill up the proper amount of fuel (up to 10 liters) using a funnel.
3. Observe the fuel indicator; the fuel level should be under the red line.
4. Then tighten the fuel tank cap.
5. Rotate the breather on the fuel cap to the "ON" position.
