2. Informazioni sulla sicurezza

Dare sempre priorità alla sicurezza quando si utilizza qualsiasi apparecchiatura elettrica. Il mancato rispetto delle istruzioni di sicurezza può causare lesioni gravi o mortali.

2.1 Pericolo di monossido di carbonio

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Breathing CO can cause nausea, fainting, or death. Operate the generator outdoors only, far away from windows, doors, and vents. Never operate the generator inside any building, garage, basement, crawlspace, or other enclosed or partially enclosed area.

2.2 Sicurezza del carburante

• La benzina è altamente infiammabile e i suoi vapori sono esplosivi.
• Conservare il carburante in un contenitore omologato, in un'area ben ventilata.
• Never refuel a hot or running engine. Allow the generator to cool for at least 15 minutes before refueling.
• Non riempire eccessivamente il serbatoio del carburante.

2.3 Sicurezza elettrica

• Non utilizzare mai il generatore in condizioni di umidità.
• Assicurarsi che tutti i collegamenti elettrici siano sicuri e correttamente messi a terra.
• Do not connect the generator to a building's electrical system unless a qualified electrician has installed a transfer switch.

2.4 Avvertenza sulla Proposta 65

Questo prodotto può esporvi a sostanze chimiche tra cui monossido di carbonio e benzene, note allo Stato della California come causa di cancro e difetti alla nascita o altri danni riproduttivi. Per maggiori informazioni vai su www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

3.2 Aggiunta di olio motore

The engine is shipped without oil. You must add the correct amount of engine oil before starting. Refer to the engine oil specifications in Section 6. Specifications for the recommended oil type and capacity.

1. Posizionare il generatore su una superficie piana.
2. Rimuovere il tappo di riempimento/astina di livello dell'olio.
3. Using the provided oil funnel, slowly add the recommended engine oil until it reaches the upper mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
4. Richiudere saldamente il tappo di riempimento/astina di livello dell'olio.

3.3 Aggiunta di carburante

Utilizzare solo benzina senza piombo fresca con un numero di ottano pari o superiore a 87. Non utilizzare carburante E85.

1. Assicurarsi che il generatore sia spento e freddo.
2. Svitare il tappo del carburante.
3. Carefully pour gasoline into the fuel tank, ensuring not to overfill. The tank capacity is 0.9 gallons.
4. Richiudere saldamente il tappo del serbatoio.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

Follow these steps to safely start and operate your FIRMAN W01781 Inverter Portable Generator.

4.1 Avviamento del generatore (avviamento a strappo)

1. Ensure the generator is on a level outdoor surface, away from any obstructions.
2. Ruotare la valvola del carburante in posizione 'ON'.
3. Move the choke lever to the 'CHOKE' position (cold start). For warm starts, the choke may not be necessary.
4. Ruotare l'interruttore del motore in posizione 'ON'.
5. Firmly grasp the recoil starter handle and pull it slowly until you feel resistance, then pull quickly and smoothly to start the engine.
6. Una volta avviato il motore, spostare lentamente la leva dello starter in posizione "RUN".

4.2 Collegamento di dispositivi elettrici

Your generator features multiple outlets, including 120V AC 20A duplex outlets, a 12V DC 5A outlet, and USB ports. Ensure the total wattage dei dispositivi collegati non superi la potenza di funzionamento del generatoretage(1700W).

4.3 Funzionamento in modalità Eco

The Eco Mode switch allows the engine to automatically adjust its speed to match the load, improving fuel efficiency and reducing noise levels. For light loads, activate Eco Mode. For heavy loads or when starting high-demand appliances, turn Eco Mode off.

4.4 Funzionamento in parallelo

The FIRMAN W01781 is parallel capable, allowing you to connect two identical units to almost double your available power. This requires a FIRMAN parallel kit (sold separately). Refer to the parallel kit's instruction manual for detailed connection procedures.

4.5 Arresto del generatore

1. Scollegare tutti i carichi elettrici dal generatore.
2. Portare l'interruttore del motore in posizione "OFF".
3. Ruotare la valvola del carburante in posizione 'OFF'.

5. Manutenzione

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your generator. Always refer to the full owner's manual for detailed maintenance schedules and procedures.

5.1 Cambio dell'olio motore

Change the engine oil after the first 20 hours of operation, and then every 100 hours or annually thereafter. Use the recommended oil type (refer to specifications).

5.2 Manutenzione del filtro dell'aria

Inspect the air filter regularly and clean or replace it as needed, especially in dusty conditions. A dirty air filter can reduce engine performance and increase fuel consumption.

5.3 Ispezione della candela

Inspect the spark plug annually or every 100 hours. Clean or replace if necessary. Ensure the correct gap is maintained.

5.4 Conservazione

For extended storage, drain the fuel system completely or add a fuel stabilizer. Change the engine oil and clean the generator thoroughly. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area.
