Remove the blanking caps.
Refill the electrolyte cells (upper level: 10 to 15 mm above the plates), and refit the blanking caps.
Note: The electrolyte is stored in a tray (18) underneath the generating set.
Leave the battery resting for 30 minutes. Top up the electrolyte levels.
Advice: Use a clean, wooden stick to check the electrolyte level.
Check the battery charge status using an acidimeter.
Note down the concentration level (reading on the acidimeter) and compare it with the table below.
To calculate the average level of electrolyte concentration, add the values given on the acidimeter together and divide the total by the number of samples
drawn.
The calculated value will indicate the charge status of the battery. Recharge if necessary.
3.2. Checking the oil level (diagram A)
Always check the motor oil level before starting.
Checking and topping up should be carried out with the generating set on a horizontal surface.
Open the enclosure double panel.
Remove oil filler cap / dipstick (3) and wipe the dipstick.
Insert the dipstick into the filler spout.
Check the level and top it up if necessary.
Fill the oil sump to the top using a funnel.
Insert the cap fully into the filler tube.
Check that there are no leaks.
Wipe off the excess oil with a clean cloth then close the enclosure panel again.
3.3. Checking the fuel level (diagram A)
Stop the motor before filling up with fuel and fill up in a well-ventilated area.
Do not smoke, or bring naked flames or sparks near to the area where you are filling up with fuel or where the fuel is stored.
Only use clean fuel without any water.
Do not overfill the tank (there should not be any fuel in the filler neck).
Danger
When you have filled up, ensure that the tank cap is closed correctly.
Take care not to spill any fuel when filling the tank.
Before starting up the generating set, and if any fuel has been spilt, make sure that it has dried and that the vapours have cleared away.
Check the fuel level using filling gauge "E/F" located near cap (2) and top up if necessary:
Unscrew cap (2) on fuel tank.
Fill tank using a funnel, taking care not to spill any fuel.
Screw the cap back on to the fuel tank.
3.4. Checking the starter battery
Never place the battery close to a flame or fire
Use only insulated tools
Never use sulphuric acid or acid water to top up the electrolyte level.
Danger
Ensure that the battery "-" terminal is connected to the circuit correctly.
3.5. Earthing the generating set
To earth the generating set, use a 10 mm2 copper wire attached to the generating set earth connection and to an earthing rod of galvanised steel set in the
ground to a depth of 1 metre. This also dissipates the static electricity that builds up in the electrical machines.
3.6. Positioning the generating set for operation
Place the generating set on a flat, horizontal surface which is firm enough to prevent the set sinking down (under no circumstances should the set tilt any
direction by more than 10°).
Choose a site that is clean, well-ventilated and sheltered from bad weather, and store the additional supplies of oil and fuel within close proximity, although
respecting a certain distance for safety.
