2.7.4 Connection and choice of cables
For all connections, use flexible, strong rubber-sheathed cables which comply with standard IEC 60245-4 or equivalent cables, and
ensure that these are kept in perfect condition. Only use one item of class I electrical equipment per socket and connect up
equipment using a cable equipped with a PE protective conductor (green/yellow); this protective conductor is not required for
class II equipment. Adhere to the cross sections and lengths recommended in this table during installation or when using electrical
extensions.

Key to illustrations
The cover illustrations can be used to identify the various components of the generating set. The procedures in the manual refer to
these illustrations using letters and numbers as identifiers: "A1" refers to the number 1 on figure A.

Switch
The unit may be equipped with the "GS101-Generator Smart Care" option (A17): the Bluetooth GSC101 box
transmits all the information needed to monitor the unit to an application to be installed on your mobile phone; this
includes maintenance dates, a maintenance aid, and the map of approved resellers for any spare parts required.

RISK OF HEARING LOSS
Suitable hearing protection must be worn at all times when the unit is running.
RISK OF POISONING OR EXPLOSION
Respect the local regulations in force concerning the handling of petroleum products. Fill up
when the unit is switched off and the engine cold. Smoking, using a naked flame, producing
sparks and making telephone calls are forbidden when filling the tank. After filling, always
check that the tank's filler cap is properly tightened. Clean any traces of fuel with a clean cloth
and wait until the vapors have dispersed before starting the unit. If the fuel is exposed to high
temperatures for a period of several hours (containers or generating set stored in a vehicle
parked in the sun, for example), harmful vapors could be released causing a risk of poisoning
or of feeling unwell.
The fluids used by the units, such as oils and fuels, are dangerous products. Never inhale or
ingest; avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin.
RISK OF POISONING OR EXPLOSION
Follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations. Only use insulated tools. Keep away
from fire or naked flames. Always ensure adequate ventilation during charging.
