4.2
Check the generating set is in a good general condition (bolts, hoses)
Inspect the entire unit before start-up and after each use to prevent any faults or damage.
1.
Check that the unit is clean, in particular the air intake zones (engine air intake, air vents, air filter, etc.).
2.
Check all of the unit's pipes and hoses to ensure they are in good condition and that there are no leaks.
Pipes or hoses must be replaced by a specialist technician. Please contact your nearest agent.
3.
Tighten any loose bolts.
The cylinder head bolts must be retightened by a specialist technician. Please contact your nearest agent.
4.3
Checking the engine oil level and topping up
1.
If the unit has been used, leave to cool for at least 30 minutes.
2.
Remove the dipstick (A5-B1) and wipe it clean.
3.
Reinsert the dipstick then remove it again.
4.
Visually check the level: it must be between the upper limit (B3) and lower limit (B4) on the dipstick.
If the oil level is too low: open the oil filler cap (
If the oil level is too high: drain some of the oil into a suitable container.
5.
Check the level again before screwing the dipstick back in.
6.
Check that there are no oil leaks, and wipe away any traces of oil with a clean cloth.
4.4
Checking the fuel level and topping up
With the unit on a flat, level surface, visually inspect the fuel level on the indicator (A7): the red marker on the indicator should be
between the maximum level (F = full) and the minimum level (E = empty). If necessary, fill with fuel:
1.
Fill up when the unit is switched off and the engine cold.
2.
Unscrew the fuel tank cap (A8).
3.
Fill the fuel tank using a funnel, taking care not to spill any fuel and checking the level at regular intervals: the fuel level
indicator must be at position "F".
Do not overfill the tank; there should not be any fuel in the filler neck.
4.
Carefully tighten the fuel tank cap.
5.
All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
4.5
Checking the condition of the air filter
1.
Unlock the air filter cover (D1) and remove it.
2.
Remove the filter element (D2), tap it on a hard, flat surface then check carefully that it is in good condition: it must not be
clogged, blocked, torn or have holes in it.
3.
Replace the filter element if necessary.
4.
Refit the air filter cover and lock it.
4.6
Starting the generating set
Once the daily checks have been performed, and having read the instructions and safety regulations carefully:
1.
Open the fuel tap (A4-C1).
2.
Turn the key (A3) to the "ON" position: all the indicator lights on the APM202 (A10) light up briefly.
3.
Press the "START" button once: after a few seconds, the unit starts.
The APM202 automatically performs 3 starting attempts. If the unit does not start, repeat the procedure once only.
4.7
Using the electricity supplied
1.
Allow the unit speed to stabilize and the temperature to rise (approx. 3 to 5 min.).
2.
If the choke was used, return it gradually to its original position.
3.
Connect the equipment to be used to the electrical sockets (A12) on the unit.
4.
Use the working hours counter (A13) to monitor the running time of the unit.
For France only: Our units are fitted with sockets where the earthing contact is made using side tabs.
In exceptional cases where the equipment is only fitted with an earthing pin, use an adaptor. After use,
always disconnect the adaptor and store it carefully, away from sources of moisture. Always ensure
that the socket cover on the unit is closed: risk of damage (loss of seal).
4.8
Switching the generating set off
1.
Disconnect the equipment used, taking care to close the cover for the unit's sockets (A12).
2.
Allow the unit to run idle for 1 or 2 minutes.
3.
Turn the key (A3) to the "OFF" position: the unit will shut down.
4.
Close the fuel tap (A4-C1).
5.
Ensure the unit is properly ventilated and to avoid any risk of fire, wait for it to be fully cool (at least 30 minutes) before
covering it and storing it.
Even when the unit is turned off, the engine continues to give off heat.
As a safety measure, maintenance should be performed on the generating set regularly and carefully by people who have the
necessary experience and are equipped with suitable tools, in respect of current regulations. The maintenance operations to be
carried out are detailed in the maintenance table. The interval for this is supplied as a guide and for generating sets operating with
fuel and oil which conform to the specifications given in this manual. The maintenance intervals can be shortened depending on the
generating set's operating conditions and requirements. It is important to note that the warranty shall not be valid if generating set
maintenance has not be performed correctly.
