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 oil dipstick/filler plug (A2-B1) by unscrewing it, and wipe the dipstick.
3.
Insert the oil dipstick/filler plug in the filler neck (B2) without tightening it, then take it out 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, use a funnel to top up the tank (using oil that complies with the specifications in the
manual), then screw the oil filler plug back in.
If the oil level is too high: drain some of the oil into a suitable container.
5.
Check the level again before screwing the oil dipstick/filler plug back in fully.
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
1.
Fill up when the unit is switched off and the engine cold.
2.
Unscrew the fuel tank cap (A3).
3.
Visually check the level of fuel.
4.
If necessary, fill the fuel tank using a funnel, taking care not to spill any fuel.
Do not overfill the tank; there should not be any fuel in the filler neck.
5.
Screw the fuel tank cap back on.
6.
All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
4.5
Starting the generating set
1.
For units equipped with a noise deflector (A4), swivel this forward.
2.
Open the fuel tap (A5)
3.
If the outside temperature is low or if the unit is cold, place the choke (A6) in the "
4.
Move the switch (A7) to "
5.
Slowly pull the starter-recoil reel handle (A8) until there is some resistance, then let it return gently.
6.
Then pull the starter-recoil reel handle quickly and sharply until the engine starts.
If the engine does not start, wait one minute before repeating the process no more than three times.
7.
For units equipped with a noise deflector, return it to its original position.
4.6
Using the electricity supplied
1.
Allow the unit speed to stabilize and the temperature to rise (approx. 3 to 5 min.).
2.
If the starter (A6) is used, gradually return it to its original position.
Connect the equipment to be used to the electrical sockets (A9) on the unit.
3.
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).
4.7
Switching the generating set off
1.
Disconnect the equipment used, taking care to close the cover for the unit's sockets (A9).
2.
For units equipped with a noise deflector (A4), swivel this forward.
3.
Allow the unit to run idle for 1 or 2 minutes.
4.
Set the switch (A7) to "OFF" or "O ": the unit will shut down.
5.
Close the fuel tap (A5).
6.
For units equipped with a noise deflector, return it to its original position.
7.
Ensure the unit is properly ventilated and to avoid any risk of fire, wait for it to be fully cool before covering it and storing it.
Even when the unit is turned off, the engine continues to give off heat.
4.8
Checking the fluid retention container
Some electrical generating set models are equipped with the retention container option which is used to recover any outflow of the
fluids contained in the electrical generating sets (fuel, oil and coolant, if present).
After the electrical generating set has been used and switched off, check that there are no fluids (fuel, oil, coolant, rain water or
condensation, etc.) in the retention container. If necessary, drain the container using a vacuum device and transfer the contents to a
suitable container. The fluids used in electrical generating sets are classed as toxic waste and must be processed according to the
applicable regulations.
