3.2
Initial commissioning
On taking delivery and commissioning the unit:
1.
Check that it is complete and not damaged in any way.
2.
If the unit is fitted with a transport bracket, remove it.
The transport bracket is a metal plate located underneath the engine, close to the earth terminal.
Although useful for transportation, it will prevent optimum operation of the unit (noise, vibration).
To remove it: lift the unit slightly and place it on a block then remove the nut (1) and the clamp (2).
3.
Check the oil and fuel levels and top them up if necessary.
4.
If necessary, connect the battery, starting with the positive terminal.
Observe the polarity of the battery terminals when connecting it: as this could cause serious damage to the electrical equipment.
Some units require a running-in period. Contact your nearest agent for more information.
3.3
Installing the battery
1.
Connect the red wire to the positive battery terminal (+) (A2).
2.
Connect the black wire to the negative battery terminal (-).
Before using the unit, always:
1.
Check that the unit is correctly installed and that it is ready to start.
2.
Make sure you have understood all of the operating procedures.
To stop the unit in an emergency: turn the key to the "OFF" position and close the fuel tap(s), if fitted.
4.1
Positioning the generating set for operation
DANGER
1.
Choose a site that is clean, well ventilated and sheltered from bad weather.
2.
Position the unit on a flat horizontal surface that has sufficient load-bearing capacity to prevent it from sinking.
The units are designed for stationary operation: they must not be installed on a vehicle or other mobile equipment unless a study taking
into account the different specific requirements for use of the unit has been carried out.
3.
Check that the angle of the unit, in all directions, does not exceed 10°.
4.2
Checking the welding 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 (A3-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 (B2) 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.

RISK OF POISONING - CARBON MONOXIDE
DANGER OF DEATH
Carbon monoxide is invisible, odorless and non-irritating and can cause death in less than an hour.
Always use the unit in a well ventilated area where the gases cannot accumulate.
In the event of headache, nausea or vomiting: stop the unit immediately, ventilate and evacuate the
area and call for help.
