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.
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 engine switch to "OFF" or "O" and close the fuel tap(s), if fitted.
4.1
Positioning the generating set for operation
1.
Choose a site that is clean, well-ventilated and sheltered from bad weather, and which does not obstruct the passage of
vehicles or pedestrians, and store the additional supplies of oil and fuel within close proximity, although respecting a certain
distance for safety.
2.
Set the motor pump down on a flat, horizontal surface which is firm enough to ensure it does not sink (the angle must not
exceed 10° in any direction).
3.
Ensure that the motor pump is stable and cannot move when in operation.
Do not forget that the suction pipe tends to pull the motor pump towards the water source during pumping.
4.
Position the motor pump as close as possible to the liquid to be aspirated.
The shorter the vertical distance between the motor pump and the surface of the liquid, the quicker the priming and the greater the volume
of liquid pumped.
4.2
Checking the motor pump 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 cables are in good condition and 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 fuel level and topping up
1.
Fill up when the unit is switched off and the engine cold.
2.
Unscrew the fuel tank cap (A2-C1).
3.
Visually check the level of fuel.
4.
If necessary, use a mix of unleaded petrol and 2% approved two-stroke oil (2T) to top up.
During the running-in period (approximately the first 20 hours), use a mix with 5 to 6.5% two-stroke oil (2T).
5.
User a funnel to fill the fuel tank, taking care not to spill any fuel.
Do not overfill the tank; there should not be any fuel in the filler neck.
6.
Screw the fuel tank cap back on.
7.
All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
