DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
M

REV.0-03/14
The generating set is a unit which transforms the mechanical energy, generated by endothermic engine,
into electric energy, through an alternator.
The assembling is made on a steel structure, on which are provided elastic support which must damp the
vibrations and also eliminate sounds which would produce noise.
The unit has a protective closed frame which protects it against unintentional impacts during the handling
and /or transport, the front panel is completely wrapped by the structure so that the components are pro-
tected. The fuel tank and battery starter complete the main parts of the machine.

OUTPUT
Declared power according to ISO 8528-1 (temperature 25°C, 30% relative humidity, altitude 100 m above sea level).
(*Stand-by) = maximum available power for use at variable loads for a yearly number of hours limited at 500 h. No overload is
admitted.
(**Prime power P.R.P.) = maximum available power for use at variable loads for a yearly illimited number of hours. The average
power to be taken during a period of 24 h must not be over 80% of the P.R.P
.
It’s admitted overload of 10% each hour every 12 h.
In an approximative way one reduces: of 1% every 100 m altitude and of 2.5% for every 5°C above 25°C.
ACOUSTIC POWER LEVEL
ATTENTION: The concrete risk due to the machine depends on the conditions in which it is used. Therefore, it is up to the end-
user and under his direct responsibility to make a correct evaluation of the same risk and to adopt specic precautions (for
instance, adopting a I.P.D. -Individual Protection Device)
Acoustic Noise Level (LWA) - Measure Unit dB(A): it stands for acoustic noise released in a certain delay of time. This is not
submitted to the distance of measurement.
Acoustic Pressure (Lp) - Measure Unit dB(A): it measures the pressure originated by sound waves emission. Its value changes
in proportion to the distance of measurement.
The here below table shows examples of acoustic pressure (Lp) at different distances from a machine with Acoustic Noise Level
(LWA) of 95 dB(A)
Lp a 1 meter = 95 dB(A) - 8 dB(A) = 87 dB(A) Lp a 7 meters = 95 dB(A) - 25 dB(A) = 70 dB(A)
Lp a 4 meters = 95 dB(A) - 20 dB(A) = 75 dB(A) Lp a 10 meters = 95 dB(A) - 28 dB(A) = 67 dB(A)
PLEASE NOTE: the symbol when with acoustic noise values, indicates that the device respects noise emission limits
according to 2000/14/CE directive.

LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDED OIL
MOSA recommends selecting AGIP engine oil.
Refer to the label on the motor for the recommended
products.
Please refer to the motor operating manual for the
recommended viscosity.
REFUELLING AND CONTROL:
Carry out refuelling and controls with motor at level
position.
1. Remove the oil-ll tap (24)
2. Pour oil and replace the tap
3. Check the oil level using the dipstick (23); the oil
level must be comprised between the minimum
and maximum indicators.
AIR FILTER
Check that the dry air lter is correctly installed and
that there are no leaks around the lter which could
lead to inltrations of non-ltered air to the inside of
the motor.
BATTERY WITHOUT MAINTENANCE
Connect the cable + (positive)
to the pole + (positive) of the
battery (after having taken
away the protection), by
properly tightening the clamp.
Check the state of the battery
from the colour of the warning light which is in the
upper part.
- Green colour: battery OK
- Black colour: battery to be recharged
- White colour: battery to be replaced
DO NOT OPEN THE BATTERY.
FUEL
Rell the tank with good quality diesel fuel, such as
automobile type diesel fuel, for example.
For further details on the type of diesel fuel to use,
see the motor operating manual supplied.
Do not ll the tank completely; leave a space of
approx. 10 mm between the fuel level and the wall
of the tank to allow for expansion.
In rigid environmental temperature conditions, use
special winterized diesel fuels or specic additives
in order to avoid the formation of parafn.
ATTENTION
Do not smoke or use open ames during
refuelling operations, in order to avoid
explosions or re hazards.
Fuel fumes are highly toxic; carry out
operations outdoors only, or in a well-
ventilated environment.
Avoid accidentally spilling fuel. Clean
any eventual leaks before starting up
motor.
!
ATTENTION
It is dangerous to ll the motor with too much oil,
as its combustion can provoke a sudden increase
in rotation speed.
