Important information:
The fuel disintegrates when it is stored for more than 30 days. Degraded fuel causes acid
deposition and rubber residues in the fuel circuit or on essential parts of the carburettor. To keep
the fuel in good condition, use a fuel stabilizer. Use Ethanol Free gasoline where possible.
When you add a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If the tank is only partially filled,
the air inside promotes fuel degradation during storage. When storing a refueling jerrycan, make
sure that it only contains fresh fuel.
Unleaded gasoline
The United States
Pump octane rating of at least 86
Except The United States
Research octane number of at least 91
Pump octane rating of at least 86
Procedure for adding fuel stabilizer to prolong the storage duration:
1. Add the stabilizer by following the manufacturer’s instructions 10ml per litre of fuel.
2. After having added the fuel stabilizer, let the engine run outside for 10 minutes to be sure that
the treated fuel has replaced the existing fuel in the carburettor.
3. Stop the engine and if the tank is equipped with a fuel cock, place it on the closed position.

Oil warning light:
The Oil Alert system protects the motor against damage
due to the lack of oil in the engine crankcase. Before the
engine crankcase oil level drops below a security threshold,
the Oil Alert warning light (red) will light up and the Oil
Alert system automatically stops the engine (the engine
power switch remains in the ON position).
If the engine stops and will not restart, check:
1. The engine oil level See § 7.3
2. That the engine is not in a sloped use configuration
of more than 20°.
Hour meter:
It counts the elapsed time of use of the engine after start
up.

6 COMMISSIONING INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 Fan stabilization for the trailer version
On the trailer version, the central rear strut is for stabilising the trailer on sloped or uneven ground.
Its installation is essential to avoid the device tipping over when using the lift.
Check that the engine is not tilted more than 20° in order not trigger the low oil
security mechanism (Oil alert).
1: Make sure that the handbrake is firmly applied on the trailer versions
2: Pull the red handle, the strut will rotate toward the ground.
3: Stabilize the fan by adjusting the strut by using the crank provided in the box.
6.2 Starting the engine
•Check the fuel levels and engine oil before commissioning.
•Circuit breaker "ON".
•Check that the STOP button on the remote control is not pressed.
(Rotate the button to unlock).
•Adjust the desired tilt and lift by using the joysticks.
•Check that the "Ready to Start" indicator light of the remote control is green.
•Check that the valve under the fuel tank is in the OPEN position before starting the engine.

➢To start a cold engine, pull the choke pull knob on the
CLOSED position.
➢To start a warm engine, push the choke knob in.
➢Move the throttle lever from the MIN position.
To approximately 1/3 from the MAX position.
➢Place the key in the engine switch.
(A set of 2 keys is provided with the fan).
➢Turn the engine start key to the ON position.
➢Continue to turn the key in a clockwise direction to
the start position to activate the starter motor.
Place the key to the START position and hold it in this
position until the engine starts.
At the first start-up or following a fuel failure, it is normal that the engine does not start
after 5 seconds; this is due to priming the fuel pump.
In other cases, if the engine does not start within 5 seconds, release the key and wait at
least 10 seconds before activating the starter again.
When the engine starts, release the key; it should return to the ON position.
After start-up:
➢Warm up the engine at low speed for 2 or 3 minutes.
➢If the starter is on the CLOSED position, push it progressively to the OPEN position as the engine
heats up.
➢Gradually increase the speed using the throttle lever.

6.3 Stopping the fan
In an emergency situation to stop the EASY 2000, push the emergency stop
of the Remote console.
To stop the fan according to the standard procedure:
➢Decrease the engine speed to the minimum by placing the gas control lever on the MIN position.
➢Using the key, place the engine switch on the OFF position, the engine must stop.
➢Close the valve of the fuel tank.
➢Bring the tilt to 0°.

6.4 Gasoline failure
After a gasoline failure, you must re-prime the fuel pump by using the following procedure:
Activate the starter. If the engine does not start within 5 seconds, release the key and wait at least
10 seconds before activating the starter again. This is due to priming the fuel pump.
When the engine starts, release the key; it should return to the ON position.
6.5 Recharging the battery
The EASY2000 is fitted with a socket for recharging the battery.
In order to ensure a sufficient charge level, it is recommended to recharge the battery once a month.
A charger is provided with the fan. The charger can be maintained connected without any time limit
6.6 Misting
The misting system must be supplied with water after the engine is started. On the versions with lift,
the fan will need to be raised before the water is supplied. The connection is delivered in male thread
1"1/2BSP.
