Do not leave the engine idling for more than 5 minutes
Avoid using a continuous speed between 3500 and 4500 rpm to protect unit
from vibration.
The exhaust system remains very hot after use
Starting up
Before starting up, make sure the trailer is in a stable position that its brake is on and the wheel blocks are in place.
On uneven ground, use stabiliser stands (see 4.6).
•Check the fuel and motor oil levels before starting up.
•Check that the emergency stop is not pushed down (it is unlocked by rotating it).
•Check that the fuel primer valve [17] is on “ON” position.
•Put the battery cut-off switch [1] on “1”: The control panel should illuminate.
•Adjust the required angle and elevation using the joysticks [11] and [12].
•Check that all indicators [13], [14] and [15] are green.
•Put the accelerator [9] at... minimum.
•Turn the ignition [2] to “ON” after having lifted the cover.
•Press the starter [3] for a maximum of 5 seconds.
•Once the engine has started, make sure the oil pressure indicator is green and that the pressure on the dial
[10] is sufficient (approx. 6 bar (87Psi)).
•In order to protect the engine, only increase engine power once the temperature [8] has reached 50°C (122°F).
The engine speed must be between 1300 rpm (±100) when idling on a cold engine and 6900 rpm (±100) at full power.
Stopping
•Reduce the engine speed to the minimum [9].
•Turn the ignition [2] to “OFF”.The engine should stop.
•Adjust the angle [11] and elevation [12] to “0”.
•Put the battery cut-off switch [1] on “0”.
•Let the engine cool for a few minutes.
•Stow the accessories (exhaust duct, wheel blocks, etc.).

Connecting the remote control deactivates the slope, elevation and engine power
controls on the main console.
Never connect or disconnect the remote control. when the motor is running.
Remote control
The remote-control option allows the EASY 4000 to be remotely controlled. It is fitted with a 13m cable. The use of
this accessory makes it possible to adjust the slope, the elevation and the engine speed. After having connected the
remote control, these 3 functions are no longer active on the main console. The "STOP" command on the remote
control makes it possible to turn off the motor.
1-Slope: Used to change the angle from -10° to +20°.
2-Elevation: Used to raise and lower the ventilator (option).
3-Engine power: Used to regulate the ventilator speed.
4-Stopping the motor: Used to stop the engine using the remote control. Unlike the console emergency stop, it
will not stop the slope or elevation controls.
Setting up
•Connect the remote control to the connector near the console
•Check that the "STOP" button has not been pushed
•Set the engine power to the minimum on the remote control and the console
•Resume the start-up procedure (see.4.2)
Run out of petrol
After a run out of fuel, you must priming the fuel pump following the procedure:
•Check the fuel and motor oil levels before starting up.
•Check that the emergency stop is not pushed down (it is unlocked by rotating it).
•Put the battery cut-off switch [1] on “1”: The control panel should illuminate.
•Put the priming valve [17] on “FUEL PRIMER”.
•Turn the ignition [2] to “ON” after having lifted the cover and turn off it after 4 seconds.
•Begin again 3 times.
•Put the priming valve [17] on “ON”.
•Turn the ignition [2] to “ON” after having lifted the cover and turn off it after 4 seconds.
•Begin again 3 times.
•Doing the starting up procedure (see.4.2).

Atomisation
Misting/Atomisation must only be connected after the engine has
started. On versions with elevation, the ventilator must be raised
before the water supply is turned on.
The connection is supplied with a male 1"1/2BSP threading.
Wheel block
On the trailer version, 4 wheel blocks are shipped with your
ventilator. It is imperative to install them before starting up.
They guarantee that the ventilator is immobilised if the hand
brake fails.
Suction duct
It is imperative to install it before starting.
3 fixing hooks are provided on the rear grid for attachment of the
suction duct.
Duct blow
It is imperative to install it before starting.
Straps with hooks are provided on the discharge duct for
attachment to the ends of the rear gate.
Rear stabiliser stand
On the trailer version rear stands are provided to stabilise
the trailer on sloping ground. They must be installed to avoid the
appliance tipping over when elevation is used.

Levels
Frequency: Before each start-up.
Motor oil level:
The motor oil level is visible in the
porthole located to the rear right of the
engine.
The oil level must be between the
bottom and top of the red circle. It must
be checked on a cold engine at least
5 minutes after it has been stopped. The
hotter the engine, the higher the level
will be.
Oil top-up is done via the top of the
right cylinder. Top-ups should be made
on a cold engine. Use the BMW wrench
(ref: 2005749) to open the tank cap.
Filling the fuel tank:
The fuel level is checked on the control panel screen.
Never remove the motor oil tank cap when the motor is hot. Wait for at least 25
minutes after stopping the engine.

The potentiometer adjustments must be made on a stopped engine.
INSTALL THE SAFETY DEVICE SHIPPED WITH THE TABLE IN THE HOLES IN
THE LOWER RAILS WHEN IT IS RAISED.
Adjusting the engine speed
Frequency: Every 50 hours.
An electric cylinder controls the engine speed.
Engine speed is adjusted using its control which is located on the control panel.
Idling speed on a hot engine at 2000rpm:
•Check the engine idling speed.
•After having stopped the engine, adjusted.
the idling adjustment potentiometer.
•Restart the engine to check the adjustment.
Maximum speed to be adjusted on a hot engine at 6800rpm:
•Check that the engine speed is on full power.
•After having stopped the engine, adjusted the max speed adjustment
potentiometer.
•Restart the engine to check the adjustment.
NB: the engine's ECU (Electronic control unit) limits the speed to 7000rpm.
At this speed the engine can misfire. It is therefore imperative not to exceed it.
CLEANING THE RADIATOR
Frequency: Every 50 hours.
When using in a very smoky environment, the frequency of cleaning needs
to be increased.
2 oil radiators are located in the engine underside structure.
•Remove the casing under the engine (see.5.2).
•Clean the radiator using a compressed air nozzle.
Elevation (Option)
Frequency: Every 50 hours.
•Put the table in the high position.
•Remove the upper part of the bellows with the table (see.5.2).
