4SAFETYDEVICES
The generator has been equipped with a setof safety
devices in case ot any misuse or running trouble, as
follows:
- Low oil-pressure device:

oilbefore starting thegenerator again.
The low oil-pressure device does not necessarily show
the oil level; a check of the oil level is consequently
necessaryatregularintervals.
-High temperature device:
