in a good state of cleanliness.
The premises must be kept clean, and be regularly cleaned so as to avoid accumulation of dangerous materials or pollutants and
dust, which could ignite or cause an explosion. The cleaning equipment must be suited to the risks posed by the products and dust.
The presence of dangerous or combustible materials inside premises housing combustion devices shall be limited to the operating
requirements.
Facilities must be operated under the constant supervision of a qualified person, who must regularly check that the safety devices
are operating correctly and ensure that the combustion devices have the correct fuel supply.
Apart from the combustion devices, it is prohibited to use fire in any form. This restriction must be clearly displayed.
6/202

Spreading of waste water, sludge and waste is prohibited.
The fuels to be used must correspond to those featured in the declaration file and the specifications recommended by the
combustion device manufacturer.
The fuel is considered to remain in the same physical state as when it is introduced into the combustion chamber.
Burning of waste in the open air is prohibited.
Always protect your hands when checking for leaks. Pressurised liquids may penetrate body tissue and cause serious damage.
Risk of blood contamination.
Drain and dispose of engine oil in a specially provided container (fuel distributors can collect your used oil).
Except by special agreement, once closed, the gas supply main unit must only be re-opened by the gas distributor. However, the
user may access it under certain conditions. Check these for each site.
1.3.2 Risks related to exhaust gases and fuels
The carbon monoxide present in exhaust gases may cause death if the concentration levels in the air
breathed are too high.
Always use generating sets, pump units or lighting towers in a well-ventilated place where gases cannot
accumulate.
In case of indoor use:
Be sure to evacuate exhaust gases outdoors.
Provide appropriate ventilation so that personnel present are not affected.
Danger
Observe the local regulations in force for generating sets, pump units or lighting towers, as well as local regulations for use of fuel
(petrol, diesel fuel and gas) before using your generating set, pump unit or lighting tower.
Fuel filling should be carried out when the engine is off (except for generating sets with an automatic filling system).
Engine exhaust gases are toxic: do not run the generating set, pump unit or lighting column in unventilated premises. If installed in
a ventilated room, additional requirements for fire and explosion protection must be observed.
A leaking burnt gas exhaust may increase the sound level of the generating set, pump unit or lighting column. To check on its
efficiency, regularly examine the burnt gas exhaust.
Pipes must be replaced as soon as their condition demands it.
1.3.3 Risks related to toxic products
The corrosion inhibitor contains alkali.
Do not swallow it.
This substance should not come into contact with the
eyes. In the event of contact with the eyes, rinse
immediately with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes.
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin. In
the event of contact with the skin, wash thoroughly
with water and soap. CONSULT A DOCTOR
IMMEDIATELY. KEEP THE PRODUCT OUT OF
THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
The anti-rust product is toxic and dangerous if
absorbed. Avoid all contact with the skin and eyes.
Read the instructions on the packaging.
Glycol is a toxic product and dangerous if absorbed.
Avoid all contact with the skin and eyes. Read the
instructions on the packaging.
Warning
Caution: fuels and oils are dangerous to inhale. Ensure proper ventilation, and use a protective mask.
Never expose the equipment to liquid splashes or rainfall, and do not place it on wet ground.
The battery electrolyte is harmful to skin and especially eyes. If splashes get into eyes, rinse immediately with running water and/or
a 10% diluted boric acid solution.
Wear protective eyewear and strong base resistant gloves for handling the electrolyte.
7/202

1.3.4 Risk of fire, burns and explosion
The engine should not be operated in environments containing explosive products. As not all of the
electrical and mechanical components are shielded, there is a risk of sparks forming.
Danger
Make sure not to create sparks or flames, and not to smoke near the batteries, as the electrolyte gases are highly flammable
(especially if the battery is charging). Their acid also poses a risk to the skin, and in particular to the eyes.
Never cover the generating set, pump unit or lighting tower with any material during operation or just after shutdown (wait for the
engine to cool).
Do not touch hot parts such as the exhaust pipe, or put combustible materials on it.
Keep all flammable or explosive materials (e.g. petrol, oil, cloth, etc.) out of the way when the set is running.
Proper ventilation is required for your generating set, pump unit or lighting column to work properly. Without this ventilation, the
engine would very quickly rise to an excessively high temperature, causing accidents or damage to the equipment and to
surrounding property.
Do not remove the radiator cap if the engine is hot and the coolant is pressurised, due to risks of burns.
Depressurise the air, oil and cooling circuits before removing or disconnecting all the fittings, pipes or connected components.
Watch out for the possible presence of pressure when disconnecting a device from a pressurised system. Do not try to find
pressure leaks by hand. Oil at high pressure can cause bodily damage.
Some preservative oils are flammable. Also, some are dangerous to inhale. Ensure proper ventilation. Use a protective mask.
Hot oil causes burns. Avoid contact with hot oil. Check that the system is no longer pressurised before carrying out any procedures.
Never start or run the engine with the oil filler cap off (oil may splash out).
Never coat the generating set, pump unit or lighting column with a thin layer of oil to protect it from rust.
Never top up the oil or coolant if the generating set, pump unit or lighting column is running, or if the engine is hot.
A generating set can only operate when stationary, and cannot be installed on a vehicle or other mobile equipment, without a prior
study taking into account the various specific features of using the generating set.
1.3.5 Risks related to electrical networks
The electrical equipment supplied with the generating set complies with standard NF C15.100 (France), or with the standards of the
countries in question.
The earth connection must be installed in accordance with the standards in force in each country in question, and with the neutral
system sold.
Read the manufacturer's identification plate carefully. The values for voltage, power, current and frequency are shown. Check that
these values match the supply use.
Never accidentally touch stripped cables or loose connections.
Never handle a generating set with wet hands or feet.
Maintain electrical wires and connections in good condition. Using equipment in poor condition can lead to electrocution and
damage to equipment. 
Always disconnect the power to the equipment or facility (generating set voltage, battery voltage and network voltage) before any
operation.
The electrical connections must be made in accordance with current standards and regulations in the country of use.
Do not use faulty, poorly insulated or provisionally connected wires.
Never reverse the positive and negative terminals on batteries when connecting them. This could cause severe damage to the
electrical equipment. Follow the wiring diagram supplied by the manufacturer.
The generating set should not be connected to any other power sources, such as the mains supply network. In specific cases
where there is to be a connection to existing electrical networks, this must only be installed by a qualified electrician, who should
take the operating differences of the equipment into account, according to whether the mains supply network or generating set is
being used.
8/202

Protection against electric shocks is ensured by an assembly of specific equipment. If this needs to be replaced, it should be by
components with identical nominal values and specifications.
If the protective plates (blanking covers) need to be removed to route cables, the protector (blanking cover) must be refitted when
the operations are finished.
Due to high mechanical stresses, use only strong flexible wiring with rubber sheathing, compliant with IEC 245-4, or equivalent
wiring.
1.3.6 Dangers presented by electric currents (first aid)
First aid
In the event of an electric shock, shut off the power immediately and activate the
emergency stop on the generating set or lighting column. If the voltage has not yet
been cut off, move the victim out of contact with the live conductor as quickly as
possible. Avoid direct contact both with the live conductor and the victim's body. Use
a dry plank of wood, dry clothes or other non-conductive materials to move the victim
away. The live wire may be cut with an axe. Take great care to avoid the electric arc
that will be generated by this.
Begin emergency procedures
Resuscitation
If breathing has stopped, begin artificial respiration at once in the same place the accident took place unless the victim or operator's life
could be endangered by this.
In the event of cardiac arrest, carry out cardiac massage.
1.3.7 Risks related to moving the set
To unload the generating sets, pump units or lighting columns from their transport support brackets under optimum safety and
efficiency conditions, you must ensure that the following points are observed:
The lifting machinery or equipment is suited to the work required, in good condition and with sufficient lifting capacity.
The slings are positioned in the rings provided for this operation, the forklift arms are resting fully underneath all of the base frame
cross-beams, or the lifting bars are inserted in the apertures provided for this purpose in the base to lift the entire generating set
(according to models).
For completely safe working conditions and to prevent damage to the components fitted on the upper edge of the set, pump unit or
lighting column, the generating set, pump unit or lighting column must be lifted up with an adjustable boom. All the chains and
cables must be parallel with each other, and as perpendicular as possible with the upper edge of the generating set, pump unit or
lighting column.
If other equipment fitted on the generating set, pump unit or lighting column alters its centre of gravity, special lifting devices may be
necessary to maintain correct balance and completely safe working conditions.
The ground must be able to withstand the load of the generating set, pump unit or lighting column and its lifting machinery without
stress (otherwise, put down beams of sufficient strength in a stable configuration).
Position the generating set, pump unit or lighting column as close as possible to its place of use or transport, in a clear space with
free access.
Never perform work on a generating set, pump unit or lighting tower just hanging from a lifting device.
1.3.8 Risks related to noise
Dangerous noise
Risk of hearing loss
Important
Prolonged exposure to a noise level above 80dB (A) can lead to permanent hearing damage.
Therefore, it is recommended that ear defenders are used when working in close proximity to a generating set which is in operation.

2.3.Fluid retention
Any outflow of the fluids contained in the generating sets (fuel, oil and coolant, or rainwater or condensation) will be collected in a
retention container.
The containers have a capacity which allows 110% of the fluids contained in the generating set fitted with this option to be collected.
Diagram 2.3: Fluid retention container
The generating sets are fitted with a visual alarm warning when the upper limit of the retention container has been reached.
In all cases, the retention containers must be regularly checked to ensure they contain no fluid (fuel, oil and coolant, or rainwater or
condensation). If necessary, drain the containers via the drain port.
Note: Never allow these fluids to drain onto the ground; ensure they are collected in a designated container.
2.4.Fuel and consumables
All specifications (product features) are given in the engine maintenance manuals attached to this manual.
Fuels:
The specifications refer to European or international standards. Fuels complying with the standards indicated in the engine
maintenance manuals can be used without any contraindications. Only these fuels may be used.
Consumables:
In addition to the specifications indicated in the engine maintenance manuals, the consumables mentioned in the section entitled
