Important

1.3.2 General advice
When the generating set is received, check that it is complete and not damaged in any way (the photos shown in this manual do not
have any contractual value). A generating set should be handled gently and brusque movements should be avoided. Ensure that the
place where it is to be stored or used is carefully prepared beforehand.
Before use:
- make sure you know how to stop the generating set in the event of an emergency,
- make sure you completely understand all the controls and operations.
Warning
For reasons of safety, the maintenance intervals must be respected (see Maintenance table). Never carry out repairs or maintenance
procedures without the necessary experience and/or tools.
Never let other people use the generating set without having given them all the necessary instructions beforehand.
Never let children touch the generating set, even when it is not in operation. Do not operate the generating set near animals (as it could
cause them to panic or frighten them).
Never lay the generating set on its side. Never start the engine without an air filter or exhaust. Never invert the positive and negative
terminals on the battery (if fitted) when fitting them as this could cause serious damage to the electrical equipment.
Never cover the generating set with any type of material while it is in operation or just after it has been turned off (Wait until the engine
is cold). Never coat the generating set with oil, even to protect it from corrosion; preservative oils are flammable and can be dangerous
if inhaled.
In all cases, respect the local regulations currently in place concerning the use of generating sets.
1.3.3 Safety guidelines to prevent electrocution
The generating sets supply electrical current when in operation: risk of electrocution.
Dange
r
Never touch stripped cables or disconnected connectors. Never handle a generating set with wet hands or feet. Never expose the
equipment to liquid splashes or rainfall, and do not place it on wet ground.
Always keep electric cables and connections in good condition. Never use equipment in poor condition: risk of electrocution or damage
to the equipment.
Specific protective measures to follow in accordance with the operating conditions.
1 – If the generating set is not equipped with an integrated differential protection device at delivery
In the case of occasional use of one or many mobile or rotating devices, the earthing of the generating set is not necessary, but the
following installation rules must be complied with:
a) The grounds of the equipment connected to the outlets of the generating set must be interconnected with the ground of the set
by a protection conductor. This equipotentiality is performed if all the connecting cables of class I equipment are fitted with a PE
protection conductor (GREEN and YELLOW) correctly connected to their patches to the generating set (this protection conductor is
not necessary for equipment of class II protection). The good condition of the cables and the ground connections is an essential
element to guarantee protection against electric shocks, therefore the usage of rubber sheathed cables is strongly recommended,
flexible and strong, in compliance with standard IEC 60245-4 Comply with the cable lengths indicated in the table of the paragraph
“Cable sizes”.
b) Each channel (electrical cable) originating from the generating set must be protected by a complementary differential device
calibrated at 30mA, set up before each outlet less than 1 m from the set, and protected against external influences to which it could
be subjected.
2 – If the generating set is equipped with an integrated differential protection device at delivery (with the alternator ground connected to
the earth terminal of the generating set)
In the case of occasional use of one or many mobile or rotating devices, the earthing of the generating set is not necessary, but the
ground connection rules listed in point a) of paragraph 1 above must be complied with.
In the case of the supply of a temporary or semi-permanent station (site, show, fairs,.), connect the ground of the generating set to
the earth and follow the rules listed in point a) of paragraph 1 above.
In the case of the emergency re-supply of a fixed installation, the connection of the generating set to the ground of the installation to
re-supply and the electrical connection must be performed by a qualified electrician, in compliance with the regulation applicable on
the installation site. Do not connect the generating set directly to other power sources (e.g.: public distribution network); install a
power inverter.
Mobile applications (example: generating set installed in a moving vehicle)
If earthing is not possible, the grounds of the vehicle and of the equipment connected to the outlets of the generating set must be
interconnected with the ground of the generating set by a protection conductor, in compliance with the ground connection rules listed at
point a) of paragraph 1 above.
The protection against electric shocks is performed by circuit breakers provided specially for the generating set: if necessary, replace
them with circuit breakers having the same ratings and characteristics.

1.3.4 Safety guidelines to prevent fire
Never operate the generating set in areas containing flammable products (risk of sparks).
Keep all flammable products (petrol, oil, fabric etc.) out of the way when the unit is in
operation.
Never cover the generating set with any type of material while it is in operation or just after
it has been turned off: always wait until the engine cools down.
Danger
1.3.5 Safety guidelines against burns
Never touch the engine or the silencer while the generating set is in operation, or when it has just stopped.
Warning
Hot oil burns; avoid contact with the skin. Before carrying out any operation, check that the system is no longer pressurised. Never start
or run the engine if the oil filler cap is off (oil may splash out).
1.3.6 Danger of moving parts
Never go near a moving part that is in operation if you have loose clothing or long hair that
is not enclosed in a protective hair net.
Do not try to stop, slow down or impede a moving part when it is in operation.
Dange
r
1.3.7 Safety guidelines for exhaust gases
The carbon monoxide present in the exhaust gas may lead to death by inhalation if the
concentration levels in the atmosphere are too high.
Always use the generating set in a well ventilated area where the gases cannot
accumulate.
Danger
For safety reasons and for correct operation of the generating set, correct ventilation is essential (risk of intoxication, engine
overheating and accidents involving, or damage to, the surrounding equipment and property). If it is necessary to operate it inside a
building, the exhaust gases must be evacuated outside and adequate ventilation must be provided so that any people or animals
present are not affected.
1.3.8 Operating conditions
The stated outputs of the generating sets are obtained under the reference conditions outlined in ISO 8528-1(2005):
9Total barometric pressure: 100 Kpa
9Air ambient temperature: 25°C (298K)
9Relative humidity: 30%
Generating set performance is reduced by approximately 4% for every additional 10° C and/or approximately 1% for every additional
100m in altitude.
1.3.9 Capacity of the generating set (overload)
Never exceed the rated load of the generating set (in Amps and/or Watts) when it is running continuously.
Before connecting and operating the generating set, calculate the electrical power required by the electric appliances (in Watts). This
electrical power rating is usually found on the manufacturer's plate on bulbs, electrical appliances, motors etc. The sum total of power
required by these appliances should not exceed the nominal power rating of the generating set.
1.3.10 Protecting the environment
Drain the engine oil into a designated container: never drain or discard engine oil onto the ground.
As far as possible, avoid sound reverberating through walls or buildings (the noise will be amplified).
If the generating set is used in wooded, bushy or uncultivated areas and if the exhaust silencer is not fitted with a spark arrester, clear
any vegetation away from the area and take care that the sparks do not cause a fire.
1.3.11 Filling with fuel
The fuel is highly flammable and its vapours are combustible.
Filling should be carried out with the engine turned off. Smoking, using a naked flame or
producing sparks are forbidden while the fuel tank is being filled.
All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
Danger
Storage and handling of petroleum products must be carried out in accordance with the law. Close the fuel tap (if fitted) each time the
tank has been filled. Never top up fuel when the generating set is in operation or hot.
Always place the generating set on a flat, level and horizontal surface to avoid fuel spilling onto the motor. Fill the tank with a funnel
taking care not to spill the fuel, then screw the plug back onto the fuel tank.
1.3.12 Safety guidelines for handling batteries
Never leave the battery close to a flame or fire.
Use only insulated tools.
Never use sulphuric acid or acid water to top up the electrolyte level.

oUnscrew the filter elements nut (fig. D - No. 3) and extract them to clean them:
Paper element (fig. D - No. 4):
1) Tap the element lightly against a hard surface several times so as to remove any excess dirt.
N.B.: Never try to remove dirt using a brush.
2) Replace the paper element if it is too dirty.
Foam element (fig. D - No. 5):
1) Wash the element in a solution of household cleaner and hot water and then rinse it thoroughly.
OR: Wash it in a non-inflammable or high flash-point solvent. Leave the element to dry fully.
2) Immerse the element in clean engine oil and then remove any excess oil from it.
N.B.: The engine will smoke when it is started for the first time if too much oil is left in the foam.
pCheck carefully that the two elements are not torn or pierced. Replace them if they are damaged.
qCarry out refitting following the removal process in reverse.

7.6. Starter battery maintenance
Never place the battery close to a flame or fire.
Use only insulated tools.
Never use sulphuric acid or acid water to top up the electrolyte level.
Danger
As the battery is maintenance-free, just check the condition and tightness of the connections and its general cleanliness.
7.7. Spark plug inspection
nRemove the cap (fig. E - No. 1) from the spark plug, then remove the spark plug (fig. E - No. 2) using a spark plug spanner.
oCheck the condition of the spark plug:
If the electrodes are worn or if the insulation is split or flaking: Otherwise:
pReplace the spark plug.
qFit a new spark plug in position and tighten it by hand to
avoid damaging the threads.
rUse a spark plug spanner to tighten the spark plug by 1/2
turn after it is seated to compress the washer.
pClean the spark plug with a metal brush.
qWith a feeler gauge, check the electrode gap "X": it must be
between 0.7 and 0.8 mm inclusive.
rCheck the condition of the washer.
sFit the spark plug in position and tighten it by hand to avoid
damaging the threads.
tUse a spark plug spanner to tighten it by 1/8 - 1/4 turn after it
is seated to compress the washer.
7.8. Cleaning the generating set
Washing with water using a hosepipe is not recommended.
Washing with a high-pressure hose is not permitted.
Attention
nRemove all dust and debris from around the exhaust silencer (fig. A - mark 14).
oClean the generating set and in particular the air inlets and outlets of the engine and alternator using a cloth and a brush.
pCheck the general condition of the generating set and, if necessary, replace any faulty parts.
8. Storing the generating set
In the event that the generating set is not to be used for a long period, it must be stored in accordance with the guidelines below.
nClose the fuel tap (fig. A - No. 6 & fig. C - No. 1).
oDrain the fuel using an appropriate container.
A) Disconnect the fuel duct downstream of the fuel filter (fig. C - No. 3).
B) Open on fuel tap.
C) Once the oil has been drained, reconnect the fuel duct filter.
pStart the electrical generating set and leave it running until it runs out of fuel.
qWhile the engine is still warm, change the engine oil (see the Changing the engine oil section).
sClean the outside of the generating set, apply a rust protection product to the damaged sections and cover it with a protective
cover to protect it from dust.
tStore the generating set in a clean, dry place.
