Generating Set Maintenance - SDMO DIESEL 6000 E SILENCE Manual De Utilización

4.6 Starting the generating set
Once the daily checks have been performed, and having read the instructions and safety regulations carefully:
1. Open the fuel tap (A4).
2. It is essential to close the top cover and the access door to the generating set.
3. Turn the key (A3) to the "ON" position: all the indicator lights on the APM202 (A10) light up briefly.
4. Press the "START" button once: after a few seconds, the generating set starts up.
The APM202 automatically performs 3 starting attempts. If the generating set does not start after these 3 attempts, see the
section on Resolving minor faults.
4.7 Using the electricity supplied
1. Allow the generating set speed to stabilise and the temperature to rise (approx. 3 to 5 min.).
2. Connect the devices which will be used to the electrical sockets (A11) on the generating set.
3. Use the working hours counter (A12) to monitor the running time of the generating set.
Note (for France only): Our generating sets are fitted with European (Schuko type) sockets where the earthing contact is made using side
tabs. In exceptional cases where your devices require the use of earthing pins, we supply* a 16 A pin adaptor (compliant with NF C 61-314).
*Contact our sales department on 0 825 004 002 (calls charged at €0.15 per min inc. tax) and provide proof of purchase.
After use, always disconnect the adaptor and store it carefully, away from sources of humidity. Always
ensure that the socket cover on the generating set is closed: risk of damage (loss of seal).

4.8 Switching the generating set off
1. Disconnect the electrical connectors (A11) taking care to close the socket cover on the generating set.
2. Allow the generating set to run without any load for a 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Turn the key (A3) to the "OFF" position: the generating set stops.
4. Open the access door to the generating set in order to close the fuel tap (A4).
5. Close the access door to the generating set.
Always ensure that the generating set is suitably ventilated.
Even when the unit is turned off, the engine continues to give off heat.
CAUTION
In the event of a fault relating to stopping the generating set, activate the stop lever (A13).

5 Generating set maintenance

The maintenance operations to be carried out are detailed in the maintenance table. The interval for this is supplied as a guide and
for generating sets operating with fuel and oil which conform to the specifications given in this manual. The maintenance intervals
can be shortened depending on the generating set operating conditions and requirements.
Consumables such as the oil, the air filter element and the spark plug must be in good condition to ensure the generating
set works correctly. These consumables should be replaced regularly and as often as necessary. It is important to note
that the warranty shall not be valid if generating set maintenance has not be performed correctly.
5.1 Reminder of use
As a safety measure, maintenance should be performed on the generating set regularly and carefully by people who have the necessary
experience and are equipped with suitable tools. Any warranty becomes void in the event of failure to respect the maintenance
recommendations. For any questions about a special operation, please contact your nearest agent who will advise and help you.
