4. Using the generator set
4.1. Starting procedure (diagram A)
Check the fuel level using the "E/F" gauge next to fuel tank (2).
Open the enclosure panels and check the oil level on dipstick/filler cap (3).
Open fuel tap (14) by unscrewing the thumbwheel, then close the panels again.
Pull choke handle (15) out fully (cold motor).
Turn motor ignition key (10) to the start position until the motor starts, then release the key.
Note: if the motor does not start within 5 seconds, stop trying and wait 10 seconds before trying again.
Close the enclosure panels.
4.2. Operation (diagram A)
When the motor temperature begins to increase, push choke handle (15) back in gradually.
When the running speed of the generating set has stabilised (3 minutes):
Check that the circuit breaker (s) (16) is (are) engaged.
Connect the plug(s) to the generating set socket(s).
4.3. Switching off (diagram A)
When the generating set is switched off, the motor continues to give off heat.
Suitable ventilation should be provided after the generating set is turned off.
To stop the generating set urgently, turn the engine switch to "O" (OFF).
Warning
Take the plugs out of the sockets and allow the motor to run with no load for 1 to 2 minutes.
Turn motor ignition key (10) to "O", the generating set will stop.
Open the enclosure panel, close fuel tap (14) and close the panel again.
5. Safety features (if fitted, see specifications table)
5.1. Oil cut-out
This mechanism is designed to prevent any damage to the motor resulting from lack of oil in the motor sump. It automatically cuts out the motor. If the motor
stops and will not restart, check the motor oil level before looking for any other cause of the problem.
5.2. Circuit breaker
The electrical circuit of the set is protected by several magnetothermal, differential or thermal cut-out switches. Any overload and/or short circuits cause the
supply of electrical energy to be cut.
6. Maintenance schedule
6.1. Reminder of use
The maintenance interval frequency and the operations to be carried out are outlined in the maintenance programme.
However, it should be added that it is the environment in which the generating set is operating which determines this programme. Accordingly, if the set is
used in extreme conditions, shorter intervals between maintenance procedures should be adopted.
These maintenance schedules apply only to generating sets running on fuel and oil, that conform to the specifications given in this booklet.
