3. Preparation before starting

3.1. Checking the oil level (diagrams A and B)
Always check the engine oil level before starting.
Checking and topping up should be carried out with the generating set on a horizontal surface.
Remove the grey-coloured plug-gauge (no. 1, Fig. B) on the exhaust side by unscrewing it, and wipe the gauge.
Insert the gauge into the filler neck (no. 2, Fig. B) without screwing it up.
Note: A second cap, black-coloured (no. 3, Fig. A) (but without a gauge), is available if necessary on the other side of the engine.
Visually check the level and top up if necessary.
Using a funnel, fill the oil sump until it overflows.
Screw the cap back up again tightly in the filler tube.
Check that there are no leaks.
Wipe off excess oil with a clean cloth.
3.2. Checking the fuel level (diagram A)
Stop the engine before filling up with fuel and fill up in a well-ventilated area.
Do not smoke, or bring naked flames or sparks near to the area where you are filling up with fuel or where the
fuel is stored.
Danger
Only use clean fuel without any water.
Do not overfill the tank (there should not be any fuel in the filler neck).
When you have filled up, ensure that the tank cap is closed correctly.
Take care not to spill any fuel when filling the tank.
Before starting up the generating set, and if any fuel has been spilt, make sure that it has dried and that the
vapours have cleared away.
Check the fuel level and top up if necessary:
Unscrew the fuel tank cap (2).
Fill the tank (1) using a funnel, taking care not to spill petrol.
Screw the cap back on to the fuel tank.

3.3. Earthing the generating set

To earth the generating set, use a 10 mm2 copper wire attached to the generating set earth connection and to an earthing rod of
galvanised steel set in the ground to a depth of 1 metre. This also dissipates the static electricity that builds up in the electrical
machines.

3.4. Positioning the generating set for operation

Place the generating set on a flat, horizontal surface which is firm enough to prevent the set sinking down (under no circumstances
should the set tilt any direction by more than 10°).
Choose a site that is clean, well-ventilated and sheltered from bad weather, and store the additional supplies of oil and fuel within
close proximity, although respecting a certain distance for safety.
4. Using the generator set
4.1. Starting procedure (diagram A)
Move the noise reducing deflector (23) forwards.
Open the petrol tap by turning the control lever (14) to the right.
Place the knob of the choke (15) in the closed position as shown on the illustration.
Note: Do not use the choke when the engine is warm or when the atmospheric temperature is high.
Move the engine ignition switch (10) to "I".
Hold the starting handle (13) correctly and pull it slowly until some resistance is felt, then let it return gradually.
Hold the starting handle again correctly, then pull the cord sharply and rapidly (pull it right out, using both hands if necessary).
Allow the handle to return slowly by hand. If the engine has not started, repeat the operation until the engine starts by gradually
opening the choke.
When the engine has started, gradually open the choke (15).
Move the noise reducing deflector (23) back to its initial position.
