4.2. Operation
When the generating set is warm and the running speed has stabilised (after approximately 3 minutes):
Trip the circuit breakers (fig. A – no. 8).
Connect the devices to the generating set sockets (fig. A – no. 9).
The working hours counter calculates the operating time of the generating set (fig. A – no. 10).
N.B.: SDMO generating sets are fitted with "Schucco" sockets: there may occasionally be instances where these are not compatible with certain
devices. In this case, our agents can provide an adaptor free of charge on request (proof of purchase required).
4.3. Switching off
Switch off and disconnect the devices.
Allow the engine to run for 1 or 2 minutes.
Set the engine switch to "OFF" or "O" (diag. A – no. 6).
The generating set is turned off.
Close the fuel tap (fig. A – no. 3).
Always ensure that the generating set is suitably ventilated.
Even when the unit is turned off, the engine continues to give off heat.
Warning
5. Safety features (if fitted, see specifications table)
5.1. Oil cut-out
If there is no oil in the engine sump or if the oil pressure is low, the oil safety mechanism automatically stops the engine to prevent any
damage.
If this occurs, check the engine oil level and top it up if necessary before looking for any other cause of the problem.
5.2. Circuit breaker
The set's electrical circuit is protected by one or more magnetothermal, differential or thermal cut-out switches. In the event of an
overload and/or short circuit, the supply of electrical energy may be cut.
If necessary, replace the circuit breakers in the generating set with circuit breakers with identical nominal ratings and specifications.
6. Maintenance schedule
6.1. Reminder of use
The maintenance operations to be carried out are described in the maintenance schedule. 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.
If the generating set is used under extreme conditions, the interval between the maintenance operations must be shortened.

* Perform air filter maintenance more frequently if the generating set is used in dusty locations.
** Operation(s) must only be carried out by one of our agents.
Under occasional heavy use, change the oil at least every year.
