proper installation and use of the generator. It' s essential,
either for the customer' s safety and satisfaction or for
good reliability of the generator, to carry out proper
installation and a careful pre-delivery test.
A wrong installation or an oversight on testing may
compromise the efficiency of the generator and even
jeopardize the customer' s safety.
All information and illustrations in this handbook refer to
the latest produced model at the time of printing.
For any further information, please get in touch with the
nearest MASE SERVICE CENTER, they' ll be pleased to
help you at any time.

1 SAFETY REGULATIONS
- Read carefully all the instructions given in this handbook
and in the installation manual; they are of the utmost
importance for correct installation and use of the unit and
for prompt intervention in case of need.
- Do not allow unskilled or untrained people to use the
unit.
- Do not allow children or animals to get close to the
generator while it is working.
- Do not handle the generator or the remote control panel
with wet hands; any misuse may cause electric shocks.
- Any testing of the unit is to be carried out only when the
engine is stopped. Possible checks on the generator
when it' s running have to be performed only by skilled
workers.
2 PRELIMINARY CHECKS
On starting the generator for the first time and after any
servicing, it is advisable to make sure that:
- The oil is at the right level through the rod ref. 1 Fig. 1
, as per table for suggested oils.
- The generator is well secured to the soundproofing box
by means of the proper bolts.
- The electric loads are disconnected so as to avoid
starting the generator on load.
- Every connection (fuel, exhaust, remote control, A.C.,
battery) has been properly carried out and there are no
connections in bad conditions.
- The water cock is open, as per (ref. 2 fig. 2)
- If anon-return valve is used, the cooling circuit from the
valve up to the pump has been manually filled (ref. 1 fig.
2)

3 GENERATOR USE
Before starting the generator, make sure all preliminary
checks, as per item 1 , have been properly carried out
Starting
To start the engine push the button << ON >> (fig. 3 ref.
4), all the pilot and warning lamps will glow for 5 sec. about
in a self control function, later on only the << panel on >>
(fig. 3 ref. 5) and then start the engine pushing the button
<<Start >> (fig. 3 ref.3), for 5 sec. max. Release it only
when the engine runs. A correct generator functioning is
demostrated by the led (fig .3 ref. 6) glowing on. Once
started,the safety devices of the generator are automaticily
activated (see item. 4).
Generator Stop
The generator can be stopped ushing the <<OFF>>
button on the control panel (fig. 3 ref 2).
4 SAFETY DEVICES
The generator has been equipped with a setof safety
devices in case ot any misuse or running trouble, as
follows:
- Low oil-pressure device:
it causes the generator shut-down in case of insufficient
oil pressure. Its intervention is shown by the warning light
going on (fig. 3 Ref. 7). It is usually enough to top up the
oil before starting the generator again.
WARNING
The low oil-pressure device does not necessarily show
the oil level; a check of the oil level is consequently
necessary at regular intervals.
- High temperature device:
it causes generator shut-down in case of high temperatu-
re of the engine. Its intervention is shown by the warning
light going on (fig.3 ref.8).Should this device come in to
operation,look for and eliminate the causes of the
intervention and then start the generator again.
- Alternator overload/over temperature device:
it comes into operation, stopping the generator, in case
of thermic or electric overload of the alternator.
Its intervention is shown bythe relative warning light going
on (fig. 3 ref. 9). Wait until the temperature of the alternator
windings goes back to the normal values. It' s however
recommended to look forand eliminate the causes of the
intervention before starting the generator again.
WARNING
If one of the above safety devices intervenes, look for and
eliminate the causes of the intervention, then push the <<
STOP >>
button to avoid that signal keeps stored.
