Perform periodic maintenance and resolve problems that appear immediately. Do not run the
generator before correcting any fault detected.
The generator uses a system of air-cooling, and it is necessary to clean its components regularly,
including the grilles, the cover of the fan and the fan itself so as to ensure cooling.
Keep the fuel filter clean, and change the oil of the motor regularly.
Periodically check the installation of the connections and the tightness of the fixations, re-tightening
them if necessary.
Clean the components of the air filter periodically, and replace the air filter when necessary.
Remove any electrical equipment that is plugged in before starting or stopping the generator.
Before transporting the generator, you must empty the fuel tank.
Maintenance and repair of the generator must be carried out by a qualified technician from an
authorised after-sales service centre.
Warning: when you start the generator with the cord, watch out for sudden changes in the rotation of the
motor!!! Risk of wounding!!! Never cover the generator when it is running. The cut-out mounted on the
generator has the aime of reducing the risk of electric shock. If it needs to be replaced with another cut-out,
the latter must correspond to the technical specifications of the generator. Due to important mechanical
constraints, it is necessary to use a flexible sheathed cable with a strong rubber protective layer
(conforming to IEC 245-4) or a similar cable. If using an electrical extension cable, the total length of the
extension must not exceed 60m when the section of the wire is 1.5mm
2
and must not exceed 100m when
the section of the wire is 2.5mm
2
.
Additional requirements for low-power generating sets for use by laymen
Protect children by keeping them at a safe distance from the generating set.
Fuel is combustible and easily ignited. Do not refuel during operation. Do not refuel while smoking
or near naked flames. Do not spill fuel.
Some parts of the internal combustion engine are hot and may cause burns. Pay attention to the
warnings on the generating set.
Engine exhaust gases are toxic. Do not operate the generating set in unventilated rooms. When
installed in ventilated rooms, additional requirements for fire and explosion protection shall be
observed.
Before use, the generating set and its electrical equipment (including lines and plug connections)
should be checked to ensure that they are not defective.
Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit breakers specially matched to the generating
set. If the circuit breakers require replacement, they should be replaced with a circuit breaker
having identical ratings and performances characteristics.
Due to high mechanical stresses, only tough rubber-sheathed flexible cable (in accordance with IEC
60245-4) or the equivalent should be used.
