3.2

Initial commissioning

On taking delivery and commissioning the unit: 

1.

Check that it is complete and not damaged in any way.

2.

If the unit is fitted with a transport bracket, remove it.

The transport bracket is a metal plate located underneath the engine, close to the 
earth terminal. Although useful for transportation, it will prevent optimum operation 
of the unit (noise, vibration).
To remove it: lift the unit slightly and place it on a block then remove the nut (1) and 
the clamp (2).

3.

Check the oil and fuel levels and top them up if necessary.

4.

If necessary, connect the battery, starting with the positive terminal. 

Observe the polarity of the battery terminals when connecting it: as this could cause serious damage to the electrical equipment.

Some units require a running-in period. Contact your nearest agent for more information.

3.3

Installing Generator Smart Care (Option)

The unit may be equipped with the "GS101-Generator Smart Care" option (A18): 

1.

Secure the Bluetooth GSC101 box to the unit,

2.

Download and install the free Generator Smart Care* application onto a mobile phone or tablet,

3.

Create an account, 

4.

Activate Bluetooth on the phone or tablet,

5.

Follow the instructions on the application to pair the phone or the tablet with the Bluetooth GSC101 box.

Generator  Smart  Care  displays  all  the  information  needed  to  monitor  the  unit  in  the  application;  this  includes  maintenance  date 
alerts and reminders, a maintenance aid, and the map of approved resellers for any spare parts required.

*Available free from the App Store and Google Play (excluding any connection fees charged by the phone system operator).

4 Using the generator set

Before using the unit, always:

1.

Check that the unit is correctly installed and that it is ready to start.

2.

Make sure you have understood all of the operating procedures.

To stop the unit in an emergency: turn the key to the "

OFF

" position and close the fuel tap(s), if fitted.

4.1

Positioning the generating set for operation

 DANGER

RISK OF POISONING - CARBON MONOXIDE
DANGER OF DEATH (if appropriate)

Carbon monoxide is invisible, odorless and non-irritating and can cause death in less than an 
hour. Always use the unit in a well ventilated area where the gases cannot accumulate.
In  the  event  of  headache,  nausea  or  vomiting:  stop  the  unit  immediately,  ventilate  and 
evacuate the area and call for help.

1.

Choose a site that is clean, well ventilated and sheltered from bad weather.

2.

Position the unit on a flat horizontal surface that has sufficient load-bearing capacity to prevent it from sinking.

The units are designed for stationary operation: they must not be installed on a vehicle or other mobile equipment unless a study taking 
into account the different specific requirements for use of the unit has been carried out.

3.

Check that the angle of the unit, in all directions, does not exceed 10°.

4.2

Check the generating set is in a good general condition (bolts, hoses)

Inspect the entire unit before start-up and after each use to prevent any faults or damage.

1.

Check that the unit is clean, in particular the air intake zones (engine air intake, air vents, air filter, etc.).

2.

Check all of the unit's pipes and hoses to ensure they are in good condition and that there are no leaks.

Pipes or hoses must be replaced by a specialist technician. Please contact your nearest agent.

3.

Tighten any loose bolts.

The cylinder head bolts must be retightened by a specialist technician. Please contact your nearest agent.

4.3

Checking the engine oil level and topping up

1. If the unit has been used, leave to cool for at least 30 minutes
2. Remove the oil dipstick/filler plug (A2-B1) by unscrewing it, and wipe the dipstick.
3. Insert the oil dipstick/filler plug in the filler neck (B2) without tightening it, then take it out again.
4. Visually check the level: it must be between the upper limit (B3) and lower limit (B4) on the dipstick. 

If the oil level is too low: open the oil filler cap, use a funnel to top up the tank (using oil that complies with the specifications in the 
manual), then screw the oil filler plug back in.

If the oil level is too high: drain some of the oil into a suitable container.

5. Check the level again before screwing the oil dipstick/filler plug back in fully.
6. Check that there are no oil leaks, and wipe away any traces of oil with a clean cloth.

4.4

Checking the fuel level and topping up

With the unit on a flat, level surface, visually inspect the fuel level on the indicator (A3): the red marker on the indicator should be 
between the maximum level (F = full) and the minimum level (E = empty). If necessary, fill with fuel:

1.

Unscrew the fuel tank cap (A4).

2.

Fill the fuel tank using a funnel, taking care not to spill any fuel and checking the level at regular intervals: the fuel level 
indicator must be at position "F".

Do not overfill the tank; there should not be any fuel in the filler neck.

3.

Carefully tighten the fuel tank cap.

4.

All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
