5.8 Coolant check
Check the coolant as shown in tab cap.6.9.
The references are indicated on the expansion tank.
If the coolant level in the radiator goes down, refill it without
going upper the top reference.
Never open the cover of the radiator
(fig.9 ref.6) and of the expansion vase when the
engine is hot to avoid dangerous spillages of coolant.
6.7 B
ATTERY
CHECK
The battery (rif.1) only needs to be checked periodically for
electrolyte level and, if necessary, topped up with distilled
water. Normally, the acid level must be within the level lines
shown on the battery body.
When the MIN level is reached, top up the cells with distilled
water, taking care not to exceed the MAX level indicated on
the battery case.
The batteries develop a highly explosive gas.
It is recommended not to smoke nor cause sparks in the
vicinity, in particular during charging.
Wear protective goggles. When dismantling the battery,
disconnect the negative cable (-) first.
When remounting it, connect the positive cable (+) first.

OF
INACTIVITY
If the generator is not to be used for a long period of time,
the following operations must be carried out.
• Completely empty out the fuel tank.
• Change the engine oil.
• Clean the air filter.
• Disconnect the battery cables. We recommend you
recharge the battery every month in order to prevent it
from going completely flat which, sometimes,
compromises its integrity.
• Clean the outside of the generator, removing all dust
and impurities.
• Cover the generator with a nylon sheet and store it in
horizontal position in a dry and ventilated place.
