3.4. Checking the fuel level
Filling up with fuel must be carried out when the engine is stopped and in accordance with
safety codes
(see § Fuel refilling) .
Danger
n
Unscrew the fuel tank plug (fig. A – No. 4).
o
Visually check the fuel level. If necessary fill up:
p
Fill the fuel tank using a funnel while taking care not to spill the fuel.
Only use clean fuel without any presence of water.
Do not overfill the tank (there should not be any fuel in the filler neck).
After filling, always check that the fuel tank cap is properly closed.
If any fuel has been spilt, ensure that it has dried and that all vapour have evaporated before starting the
generating set.
Important
q
Screw the fuel tank plug back on.
3.5. Checking the air filter
Never use petrol or solvents with a low flash point for cleaning the air filter element (risk of fire or explosion).
Important
n
Remove the nut & the air filter cover (fig. D – No. 1 & 2).
o
Remove the wing nut (fig. D – No. 3) then the filtering elements (fig. D – No. 4 & 5) & visually check their condition.
p
Clean or replace the elements if necessary (see. § Cleaning of the air filter) .
q
Refit the filter elements, wing nut, then the cover and its nut.
3.6. Checking the starter battery
Observe the precautions on the use of batteries (cf. Precautions on the use of batteries) and ensure that the " - -" battery terminal
is correctly connected to the circuit.
4. Using the generator set
Before use:
- make sure you know how to stop the generating set in the event of an emergency,
- make sure you completely understand all the controls and operations.
To stop the generating set urgently, activate the stop lever.
Warning
4.1. Starting-up
n
Check that the generating set is well connected to the ground (see § Earthing the genset ) .
o
Check the oil level (see § Oil level checking) .
p
Turn the starting & shut-down key (fig. A – No. 5).
Note: If the engine does not start at the end of 15 seconds, stop the test and wait for 2 minutes before making a repeat attempt
(wear & tear risk).
q
Release the key and wait for the engine temperature to increase before using the generating set.
4.1.1 Emergency starting
If the electric start-up does not work, start the generating set manually:
n
Turn the starting & shut-down key (fig. A – No. 5) clockwise to position (B).
o
Actuate the solenoid valve (fig. A – No. 6, I ).
p
Gently pull the recoil starter handle (fig. A – No.7), until a certain amount of resistance is encountered then allow it to return slowly.
q
Swiftly and firmly pull the recoil starter handle, then allow it to return back slowly.
If the engine does not start, repeat the operation until it starts.
r
Actuate the solenoid valve (fig. A – No. 6, O ).
4.2. Operation
When the running speed of the generating set has stabilised (approximately 3 minutes):
n
Check that the circuit breakers (fig A – No.6) are well depressed Press if necessary.
o
Connect the devices to be used to the electrical sockets (fig. A – No. 7) of the generating set.
