using the generating set.
If the engine has not started, repeat the procedure until the engine starts while gradually opening the choke.
4.2. Operation

n
Check that the green button on the circuit breaker (diag. A - no. 12) is depressed. Push it in if necessary.
o
Connect the equipment to be used to the generating set electrical sockets (diag. A – no. 11).
N.B.: These generating sets are fitted with "Schucco" sockets: there may occasionally be instances where these are not
compatible with certain devices. In this case, our agents can provide an adaptor free of charge on request (proof of purchase
required).
4.3. Switching off
n
