Before starting
– With the generator standing level, check the engine oil
level and top up if necessary. The oil level must be near to,
but not exceed the high mark on the engine oil level
dipstick.
– Check the coolant level in the expansion tank of the engine
cooling system. The coolant level must be near to the
FULL mark. Add coolant if necessary.
– Drain any coolant and sediment from the fuel pre-filter.
Check the fuel level and top up if necessary. It is
recommended to fill the tank after the day’s operation to
prevent coolantdamp in a nearly empty tank from
condensing.
– Check the vacuum indicator of the air filter. If the red part
shows completely, replace the filter element.
– Press the vacuator valve of the air filter to remove dust.
– Check the generator for leakage, tightness of wire
terminals, etc. Correct if necessary.
– Check that circuit breaker Q1.1 is switched off.
– Check that fuse F10 has not tripped and that the
emergency stop is in the OUT position.
– Check that the load is switched off.
– Check that the earth fault protection (N13) has not tripped
(reset if necessary).
