3.2.1.1 Parking instructions
Non-adjustable towbar with standard support leg
without brakes:
Adjustable towbar with jockey wheel and brakes:
When parking a generator, secure support leg (1) or
jockey wheel (2) to support the generator in a level
position. Be sure that the jockey wheel (2) is blocked
by the blocking pin (4).
Apply parking brake by pulling parking brake handle
(3) upwards. Place the generator as level as possible;
however, it can be operated temporarily in an out-of-
level position not exceeding 15°. If the generator is
parked on sloping ground, immobilize the generator
by placing wheel chocks (available as option) in front
of or behind the wheels.
Locate the rear-end of the generator upwind, away
from contaminated wind-streams and walls. Avoid
recirculation of exhaust air from the engine. This
causes overheating and engine power decrease.

The instructions below only apply to

relevant safety precautions,
including those mentioned on page 8
to page 14 of this booklet.
