1.3.12 Operating conditions
The stated outputs of the generating sets are obtained under the reference conditions outlined in ISO 8528-1(2005):
9 Total barometric pressure: 100 Kpa
9 Air ambient temperature: 25°C (298K)
9 Relative humidity: 30%
Generating set performance is reduced by approximately 4% for every additional 10° C and/or approximately 1% for every additional
100m in altitude.

3. Preparation before starting
3.1. Checking the oil level
Always check the engine oil level before starting.
Checking and topping up should be carried out with the generating set on a horizontal surface.
n Remove the grey-coloured plug-gauge (no. 1, Fig. B) on the exhaust side by unscrewing it, and wipe the gauge.
o Insert the gauge into the filler neck (no. 2, Fig. B) without screwing it up.
Note: A second cap, black-coloured (no. 3, Fig. A) (but without a gauge), is available if necessary on the other side of the engine.
p Visually check the level and top up if necessary.
q Using a funnel, fill the oil sump until it overflows.
r Screw the cap back up again tightly in the filler tube.
s Check that there are no leaks.
t Wipe off excess oil with a clean cloth.
3.2. Checking the fuel level
Danger
Stop the engine before filling up with fuel and fill up in a well-ventilated area.
Do not smoke, or bring naked flames or sparks near to the area where you are filling up with fuel or where the fuel
is stored.
Only use clean fuel without any water.
Do not overfill the tank (there should not be any fuel in the filler neck).
When you have filled up, ensure that the tank cap is closed correctly.
Take care not to spill any fuel when filling the tank.
Before starting up the generating set, and if any fuel has been spilt, make sure that it has dried and that the
vapours have cleared away.
Check the fuel level and top up if necessary:
n Unscrew the fuel tank cap (no. 2, fig A).
o Fill the tank (no. 1, fig A) using a funnel, taking care not to spill petrol.
p Screw the cap back on to the fuel tank.
3.3. Earthing the generating set
Danger
The generating sets supply electrical current when in operation: risk of electrocution.
Connect the generating set to the ground at each use.
To connect the set to the ground: Attach a 10 mm
2
copper wire to the set’s earth connection and to a galvanised steel earthing rod
driven 1 meter into the ground.
