Section 3. Getting started with the generating set
3.1 Key to illustrations
The cover illustrations can be used to identify the various components of the generating set. The procedures in the manual refer to
these illustrations using letters and numbers as identifiers: for example, "A; 1" refers to the number 1 on figure A.

The unit may be equipped with the "GS101-Generator Smart Care" option (A4): the Bluetooth GSC101 box transmits
all the information needed to monitor the unit to an application to be installed on your mobile phone; this includes
maintenance dates, a maintenance aid, and the map of approved resellers for any spare parts required.
3.2 Initial commissioning
On taking delivery and commissioning the unit:
1. Check that it is complete and not damaged in any way.
2. Check the fluid levels (oil, fuel, coolant) and top them up if necessary.
3. Connect the battery, starting with the positive terminal.
Observe the polarity of the battery terminals when connecting it: as this could cause serious damage to the electrical equipment.
4. For the first 50 hours, run the unit at 70% of total power (running in).
3.3 Installing the battery
1. Connect the red wire to the positive battery terminal (+) (A3).
2. Connect the black wire to the negative battery terminal (-).
3.4 Connecting Generator Smart Care
The unit may be equipped with the "GS101-Generator Smart Care" option (A4):
1. Secure the Bluetooth GSC101 box to the unit,
2. Download and install the free Generator Smart Care* application onto a mobile phone or tablet,
3. Create an account,
4. Activate Bluetooth on the phone or tablet,
5. Follow the instructions on the application to pair the phone or the tablet with the Bluetooth GSC101 box.

Section 4. Using the generator set
Before using the unit, always:
Check that the unit is correctly installed and that it is ready to start:
To carry out checks and starting operations, it is necessary to open the top cover and the access door of the unit: close them before
starting the unit.
Ensure that all of the procedures for use and safety instructions have been understood:
In case of immediate danger when using, press the emergency stop button (A6) to stop the unit immediately (reminder: this
emergency stop button does not use the normal procedure to stop the unit and should only be used in case of danger).
4.1 Positioning the generating set for operation
RISK OF POISONING - CARBON MONOXIDE
DANGER OF DEATH
Carbon monoxide is invisible, odorless and non-irritating and can cause death in less than an hour.
Always use the unit in a well ventilated area where the gases cannot accumulate.
In the event of headache, nausea or vomiting: stop the unit immediately, ventilate and evacuate the
area and call for help.
1. Choose a clean, well ventilated and sheltered from bad weather site that is at least 1m away from building or other equipment.
2. Position the unit on a flat horizontal surface that has sufficient load-bearing capacity to prevent it from sinking.
The units are designed for stationary operation: they must not be installed on a vehicle or other mobile equipment unless a study taking
into account the different specific requirements for use of the unit has been carried out.
3. Check that the angle of the unit, in all directions, does not exceed 10°.
