Regularly check the condition of the generating set and
its compartment before and after it is used: check for
the presence or not of fuel or oil leaks, the tightness of
the different clamps and bolts, the condition of the belts,
hoses and the various electrical cables, the wear of the
zinc anode (if tted), the battery electrolyte level.
These relatively simple checks can help you to detect
possible faults before major work on your set is required.
I Caution! : Do not let oil, fuel or grease deposits build
up around the generating set as they may increase the
risk of re in the engine compartment.
Check the operation of the different lamps and indica-
tors situated on the instrument panel. Take care not to
get the generator wet when cleaning the engine.
Maintenance
I Attention! Carry out these operations when the
generating set is stopped and cold.
The air lter essentially reduces the level of noise
made by the engine and puries the air injected into
the combustion chamber.
If the lter is too clogged, replace it. If it is not:
• Remove the hose retaining ring and remove the
lter.
• First clean the lter with compressed air
• Let it dry completely at ambient temperature and
then put it back in its place.
