3. Preparation for operation
3.1. Checking oil level (A and B diagrams)
Warning
Always check the engine oil level before starting.
Checking and topping up should be carried out with the generating set on a horizontal surface.
❶ Open the enclosure (No. 7, fig. A) with a screwdriver
❷ Unscrew and take off the oil filler cap (fig. B) and wipe the dipstick, then, introduce the dipstick into the filler
neck without screwing it on
❸ Remove the dipstick and examine the oil level
❹ If it requires topping up, top up with new approved oil to the top of filler tube. Wipe off excess oil with a
clean cloth.
❺ Refit the oil filler cap and screw in place.
3.2. Checking the fuel level (diagram C)
Danger
Stop the motor 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 fill it up to the maximum level, if necessary (fig. C).
3.3. Checking the air filter
❶ Check that the air filter is clean and in correct working order (paragraph 7.1)
3.4. Earthing the generating set
To earth the generating set, use a 10 mm2 copper wire attached to the generating set earth connection and to an
earthing rod of galvanised steel set in the ground to a depth of 1 metre. This also dissipates the static electricity
that builds up in the electrical machines.
3.5. Siting the set for use
Place the generating set on a flat, horizontal surface which is firm enough to prevent the set sinking down (under
no circumstances should the set tilt any direction by more than 10°).
Choose a site that is clean, well-ventilated and sheltered from bad weather, and store the additional supplies of
oil and fuel within close proximity, although respecting a certain distance for safety.
