1.3.11 Filling with fuel
The fuel is highly flammable and its vapours are combustible.
Filling should be carried out with the engine turned off. Smoking, using a naked flame or
producing sparks are forbidden while the fuel tank is being filled.
All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
Danger
Storage and handling of petroleum products must be carried out in accordance with the law. Close the fuel tap (if fitted) each time the
tank has been filled. Never top up fuel when the generating set is in operation or hot.
Always place the generating set on a flat, level and horizontal surface to avoid fuel spilling onto the motor. Fill the tank with a funnel
taking care not to spill the fuel, then screw the plug back onto the fuel tank.
1.3.12 Safety guidelines for handling batteries
Never leave the battery close to a flame or fire.
Use only insulated tools.
Never use sulphuric acid or acid water to top up the electrolyte level.

3. Preparation before use
3.1. Positioning the generating set for operation
Choose a site that is clean, well ventilated and sheltered from bad weather.
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 in any direction by more than 10°).
Store the additional supplies of oil and fuel within close proximity, whilst maintaining a certain distance for safety.
3.2. Earthing the generating set
The generating sets supply electrical current when in operation: risk of electrocution.
Connect the generating set to the ground at each use.
Dange
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.
