4.2. Operation
When the generating set is warm and the running speed has stabilised (after approximately 3 minutes):
n Check that the operating light is turned on (fig. A – no. 11, A).
o Activate the “MAX” or “ECO” mode (fig. A – no. 9).
p Connect the devices to the generating set sockets (fig. A – no. 8).
In case of overload or short-circuit, the operating light (fig. A – no. 11, A) switches–off and the overload indicator (fig. A – no. 11, B)
glows: Stop the generating set and eliminate the overload.
4.2.1 MAX-ECO mode
Fig. A – no. 9
MAX
When the button is in the “MAX” position, the generating set can react to a
large inrush current (at no load, it rotates at 5000 rpm).
ECO
The “ECO” position is useful for smaller loads. Between 0 and 400W, the
generating set consumes less and is quieter (at no load, it rotates at
4000 rpm).
From a load demand of 400W, the operating speed is the same whatever the position of the MAX-ECO button.
4.3. Switching off
n Shut down and disconnect the devices.
o Allow the engine to run idle for 1 or 2 min.
p Set the fuel tank aeration pointer to

F
F position (fig. A – no. 4 & fig. C – no. 1).
q Close the fuel tap (fig. A – no.3).
The generator set comes to a stop.
5. Safety features
5.1. Oil cut-out
If there is no oil in the engine sump or if the oil pressure is low, the oil safety mechanism automatically stops the engine to prevent any
damage.
If this occurs, check the engine oil level and top it up if necessary before looking for any other cause of the problem.
5.2. Circuit breaker
The set's electrical circuit is protected by one or more magnetothermal, differential or thermal cut-out switches. In the event of an
overload and/or short circuit, the supply of electrical energy may be cut.
If necessary, replace the circuit breakers in the generating set with circuit breakers with identical nominal ratings and specifications.
Warning
Always ensure suitable ventilation for the generating set.
Even after shut down, the engine continues to dissipate heat.
