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.
3.3. Checking the oil level
Before starting the generating set, always check the level of engine oil.
Supplement it with the recommended oil (see § Specifications) with the help of a funnel, up to the upper limit of
the gauge.
Important
n Open the inspection cover (fig. A – no. 2).
o Unscrew the oil filler plug (fig. B – no. 2).
p Check the oil level.
q If necessary supplement it.
r Screw back the filler plug.
s Wipe any excess oil with a clean cloth.
t Close the inspection cover (fig. A – no. 2).
