7 Repairing minor faults
The generating set… Check that: Solutions to be applied:
Does not start
The devices to be used have not been
connected prior to starting.
Disconnect the devices then try to restart
the generating set.
NO
YES
The spark plug is in good condition and
correctly connected.
Check the spark plug.
NO
YES
Stops
The oil level is correct.
Top up with oil.
NO
YES
The fuel level is correct.
Fill up with fuel.
NO
YES
The fuel tap(s) is/are open.
Open the fuel tap(s).
NO
YES
Does not function normally
(noise, smoke, etc.)
Maintenance has been correctly
performed on the generating set
components.
Perform maintenance on the generating
set in accordance with the
recommendations
NO
YES
Have the generating set checked by
one of our agents*.
Does not supply electrical
current
The circuit breaker(s) has/have been
tripped.
Check the capacity of the generating set
and press the circuit breakers.
NO
YES
The connected devices and their power
cords are not faulty.
Try with another device and another power
cord.
NO
YES
Have the generating set checked by
one of our agents.

7.1 Replace the spark plug.
1. Disconnect the spark plug cap (F1).
2. Use a dry air spray to clean the spark plug wells.
3. Use a spark plug spanner to unscrew the spark plug (A18-F2) and discard it.
4. Fit a new spark plug in position and tighten it by hand to avoid damaging the threads.
5. Use a spark plug spanner to tighten the spark plug by 1/2 turn after it is seated to compress the washer.
8 Technical specifications
8.1 Operating conditions
The stated outputs of the generating sets are obtained under the reference conditions outlined in ISO 8528-1(2005):
Total barometric pressure: 100 kPa - Ambient air temperature: 25°C (298 K) - Relative humidity: 30%.
Generating set performance is reduced by approximately 4% for every additional 10° C and/or approximately 1% for every
additional 100m in altitude. Generating sets can only operate while stationary.
8.2 Capacity of the generating set
Before connecting and operating the generating set, calculate the electrical power required by the devices to be used (in watts)*. To
ensure optimal operation, the total wattage of devices used at the same time must be:
- greater than 60% of the generating set's rated load (risk of overload);
- less than the generating set's rated load during continuous operation (risk of overload).
If the generating set is run under or over its rated load frequently or for long periods of time, it can start to wear very quickly.
Damage caused in this way will not be covered by the warranty.
*This load is usually indicated in the technical specifications or on the device manufacturer's plate. Some devices require a higher
load when starting. This minimum required power must not exceed the generating set's maximum power.
