1.3.2 General advice
On taking delivery of the generating set, check that it is complete and not damaged in any way. A generating set should be handled
gently and brusque movements should be avoided. Ensure that the place where it is to be stored or used is carefully prepared
beforehand.
Warning
Before use:
- make sure you know how to stop the generating set in the event of an emergency,
- make sure you completely understand all the controls and operations.
For reasons of safety, the maintenance intervals must be respected (see Maintenance table). Never carry out repairs or maintenance
procedures without the necessary experience and/or tools.
Never let other people use the generating set without having given them all the necessary instructions beforehand.
Never let children touch the generating set, even when it is not in operation. Do not operate the generating set near animals (as it could
cause them to panic or frighten them).
Never start the engine without an air filter or exhaust.
Never invert the positive and negative terminals on the battery (if fitted) when fitting them as this could cause serious damage to the
electrical equipment.
Never cover the generating set with any type of material while it is in operation or just after it has been turned off. Wait until the motor is
cold.
Never coat the generating set with oil, even to protect it from corrosion; preservative oils are flammable and can be dangerous if
inhaled.
In all cases, respect the local regulations currently in place concerning the use of generating sets.
