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.
To connect the set to the ground: Attach a 10 mm

3.3. Checking the oil level
Before starting up the generating set, always check the engine oil level.
Top up with the recommended oil (see § Specifications) using a funnel, up to the upper limit on the dipstick.
Allow the generating set to cool down for at least 30 minutes before checking the oil level.
Remove the oil filler cap-dipstick (fig. A - no. 2 & fig. B - no. 2) and wipe it.
Replace the oil filler cap-dipstick and pull it out again.
Check the level visually. It should be within the upper limit (fig. B - no. 3) and the lower limit (fig. B - no. 4) on the dipstick. Correct
as required.
Replace the oil filler cap-dipstick.
Wipe off excess oil with a clean cloth and check that there are no leaks.
