The APM202 automatically performs 3 starting attempts. If the unit does not start, repeat the procedure once only.

4. Use the working hours counter (A13) to monitor the running time of the unit.

necessary experience and are equipped with suitable tools, in respect of current regulations. The maintenance operations to be
carried out are detailed in the maintenance table. The interval for this is supplied as a guide and for generating sets operating with
fuel and oil which conform to the specifications given in this manual. The maintenance intervals can be shortened depending on the
generating set's operating conditions and requirements. It is important to note that the warranty shall not be valid if generating set
maintenance has not be performed correctly.
5.1 Reminder of use
Ensuring maintenance is performed regularly and correctly will guarantee safety and performance. The oil, filter elements and,
where present, the spark plug, are consumables which must be in good condition for the unit to operate correctly.
Replace them regularly as often as is needed (the reference for ready-to-use maintenance kits is given in the table of
technical specifications where applicable). The warranty becomes void in the event of failure to respect the maintenance
recommendations. For any questions about a special operation, please contact your nearest agent who will advise and help you.
