2.7.4 Connection and choice of cables
For all connections, use flexible, strong rubber-sheathed cables which comply with standard IEC 60245-4 or equivalent cables, and
ensure that these are kept in perfect condition. Only use one class I electrical device per socket and connect up equipment using a
cable equipped with a PE protective conductor (green/yellow); this protective conductor is not required for class II equipment.
Adhere to the cross sections and lengths recommended in this table during installation or when using electrical extensions.

2.8 Risks during handling operations, use and maintenance
For safety reasons, all operations must be carried out by staff with the necessary skills and using suitable equipment. Maintenance
must be carried out regularly and properly using only original or equivalent parts. Gloves must be worn.

3 Getting started with the generating set

3.1 Key to illustrations
The cover illustrations can be used to identify the various components of the generating set. The procedures in the manual refer to
these illustrations using letters and numbers as identifiers, for example, (A1) refers to the number 1 on figure A.

RISK OF EXPLOSION
Respect the local regulations in force concerning the handling of petroleum products.
Filling should be carried out with the engine switched off and cold. Smoking, using a
naked flame or producing sparks are forbidden while the fuel tank is being filled. After
filling, always check that the tank's filler cap is properly tightened. Clean any traces of
fuel with a clean cloth and wait until the vapours have dispersed before starting the
generating set.
The fluids used by generating sets, such as oils and fuels, are dangerous products.
Never ingest them. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin.
RISK OF POISONING OR EXPLOSION
Follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations. Use insulated tools
only. Never use sulphuric acid or acid water to top up the electrolyte level.
Never leave the battery close to a flame or fire. Always ensure adequate
ventilation during charging.
