3.5. Checking the air filter
Never use petrol or solvents with a low flash point for cleaning the air filter element (risk of fire or explosion).
Important
Loosen the air filter cover fasteners (fig. D - No. 1).
Remove the air filter cover (fig. D - No. 2) then the filtering elements (fig. D - No. 3 & 4) and visually check their condition.
Clean or replace the elements if necessary (see. § Cleaning the air filter).
Refit the filtering elements and the air filter cover.
Tighten the air filter cover fasteners.
Position the air filter to the "Normal" operating position.

4. Using the generator set

Before use:
- find out how to stop the generating set in an emergency,
- ensure you fully understand all the controls and manoeuvres.
To stop the generating set in an emergency, switch the control or the on/off key to "OFF" or "O".
Warning

4.1. Starting procedure

Check that the generating set is connected to the ground (see § Earthing the generating set).
Select the position of the air filter (fig. A - no. 7) in accordance with the operating conditions:
- for normal temperatures, select the "Normal" position (fig. D - no. 5),
- in the event of the risk of ice, select the "Low temperatures" position (fig. D - no. 6).
Turn the engine fuel tap (fig. A - no. 6 & fig. C - no. 1) to "
Bring the choke lever (fig. A - no. 8) to "I".
N.B: Do not use the choke when the engine is hot or when the atmospheric temperature is high.
Set the on/off switch (fig. A - no. 9) to
Pull the recoil starter handle once (fig. A - no. 10) gently until it engages and let it return gently to its initial position.
Then give the recoil starter a swift and strong pull to start the engine.
Gently bring the choke lever to "O" and wait for the engine temperature to rise before using the generating set.
If the engine does not start, repeat the operation until the engine starts by gradually opening the choke.
4.2. Operation
When the running speed of the generating set has stabilised (approximately 3 minutes):
Check that the circuit breaker (fig. A - No. 11) is pushed in. Press on it if necessary.
Connect the appliances that are to be used to the electrical sockets (fig. A - No. 12) of the generating set.

4.3. Switching off

Disconnect the electrical sockets (fig. A - No. 12) allowing the engine to run idle for 1 or 2 minutes.
Set the start & stop control (fig. A - No. 9) to "OFF" or "O": The generating set stops.
Close the fuel tap (fig. A - ref. 6 & fig. C - No. 1).
Always ensure suitable ventilation for the generating set.
Even after shut down, the engine continues to dissipate heat.
