4.4 Checking the fuel level and topping up
With the unit on a flat, level surface, visually inspect the fuel level on the indicator (A2): the red marker on the indicator should be
between the maximum level (F = full) and the minimum level (E = empty). If necessary, fill with fuel:
1. Fill up when the unit is switched off and the engine cold.
2. Unscrew the fuel tank cap (A3).
3. Fill the fuel tank using a funnel, taking care not to spill any fuel and checking the level at regular intervals: the fuel level
indicator must be at position "F".
Do not overfill the tank; there should not be any fuel in the filler neck.
4. Carefully tighten the fuel tank cap.
5. All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
4.5 Starting the generating set
1. Open the fuel tap (A5).
2. If the outside temperature is low or if the unit is cold, place the choke (A6) in the "I" or "
3. Move the switch (A7) to "
4. Slowly pull the starter-recoil reel handle (A8) until there is some resistance then let it return gently.
5. Then pull the starter-recoil reel handle quickly and sharply until the engine starts.
If the engine does not start, wait one minute before repeating the process no more than three times.
4.6 Using the electricity supplied
1. Allow the unit speed to stabilize and the temperature to rise (approx. 3 to 5 min.).
2. Connect the equipment to be used to the electrical sockets (A10) on the unit.
For France only: Our units are fitted with sockets where the earthing contact is made using side tabs.
In exceptional cases where the equipment is only fitted with an earthing pin, use an adaptor. After use,
always disconnect the adaptor and store it carefully, away from sources of moisture. Always ensure
that the socket cover on the unit is closed: risk of damage (loss of seal).
4.7 Switching the generating set off
1. Disconnect the equipment used, taking care to close the cover for the unit's electrical sockets (A10).
2. Allow the unit to run idle for 1 or 2 minutes.
3. Set the switch (A7) to "OFF" or "O ": the unit will shut down.
4. Close the fuel tap (A5).
5. Ensure the unit is properly ventilated and to avoid any risk of fire, wait for it to be fully cool before covering it and storing it.
Even when the unit is turned off, the engine continues to give off heat.
As a safety measure, maintenance should be performed on the generating set regularly and carefully by people who have the
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.
