4.5 Starting the generating set
1. Put the economic idle speed (A15) in the
2. Turn the fuel tap (A16) to ON.
3. If the outside temperature is low, or if the engine is cold, pull the starter (A17) fully.
4. Set the switch (A7) to
The generating set starts and the operating warning light (A18) comes on.
4.5.1 Manually start the generating set
In the event of an electric starting fault, start the generating set manually:
1. Set the switch (A7) to the
2. Slowly pull the starter/recoil reel handle (A19) until there is some resistance, then let it return slowly.
3. Pull the starter-recoil reel handle hard, quickly then let it return to its initial position slowly.
If the generating set does not start, repeat the operation until the engine starts.
4. The generating set starts and the operating warning light (A18) comes on.
4.6 Using the electricity supplied
1. Allow the unit speed to stabilise and the temperature to rise (approx. 3 to 5 min.).
2. Press the starter (A17) gradually to return it to its original position.
The unit should not shut down.
3. Connect the equipment to be used to the electrical socket (A20) on the unit.
4. Put the economic idle speed (A15) in the
If devices requiring considerable starting current are being used, leave the economic idle speed switch in the

tabs. In exceptional cases where your units require the use of earthing pins, we supply* a 16 A pin adaptor (compliant with
NF C 61-314).
*Contact our sales department on 0 825 004 002 (calls charged at €0.15 per min inc. tax) and provide proof of purchase.
After use, always disconnect the adaptor and store it carefully, away from sources of humidity. Always ensure

4.7 Charging a battery (12V socket)
This unit is equipped with a 12 V socket (A21) which can be used for occasional brief battery charging operations up to 40Ah
maximum, when semi-discharged.
1. Disconnect the battery and remove it from the vehicle.
2. Start the unit.
3. Connect the red cable to the positive battery terminal (+).
4. Connect the black cable to the negative battery terminal (-).
5. Press the circuit breaker of the 12V socket (A22) then connect the charging cables of the battery to the 12V socket of the
unit.
6. Put the economic idle speed (A15) in the
7. Check the battery regularly using a hydrometer (acidimeter) and use a charge controller to monitor the charge.
The unit does not have a charge controller, therefore the charge is not regulated or limited.
8. Once charging is complete, switch off the unit then disconnect the cables from the battery and the unit.
9. Store the cables and refit the battery in the vehicle, observing the polarities.
Simultaneous use of the electrical socket and 12V socket is possible, but the total consumption in watts (W) must not exceed the
nominal power of the unit.
4.8 Switching the generating set off
1. Shut down and disconnect the equipment used from the electrical sockets (A20) or the battery from the 12V socket (A21),
taking care to close the unit's socket cover.
2. Put the economic idle speed (A15) in the
3. Set the switch (A7) to
The unit will shut down.
4. Turn the fuel tap (A16) to OFF.
