3.3. Checking the oil level

Before starting the generating set, always check the level of engine oil. Supplement it with the recommended oil (see
§ Specifications) with the help of a funnel, up to the upper limit of the gauge.
Important
n
Open the inspection cover (fig. A – no. 2).
o
Unscrew the oil filler plug (fig. B – no. 2).
p
Check the oil level.
q
If necessary supplement it.
r
Screw back the filler plug.
s
Wipe any excess oil with a clean cloth.
t
Close the inspection cover (fig. A – no. 2).
3.4. Checking the fuel level
The fuel must be refilled when the engine is off and according to safety guidelines (see § Filling with fuel).
Before opening the fuel tank cap, always set the fuel tank aeration pointer to the

Unscrew the fuel tank cap (fig. A – no. 5).
q
Check the fuel level. Taking care not to spill the fuel, use a funnel to fill the tank up to its filling limit.
Use only clean fuel without any water. Do not overfill the tank (there should not be any fuel in the filler neck). After
the tank has been filled, always ensure that the filler plug is properly tightened. If any fuel has been spilt, make sure
that it has dried and that any vapours have cleared before starting up the generating set.
Important
r
Screw the fuel filler cap back onto the fuel tank.

Set the fuel tank aeration pointer of the fuel tank to
3.5. Checking the air filter
Before starting the generating set, check the air filter.
Important
n
Open the inspection cover (fig. A – no. 2)
o
Unlock the air filter and remove its cover (fig. D – no. 1).
p
Check the condition of filter element, if necessary clean it (see § Cleaning of air filter).

4. Using the generator set

4.1. Starting procedure

To restart the generating set after a stoppage of more than 10min or when the fuel level has come down by at least half the tank level,
pressurise the fuel tank by using the pressurisation pump (see § Usage of tank pressurisation pump).
n
Check that the generating set is properly earthed (fig. A- no. 1 & see § Earthing the generating set).
o
Set the fuel tank aeration pointer to
p
Open the fuel tap (fig. A – no.3).
q
Set the choke (fig. A – no.6) to «
N.B: Do not use the starter when the engine is hot or when the atmospheric temperature is high.
r
Gently pull the recoil starter once (fig. A – no. 7) until resistance encountered, allow it to return back slowly.
s
Then, pull the recoil starter quickly and powerfully until the engine starts-up.
t
Slowly place the choke in «
4.1.1 Usage of tank pressurisation pump
The fuel tank must be pressurised with the help of a pump:
- after a shut down of the generating set for over 10 minutes,
- when the fuel level has dropped by at least half of the tank level.
Never use the fuel tank pressurisation pump when the fuel level is more than half of the tank level (generating set
deterioration risk).
