3. Preparation before use

3.1. Positioning the generating set for operation
Choose a site that is clean, well ventilated and sheltered from bad weather.
Place the generating set on a flat, horizontal surface which is firm enough to prevent the set sinking down (under no circumstances
should the set tilt in any direction by more than 10°).
Store the additional supplies of oil and fuel within close proximity, whilst maintaining a certain distance for safety.
3.2. Earthing the generating set
Danger
To connect the set to the ground: Attach a 10 mm
driven 1 meter into the ground.

3.3. Checking the oil level

Before starting the generating set, always check the engine oil level.
Top up with the recommended oil (see § Characteristics) using a funnel, up to the top limit of the gauge.
Important
Remove the oil filler gauge plug (fig. A - No. 2 & fig. B - No. 2) by unscrewing it, and wipe the gauge.
Insert the oil filler gauge plug into the filler neck (fig. B - No. 3) without screwing it, then remove it.
Visually check the level and top up if necessary.
Screw the oil filler gauge plug back fully into the filler neck.
Wipe off excess oil with a clean cloth, check that there are no leaks.
