Checking the fluid retention container
Some electrical generating set models are equipped with the retention container option which is used to recover any outflow of the
fluids contained in the electrical generating sets (fuel, oil and coolant, if present).
After the electrical generating set has been used and switched off, check that there are no fluids (fuel, oil, coolant, rain water or
condensation, etc.) in the retention container. If necessary, drain the container using a vacuum device and transfer the contents to a
suitable container. The fluids used in electrical generating sets are classed as toxic waste and must be processed according to the
applicable regulations.
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.
5.2
Maintenance intervals table
The maintenance frequency is given as an indication only and is for devices using fuel and oil complying with the specifications

Perform the maintenance operations at the indicated due dates even if the number of hours' operation has not been reached. The
warranty will be invalidated if maintenance of the unit has not been performed correctly.

Performing the maintenance operations
1.
Shut down the unit and wait at least 30 minutes for it to cool.
2.
Disconnect the cap(s) of the spark plug(s) and disconnect the negative "-" terminal on the battery (if fitted).

Carry out maintenance in accordance with the information given in this manual and, to avoid the risk of damage to the unit,
only use original parts or their equivalent.
5.3.1
Drain the engine oil
To ensure that the oil service is performed quickly and correctly, the oil must be changed when the engine is warm (start the unit
and allow it to run for a few minutes if necessary).
1.
Place a suitable container under the oil drain screw (A11-B5), then remove the oil dipstick/filler plug (A2-B1) and the oil
drain screw.
2.
After draining completely, carefully refit the oil drain screw.
3.
Use a funnel to top up with oil (using oil which complies with the specifications given in this manual), and regularly check the level.
The oil level must be between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. If the oil level is too low, keep topping it up. If the oil
level is too high, drain some off.
4.
Refit and tighten the oil dipstick/filler plug.
5.
Wipe away any traces of oil with a clean cloth and check that there are no leaks.
5.3.2
Clean the screen filter
1.
If fitted: close the fuel tap.
2.
Unscrew the fuel tank cap (A3).
3.
Remove the screen filter (A4) located inside the fuel tank.
4.
With a low-pressure dry air gun, blow air through the screen filter, from the outside inwards.
5.
Rinse it using clean fuel and dry it. Replace it if it is damaged.
6.
Put the screen filter back inside the tank and screw the cap back onto the fuel tank.
