Preparation Before Use; Checking The Oil Level - SDMO AQUALINE TR 3.60 H Manual Del Usuario

Preparation before use

3.1 Positioning the generating set for operation
Place the motor pump on a sufficiently strong, flat and horizontal surface so that the electric pump cannot sink in (the inclination
must not exceed 10° in any direction).
Select a clean location, ventilated and protected from inclement weather, and provide an oil and fuel supply close to the place of
motor pump usage, while still maintaining a safe distance.
Select a location which will not impede the movement of people or vehicles.
Make sure that the motor pump remains stable and immobile while in operation. Don't forget that the suction hose tends to pull the
motor pump towards the water source during pumping.
Place the motor pump as close as possible to the liquid being drawn-in. The shorter the vertical distance between the motor pump
and the liquid surface, the more rapid the priming and the greater the volume of liquid pumped.
Submerge the strainer completely within the liquid, taking care that it is not blocked.
3.2

Checking the oil level

Before starting the generating set, always check the oil level. If the generating set was used beforehand, leave
the generating set to cool for at least 30 minutes before checking the oil level.
Top up the tank with the recommended oil (see § Specifications) using a funnel.
IMPORTANT
1. Remove the oil dipstick/filler plug (B - 2) by unscrewing it, and wipe the dipstick.
2. Insert the oil dipstick/filler plug in the filler neck (B - 3) without tightening it, then take it out again.
3. Check the level and top up if necessary.
4. Retighten the dipstick/filler plug fully in the filler neck.
5. Check that there are no oil leaks, and wipe away any traces of oil with a clean cloth.
OR
1. Take out the oil filler cap (B - 4). The level should be at the filler neck overflow point. Top up if necessary.
2. Screw the oil filler cap back on fully
3. Check that there are no oil leaks, and wipe away any traces of oil with a clean cloth.
3.3 Checking the fuel level
DANGER
1. Unscrew the fuel tank cap (A - 1).
2. Visually check the fuel level.
3. If necessary, top up with clean fuel free from water:
Fill the fuel tank using a funnel, taking care not to spill any fuel.
Do not overfill the tank (there should not be any fuel in the filler neck).
4. Screw the fuel tank cap back on.
3.4 Checking the air filter
Leave the air inlet hose in place during the operation; never undo the air inlet hose clip. Never use petrol or
flammable solvents for cleaning the air filter element (risk of fire or explosion).
IMPORTANT
1. Remove the nut & the air filter cover (D - 1 & D - 2).
2. Remove the wing nut (D - 3) then the filtering elements (D - 5 & D - 4) & visually check their condition.
3. Clean or replace the elements if necessary (see. § Clean or replace the air filter).
4. Refit the filter elements, wing nut, then the cover and its nut.
RISK OF EXPLOSION
Respect the local regulations in force concerning the handling of petroleum products.
Filling should be carried out with the engine switched off and cold. Smoking, using a
naked flame or producing sparks are forbidden while the fuel tank is being filled.
After filling, always check that the tank cap is properly tightened. Clean any traces of fuel
with a clean cloth and wait until the vapours have dispersed before starting the engine.
