2. Getting started with the generating set
2.1. Key to illustrations
The cover illustrations can be used to identify the various components of the generating set. The procedures in the manual refer to
these illustrations using letters and numbers as identifiers, for example, (A1) refers to the number 1 on figure A.

2.2. Initial commissioning
On taking delivery of the generating set, check that it is complete and not damaged in any way. If the generating set is equipped with a
transport bracket located on the engine, remove it. Top up the oil (if necessary) and fuel, and connect the battery (if fitted). Never invert
the positive and negative terminals on the battery (if fitted) when connecting it, as this could cause serious damage to the electrical
equipment. Some generating sets require a running in period. Contact your nearest agent for more information.
3. Using the generator set
3.1. Positioning the generating set for operation
The generating sets are intended to operate while stationary. They may not be installed on a vehicle or other
mobile equipment unless a study has been carried out analysing the various installation and usage
specifications. It is prohibited to use the generating set whilst it is in motion.
IMPORTANT

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 generating set sinking down (under no
circumstances should the set tilt in any direction by more than 10°).

The stocks of additional oil and fuel must not be located near to the generating set when it is in operation or still hot.
