3. Preparation before starting
3.1. Checking the oil level
Always check the engine oil level before starting.
Checking and topping up should be carried out with the generating set on a horizontal surface.
Open the engine cover by undoing the clamps (rep.11, fig. A) either side and position the support stay (no. 10, diag. A) to keep
the cover open.
Remove the dipstick/plug (rep.1, fig.C) by unscrewing it, and wipe the dipstick.
Insert the dipstick into the filler neck but do not screw it in place.
Check the level and top up if necessary. If it is necessary:
Using a funnel, fill the engine oil sump right up to the top of the filler opening.
Screw the plug fully back onto the filler tube.
Check that there are no leaks.
Wipe off excess oil with a clean cloth.
Remove the support stay and replace it in its housing, then close the engine cover and lock the clamps.
Fault/alarm types
Plug preheating
Engine temperature fault
Battery or charging alternator fault

Non-starting fault
Overspeed fault
Meaning of faults

engine to stop as a general fault)
Problem with the alternator charge output or
weak battery
Incorrect oil pressure or low oil level (causes
the engine to stop as a general fault)
3 consecutive unsuccessful starting attempts.
