5 Maintenance of the welding set
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.

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.

5.3.1 Topping up the 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 (A13-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 sediment bowl.
1.
Close the fuel tap (A4).
2.
With a suitable container and a funnel to hand, unscrew the fuel drain screw (C1).
3.
Screw the drain screw back in after draining.
4.
Remove the sediment bowl (A14-C2) and its seal (C3).
5.
Use clean fuel to clean the sediment bowl, then dry it completely.
6.
Check that the seal is in good condition; replace it if necessary.
7.
Refit the seal and the sediment bowl.
