1. Preface

1.1. General recommendations

The information contained in this manual is taken from technical data available at the time of print. In line with our policy of continually
improving the quality of our products, this information may be amended without warning.
Read the safety instructions attentively in order to prevent any accident, incident or damage. These instructions must be adhered to
constantly.
In order to obtain optimum efficiency and the longest possible service life for the generating sets, maintenance operations must be
carried out according to the periods indicated in the attached maintenance tables. If the generating set is used under dusty or
unfavourable conditions, some of these periods will be shorter.
Ensure that all adjustments and repairs are carried out by personnel who have received appropriate training. Our agents possess this
qualification, and can answer all of your questions. They can also supply you with spare parts and other services and they have
qualified staff to carry out preventive and corrective maintenance or even total reconditioning of generating sets.
The left and right sides can be seen from the back of the generating set (the radiator is at the front).
Note: some user and maintenance manuals for engines fitted to generating sets cover control units and include the start-up and shut
down procedures for the engines.
As our generating sets are fitted with control units that are specific to the generating sets; only the information that appears in the
documentation for the generating set control units should be taken into consideration.
In addition, depending on the manufacturing criteria of the generating sets, some engines may be fitted with specific electrical wiring
different to that described in the engine documentation.
