Getting Started With The Generating Set - SDMO PRO 2000 Instruction And Maintenance Manual

2.5. Risk of fire
DANGER
2.6. Risk of burns
Never touch the engine or the silencer while the generating set is in operation, or when it has just stopped. Wait
for the engine to cool before carrying out any work (at least 30 minutes).
IMPORTANT
Hot oil burns; avoid contact with the skin. Before carrying out any operation, check that the system is no longer pressurised. Never start
or run the engine if the oil filler cap is off (oil may splash out).
2.7. Guidelines for protecting the environment
Drain the engine oil into a designated container: never drain or discard engine oil onto the ground.
As far as possible, avoid sound reverberating through walls or buildings (the noise will be amplified).
If the generating set is used in wooded, bushy or uncultivated areas and if the exhaust silencer is not fitted with a spark arrester, clear
any vegetation away from the area and take care that the sparks do not cause a fire. Once the generating set is no longer being used
(end of product life), take it to a waste collection point.

3. Getting started with the generating set

3.1. 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, (A; - 1) refers to the number 1 on figure A.

3.2. 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. Fill up with oil 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.
RISK OF FIRE
Never operate the generating set in areas containing flammable products (risk of sparks).
Keep all inflammable or explosive materials (petrol, oil, fabric, etc.) out of the way. when
the generating set is operating. Never cover the generating set with any type of material
while it is in operation or just after it has been switched off: always wait until the engine
cools down (at least 30 minutes).
