Page 11: Preliminary Inspections
4.1.3 Declassing The performance specifications of a generator are strictly related to the environmental conditions in which it operates. In particular, the performance functions may be declassed due to the temperature, relative humidity and operating altitude. To know the extent of the declassing effect, it is recommended to refer to the Use and Maintenance Manuals pertaining to the engine and alternator or you may contact the technical department. - Page 12 The type of oil that is to be used must be that stipulated by the engine manufacturer (refer to the User Guide of the engine). Preparing the battery In some cases, acid is supplied together with the batteries and therefore, before using the latter, they must be filled and charged by means of an external battery/battery charger.
- Page 13 Unless specified otherwise, the maximum short-circuit current tolerated by the equipment is less than 10kA. Electrical maintenance Any equipment inspections and verification must be carried out solely by specifically trained personnel and always in strict compliance with safe working practices. N.B.
- Page 14 Dry any spilt diesel before starting-up the generator. Verify what type of fuel is necessary (diesel) before filling up the tank. If the wrong fuel is put into the tank, this must be emptied from the tank and the pipes and the correct fuel can then be used. Do not start the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated area unless an appropriate study has been implemented for this kind of installation.

cases, refer to the User Manual of the junction box. The low oil pressure protection does not emit a warning on the scale of the engine oil level. It is therefore fundamental to check this level on a daily basis. 6. -
Page 16: Cleaning / Replacing The Air Filter
Moreover, the manual also contains a detailed description and illustration of the procedure and necessary steps to follow to replace the oil filter cartridge. Contact CPS for service parts. Refer to the Use and Maintenance Manual of the engine... -
Page 17: Alternator Maintenance
The positive terminal of the battery must be covered with Vaseline grease so as to prevent it from corroding and becoming oxidized. Contact CPS for service parts. Already prepared sulphuric acid solutions must be used when filling the battery for the first time (batteries are supplied dry). -
Page 18: Periods Of Inactivity
Batteries contain materials that are hazardous to the environment and are not to be disposed of as domestic waste. Old batteries are to be treated as special waste and disposed of in the special containers that are found in all retail outlets where batteries are sold. Storage If the generator is to be stored for a long period of time, it must be protected from the rain and wind and possibly stored in a dry place. -
Page 19: Faults Table
6.11 Faults table Any equipment inspections, verification and maintenance operations must be carried out solely by specifically trained personnel and always in strict compliance with safe working practices. The generator goes off whilst being used. - Verify if a protection has been triggered and the relative warning light has lit up. (Resolve the problem and try to start-up once again) - Verify that there is fuel in the tank. -
Page 20: General Warnings
