4.2. Operation
When the running speed of the generating set has stabilised (approximately 3 minutes):
Check that the circuit breakers (fig. A - No. 10) are pushed down. Press if necessary.
Connect the appliances that are to be used to the electrical sockets (fig. A - No. 11) of the generating set.
The working hours counter (fig. A - No. 13) shows the number of hours that the generating set has worked.
4.3. Switching off
Tilt the noise deflector (fig. A - No. 14) forwards.
Disconnect the plugs (fig. A - No. 11) to let the engine run under no load for 1 or 2 minutes.
Set the on/off switch (fig. A - No. 8) to « OFF » or « O »: the generating set stops.
Close the fuel tap (fig. A - No. 5).
Refit the noise deflector.
Always make sure that the generating set is suitably ventilated.
Even after it has stopped, the engine will continue to dissipate heat.
Warning
5. Safety features
5.1. Oil cut-out
If there is no oil in the engine sump or if the oil pressure is low, the oil safety mechanism automatically stops the engine to prevent any
damage.
If this occurs, check the engine oil level and top it up if necessary before looking for any other cause of the problem.
5.2. Circuit breaker
The set's electrical circuit is protected by one or more magnetothermal, differential or thermal cut-out switches. In the event of an
overload and/or short circuit, the supply of electrical energy may be cut.
If necessary, replace the circuit breakers in the generating set with circuit breakers with identical nominal ratings and specifications.
6. Maintenance schedule
6.1. Reminder of use
The maintenance operations to be carried out are described in the maintenance schedule. 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.
If the generating set is used under extreme conditions, the interval between the maintenance operations must be shortened.
