INTRODUCTION Dear Customer, The Manufacturer shall not be liable for ANY USE OF THE PRO- We wish to thank you for having bought a high quality set. DUCT OTHER THAN THAT PRECISELY SPECIFIED IN THIS Our sections for Technical Service and Spare Parts will work at MANUAL and is thus not liable for any risks which may occur as best to help you if it were necessary.
CE MARKING GENERATING SETS Any of our product is labelled with CE marking attesting its conformity to appliable directives and also the fulfillment of safety requirements of the product itself; the list of these directives is part of the declaration of conformity included in any machine standard equipment.
SYMBOLS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SYMBOLS IN THIS MANUAL DANGER - The symbols used in this manual are designed to call your GENERAL ADVICE - If the advice is not respec- attention to important aspects of the operation of the machine ted damage can happen to persons or things.
WARNINGS FIRST AID. In case the operator shold be sprayed by accident, from corrosive liquids a/o hot toxic gas or whate- ver event which may cause serious injuries or death, predispose the first aid in accordance with the ruling labour accident standards or of local instructions.
SAFETY RULES GENERATING SETS - LIGHTING TOWERS GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Do not replace the tires with types different from the original + NOTE: the information contained in this manual are ones. subject to change without notice. • Check that the brakes and the optical signaling of the trailer are working properly.

SAFETY RULES GENERATING SETS - LIGHTING TOWERS 2.5.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING MAINTENANCE ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS FOR LIGHTING TOWERS • Make use of qualified personnel to carry out maintenance and troubleshooting. ATTENTION • It is mandatory to stop the engine before performing any maintenance on the machine.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE The generating set is a unit which transforms the mechanical energy, generated by combustion engine, into electric energy, through an alternator. The model GE SX-5000HBM / GE SX-7000HBM / GE SX-8000HBT is a super silenced generating set, running on gasoline with a compact design, its performances and features are above those of generating sets within the same category.
RECORDING DATA The manual is for the range of machines indicated on the front cover. With the scope to facilitate the search of the spare parts and maintain information of the bought machine, is necessary to record some data. Please write the requested data inside the squares to side: Model of machine Serial number of the machine Serial number of the engine...
MACHINE UNPACKING NOTE Be sure that the lifting devices are: correctly mounted, adequate for the weight of the machine with it’s packaging, and conforms to local rules and regulations. When receiving the goods make sure that the product has not suffered damage during the transport, that there has not been rough handling or taking away of parts contained inside the packing or in the set.
InstallatIon advIces environMental conditions General installation criteria Installation of a genset has to be planned by qualified and trained technicians, it has to be carried out by a competent attention organization with qualified personnel and proper equipment. attention Open gensets (SKID) have to be located in an area pro- tected from rain, snow, high humidity and direct exposure to the sun.
Page 15
In order to avoid potentially dangerous situations, area surrounding genset should be isolated so that unauthorized people will not be able to get close to the unit. Even if MOSA Engine and alternator when in operation produce heat: gensets are manufactured according to electromagnetic •...

InstallatIon advIces 2.6.2 Sample of outdoor installation with shelter Floor should be levelled and suitable to sustain genset weight. Thresholds on doors and openings should have a barrier in or- der to avoid liquids leaking. In case it is not possible to provide a door with a barrier, the genset should have a collection base appropriate for the quantity of liquid it contains, in any case dimensions of collection base must be in accordance to the...

InstallatIon advIces 2.6.3 For open gensets installed indoors, we recommend: Electro ventilator capacity can be calculated as follows: • The dimensions of the air outlets be such that they have at least the same area of the radiator; Transmitted heat [Kcal/h] •...
SET-UP FOR OPERATION (GASOLINE ENGINE) AIR COOLED BATTERY WITHOUT MAINTENANCE Check that the dry air filter is correctly installed and that there (WHEN ASSEBLED) are no leaks around the filter which could lead to infiltrations of non-filtered air to the inside of the motor. The supplied battery is generally ready for use.

STARTING MANUAL RECOIL FOR ELECTRIC STARTING VERSIONS check daily In case of lack of battery or low battery the engine can be started manually. After steps 1) and 2) of the STARTING paragraph, proceed as follows: 1) position the LOCAL START / REMOTE START (I6) selector NOTE on LOCAL START (only EAS version) 2) turn the start-up key (Q1) to the ON position.
STOPPING 26.1 STOPPING To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch to the OFF position. Under normal conditions, use the following procedure: 1) stop the power source, turning off the connected equipment, if they do not have a power switch, open the main switch of the machine (lever facing down) 2) allow the engine to run without any load for a few minutes 3) turn the starter key to the OFF position...
