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 and Stopping (Honda gX 200 / 270 / 390 gaSoLinE EnginE) 26.1 check daily ATTENTION: Allow the start-up knob to re-enter slowly, avoiding having it knock against the motor and thereby damaging the start-up system. 5. Once the engine is started, with the starter off, let it turn for NOTE a few minutes before drawing the load.
STARTING - STOPPING (KOHLER GASOLINE ENGINE) 26.2 check daily ATTENTION: Allow the start-up knob to re-enter slowly, avoiding having it knock against the motor and thereby damaging the start-up system. NOTE Do not alter the primary conditions of regulation and do not touch the sealed parts.
