This symbol indicates a dangerous situation if the warning is not heeded. Not following this instruction could result in non-serious injury or damage. Warning 1.3.2 General advice One of the fundamental safety considerations is observation of the interval between maintenance procedures (see maintenance schedule).
1.3.6 Filling with fuel The fuel is highly flammable and its vapours are combustible. Smoking, using a naked flame or producing sparks are forbidden while the fuel tank is being filled. Filling should be carried out with the motor turned off. All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth. Danger Always place the generating set on a flat, level and horizontal surface to avoid fuel spillage from the tank onto the motor.
3. Preparation before starting 3.1. Checking the oil level Always check the engine oil level before starting. Checking and topping up should be carried out with the generating set on a horizontal surface. Remove the grey-coloured plug-gauge (no. 1, Fig. B) on the exhaust side by unscrewing it, and wipe the gauge. Insert the gauge into the filler neck (no.
4.3. Electric current voltage selection Unplug the connected devices if necessary Put the switch on the desired voltage (no. 17, diag A), then plug back the devices on the sockets 4.4. Switching off When the generating set is turned off, the engine continues to give off heat. Appropriate ventilation should be provided after the generating set is turned off.
7. Maintenance procedures 7.1. Cleaning the air filter Never use petrol or solvents with a low flash point for cleaning the air filter element as this could result in a fire or explosion. Danger Remove the wing nut (no. 1, fig. C) attaching the air filter cover (no. 2, fig. C), then remove the latter. Remove the wing nut attaching the filter.

7.6. Checking bolts, nuts and screws Daily, detailed checks of all nuts, bolts and screws are essential in order to prevent any accidents or breakdowns. Inspect the generating set as a whole before and after each use. Tighten any loose nuts or screws. NB: the tightening of cylinder head bolts should be carried out by a specialist.
