1.3.8 Safety guidelines for handling batteries
Never place the battery close to a flame or fire
Use only insulated tools
Never use sulphuric acid or acid water to top up the electrolyte level.
Danger
1.3.9 Protecting the environment
Never drain or discard used oil onto the ground, but put it into a designated container. As far as possible, try to avoid sound reverberating through
walls and buildings, as the noise will be amplified. If the exhaust silencer of your generating set is not fitted with a spark arrester and you need to use
it in wooded, bushy or uncultivated areas, be extremely careful and make sure that sparks do not cause a fire (clear vegetation from a fairly large area
where you wish to place your generating set).
1.3.10 Danger of moving parts
Never go near a moving part that is in operation if you have loose clothing or long hair that is not enclosed in a protective hair
net. Do not try to stop, slow down or impede a moving part when it is in operation.
Warning
1.3.11 Capacity of the generating set (overload)
Never exceed the rated load of the generating set (in Amps and/or Watts) when it is running continuously.
Before connecting and operating the generating set, calculate the electrical power required by the electric appliances (in Watts). This electrical power
rating is usually found on the manufacturer's plate on bulbs, electrical appliances, motors etc. The sum total of power required by these appliances
should not exceed the nominal power rating of the generating set.
1.3.12 Operating conditions
The stated outputs of the generating sets are obtained in example conditions according to ISO 3046-1:
+27° C, 100 m above sea-level, humidity level equal to 60 % or
+20° C, 300 m above sea-level, humidity level equal to 60 %.
Performance is reduced by approximately 4 % for every additional 10°C and/or approximately 1 % for every additional 100 m in altitude.

3. Preparation before starting
3.1. Checking the oil level (diagram G)
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 oil filler cap (1) and wipe the dipstick
Insert the dipstick into the filler neck but do not screw in place
Remove the dipstick and examine the oil level
If it requires topping up, top up with new approved oil to the top of filler tube (2). Wipe off excess oil with a clean cloth.
Refit the oil filler cap and screw in place.
3.2. Checking the fuel level (diagram F)
Switch off the motor before filling up with fuel and fill up in a well-ventilated area.
Do not smoke, or bring naked flames or sparks near to the area where you are filling with fuel or where the fuel is stored.
Only use clean fuel. No water should be present.
Danger
Do not overfill the tank (there should not be any fuel in the filler neck).
When you have filled up, ensure that the filler cap is properly tightened.
Take care not to spill any fuel when filling the tank.
If any fuel has been spilt, before starting up the generating set,make sure that it has dried and that any vapours have cleared.
Check the fuel level on the fuel gauge (no. 3 fig F) and fill with fuel as follows:
Unscrew fuel tank cap (2).
Fill tank (1) until "F" is displayed on the fuel level indicator,using a funnel taking care not to spill any fuel.
Screw the fuel filler cap back onto the fuel tank.
