3.2

Initial commissioning

On taking delivery and commissioning the unit:
1. Check that it is complete and not damaged in any way.
2. If the unit is fitted with a transport bracket, remove it.
The transport bracket is a metal plate located underneath the engine, close to the earth terminal.
Although useful for transportation, it will prevent optimum operation of the unit (noise, vibration).
To remove it: lift the unit slightly and place it on a block then remove the nut (1) and the clamp (2).
3. Check the oil and fuel levels and top them up if necessary.
4. If necessary, connect the battery, starting with the positive terminal.
Observe the polarity of the battery terminals when connecting it: as this could cause serious damage to the electrical equipment.
Some units require a running-in period. Contact your nearest agent for more information.
3.3 Installing the battery
1. Connect the red wire to the positive battery terminal (+) (A2).
2. Connect the black wire to the negative battery terminal (-).
3.4 Connecting Generator Smart Care
The unit may be equipped with the "GS101-Generator Smart Care" option (A19):
1. Secure the Bluetooth GSC101 box to the unit,
2. Download and install the free Generator Smart Care* application onto a mobile phone or tablet,
3. Create an account,
4. Activate Bluetooth on the phone or tablet,
5. Follow the instructions on the application to pair the phone or the tablet with the Bluetooth GSC101 box.
Generator Smart Care displays all the information needed to monitor the unit in the application; this includes maintenance date
alerts and reminders, a maintenance aid, and the map of approved resellers for any spare parts required.
*Available free from the App Store and Google Play (excluding any connection fees charged by the phone system operator).
Before using the unit, always:
1. Check that the unit is correctly installed and that it is ready to start.
2. Make sure you have understood all of the operating procedures.
To stop the unit in an emergency: turn the key to the "OFF" position and close the fuel tap(s), if fitted.
4.1 Positioning the generating set for operation
DANGER
1. Choose a clean, well ventilated and sheltered from bad weather site that is at least 1m away from building or other equipment.
2. Position the unit on a flat horizontal surface that has sufficient load-bearing capacity to prevent it from sinking.
The units are designed for stationary operation: they must not be installed on a vehicle or other mobile equipment unless a study taking
into account the different specific requirements for use of the unit has been carried out.
3. Check that the angle of the unit, in all directions, does not exceed 10°.
