2.10.5 Risks of magnetic interference
Persons fitted with a pacemaker must consult their doctor before any involvement in welding
operations. The magnetic fields may affect pacemakers, and may cause interference to
sensitive electronic equipment such as computers and computer-controlled equipment such
IMPORTANT
as robots, and radionavigation and communication equipment.
Check that all equipment used within the welding zone is electromagnetically compatible. To reduce the possibility of interference,
keep the welding cables as short as possible, group them together and lay them as low as possible (preferable on the ground).
Ensure that welding is performed at least 100 metres away from any sensitive electronic equipment and that the welding unit is
installed and earthed in accordance with these instructions. If there is interference after the above measures have been taken, the
user is responsible for taking additional measures such as moving the unit, using shielded cables, using line filters or fitting
protective units within the work zone.
3 Getting started with the welding set
3.1 Key to illustrations
The cover illustrations can be used to identify the various components of the unit. The procedures in the manual refer to these
illustrations using letters and numbers as identifiers: "A1" refers to the number 1 on figure A.

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.
4 Using the welding set
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 engine switch to "OFF" or "O" and close the fuel tap(s), if fitted.
4.1 Positioning the generating set for operation
RISK OF POISONING - CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon monoxide is invisible, odorless and non-irritating and can cause death in less than an hour.
Always use the unit in a well ventilated area where the gases cannot accumulate.
In the event of headache, nausea or vomiting: stop the unit immediately, ventilate and evacuate the
area and call for help.
DANGER
1. Choose a site that is clean, well ventilated and sheltered from bad weather.
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°.
4.2 Checking the welding set is in a good general condition (bolts, hoses)
Inspect the entire unit before start-up and after each use to prevent any faults or damage.
1. Check that the unit is clean, in particular the air intake zones (engine air intake, air vents, air filter, etc.).
2. Check all of the unit's pipes and hoses to ensure they are in good condition and that there are no leaks.
Pipes or hoses must be replaced by a specialist technician. Please contact your nearest agent.
3. Tighten any loose bolts.
The cylinder head bolts must be retightened by a specialist technician. Please contact your nearest agent.
