5. Generating set maintenance

The maintenance operations to be carried out are detailed in the maintenance table. The interval for this is supplied as a guide and for
generating sets operating with fuel and oil which conform to the specifications given in this manual. Shorten the maintenance intervals
according to the conditions in which the generating set is used, and as required (for example, clean the air filter more frequently if the
generating set is used in dusty environments).
5.1. Reminder of use
As a safety measure, maintenance should be performed on the generating set regularly and carefully by people who have the
necessary experience and are equipped with suitable tools. Any warranty becomes void in the event of failure to respect the
maintenance recommendations. For any questions about a special operation, please contact your nearest agent who will advise and
help you.

IMPORTANT
Only use original parts or equivalent parts to prevent damage to the generating set. To perform proper maintenance operations, it is
necessary to open the access cover or undo the inspection flap on the generating set; close or retighten them as soon as these
operations have been performed.
5.3.1 Top up the oil
The used oil and filter must be recycled or eliminated according to the local regulations in force. In order for the drain operation to be
more effective, it is advisable to run the generating set for around ten minutes before the drain operation in order to make the oil more
fluid.


Tilt the generating set slightly to drain the oil into a suitable container.
Do not tilt the generating set completely onto its side.

Once drainage is complete, fill up with the recommended oil (see § Specifications), and check the level.
Too much or too little oil can damage the generating set engine.
