LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDED OIL
The manufacturer recommends selecting AGIP
engine oil. Refer to the label on the motor for the
recommended products.
Please refer to the motor operating manual for the
recommended viscosity.
FUEL
Rell the tank with good quality diesel fuel, such as
automobile type diesel fuel, for example.
For further details on the type of diesel fuel to use,
see the motor operating manual supplied.
Do not ll the tank completely; leave a space of
approx. 10 mm between the fuel level and the wall
of the tank to allow for expansion.
In rigid environmental temperature conditions, use
special winterized diesel fuels or specic additives
in order to avoid the formation of parafn.
GROUNDING CONNECTION
The grounding connection to an earthed installation
is obligatory for all models equipped with a diffe-
rential switch (circuit breaker). In these groups the
generator star point is generally connected to the
machine’s earthing; by employing the TN or TT di-
stribution system, the differential switch guarantees
protection against indirect contacts.
In the case of powering complex installations re-
quiring or employing additional electrical protection
devices, the coordination between the protection
devices must be veried.
For the grounding connection, use the terminal (12);
comply to local and/or current regulations in force
for electrical installations and safety.
REFUELLING AND CONTROL:
Carry out refuelling and controls with motor at level
position.
1. Remove the oil-ll tap (24)
2. Pour oil and replace the tap
3. Check the oil level using the dipstick (23); the oil
level must be comprised between the minimum
and maximum indicators.
DRY AIR FILTER
Check that the dry air lter is correctly installed and
that there are no leaks around the lter which could
lead to inltrations of non-ltered air to the inside of
the motor.
OIL BATH AIR FILTER
Fill the air lter using the same engine oil up to the
level indicated on the lter.
ATTENTION
Stop engine when fueling. Do not smo-
ke or use open ames during refuelling
operations, in order to avoid explosions
or re hazards.
Fuel fumes are highly toxic; carry out
operations outdoors only, or in a well-
ventilated environment.
Avoid accidentally spilling fuel. Clean
any eventual leaks before starting up
motor.
ATTENTION
It is dangerous to ll the motor with too much oil,
as its combustion can provoke a sudden increase
in rotation speed.
