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.
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 indica-
tors.
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.
BATTERY WITHOUT MAINTENANCE
The starter battery is supplied already
charged and ready for use.
Before starting the gen-set connect the
cable + (positive) to the pole + of the bat-
tery, by properly tightening the clamp. In
case of models with warning light: check
the state of the battery by means of the
indicator placed in the upper part.
- Green colour: battery OK
- Black colour: battery to be recharged
- White colour: battery to be replaced
DO NOT OPEN THE BATTERY.
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.
ATTENTION
Stop engine when fueling. Do not smoke 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 even-
tual leaks before starting up motor.
!
ATTENTION
It is dangerous to ll the motor with too much oil, as its com-
bustion can provoke a sudden increase in rotation speed.

SET-UP FOR OPERATION
(DIESEL ENGINE)
WATER COOLED SYSTEMS
COOLING LIQUID
Remove the tap and pour the liquid coolant into the radiator;
the quantity and composition of the liquid coolant are indicated
in the motor operating manual. Replace the tap, ensuring it is
perfectly closed.
After relling operations, allow the motor to run for a brief time
and check the level, as it may have diminished due to air bub-
bles present in the cooling circuit; restore the level with water.
To replace the liquid coolant, follow the operations described
in the motor operating manual.
ATTENTION:
The engine cooling system is originally lled with coolant type:
AGIP ANTIFREEZE EXTRA
During the engine life it is strongly recommended to use the
same coolant type. This is because a coolant change would
require a careful cleaning of the cooling system, which is not
an easy job. A lack in tacking these precautions would result in
the mix of different additives used in different coolants which
would originate gelatinous substances capable of obstructing
the cooling system.
ATTENTION
Do not remove the radiator tap with the motor in operation or
still hot, as the liquid coolant may spurt out and cause serious
burns. Remove the tap very carefully.
ATTENTION
A qualied electrician should carry out electrical connec-
tions according to the norms in force.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The electrical connection to the User system is a very impor-
tant operation: safety and good operation of the genset and
User system depend on a correct electrical connection.
Before supplying User system always check:
• that wires connecting gen-set to the user plant are suitable
to the supplied voltage and are in accordance to the appli-
cable rules;
• wire type, section and length have been calculated consi-
dering environment conditions and in force norms;
• ground is functioning correctly: earth fault relay device wor-
ks only if this connection is operating;
• that direction of the phases corresponds to the user plant
phase rotation, and none of the phases has been acciden-
tally connected to neutral.
