NO
YES
The fuel level is correct.
Fill up with fuel
.
NO
YES
The fuel tap is
in the "ON" position.
Turn the fuel tap
to the "ON" position.
NO
YES
Does not function normally
(noise, smoke, etc.)
Maintenance has been correctly
performed on the generating set
components.
Perform maintenance on the generating set
in accordance with the recommendations
NO
YES
Have the generating set checked by one
of our agents*.
Does not supply
electrical current
The circuit breaker for the 12V socket
is triggered.
Press the circuit breaker for the 12V socket
to trigger it.
NO
YES
The capacity of the generating set is not
exceeded; the overload warning light is
off.
Reduce the load.
NO
YES
The connected devices and their power
cords are not faulty.
Try with another device and another power
cord.
NO
YES
Have the generating set checked by one
of our agents*.
8. Technical specifications
8.1. Operating conditions
The stated outputs of the generating sets are obtained under the reference conditions outlined in ISO 8528-1(2005):
Total barometric pressure: 100 kPa - Ambient air temperature: 25°C (298 K) - Relative humidity: 30%.
Generating set performance is reduced by approximately 4% for every additional 10° C and/or approximately 1% for every additional
100m in altitude. Generating sets can only operate while stationary.
8.2. Capacity of the generating set (overload)
Before connecting and operating the generating set, calculate the electrical power required by the devices to be used (in watts)*. When
running several devices simultaneously, never exceed the rated load of the generating set (in amps and/or watts) when it is operating
continuously.
*This load is usually indicated in the technical specifications or on the device manufacturer's plate. Some devices require a higher load
when starting. This minimum required power must not exceed the generating set's maximum power.
