6.2  Turning the generating sets off 

 
To stop the generating set, set the switch 1 to its 
"OFF" position (Fig.31 Ref.1). 

The generating set is 

provided with an internal combustion engine, 
therefore, the fuel used is highly flammable. 
The exhaust gases are conveyed under the 
casing; their temperature, inevitably, is quite 
high, even though they are mixed with 
cooling air. 
Do not touch the casing areas near the 
exhaust, and do not put your hands or any 
objects inside the casing. 
 

6.3   Information on not recommended uses 

These generating sets 

must be installed and used by qualified and 
authorised personnel only, according to the 
manufacturer’s instructions. These 
generating sets must only and exclusively be 
used to produce electrical power on vehicles 
provided with an electrical system built to 
standards and according to the quantity of 
power delivered. 
 
6.3 Useful 

tips 

To make the best use of the generating sets, 
remember that even minor overloads - if they last 
long enough - will operate the thermal cut-out 
switches (Fig.31 Ref.3). 

During the running-in period, do not subject the 
new engine to loads exceeding 70% of the rated 
load, at least for the first 50 running hours. 

 
6.5   Control and alarm functions (Fig. 30) 

2 Display:

 when the generating set has started 

up, the total running hours will be displayed. 
Press the key provided below the control panel 
display unit (Fig.30 Ref.9) to display the number 
of generating set operation hours since the latest 
engine oil change. 

3 High temperature indicator

: this warning light 

will light up when the temperature of the 
generating set goes over its safety value; the 
engine will stop at the same time. 

4 Engine oil minimum level indicator

: this 

warning light will light up to indicate that oil in the 
engine has gone below the minimum level. A 
safety system will kill the engine automatically to 
prevent failures. 

5 Engine startup failed

: this warning light will 

light up to indicate that the generating set has not 
started up, after all four start-up attempts. 

7 Change oil

: this warning light will light up when 

the engine has reached 100 running hours since 
the latest oil change. Every time the oil is 
changed, the After-sales service staff must reset 
the timer to zero. 

8 Fuel warning:

 this warning light will light up 

when the fuel level inside the extra tank has gone 
below its reserve level (about 4 litres) 

9 Display time changeover switch:

 press this 

switch to display the running hours since the 
latest engine oil change. 

10 Reset:

 When the display shows characters 

without any apparent logic, the panel needs to be 
reinitialised. Press the Reset key (Fig.30 Ref. 10) 
and, holding it down, switch on the panel. When 
4 zeroes (0000) are displayed, the panel has 
been reinitialised.

6.6  Control panel alarm causes and resetting 
 

During generating set use, alarm signals may be 
displayed referring to engine oil checks. After 
checking the engine oil, the control panel must 
be reset in the following way: 
 

Alarm: the red ‘service’ light is flashing. 
Cause:  50 hours have elapsed since the latest 
engine oil change and oil level should be 
checked. 
How to reset the alarm: press the partial 
counter key (Fig.30 Ref.9) and while holding it
