Safety Precautions

The electric power generated by the diesel engine of the generator can be used for many kinds of electric appliances. When handling it, please keep to the following matters. Please make sure you review each precaution carefully.

Warning
EXHAUST PRECAUTIONS

• Never inhale exhaust gasses. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless and extremely dangerous gas which can cause unconsciousness or death.
• Never operate the generator indoor or in a poorly ventilated area, such as tunnel, cave, etc. Exercise extreme care when operating the generator near people or animals. Keep the exhaust pipe free of foreign objects.

Warning
REFUELING PRECAUTIONS

• Do not refuel indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Be sure to stop the generator prior to refueling. Do not overfill the tank. If fuel is spilt, wipe it away carefully before starting the engine.

Warning
WHEN CHARGING THE BATTERY

• Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid. Be careful of your eyes, skin and clothing. Flush thoroughly with water and get prompt medical attention in case of contacts, especially if your eyes are affected.
• Charge the battery in a fully ventilated place.
• Be sure to confirm battery polarity.

Warning
OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Be careful of hot parts.
  The muffler and other engine parts become very hot while the engine is running or just after it has stopped.
  Operate the engine in a safe area and keep children away from the running engine.

• Where to use the generator
  Do not use it near flammables. Use it more than 1 meter away from buildings or any other facilities.

• When using the generator
  Do not tip or move.
  Do not cover it with a box or fence it around.
  Never unscrew the dipstick when using the generator set, or else scald will be caused by ejective oil. Do not touch the generator in the rain. And, do not splash wat.er or touch with wet hand.

Before Starting

Before starting the engine. check the generator set on the place where it is flat by placing it horizontally.

3-1 Checking and selecting engine oil

Warning

• The engine may be damaged if operated with insufficient lube oil. It is also dangerous to supply too much lube oil to the engine because a sudden increase in engine rpm could be caused by its combustion. Always check the lube oil level before starting the engine and refill if necessary.
• Make sure to check oil level and to refill with oil to the specified level before starting the generator even though it is equipped with a low oil pressure warning system.

Use proper lube oil to preserve your engine
ENGINE OIL
We recommend A.P.I engine service classification of CC or CD. Always use the oil with the right viscosity for the ambient temperature in which your engine is being operated. Use the chart right side for choosing your engine oil.
Lube oil capacity (L) 1.7

Caution

• When checking the oil level, make sure your engine is sitting level. If it is tilted, you may add either too much or too little oil. If you overfill, your engine will consume too much oil and the oil temperature will become dangerously high if you do not add enough oil, your engine could seize up.
• When checking the oil, simply dip the dipstick into the oil pan. Do not screw in the dipstick.
• Be sure to check the engine on a level surface with the engine stopped.
• Keep the oil screw plug in the bonnet except adding oil. If the plug is not in place, rain, dirt, and other contaminants may enter the engine and cause accelerated wear out (abrasion) of internal parts. This can cause serious problems.

3-2 Selection and handling of fuel oil
Only use diesel light oil.

When filling the fuel tank from drums, make sure that no dust or water are mixed in the fuel. This may lead to serious fuel-injection pump and nozzle problems.

• Only use the recommended diesel fuel oil.
  Use of non-recommended fuel may cause the engine damage.

• Fuel should have a cetane value of more than 45 in order to prevent difficult starting, misfiring, and white exhaust smoke.

• Diesel fuel oil substitutes are not recommended; they may be harmful to the fuel system components.

• Fuel should be free of water or dust because these cause trouble in the fuel injection pump and nozzle.
  After purchasing fuel: Allow drum to stand 3-4 days.
  After 3-4 days: Put a suction pipe halfway into the drum. (Water and dust accumulate in the lower position of the drum.)

Warning

• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
• Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overfill the tank and make sure the filter cap is securely closed after refueling.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling if any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.

Overfill is dangerous. Do not fill the tank beyond the top of the red plug inside the fuel tank filter.

Fuel Tank Capacity (L) 15

3-3 Connecting the battery

1. Unscrew / Remove the battery bracket

2. Remove the battery terminal coverConnect the wires to the battery terminals. Caution
   Respect the connection order (BLACK first, then RED second)

3. Secure the battery bracket

Starting

4-1 Electric starting

(1) Starting

a. Set the fuel cock (A) at the “O” (Open) position.

A. Open the fuel cock
b. Set the engine speed lever (B) to “RUN” position.

c. Turn the starting key clockwise to “START” position.
d. Remove your hand from the key as soon as the engine starts.
e. If the engine does not start after 10 seconds, wait a while (for about 15 seconds) before attempting to start again.

CAUTION
If the starting motor is working for too long, the battery will go flat and motor seize up will occur. Always leave the starting key turned on, at the “ON” position, while the engine is running.
(2) Battery
Check the level of the fluid in the battery every month. When the level has dropped to the lower mark replenish with distilled water up to the upper mark.

• If the battery fluid is short, the engine may not start because too little electricity is reaching the starter motor. Always keep the fluid level between the upper and lower limits.
• If too much battery fluid is supplied, the fluid may spill and corrode the surrounding parts.

For models equipped with decompression lever, follow 4-2 Electric starting using decompression (weak battery)
4-2 Electric starting using decompression (weak battery)
If the battery is weak, discharged, or old, it may not be able to generate enough power to start the engine (Replace the battery and repeat 4-1 Electric starting)
It is also possible to decompress the engine before starting, which would require less power to start the engine and could enable an electric start of the unit with a weak battery.
Decompression process as follows:

1. Unscrew and remove the top cover (See below pic)
2. Push down the decompression lever (C) (It will return automatically after the engine starts)
3. Install and secure the top cover
4. Start the generator as per 4-1 Electric starting

Warning

• Never use any volatile liquid or gas such as gasoline to cold starting the machine, or else, severe damage will occur.
