WARNING
Do not remove the cap from a HOT engine radiator.
The sudden release of pressure from a heated
cooling system can cause severe injury or death.
CAUTION
Loading of Generator - If run for extended periods
under an extremely light load, the engine efficiency
will decrease and eventually become damaged. The
impact of running a generator on a light load is
extremely detrimental to the engine and will result in:
• Fuel dilution of the lubricating oil.
• Carbon build up in the cylinder and turbocharger.
• Cylinder head valve sticking.
• Reduced performance.
In order to pr
event damage, the machine should not
be loaded below 40% of the generator's nominal
rating for ectended periods of time.
STARTING
CAUTION
Use the EMERGENCY STOP button ONLY in the
event of an emergency.
NEVER use it for normal shut-down.
Verify the following:
1. All external electrical power loads are turned “OFF”.
2.
Main Breaker is “OFF”.
3. Battery Disconnected Switch is “ON”.
4. Reset (pull to unlatch) Emergency Stop Button.
5. Push the controller “START” Button.
6. Wait for preheating if enabled.
CAUTION
Do NOT use engine starting fluids.
DANGER
POWER is present upon cranking the engine.
CAUTION
Allow starter to cool for one minute between start
attempts.
7. Allow the engine to warm-up for 3 to 5 minutes.
8. Check the CONTROL Panel for proper voltages.
9. With main breaker “ON” power is present and
available for use.
10. Close side doors for optimum cooling of the unit while
running.
STOPPING
1. Turn off all external electrical power loads.
2. Turn Main Breaker “OFF”.
3. Allow 5 minute cool down.
4. Push controller “STOP” Button.
5. Wait at least 15 seconds before rest
arting.
6. Fill fuel tank at end of working day to prevent
condensate.
If engine shuts down, the generator controller will
