4.5 Earth connection
All Stephill products are fitted with an earth stud on the control panel this must be
connected to an earthing system or spike. Any earth spike required is dependant on the
local conditions of use. The size is determined by reference to current IEE regulations or
to a competent electrician.
4.6 Fumes
Make sure that the Generator is at least 2 metres away from any building during
operation. Operate in a well ventilated unconfined area, so that fumes can be properly
dispersed.
Silencer outlet should be facing an open area to prevent fumes being recirculated. There
is the danger of asphyxiation due to exhaust gases. Inhalation of poisonous exhaust
fumes can lead to serious injury or death. The generator must not be used in a poorly
ventilated or enclosed area.
4.7 Noise
Ear protection may be required depending on the combined noise level of the Generator,
auxiliary load and the operator’s distance from it and the length of exposure. (Noise at
Work Regulations 1989)
4.8 Battery Acid
This is corrosive and irritant by all forms of exposure. Direct contact should always be
avoided by wearing suitable rubber gloves, some form of eye protection should also be
used. If skin contact is made wash with clean water.
4.9 Fire
Ensure that suitable fire extinguishers (AFFF or CO
2
)
are kept within proximity to the
generator. Do not cover, enclose, or obstruct the airflow to the generator during or shortly
after use, due to fire hazard or damage to the generator from overheating. Allow the
generator to cool after use before storing away. Keep all inflammable objects clear of the
Generator.
4.10 Hot parts
There is the danger of burns as parts of the generator will become very hot during use.
No part of the engine, alternator or exhaust must be touched during or shortly after
operation. Do not operate the generator unless all guards are in place. There is a risk of
burns or serious personal injury.
5 Operating instructions
5.1 Pre-start checks
Before starting the generator please read the Yanmar engine owners manual.
Check Fuel & Oil level before attempting to start.
The generator is equipped with a low fuel level switch which will shutdown the engine and
prevent it from starting, if the fuel level is low.
The engine is equipped with an oil and temperature switch and will shutdown for low oil
pressure and high engine temperature.
5.2 Warning
Do not operate the changeover switch with load connected.
Always switch load off before disconnecting plugs.
To switch power off at the Generator always use the circuit breaker.
5.3 Fuel system bleeding procedure SE6000D4
Before attempting to bleed the fuel system on the SE6000D4, ensure the key switch is in
the off position, the tank has a minimum of 10 litres of fuel and the lid is open.
1. Loosen the Brass injector pipe fitting (17mm nut) on the fuel pump, move to one side,
leaving the delivery valve holder (black male fitting) on the fuel pump exposed.
2. Loosen the Delivery valve holder (17mm nut) but only by 2 complete turns.
3. Turn the starter key to the on position, (do not start the generator). The battery and
low oil pressure warning lamps should be illuminated.
4. Then slowly turn the starter key to the spring position until the battery warning lamp
goes out. You should also hear the fuel solenoid click to indicate it is open. Hold the
