PERIODIC OPERATION AND INSPECTION
When generator is used as an emergency electrical power source, periodic operation and inspection
is required to ensure machine will operate when needed.
Fuel (gasoline/diesel) and engine oil will deteriorate overtime, and this may cause the engine to be
difficult to start and will result in improper engine operation and fault.
Since the fuel (gasoline/diesel) will have deteriorated overtime, replace with fresh fuel
periodically, every (3) months is recommended.
a)
Check the fuel (gasoline/diesel), engine oil and air cleaner.
b)
Start engine.
c)
With appliances such as lights activated, run the engine for over ten minutes.
d)
Check for the following:
Proper engine running.
Adequate output and the indicator lamp turned on properly.
The engine switch normally operated.
No leakage of engine oil and fuel (gasoline/diesel).

TRANSPORTING
When transporting the generator, make sure that the fuel (gasoline/diesel) is drained from the tank.
To prevent fuel spillage due to the vibration and impact, never transport the generator with
the fuel (gasoline/diesel) filled in the tank.
Secure the tank cap thoroughly.
To avoid the risk of the gasoline flammability, never leave the generator in an area exposed
to direct sunlight or high temperatures for a long time.
Keep the fuel (gasoline/diesel) in the exclusive gasoline/diesel storage tank made by steel
when transporting.
a)
Turn the engine switch to the “STOP” position.
b)
Drain the fuel from the tank.
c)
Secure the tank cap.
Do not place any heavy objects on the generator.
Select and place the generator in the proper position of the transport vehicle so that the
generator does not move or fall down. Fix the generator with rope were necessary.
