WARNING: EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY! Exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide, an odorless and colorless gas. Carbon monoxide is poisonous and can
cause unconsciousness and death. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:
Dizziness
Throbbing in Temples
Nausea
Muscular Twitching
Headache
Vomiting
Weakness and Sleepiness
Inability to Think Coherently
IF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, GET
OUT INTO THE FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. If symptoms persist, seek medical
attention. Shut down the genset and do not operate it until it has been inspected and
repaired.
Never sleep in the vehicle with the genset running unless the vehicle is equipped with a
working carbon monoxide detector. Primary protection against inhaling carbon
monoxide, however, is the proper installation of the exhaust system and the daily
(every eight hour) inspection for visible and audible exhaust system leaks.
PRE-START CHECKS
Before the first start of the day and after every eight hours of operation, perform the maintenance
instructed in OIL LEVEL CHECK AND GENERAL INSPECTION under Periodic Maintenance
in the manufacturer’s owner’s manual. Keep a log of maintenance and the hours run and perform
any maintenance that may be due. Also, see the manufacturer’s owner’s manual for Genset
Break-in, Exercise and Storage to return the genset to service if the vehicle has been in storage.
STARTING
The genset can be started and stopped from the genset control panel or from the remote control
panel inside the vehicle (if so equipped).
1. Perform the PRE-START CHECKS and turn off the air conditioner and other large electrical
loads. Open the manual shutoff valve at the LP Gas container if this is an LP Gas genset.
2. Push and hold the genset or remote START switch until the genset starts. (The remote
START switch inside the vehicle should have a lamp which lights to indicate that the genset
has started and is running).
#
CAUTION: Cranking the starter for longer than 10 seconds at a time can overheat and
damage the starter. Do not crank for more than 10 seconds at a time and wait at least 30
seconds before trying again.
Secure the access cover as soon as the engine starts up when starting the genset at the genset control
panel.
