TRANSPORTING/STORAGE
To avoid personal injury:
A
Secure the generator to prevent movement
during operation.
A DO NOT stand near or under the generator
while it is suspended.
A
The generator is heavy. Utilize suitable
equipment to lift and transport. Keep hands
and feet away from under the suspended
generator.
A
When transporting the generator, remove the
battery cable, close the fuel cock lever, and
keep the generator level to prevent fuel
spillage.
A
Use hangers and wire ropes which are strong
enough to withstand the weight of the machine.
1. When transporting the generator, use only suitable
transporting equipment, such as crane, fork lift or etc.
2. The generator is equipped with the 2 inlets in the
machine bed for forklift forks. Transportability is
increased by 2 ways; special forklift openings and 1-
point lifting inlets. Use lifting equipment of sufficient
capacity.
STORAGE
To avoid personal injury:
A
DO NOT clean the machine with engine
running.
A
To avoid the danger of exhaust fume
poisoning, do not operate the engine in a
closed building without proper ventilation.
A
When storing the generator just after running,
let the engine cool off.
Before storing the generator for more than a few months,
remove any dirt on the machine, and:
1. Remove dirty engine coolant, fill with new coolant and
run the engine for about 5 minutes.
When coolant is added, coolant level drops the first
time the engine is started, stop the engine and add
more coolant.
2. Remove dirty engine oil, fill with new oil and run the
engine for about 5 minutes to let the oil penetrate to all
the parts.
3. Check all the bolts and nuts, and tighten if necessary.
4. Remove the battery from the generator, adjust the
electrolyte level, and recharge it. Store the battery in a
dry and dark place.
5. When the engine is not used for a long period of time,
run it for about 5 minutes under no load every 2 to 3
months to keep it free from rust. If the engine is stored
without any running, moisture in the air may condense
into dew over the sliding parts of the engine, resulting
in rust.
6. If you forget to run the engine for longer than 5 to 6
months, apply enough engine oil to the valve guide
and valve stem seal and make sure the valves work
smoothly before starting the engine.
7. Store the generator in a flat place and remove the key.
8. Do not store the generator in a place where flammable
materials such as dry grass or straw are present.
9. When covering the generator for storage, let engine
and muffler cool off completely.
10.Operate the engine after checking and repairing
damaged wiring or pipes, and clearing flammable
materials carried by rodents, insects or birds.
