6. GROUNDING
•
The generator must be properly connected
to an appropriate ground. It helps prevent
electrical shock if a ground fault condition
exists in the generator or in connected
electrical devices, especially when the unit is
equipped with a wheel kit. Proper grounding
also helps dissipate static electricity, which
often builds up in ungrounded devices.
DANGER
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Failure to properly ground the generator could result
in electric shocks.
A ground terminal on the frame of the generator
has been provided and can be found on the end of
the generator. For remote grounding, connect a (4
mm2) length of heavy gauge copper wire between the
generator ground terminal and the copper rod driven
into the ground.
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame
and external electrically conductive parts of this
generator be properly connected to an approved
earth ground. Local electrical codes may also require
proper grounding of the unit. We strongly
recommend that you consult with a qualified
electrician for grounding requirements in your area.
7. LPG CYLINDER CHECK
LPG is stored in special fuel cylinders. Inspect the
fuel cylinder for sufficient LPG before using LPG.
Inspect if there is a risk of fuel leakage, and if so,
replace with a safe fuel cylinder with sufficient LPG
immediately.
CAUTION
Before using LPG, please check the thread
connection between LPG cylinder and the pressure
relief valve is well.
8. INSPECTION OF CONNECTION WITH LPG
Connect one end of the relief valve to the fuel
cylinder and the other end to the LPG female joint of
the panel. Moisten the connector with soapy water
and start the generator. Inspect all connectors
for leaks. If bubbles appear and become larger, it
indicates that any connector is not installed in place
or is damaged, resulting in leakage. Please close
the fuel cylinder valve and turn off the generator
immediately, reinstall the connector or replace it with
an undamaged one. If the leak is not resolved or the
leak is not on the connector, please stop using the
generator immediately and contact your local dealer.
DANGER
FIRE OR EXPLOSION
LPG is a flammable and explosive substance.
It is forbidden to lay the LPG cylinder by lying it
down, and the fuel cylinder shall be kept in an upright
position when being used. If the fuel cylinder leaks,
the generator shall be immediately shut down, and
the leaking fuel cylinder shall be replaced with
another one, to ensure there is no risk of leakage
after the replacement. Then the generator can be
restarted. It is forbidden to put the fuel cylinder
close to the fire or heat. Minors are prohibited from
cylinder and using the equipment. Please use the LPG
cylinder that meets the national standard. Please
provide the fire extinguisher nearby for use in case
of fire.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
1.
Pull the starter handle 6-8 times to prefill fuel
system before initial operation or removal from
long term storage. Failure to do so could result
in bad starting experience.
2.
The following are suitable for Recoil Start &
Electric Start
COLD START
Turn the combination switch to “START” position.
WARM START
Turn the combination switch to “RUN” position, if
not started, please turn the combination switch to
“START” position before restarting.
Suitable to start by Push Button
Turn the combination switch to “RUN” position
the circuit breaker. It may be difficult to start the
generator after the electrical device is connected.
The electrical device to be connected must not
exceed the maximum power range of the generator.
Refer to the specification sheet for details.
