Chapter 1 BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Be Careful When Handling
Fuel, Engine Oil or LLC
Use Only Specified Fuel,
Engine Oil and LLC
Use fuel, oil and LLC specified in this manual, and
handle them carefully.
Use of any other fuel gas, oil or LLC than the specified
ones, or improper handling may cause various engine
problems and malfunctions.
Obtain the MSDS issued by the oil and LLC suppliers,
and follow the directions in the MSDSs for proper han-
dling.
Handle LLC Carefully
When handling LLC, always wear rubber gloves and a
protective face mask. If LLC or cooling water contain-
ing LLC comes into contact with your skin or eyes, or if
it is swallowed, you would suffer from inflammation,
irritation or poisoning.
Should LLC be accidentally swallowed, induce vomit-
ing immediately and seek medical attention. Should
LLC enter your eyes, flush them immediately with
plenty of water and seek medical attention. If LLC
splashes onto your skin or clothing, wash it away
immediately with plenty of water.
Keep flames away from LLC. LLC is highly flammable
and can easily catch a fire if exposed to a flame.
Proper Disposal of Waste Oil,
LLC and Coolant
Do not discharge waste engine oil, LLC and coolant
into sewerage, river, lake or other similar places. Such
a way of disposal is strictly prohibited by laws and reg-
ulations.
Dispose of waste oil, LLC and coolant and other envi-
ronmentally hazardous waste in accordance with the
applicable law and regulations.
When Abnormality Occurs
Do Not Add Coolant Immedi-
ately After a Sudden Stop Due
to Overheating
If the engine stops suddenly or if you have no choice
but stop the engine suddenly due to overheating, do
not add coolant immediately.
Adding water while the engine is hot can damage
parts such as cylinder heads due to a sudden drop of
temperature. Add coolant gradually after the engine
has completely cooled.
Stop Operation Immediately If
You Notice Any Unusual Symp-
toms
Stop the operation immediately if you notice any
unusual noise, odor or vibration during operation. In
case of emergency, press the emergency stop button
to stop the engine. Contact your local dealer if the
cause of problem cannot be located after stopping the
generator. Continuous operation neglecting an
unusual symptom could cause serious or fatal acci-
dent.
Avoid Immediate Restart After
Abnormal Stop
If the engine stops abnormally, do not restart the
engine immediately. If the engine stops with an alarm,
check and remedy the cause of the problem before
restarting. Sustained use of the engine without any
remedy could result in serious engine problems.
Avoid Continuous Engine Oper-
ation at Low Oil Pressure
If an abnormal engine oil pressure drop is indicated,
stop the engine immediately, and inspect the lubrica-
tion system to locate the cause. Continuous engine
operation with low oil pressure could cause bearings
and other parts to seize.
If Belt Breaks, Stop Engine
Immediately
If the belt breaks, stop the engine immediately and
replace the belt. Sustained use of the engine without
any remedy could cause defective charge and cooling
failure, and result in serious engine problems.
