
Water can also accumulate in the spill containment due to rain entering into the generator.
Accordingly, you should periodically flush liquid accumulated within the generator. However, you
should flush water according to the frequency/amount of rainfall.

The types of liquids that can accumulate in the spill containment include oil, fuel, coolant and
battery fluid such that it is not possible to distinguish between rainwater and other liquids. Dispose
of flushed liquids according to the applicable laws and regulations.
5-3. Warning Indicators
This generator is equipped with the following warning indicators: BATTERY (insufficient
charging), OIL PRESS (engine oil pressure), WATER TEMP (coolant temperature), OVER
SPEED (engine overspeed), AIR FILTER (air cleaner clogging), SPILL CONTAINMENT (spill
containment amount). Selecting the starter switch from STOP to START position causes the
BATTERY and OIL PRESS warning indicator to illuminate, and all indicator lights will go off as
engine starts. An indicator illuminates if malfunction/fault occurs during operation and the
engine automatically stops depending on the fault type (except for SPILL CONTAINMENT).
If the generator automatically stops, set the starter switch to STOP and restart the engine.
Check each illuminated warning indicator at the time of automatic stop, and inspect the failed
component.
(1) BATTERY (Insufficient Charging) Warning Indicator (Low Battery Voltage)
The BATTERY warning indicator illuminates and the engine automatically stops when
charging is not possible during operation. If this occurs, contact authorized distributor where
the generator was purchased.
< Note >

This battery charging warning indicator cannot detect battery deterioration or insufficient battery
fluid. (Refer to section “
8-6. Checking the Battery
”.)
WARNING : INJURY

Do not open the check door when the starter switch is in the AUTO or START
position. It will cause injury by rotating parts such as cooling fans and fan belt.

Always turn the starter switch to the STOP position and stop the engine,
then close and lock OPERATION PANEL DOOR before checking or
maintaining the engine or any equipment.
CAUTION : BURNS

Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after
stopping the engine as they are still extremely hot.
