8. Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK

INJURY



Before performing any equipment check or maintenance, stop the engine,

and remove the engine key. A person performing the maintenance should
always keep the key.



Close all doors and place locks during operating this equipment, to avoid

injuries by unintentionally touching cooling fan and fan belt.

CAUTION : BURNS



Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after

stopping the equipment, while temperature can reach extremely high.

CAUTION : FIRE



Always be sure to wipe up any spilled fuel or oil.

8-1. Checking Engine Oil

●

Be sure to also read the separate Engine Instruction Manual.

CAUTION : BURNS



Always be sure to stop the engine and allow the engine to cool when

performing inspection or maintenance of engine oil. Opening the oil level
indicator or oil filler cap during operation will result in hot oil cause personal
injury.

To check the engine oil, keep the equipment leveled, remove oil level indicator to be

wiped, and then re-insert the dipstick fully. Prior to start the engine, make sure to fill the

engine oil through the oil filler until it reaches below from MAX line.

< NOTE >



Check engine oil volume IN 10-20

MINUTES LATER, always after
stopping engine or replenishing fuel.



An accurate oil level reading cannot

be obtained if the generator is not
leveled.



Do not overfill the engine oil.

Excessive amount of engine oil will
damage the engine.
