OPERATING THE GENERATOR
Warm-up in cold ambient temperatures
In cold weather, the engine oil may be cold with
increased viscosity. This can delay oil circulation or
abnormally low oil pressure for some time after engine
start-up. This can result trouble in the lubrication
circuit or damage to the engine moving parts.
To prevent the above problems, perform the following
instructions:
Warm up the engine at rated revolution with no load.
Ambient temperature
Warm-up time requirement
Above 0°C (32°F)
At least 10 minutes
0°C (32°F) to -10°C (14°F)
10 to 20 minutes
Below -10°C (14°F)
More than 20 minutes
10. Turn ON the circuit breaker on the control
panel.
(1) Circuit breaker
(A) “ON”
NOTICE
8
When there is a severe overload
or short circuit in the wiring
of the generator, the circuit
breaker turns OFF. If this
happens, eliminate the cause
and then turn the circuit breaker
ON again.
11. Turn ON the electrical device switches
for the connections.
Cold Weather Starting
If the ambient temperature is below * -5°C (23°F) and
the engine is very cold, start it in the following manner:
Take steps (1) through (5) in “Starting the Engine”
section.
6. Turn the starter switch (key) to the
“PREHEAT” position until the glow plug
indicator goes off.
TIP
8
If the ambient temperature is low, the preheating
time will take longer.
NOTICE
8
Shown below are the standard
preheating times for various
temperatures. This operation,
however, is not required, when
the engine is warmed up.
Ambient temperature
Preheating time
Above 10°C (50°F)
NO NEED
10°C (50°F) to
-5°C (23°F)
Until glow lamp goes off
*Below -5°C (23°F)
Approx. 5 seconds after the
glow lamp goes off
Limit of continuous use
20 seconds
7. Turn the starter switch (key) to “START”
position and the engine should start.
(If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds, turn
off the starter switch (key) for 30 seconds. Then
repeat steps (6) and (7) above.)
NOTICE
8
Do not allow the starter motor
to run continuously for more
than 10 seconds.
8
Be sure to warm up the
engine, not only in winter,
but also in warmer seasons.
An insufficiently warmed-up
engine can shorten its service
life.
8
When there is possibility of
temperature drops below -15°C
(5°F) detach the battery from
the machine, and keep it indoor
in a safe area. Reinstalled
the battery before the next
operation.
