Accumulation of carbon (soot, unburned fuel) in the exhaust pipe line and muffler could
cause only a system derates or an engine fault occurs. To destroy the soot and unburned
fuel, run the unit at rated power for some period of time until the exhaust gas become
mostly colorless every 200 hours operation time. The carbon will be easier to be generated
when the unit operates at less then 30% of rated power. In this case, perform the above
procedures at shorter interval time.
< Note >
When the unit operates at rated power, accumulation of carbon in the exhaust pipe line and
muffler might be lead to back fire incident. Do not bring flammable items that are highly
combustible near the generator.
