Introduction Thank you for purchasing this Shindaiwa soundproof diesel engine generator. This manual has been created to ensure safe usage of this generator. Be sure to read this manual before operation. Improper operation/handling of this generator will result in an accident or malfunction.
1. Safety Instructions WARNING : EXHAUST GAS POISONING Do not operate the generator in poorly ventilated areas such as indoors or tunnels, as the exhaust gas of the engine contains substances that are harmful to human health. Do not direct exhaust fumes at pedestrians or buildings. WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK ...
Page 6
CAUTION : EXPLOSION Never use or recharge the battery if the fluid level is below the minimum level. Do not create sparks or bring flame near the battery as it generates flammable gas. CAUTION : FIRE Do not carry flammable items (such as fuel, gas and paint) or items that are highly combustible near the generator as the muffler, exhaust gas and other parts become extremely hot.

CAUTION : PROPERTY DAMAGE Do not use the equipment for any improper applications. Improper usage can result in an accident or malfunction. If using this generator for medical equipment, check before use with the medical equipment manufacturer, doctor, hospital or similar entity. ...
2-2. Ambient Conditions Use this generator in ambient conditions as described below. Failure to provide these conditions can result in problems such as malfunction, insufficient output and reduced durability. ■ Ambient temperature:-15 to 40 degree Celsius ■ Relative humidity: 85% or less ■...
4-2. Operation Panel Part Names ★ Located inside of the operation panel. ① ⑪ Circuit Breaker Over Load Pre-caution Lamp ② ⑫ Voltmeter Preheat Lamp ③ ⑬ Ammeter Voltage Regulator ④ ⑭ Frequency Meter Ammeter Selector Switch ⑤ ⑮ Water Temperature Gauge Starter Switch ⑥...
5. Equipment 5-1. Warning Indicators WARNING : INJURY Do not open the check door during operation. Keep away from moving parts such as cooling fan and fan belt. Always be sure to stop the engine and remove the starter key when performing inspection or maintenance.
(2) OIL PRESS (engine oil pressure) Warning Indicator (Low Oil Press.) 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 gauge or oil filler cap during operation will result in hot oil gushing out.

(3) Fuel Gauge It shows the volume in the fuel tank. When filled up, it shows 『F』. When the needle indicator is approaching to『E』, the fuel tank is empty. Replenish fuel enough promptly. Generator Meters and Gauges (1) Voltmeter The voltmeter displays the 3-phase output voltage (voltage between R-T) from the generator.Check that 400V is displayed at 50Hz and 440V at 60Hz during operation.Check that 200V is displayed at 50Hz and 220V at 60Hz during operation if using at the 3-phase 200V setting.

< Note > Connect a lamp that is DC24V/2A/48W or less to the Auxiliary Lamp Terminal. The pre-caution lamp flashes when more than 80% of the rated output lasts for 20 seconds. (4) 400/440V output Lamp This lamp illuminates if 400/440V are supplied from the output terminal and turns off if 200/220V are supplied.

(3) Circuit Breaker By turning this circuit breaker on the control panel to “ON”, Power will be transferred to the output receptacles and to the load side. The breaker trips to “OFF”, either overload or short-circuit. (4) Earth Leakage Relay When current leak occurs, it trips to stop power transmission to load.
5-3. Fuel Piping Switch (3 Way Valve) CAUTION : FIRE Always make sure that the engine is stopped when working on piping. Always be sure to wipe up any spilled fuel. After working on the piping, check that there is no fuel leakage. Change the 3 way valve to switch to supply fuel from the external tank.
(2) Transport When transporting this generator, tie rope to the left and right tie downs, and securely fix the generator. Lifting Hook Tie-Down < Note > Handle this generator with great care when raising, lowering and transporting. Rough handling of generator can result in damage or malfunction. 6-2.
7. Load Connections 7-1. Load Cable Selection CAUTION : PROPERTY DAMAGE Cable burnout can occur due to generated heat if the load current exceeds the allowable current of the cable. The voltage drop between cables is large if the cable is excessively long or thin, resulting in decreased input voltage to equipment using the generator, thereby causing decreased performance, faulty operation and malfunction.
Page 21
< Note > When connecting a load, check that the generator output setting, output terminal connection position, and load power source are all matching. If using the O terminal, be careful that the currents of each phase are uniform. ...
7-3. Earth Leakage Relay and Grounding WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK Ground the every grounding terminal to the earth as set in the manual. If even one of all is unconnected by mistake or accident, it will be much more dangerous for human than the NO-RELAY case, because leaking current inevitably goes through the body.
Turn the circuit breaker to “ON”. Push the TEST button on Earth Leakage Relay. TEST button When the button is pushed, the earth leakage indicator turns “ON” and circuit breakers are positioned in the middle between “ON” and “OFF” positions simultaneously, the device works normally.
8-1. Checking Engine Oil To check the engine oil, keep the equipment in leveled position, remove the oil level indicator and wipe so that no oil remains, and then re-insert the dipstick fully. Prior to starting the engine, make sure to fill the engine oil through the oil filler until it reaches the MAX line.
Page 25
(1) Filling the Coolant Sub-Tank Coolant Remove the coolant sub-tank cap. Sub-Tank Fill the sub-tank with coolant until it reaches the FULL FULL line. Re-install the cap. (2) Filling the Radiator Remove the radiator plate and radiator cap. Fill with new coolant through the filler neck until the radiator is full.
8-3. Checking the Fan Belt (1) Fan Belt Tension Press the fan belt by your finger with approx. 98N. When the belt slick is between 10-15mm, the tension is normal. (2) Fan Belt Condition Visually inspect the belts for signs of wear, missing grooves, slick or any damage.
8-5. Checking for Fuel, Oil and Coolant Leaks CAUTION : FIRE If fuel or oil is leaking, repair the leaking location before operating. Open the check door and check for fuel, oil and coolant leakage from fuel piping connections and similar locations. 8-6.
Remove the hold-down clamp from the battery on the right side. Remove the clamp and cable from positive (+) post from the battery on the right side. Remove the right side battery from the seat. ※Reinstall the new battery in the reverse order. (always install the cable to the positive (+) post of the new battery first.) 8.6.2 Replacing the battery installed on the left side toward the control panel Remove the clamp and cable from negative (-)

< Note > Check that the surrounding area is safe before starting the engine. When there are multiple workers who are working together, they must mutually signal each other before starting the engine. Do not use in an area with high temperature or humidity, or an area with a large amount of dust.
9-2. Procedures during Operation (1) Checks after Startup Make sure that all meters and indicators are in normal status. ( Ref. “5. Equipment”) Check that there is no abnormal vibration or noise. Check that the exhaust gas color is normal. When operation is normal, the exhaust gas should be colorless or slightly bluish.
9-3. Stopping Operation CAUTION : BURNS Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after stopping the engine as they are still hot. Turn the switches and breakers on the load side to “OFF”. Turn the circuit breaker on the operation panel to “OFF”. Set the throttle lever to “IDLING”.
9-5. Connecting with External Fuel Tank CAUTION : FIRE Always make sure that the engine is stopped when working on piping. Always be sure to wipe up any spilled fuel. After working on the piping, check that there is no fuel leakage. Turn the 3 way valve toward position “A”.
10. Inspection/Maintenance WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK/INJURY Do not touch output terminals or internal electric parts while the generator is operating. Do not open the check door during operation. Keep away from moving parts such as cooling fan and fan belt. ...
