(1) Low Oil Pressure 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. If the engine oil pressure drops below 0.98 x 100 kPa during operation, the Low Oil Pressure indicator illuminates on the controller, and "Oil Pressure Low Switch"...
(6) Water in Fuel If the liquid stored in the water separator exceeds approximately 100 ml during operation, "Water in Fuel" appear on the Operation Display. If it illuminates, immediately stop the engine and drain the liquid stored in the water separator. (Refer to section “10. Inspection/Maintenance (4) Draining Liquid in Water Separator”.) (7) Charge Alt Failure "Charge Alt Failure"...
(2) Circuit Breaker This switch is for transmitting electrical power to the load side. Turn to ON position to output voltage to the output terminals. Output to the load side is cut off when there is a short circuit or overload on the load side. (3) 3-Phase Earth Leakage Relay When current leak occurs, it trips to stop power transmission to load.
< Note > When disconnecting piping from the external tank, turn the lever to the “A” side, and attach the connecting hose to the external tank fuel inlet/return. (2) If using an external fuel tank Connect hoses from the external fuel tank to the external fuel inlet and the external fuel return.
6-2.

(2) Operation Check WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK Before turning the circuit breaker to ON position, ensure that the breaker or the switch of loads are positioned to OFF. Operate the circuit breaker, well-communicating with the electrician by the load side. Before operating the generator, check always if the device can work.
8-1. Checking Engine Oil To check the engine oil, keep the equipment in leveled position, remove the oil level gauge 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.
(2) Filling the Radiator Radiator Plate Remove the radiator plate. Remove the radiator cap. Filler Neck Fill with coolant through the filler neck until the 給水口 radiator is full. Re-attach and tighten the radiator cap. Attach the radiator plate. Radiator Cap <...
(4) Replacing the Fan Belt Request the authorized distributor where the generator was purchased to replace the fan belt. < Note > Use of a loose or damaged fan belt could result in overheating or insufficient charging. Do not operate the generator if fan guard has been removed. 8-4.
