(9) Elimination of excessive carbon in the exhaust system by extensive light load
WARNING : EXHAUST GAS POISONING
Do not operate the generator in poorly ventilated areas such as an indoors or
tunnels, as the exhaust gas of the engine contains substances that are
harmful to human health.
Do not direct exhaust fumes at bystanders or buildings.
WARNING : INJURY
Always be sure to check that the breakers on load side and switches for any
equipment using the generator are at OFF before turning the breaker to ON.
Also be sure to advise personnel on the load side that power will be turned on
or off before operating the breaker.
Close all doors and lock them during operation.
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 .
Position this generator 1 m or more from walls or other hindrances, and on a
level surface .
CAUTION : INJURY
Do not operate the generator if it has been modified or any parts have been
removed.
Position the generator on a level stable surface so that it cannot slide or move
in any manner.
Before starting operation, always be sure to turn off all switches of equipment
being used and all breakers to OFF.
Clean
Every 200 hours
Accumulation of carbon (soot, unburned fuel) in the exhaust system could cause engine
output loss and/or engine fault. To eliminate soot and unburned fuel, run the unit at
more than 70% of the rated output for about half an hour, until the exhaust gas become
mostly colorless. The carbon will accumulate when the unit runs at less than 30% of
rated output.
< 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.
