Warning Indicators - Shindaiwa DGK45F Owner's And Operator's Manual

CAUTION : BURNS
 Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after
stopping the engine as they are still extremely hot.
The bed of this generator is equipped with a spill containment (structure for preventing
leakage of liquid) so that any spilled liquid will not leak to outside of the generator when oil or
fuel is spilled or leak. Before starting operation, check if there is accumulated liquid in the spill
containment. Flush out any liquid that has accumulated.
(Refer to section "8-5. Checking the Spill Containment" for inspection procedures. )
(Refer to section "10. Inspection/Maintenance (10) Flushing Liquid in Spill Containment" for
flushing procedures.)
The generator is equipped with the following in order to prevent liquid from spilling in case you
forget to flush the liquid: The operation panel is equipped with an indicator that illuminates
when its sensor is triggered as the spill containment capacity accumulated enough liquid to
reach the about 12gal ( 45.4 liters ).
If the liquid stored in the spill containment exceeds approximately about 25gal ( 94.6 liters )
during operation, the SPILL CONTAINMENT overflow warning indicator illuminates, and the
engine will be automatically stopped. If this occurs, flush the liquid stored in the spill
containment.
(Refer to section "10. Inspection/Maintenance (10) Flushing Liquid in Spill Containment".)
< Note >
 Water can also accumulate in the spill containment due to rain entering into the generator.
Accordingly, you should periodically flush liquid accumulated within the generator. However, you
should flush water according to the frequency/amount of rainfall.
 The types of liquids that can accumulate in the spill containment include oil, fuel, coolant and
battery fluid such that it is not possible to distinguish between rainwater and other liquids. Dispose
of flushed liquids according to the applicable laws and regulations.
