Pre-Operation Inspection; Checking Engine Oil - Shindaiwa DGK45F Owner's And Operator's Manual

< Note >
 If using a single-phase 120 V (between output terminals U-N and W-N), connect an equivalent
load between U-N and W-N
 If using a single-phase three-wire output terminal simultaneously with a receptacle output, make
sure that currents passing through each phase is less than the rated current of this generator.
 If using at the three-phase 480 V setting, the output voltage of the single-phase three-wire type is
single-phase 240/120 V, which is the same as the three-phase 240 V setting. Accordingly, care
must be taken to not draw an excessive load as the available power is only one half.

8. Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING : INJURY
 Always be sure to stop the engine and remove the starter key when
performing inspection or maintenance.
 Do not open the check door during operation. Be careful of pinching or
catching of moving parts such as the cooling fan and fan belt.
CAUTION : BURNS
 Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after
stopping the engine as they are still extremely hot.
CAUTION : FIRE
 Always be sure to wipe up any spilled fuel or oil.

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.
< Note >
 Wait approximately five
minutes or more after
stopping the engine or adding
oil before checking the oil level
again.
 An accurate oil level reading
cannot be obtained if the
generator is not placed in
leveled position.
 Do not overfill with oil to avoid
engine damage.
