BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT: INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION IN THIS
MANUAL ASSUME THE GENERATOR HAS BEEN PROP¬
ERLY INSTALLED, CONNECTED, SERVICED, TESTED AND
ADJUSTED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLATION TECHNICIAN
OF INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR.
■ INSTALLATION_
Generator installation must have been properly completed so
it complies with all applicable codes, standards and regula¬
tions and with the manufacturer's recommendations.
■ ENGINE LUBRICATION_
Have engine crankcase properly serviced with recommended
oil before starting. Refer to "Maintenance" and "Specifica¬
tions* sections for oil servicing procedures and
recommendations.
CAUTION: Any attempt to crank or start the
engine before you have properly serviced it with
the recommended oil may result in engine failure.
■ FUEL SUPPLY_
"
The engine must have adequate supply of proper fuel to oper¬
ate. Before starting, check that sufficient fuel is available.
■ COOLING AND VENTILATING AIR
Air inlet and outlet openings in the generator compartment must
be open and unobstructed for continued proper operation. With¬
out sufficient cooling and ventilating air flow, the
engine-generator quickly overheats, which causes it to quickly
shutdown. Overheating could also damage the unit or your
vehicle.
■ ENGINE EXHAUST GAS_
Before starting the generator engine, you should be sure
there is no way for exhaust gases to enter the vehicle interior
and endangering people or animals. Close windows, doors and
other openings in the vehicle that, if open, might permit exhaust
gases to enter the vehicle.
DANGER: THE GENERATOR ENGINE GIVES OFF
DEADLY CARBON MONOXIDE GAS THROUGH ITS
EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS DANGEROUS GAS, IF
BREATHED IN SUFFICIENT CONCENTRATIONS,
CAN CAUSE UNCONSCIOUSNESS OR EVEN
DEATH. DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF
ITS EXHAUST SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN
DAMAGED. SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING ARE (A) INABILITY TO THINK COHER¬
ENTLY, (B) VOMITING, (C) TWITCHING MUSCLES,
(D) THROBBING TEMPLES, (E) DIZZINESS, (F)
HEADACHE, (G) WEAKNESS AND SLEEPINESS. IF
YOU FEEL ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE
INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS
PERSIST, GET MEDICAL HELP.
