Caution: Burns Do not touch the engine or exhaust during operation or immediately after stopping the equipment, as the temperature will be extremely high. When the water temperature rises abnormally, the coolant/water temperature monitor lamp will flash, and the automatic engine shut-off will be engaged. When this symptom occurs, check the coolant sub tank, and replenish if needed.
5-4. Remote Control The equipment incorporates a Remote Control receptacle. Remote control box is an optional part. Remote Control operation is available by connecting the compatible Remote Controller to the receptacle. REMOTE CONTROL RECEPTACLE REMOTE CONTROL BOX 5-5. Earth Leakage Relay and Grounding Danger: Electric Shock Ground the grounding terminal to the earth as set out in the manual.
(2) Operation Check Before operating the equipment, always check if the safety shut-down device works as shown in the following procedure. 3-PHASE ELCB TEST BUTTON 1-PHASE ELCB LEAKAGE INDICATION WHITE LEVER BUTTON BLACK LEVER TEST BUTTON ① Ensure that the circuit breakers and load switches are positioned to [OFF].
<Caution> When the load of less than 0.5A is connected, the Auto Idle feature may not function. In this case, turn the switch to [HIGH]. When welding operation or electric supply performs alternately or intermittently, turn the switch to [HIGH]. 5-7.
Danger: Injuries Do not open the radiator cap while operating this equipment or immediately after stopping the equipment, to prevent burns from hot steam or water. Caution: Burns Do not touch the engine and muffler during operation and immediately after stopping the equipment, for the temperature could reach extremely high temperature.
<Caution> Use Diesel fuel, ASTM D975 No.2-D in the event ambient temperature reaches down to -5 ℃ . The engine is designed to use either No.1-D or No.2-D Diesel fuel. However, for better economy, use No. 2-D Diesel Fuel whenever possible. At temperatures less than -7 ℃...
① Check the fluid level. If the level is near or lower than LOWER level, add distilled water until the fluid level reaches UPPER level. ② Make sure that the battery cables are firmly secured to the posts. Tighten the clamps if necessary. <Caution>...
7-1. Starting ① Turn the breakers (1-P, 3-P) to [OFF] ② Turn the Fuel lever to [OPEN]. ③ Turn the Idle Control Switch to [ECO] or [AUTO]. ④ Ensure the Emergency Stop Switch is in released position. ⑤ When the temperature is below -5 ℃ , t urn and keep the Starter switch to PREHEAT until the preheat lamp turns off (about 5 seconds).
<Caution> Do not attempt to turn to [STOP] position while actual welding or utilizing AC power source, it may cause the serious damage on the unit. 7-3. Emergency Stop An Emergency Stop feature is incorporated in the equipment. Push the Emergency Stop Switch in case of an emergency or if an equipment fault develops during operation.
8-2. Polarity There are two welding output terminals, 『 + + + + 』 a nd 『 - - - - 』 . Select the polarity according to the operation, referring to the table below. <Caution> Follow the instruction of the welding rods, the polarity of which is specified. Application Connection Generals Welding, such as...

8-5. Welding Caution: Suffocation from welding fumes Be sure to wear a fume proof mask during operation, because welding fumes contains poisonous gas and dust. Pay attention to the airflow direction and sufficient ventilation also in order to prevent from inhaling the fume. Caution: Injuries to eyes and skin Be sure to wear spark protection glasses (Refer to the table below), long-sleeve shirts, gloves, etc.
9. Generator Operation 9-1. Output Range (1) 3-Phase 415V Output Receptacle Maximum output from the 3-Phase receptacle is 7KVA. (2) 1-Phase110V Output Receptacles 1-Phase 110V CTE Output is available through 2 receptacles. Maximum 3.3kVA is available 1-PHASE RECEPTACLE through 1-Phase receptacle of SIDE A side A.
9-3. Operation Danger: Electric Shock Do not operate the equipment, if the equipment or you are wet. Before connecting or disconnecting a load cable from the receptacles, always turn the circuit breakers (1-P, 3-P) to [OFF] position. Always stop engine, and remove the engine key. The person performing the maintenance must always keep the key.
Page 24
<Caution> The AC Volt meter reads 3-P output voltage, apart from the circuit breakers (1-P, 3-P) positions to [ON] or [OFF], when the engine is driving. After the engine starts (Refer to 『 7 -1. Starting 』 ) , operate the equipment as per the following procedures.
10. Simultaneous Use of Welding and Generating The circuit breakers (1-P, 3-P) react on the AC power supply circuit only. In the simultaneous use of welding and generating, overload to the engine may occur. Refer to the following table and limit the AC power use. Limitation of AC Power Supply in the simultaneous use of welding and generating Welding AC Power Output...
