(2) Battery Charge Monitor Lamp The battery charge monitor lamp ("CHARGE") lights up and the engine is automatically stopped if battery charge fails during operation. If this occurs, it is probable that there is fan belt damage or a wiring fault. Request repair at the retail outlet where the equipment was purchased.
This equipment can operate at either 50Hz or 60 Hz. Frequency Set the frequency selector located Selector inside the side door to change the frequency in accordance with the devices using the equipment. 5-9. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and Grounding Warning: Electric Shock •...
<Note> • Connect using a plug with a grounding pole. • If using a plug without a grounding pole, perform grounding work and check that used devices are connected to ground. • Securely ground the bonnet grounding terminal to the metal frame of the vehicle if transporting the equipment by truck or trailer.
Caution: Burn • The engine, muffler and similar parts are extremely hot during operation and immediately after stopping the equipment. Never touch hot parts. 6-1. Engine Oil Inspection Caution: Burn • Always be sure to stop the engine and allow it to cool before inspecting or changing the engine oil.
• Use a cold-weather fuel that conforms to Strainer Fuel Inlet ASTM standards if using the equipment in a cold weather region. • Shindaiwa recommends using a fuel with a sulfur content of less than 1,000 ppm. - 17 -...
• Change the engine oil and oil filter after a shorter period than normal (approximately one-half the normal period) if using a high-sulfur (sulfur content of between 5,000 to 10,000 ppm) fuel. • Do not use a fuel with a sulfur content of 10,000 ppm or more. Ultra-low sulfur fuel must be used if using the equipment in a region subject to EPA exhaust gas regulations.
■Battery Replacement Procedures " - " Post " + " Post Ins.Cap Remove the " " (negative) cable. (Always be sure to first remove the " " (negative) side.) Remove the battery hold-down clamp. Hold-Down Remove the "+" (positive) cable. Clamp Remove the battery.
7-1. . . . Starting the Engine Turn all breakers (main and 1-P) to "OFF". Turn the fuel lever (on the fuel filter and water separator) to "OPEN". Set the idle control switch to "AUTO". Check that the emergency stop switch has been released. If the temperature is 5°C or less, turn the starter switch to the "PREHEAT"...
<Note> • Do not switch the engine to high speed or apply any loads to it until all the air has been bled from the fuel pipes (until speed is stable). Doing so can cause a malfunction. 7-2. Stopping the Engine Turn all breakers (main and 1-P) to "OFF".
