  • Page 7: Safety Precautions

    1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the potential danger of explosion or fire. Do not fill the fuel tank with fuel while the engine is running. Do not smoke or use open flame near the fuel tank. Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling.
  • Page 8 Operate the generator on a level surface. it is not necessary to prepare a special foundation for the generator. However, the generator will vibrate on an irregular surface, so choose a level place without surface irregularities. If the generator is tilted or moved during operation, fuel may spill and/or the generator may tip over, causing a hazardous situation.
  • Page 9 Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work areas. It is absolutely essential that you know the safe and proper use of the power tool or appliance that you intend to use. All operators must read, understand and follow the tool/appliance owners manual.
  • Page 10 Safety symbols 1. Precautions that involve your safety 2. Start and run the generator outdoors. Do not run the generator in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open. 3. To reduce the risk of serious injury, avoid attempting to touch the hot surface.

    5. OPERATING PROCEDURES 5.1STARTING THE ENGINE [CAUTION] Check the oil level before each operations. (See page 6) Perform the specified Daily Inspection to see if it is in normal condition (a) Make sure the no-fuse circuit breaker is in the OFF position. The generator may be hard to start if a load is connected.
  • Page 21 NOTE: You might have to keep the starter running for at least 3 to 5 seconds, since the engine incorporates the mechanism in it where the ignition circuit is activated by the increase of hydraulic pressure. In the following occasion, two or three trials may be required for starting the engine: (1)The very first starting of a new generator.
  • Page 22 5.2 USING ELECTRIC POWER WARNING Make sure that the appliance is switched OFF before connecting it to the generator. Do not move the generator while it is running.

  • Page 28: Wattage Information

    6. WATTAGE INFORMATION For single phase Some appliances need a "surge" of energy when starting. This means that the amount of electrical power needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to maintain its use. Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles/Hz, amperage (amps) and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool.
  • Page 29 To determine the total wattage required to run a particular electrical appliance or tool, multiply the voltage figure of the appliance/tool by the amperage (amps) figure of same. The voltage and amperage (amps) information can be found on rating label which is normally attached to electrical appliances and tools. Applicable Wattage Applications PM 15000ES-R...

Oil drain plug (On both side) (A) When changing oil, stop the engine and loosen the drain plug. NOTE: Please use a container to load the used oil for protecting environment.
  • Page 34 8.3 SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER NOTE: Operating engine with loose or damaged air cleaner components could cause premature wear and failure. Replace all bent or damaged components. Paper element cannot be blown out with compressed air. 1. Remove precleaner from paper element. 2.
  • Page 35 8.4 CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK PLUG NOTE: Do not clean spark plug in a machine using abrasive grit. Some grit could remain in spark plug and enter engine causing extensive wear and damage. Engine misfire or starting problems are often caused by a spark plug that has improper gap or is in poor condition.
  • Page 36 8.6 CHECKING CARBON BRUSH BRUSH HOLDER If the brush become excessively worn, its contact pressure with the slip ring changes and causes a roughened surface on the slip ring, resulting in irregular generator performance. Check the brush every 500 hours or if 10 to 5mm generator performance is irregular.

  • Page 37: Preparation For Storage

    9. PREPARATION FOR STORAGE The following procedures should be followed prior to storage of your generator for periods of 6 months or longer. Drain fuel from fuel tank carefully by disconnecting the fuel line. Gasoline left in the fuel tank will eventually deteriorate making engine-starting difficult. In order to remove the fuel in the carburetor, run the engine at no-load until it stops.
