■ Operation
Stay away from rotating parts during
operation.
* Otherwise you may get caught in the rotating
parts and seriously injured.
Do not approach the engine side
without care during operation.
* Serious injury may result due to unexpected
device operation.
Do not touch any part of the engine
(other than the manual stop lever)
during or immediately after operation
and immediately after stopping.
* If you touch, you could get burned by heat.
* Before starting the inspection and maintenance
work, make sure that the engine is cooled
down.
Do not turn off the battery switch
during operation.
* Otherwise, the instruments will become
inoperable, damage to the devices due to
operation at low oil pressure may occur, the
engine may be forcibly stopped by the
solenoids, or the engine may become unable to
stop.
* It may also cause degradation of the diodes and
transistors in the alternator.
Never turn the key to the "START"
position during operation.
* Otherwise, the starter could be damaged.
Do not remove the protective covers
during operation.
* If you are caught in rotating parts, you could be
seriously injured.
Do not perform the inspection and
maintenance work during operation.
* Unexpected activation of the devices could
cause serious personal injury or damage to the
devices.
Do not clean the engine during
operation.
* Otherwise, water or cleaning solution could
enter the engine, and will cause piston scuffing
and damage to the devices.
Do not operate the engine at no load
or low load for a prolonged period of
time.
* Otherwise, it could cause deterioration in the
exhaust gas properties.

Pub. No. K29001-00320 Revision: 1
Do not operate the engine at a load
exceeding the specified value or for a
prolonged period of time.
* Otherwise, the main bearing or connecting rod
bearing could seize.
* The thermal load could increase excessively
and will cause piston scuffing.
* Otherwise, the crankshaft stress could become
too large, and the crankshaft could crack or
break.
Do not approach near the breather or
breather gas.
* The breather releases breather gas in the air.
Contacting the breather gas may cause burns.
Ventilate the machine room (engine
room) sufficiently.
* Otherwise, deterioration in the exhaust gas
properties and damage to the devices could
occur due to insufficient air intake.
When operating at low load (less than
30%), limit the operation to an hour or
less.
* Prolonged warm-up operation causes carbon
build-up in the cylinders that leads to
incomplete combustion.
* After one hour operation at a low load, operate
the engine at 50% or more of rated load for 30
minutes or longer to prevent the formation of
carbon deposits.
<Checking During Operation>
If an engine abnormality is observed
during operation, stop the engine
immediately.
* Sustained use of the engine without any
remedy could cause serious personal injury or
damage to the devices.
* Investigate the cause of abnormality, correct
the defect, then restart the engine.
* If the cause of problem cannot be located,
contact your SME dealer.
If overload symptoms such as black
exhaust smoke is observed, reduce
the load immediately and assure the
proper output.
* Overload could not only cause increase in fuel
consumption but also lead to malfunction and
environmental pollution (outbreak of the black
smoke) due to carbon deposits.
