PRECAUTIONS ON
GENERATOREQUIPPED ENGINE
To avoid personal injury:
If the engine is kept running under no load or light
load (load factor below 30%), unburnt fuel or
carbon builds up in the exhaust system. As a
result, the engine may get damaged or cause a fire.
Run the engine under enough load at regular
intervals to remove unburnt fuel and carbon
deposits.
A Before doing the load operation, make sure
there is nothing flammable around the engine.
A Do not put a load all at once on the engine, but
gradually.
A If by any chance, spark rises out of the muffler
outlet, DO NOT GET THE ENGINE UNLOADED,
BUT INTERRUPT IT IMMEDIATELY.
