8-3. Checking the Fuel CAUTION : FIRE This generator uses diesel fuel. Always be sure to stop the engine and not bring flames close when inspecting fuel or refueling. Wait until the engine has cooled before performing such procedures. ...
(4) Replacing the Fan Belt Request the authorized distributor where the generator was Bolt purchased to replace the fan belt. < Note > Use of a loose or damaged fan belt could result in overheating or insufficient charging. Do not operate the generator if fan guard has been removed. Alternator Bolt 8-5.
CAUTION : EXPLOSION Never use or recharge the battery if the fluid level is below the minimum level. Do not create sparks or bring flame near the battery as it generates flammable gas. Check the fluid level, and add distilled water until it reaches the upper level when the fluid level is near the lower level.
Page 29
CAUTION : FIRE Do not carry flammable items (such as fuel, gas and paint) or items that are highly combustible near the generator as the muffler, exhaust gas and other parts become extremely hot. Position this generator 3 ft. (1 m) or more from walls or other hindrances, and on a level surface.
(1) Manual Start Turn off the Circuit Breaker on the operation panel of this machine. Turn the Power Switch to ON position. Press the Left button or Right button to select MAN mode. Press the Start button to start the engine. Warm up the engine for approximately 5 minutes.
(2) Adjustment during Operation During load operation, check the voltmeter and finely adjust voltage using the voltage regulator dial. Restarting after stopping due to running out of fuel The fuel filter includes an automatic air-bleeding device. Restart the engine easily according to the following procedures even if the engine has stopped due to running out of fuel.

(6) Air Filter Clogging Up The alarm message “*Wrn Air Filter Clogging Up” will appear if the air cleaner element becomes clogged during operation. If it illuminates, immediately stop the engine and clean or replace the air cleaner element. (Refer to section “10. Inspection/Maintenance (3) Air Filter Element Cleaning/Replacement”.) (7) Fuel Level Low The alarm message “*Wrn Fuel Level”...
< Note > If using a hose for the piping, use oil- External Tank resistant hose with an internal diameter of 0.31 to 0.35 in (8 to 9 mm). Set the fuel level of the external fuel tank from 0 to 10 ft. (3 m) above from the bottom of this generator.
Page 37
CAUTION : FIRE Always be sure to wipe up any spilled fuel or oil. CAUTION : BURNS Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after stopping the engine as they are still extremely hot. Do not open the radiator cap immediately after stopping the engine. Do so will result in steam gushing out.
