(3) Earth Leakage Relay Sensing the earth leakage current, the unit (relay) send a signal To the 3-phase and the 1-phase breaker to trip-off in order to shut-off The circuit to the terminals (loads). < Note > Do not use this relay as the ON/OFF switch to the load. Voltage Regulator and Throttle Lever (1) Voltage Regulator The dial adjusts generator output voltage.
5-3. Fuel Piping Switch (3Way Fuel Valve) CAUTION : FIRE Always make sure that the engine is stopped when working on piping. Always be sure to wipe up any spilled fuel. After working on the piping, check that there is no fuel leakage. Change the 3way fuel valve to switch to supply fuel from the external tank.
(1) Lifting Procedures Always be sure to use lifting hooks when lifting up the generator, and raise it slowly at a completely vertical angle. (2) Transport When transporting this generator, tie rope to the left and right tie downs, and securely fix the generator.
Load Connections 7-1. Load Cable Selection CAUTION : PROPERTY DAMAGE Cable burnout can occur due to generated heat if the load current exceeds the allowable current of the cable. The voltage drop between cables is large if the cable is excessively long or thin, resulting in decreased input voltage to equipment using the generator, thereby causing decreased performance, faulty operation and malfunction.
Length 50 m 75 m 100 m or less Current 100A 7-2. Connecting Load Cables WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK Before connecting or disconnecting the load cables to/from the output terminal, always turn the output circuit breakers to the OFF position, stop the engine, and remove the engine key.

(2) 1-Phase Output Terminals and Receptacle For 1-phase load The terminal Voltage: 100V/110V at 50Hz/60Hz only. In the case of no use of 3-Phase output power, refer to the Following drawing and chart CON1 CON2 U1-U0 W1-W0 Sub Total Total Voltage 100V/110V only Unit...
7-3. Earth Leakage Relay and Grounding WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK Ground the every grounding terminal to the earth as set in the manual. If even one of all is unconnected by mistake or accident, it will be much more dangerous for human than the NO-RELAY case, because leaking current inevitably goes through the body.
Ensure that the breakers and the switches of 3-Phase Circuit Breaker loads are positioned to OFF. Ensure that the 3-Phase circuit breaker and the 1-Phase circuit breaker are positioned to OFF. (Refer to "4-2.Operation Panel") Following the procedure in 9-1, Initial Startup / Pre-Check,start an engine.
8-1. Checking Engine Oil To check the engine oil, keep the equipment in leveled position, remove the oil level indicator and wipe so that no oil remains, and then re-insert the dipstick fully. Prior to starting the engine, make sure to fill the engine oil through the oil filler until it reaches the MAX line.
Page 27
Check that the subtank coolant level is in between FULL and LOW. If the subtank coolant is lower than the LOW level, add coolant to the subtank and radiator. (1) Filling the Sub-Tank Sub-tank Remove the sub-tank cap. FULL Fill the sub-tank with coolant until it reaches the FULL line.
8-3. Checking the Fan Belt (1) Fan Belt Tension Press your finger against the middle of the fan belt. (approx. 98N) If the slack is 10-15mm, the tension is normal. (2) Fan Belt Condition Check the fan belt for damage and replace if any damage or other fault is found.
Open the check door and check for fuel, oil and coolant leakage from fuel piping connections and similar locations. 8-6. Checking the Battery CAUTION : EYE/SKIN INJURY Wear rubber gloves and other protective wear to protect eyes, skin and clothing from the battery fluid which contains diluted sulfuric acid.
Remove the clamp and cable from positive (+) post from the battery on the left side. Remove the left side battery from the seat. ※Reinstall the new battery in the reverse order (always install the cable to the positive (+) post of the new battery first). 8.6.2 Replacing the battery installed on the right side toward the operation panel: Remove the clamp and cable from negative (-) post...

< Note > Check that the surrounding area is safe before starting the engine. When there are multiple workers who are working together, they must mutually signal each other before starting the engine. Do not use in an area with high temperature or humidity, or an area with a large amount of dust. ...
9-2. Procedures during Operation (1) Checks after Startup Make sure that all meters and indicators are in normal status. (Refer to section “5. Equipment”.) Check that there is no abnormal vibration or noise. Check that the exhaust gas color is normal. When operation is normal, the exhaust gas should be colorless or slightly bluish.
9-4. Protective Functions WARNING : INJURY Do not open the check door during operation. Be careful of pinching or catching of moving parts such as the cooling fan and fan belt. Always be sure to stop the engine and remove the engine key when performing inspection or maintenance.
9-5. Connecting with External Fuel Tank CAUTION : FIRE Always make sure that the engine is stopped when working on piping. Always be sure to wipe up any spilled fuel. After working on the piping, check that there is no fuel leakage. Turn the 3way fuel valve lever to the “A”...
