Introduction Thank you for purchasing this Shindaiwa soundproof diesel engine generator. This manual has been created to ensure safe usage of this generator. Be sure to read this manual before operation. Improper operation/handling of this generator will result in an accident or malfunction.
1. Safety Instructions WARNING : EXHAUST GAS POISONING Do not operate the generator in poorly ventilated areas such as indoors or tunnels, as the exhaust gas of the engine contains substances that are harmful to human health. Do not direct exhaust fumes at bystanders or buildings. WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK ...

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. 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.

Equipment 5-1. Three-phase and Single-phase simultaneous Output This generator is capable of generating three-phase and single-phase three-wire output simultaneously. (Three-phase output terminal and single-phase three-wire output terminal are equipped individually.) Neither switching operation of output nor switching operation of wiring is needed. Three-Phase and Single-Phase Three-Wire Output Terminal GROUND <...
CAUTION : BURNS Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after stopping the engine as they are still extremely hot. The bed of this generator is equipped with a spill containment (structure for preventing leakage of liquid) so that any spilled liquid will not leak to outside of the generator when oil or fuel is spilled or leak.
Page 15
This generator is equipped with the following warning indicators: BATTERY (battery charge), OIL PRESS (engine oil pressure), WATER TEMP (coolant temperature), OVER SPEED (engine overspeed), AIR FILTER (air cleaner clogging), SPILL CONTAINMENT (spill containment amount), and ENGINE (engine malfunction). When the engine starts, all the lamps will be lights off.
(4) OVER SPEED (Engine Overspeed) Warning Indicator This generator is equipped with a function such that the engine is automatically stopped if an engine fault occurs causing the engine speed to increase excessively. If the engine speed rose above 2,070rpm during operation, the OVER SPEED warning indicators and ENGINE warning indicators illuminates, and the engine will be automatically stopped.
If the liquid stored in the spill containment exceeds approximately about 25gal ( 94.6 liters ) during operation, the SPILL CONTAINMENT overflow warning indicator illuminates, and the engine automatically stops. If this occurs, flush the liquid stored in the spill containment. (Refer to section “10.

Generator Meters and Gauges (1) Voltmeter The voltmeter displays the three-phase output voltage (voltage between L1-L3). Check that 240 V is displayed during operation. Output voltage for single-phase three-wire (voltage between U-W) is the same voltage as the three-phase output voltage (voltage between L1-L3).

Switches Breaker Trip (1) Starter Switch Selector Switch STOP The engine is stopped and all power is shut off with this position. The key can be inserted and removed only in this position. RUN/PREHEAT 3-Phase 1-Phase Breaker Breaker Position for operating the generator.
< Note > If measuring the output current for a single-phase three-wire type, turn the ammeter selector switch to “L1+U” or “L3+W”. The voltage cannot be accurately measured if set to “L2”. Voltage Regulator/Throttle Switch (1) Voltage Regulator This dial is for regulating voltage output by the generator. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the voltage and counterclockwise to decrease it.
Transport/Installation 6-1. Transport Procedures WARNING : INJURY Do not lift up the unit using tie down. Use of such could result in the generator falling. No persons should be under a lifted generator at all time. CAUTION : INJURY ...
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. Operate this generator 3 ft. (1 m) or more from walls or other hindrances, and on a level surface.

< 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. ...
CAUTION : PROPERTY DAMAGE Check that the voltages of the generator output setting, output terminal connection and load power source are consistent. Turn the three-phase and single-phase breakers on the operation panel to OFF and stop operation. Turn the lever of the voltage selector switch to the desired output setting. Three-phase 240/480 V power is output to the three-phase output terminal.
