5. Precautions in Operation
5.1 At engine starting
Before starting engine, check connections of each coupler
and loosening of each screw and also lead wires if not
short circuit to the generator body.
5.2 When couplers are off or lead wires short circuit in
operation, the following troubles are likely to occur:
( 1) Off of the couplers between the generator and the
CDI unit - - - If all of the couplers are off instanta-
neously, there would be no trouble. However, the coupler
of pulser lead be off first and then exciter lead gets off,
the main thyristor would be damaged due to overvoltage.
(2) Off of coupler between the CDI unit and ignition
coils - - - damage of the main thyristor due to over-
voltage.
(3) Short circuit of ignition leads and lead wire (orange)
---damage of main thyristor due to overvoltage.
(4) Short circuit of lead wire (white) - - - deteriora-
tion of main thyristor due to overvoltage.
(5) Short circuit of lead wire (red) - - - no damage,
however, no spark.
(6) Off of plug caps from plugs in operation - - - no
damage, however, no spark.
5.3 To stop an engine operation
To stop an engine operation, stop it by the stop lead.
To pull out couplers and/or plug caps in operation of
engine will cause such troubles above mentioned.
