CHECK BEFORE USE

3.1 Notes for diesel generator set operation
Before operating diesel generator, please read the manual. Espe-
cially following points should be paid attention to for preventing
the accident happened.
3.1.1. Preventing the fire
The engine fuel is light diesel. It is forbidden to adopt gasoline and
kerosene etc. When the oil overflows, please use clean cloth to
remove the oil. It is not permitted to have diesel generator near to
gasoline, kerosene, match and inflammable material, because the
temperature around the muffler is very high when the engine is
operated. For the sake of better ventilation during the generator
operation, the distance between diesel generator and the building
should be more than 1.5 meters. The diesel generator should be
operated on plain ground. Otherwise, the oil will overflow from
diesel generator.
3.1.2 Preventing the suction of exhaust gas
For avoiding exhaust gas sucked by the person, the diesel genera-
tor will be not allowed to work under condition of worse ventilation,
because exhaust gas emitted from the engine includes harmful
CO.
3.1.3 Preventing the damage by high-temperature
parts
When diesel engine is working, it is not allowed to touch high-
temperature parts, such as muffler and its shell etc.
3.1.4 Preventing the electric shock or short circuit
For avoiding the shock by electricity or short circuit, it is forbidden
to touch with hand the alternator when working. Do not operate
the generator in raining or foggy.
For preventing the shock by electricity, the grounding should be
made with adoption of the wire, which of one end is connected
with the grounding terminal of the generator and another end is
connected with the device outside. The grounding terminal of the
generator is on control panel.
3.1.5 Other safety points
It is very important to know how to stop the generator and the
functions of all switches. The untrained person is not permitted to
operate the generator. The operator should wear safe clothes and
shoes during working.
