SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Please make sure you review each precaution carefully.  
Pay special attention to statement preceded by the following words.  
DANGER  
“DANGER” indicates a possibility of death or serious injury if instructions are  
not followed.  
WARNING  
“WARNING” indicates a strong possibility of severe personal injury or loss of  
life if instructions are not followed.  
CAUTION “CAUTION” indicates a possibility of personal injury or  
equipment damage if instructions are not followed.  
WARNING  
Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the potential  
danger of explosion or fire.  
Do not fill the fuel tank with fuel while the engine is running. Do not smoke or use open  
flame near the fuel tank. Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling. If fuel is spilt, wipe  
it off and let dry before starting the engine.  
WARNING  
Do not place in flammables near the generator.  
Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash, or any other in flammables near  
the generator.  
WARNING  
Do not operate the generator inside a room, cave, tunnel, or other  
insufficiently ventilated area.  
Always operate it in a well-ventilated area, otherwise the engine may  
become overheated, and the poisonous carbon monoxide gas, an odorless,  
1m  
colorless, poison gas, contained in the exhaust gas will endanger human lives.  
Operate generator only outdoors and far from open windows, doors,  
ventilation intakes and other openings.  
1m  
Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away , including overhead, from  
any structure or building use.  
WARNING  
Do not enclose the generator nor cover it with a box.  
The generator has a built-in forced air cooling system, and may become overheated if it is enclosed.  
If generator has been covered to protect it from the weather during non use, be sure to remove it and keep  
it well away from the area during generator use.  
WARNING  
Operate the generator on a level surface.  
It is not necessary to prepare a special foundation for the generator.  
However, the generator will vibrate on an irregular surface, so choose a level place without surface  
irregularities.  
If the generator is tilted or moved during operation, fuel may spill and / or the generator may tip over, causing  
a hazardous situation.  
Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the generator is operated on a steep incline or slope. In such a case,  
piston seizure may occur even if the oil is above the upper level.  
WARNING  
Pay attention to the wiring or extension cords from the generator to the connected device.  
If the wire is under the generator or in contact with a vibrating part, it may break and  
possibly cause a fire, generator burnout, or electric shock hazard.  
Replace damaged or worn cords immediately.

WARNING  
Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands.  
The operator may suffer severe electric shock if the generator is wet due to rain or snow.  
WARNING  
If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator, nor wash it with  
water.  
WARNING  
Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding procedures are followed during each and every  
use. Failure to do so can be fatal.  
WARNING  
Do not contact the generator to a commercial power line. Connection to a commercial  
power line may short circuit the generator and ruin it or cause electric shock hazard. Use  
the transfer switch for connecting to domestic circuit.  
WARNING  
No smoking while handling the battery. The battery emits flammable hydrogen gas,  
which can explode if exposed to electric arcing or open flame.  
Keep the area well-ventilated and keep open flames/sparks away when handling the battery.  
WARNING  
Engine becomes extremely hot during and for some time after operation. Keep  
combustible materials well away from generator area.  
Be very careful not to touch any parts of the hot engine especially the muffler area or  
serious burns may result.  
WARNING  
Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work areas.  
WARNING  
It is absolutely essential that you know the safe and proper use of the power tool or appliance that you intend  
to use. All operators must read, understand and follow the tool/appliance owners manual. Tool and appliance  
applications and limitations must be understood. Follow all directions given on labels and warnings. Keep all  
instruction manuals and literature in a safe place for future reference.  
WARNING  
Use only "LISTED" extension cords.  
When a tool or appliance is used outdoors, use only extension cords marked "For Outdoor Use". Extension  
cords, when not in use should be stored in a dry and well ventilated area.  
WARNING  
Always switch off generator's AC circuit breaker and disconnect tools or appliances when not in use, before  
servicing, adjusting, or installing accessories and attachments.

WATTAGE INFORMATION  
Some appliances need a "surge" of energy when starting.  
This means that the amount of electrical power needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount  
needed to maintain its use.  
Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles / Hz, amperage (amps)  
and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool.  
Check with your nearest dealer or service center with questions regarding power surge of certain appliances  
or power tools.  
Electrical loads such as incandescent lamps and hot plates require the same wattage to start as is  
needed to maintain use.  
Loads such as fluorescent lamps require 1.2 to 2 times the indicated wattage during start-up.  
Loads for mercury lamps require 2 to 3 times the indicated wattage during start-up.  
Electrical motors require a large starting current. Power requirements depend on the type of motor and  
its use. Once enough "surge" is attained to start the motor, the appliance will require only 50% to 30%  
of the wattage to continue running.  
Most electrical tools require 1.2 to 3 times their wattage for running under load during use. For example,  
a 5000 watt generator can power a 1800 to 4000 watt electrical tool.  
Loads such as submersible pumps and air compressors require a very large force to start. They need 3  
to 5 times the normal running wattage in order to start.  
For example, a 5000 watt generator would only be able to drive a 1000 to 1700 watt pump.  
NOTE  
The following wattage chart is general guide only. Refer to your specific appliance for  
correct wattage.  
To determine the total wattage required to run a particular electrical appliance or tool, multiply the voltage  
figure of the appliance/tool by the amperage (amps) figure of same. The voltage and amperage (amps)  
information can be found on a name plate which is normally attached to electrical appliances and tools.

VOLTAGE DROP IN ELECTRIC EXTENSION CORDS  
When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a certain  
amount of voltage drop or loss occurs in the extension cord which reduces the effective voltage available for  
the appliance or tool.  
The chart below has been prepared to illustrate the approximate voltage loss when an extension cord of 300  
feet (approx. 100 meters) is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator.

8. CHANGING FUEL FILTER ELEMENT  
5 !  
(See Fig. - )  
The maintenance intervals for the fuel filter are  
dependent upon the purity of the diesel oil being  
used and, if necessary, may have to be reduced to  
250 hours.  
6. CHECKING SCREW CONNECTIONS  
WARNING  
Check the tightness of all threaded connections  
When working on the fuel system, do not  
expose it to naked flames; do not smoke.  
and take up slack if necessary, provided that  
these can be reached during maintenance work.  
Do not tighten the cylinder head bolts.  
CAUTION  
Keep the entire area clean so that no dirt  
reaches the fuel. Fuel particles may  
damage the injection system.

Check the filter cartridge for cracks or any other  
type of damage to the paper filter by holding it  
inclined towards the light or by shining a light  
source through it.  
Double fuel filter system  
This system consists of a maintenance-free external  
filter qand a replaceable-cartridge filter w. The  
advantage of this system consists in retaining dirt  
particles which might get into the fuel system on  
filter replacement, upstream of the following  
external filter, so that they cannot endanger the  
injection system.  
CAUTION  
The slightest damage to the paper filter  
rules out it being used any longer.  
CAUTION  
Re-assemble the filter cartridge in the reverse  
order of work.  
This external filter must not be  
q
replaced. Only replace the fuel filter  
consulting with your nearest service  
dealer.

PERIODIC OPERATION AND  
INSPECTION  
TRANSPORTING  
When transporting the generator, make sure that  
the fuel should be drained from the tank.  
When furnishing the generator as emergency  
electric power source, periodic operation and  
inspection are needed.  
WARNING  
Fuel and engine oil will be deteriorated with time,  
and this causes that the engine is difficult to start  
and as the results improper engine operation and  
fault.  
To prevent fuel spillage due to the  
vibration and impact, never transport  
the generator with the fuel filled in the  
tank.  
Secure the tank cap thoroughly.  
CAUTION  
Since the fuel will be deteriorated with time,  
replace fuel with fresh one periodically;  
once every three (3) months is  
recommended.  
To avoid the risk of the fuel  
flammability, never leave the generator  
in an area exposed to direct sunlight or  
high temperatures for a long time.  
Keep the fuel in the exclusive fuel  
storage tank made by steel when  
transporting.  
(a) Check the fuel, engine oil and air cleaner.  
(b) Start engine.  
(c) With appliance such as lightings activated,  
run the engine for over ten minutes.  
(a) Turn the fuel cock to the CLOSE position.  
(d) Check for the following items;  
Proper engine running.  
Adequate output and the indicator lamp  
turned on properly.  
CLOSE  
Key switch and fuel cock normally  
operated.  
No leakage of engine oil and fuel.  
OPEN  
(b) Drain the fuel from the tank.  
(c) Secure the tank cap.  
CAUTION
