DANGER
Do not touch the exhaust manifold or heat screen
when engine is running, or immediately after it has
stopped. The exhaust manifold and heat screen will
be hot and can cause severe burns. Always allow the
exhaust manifold and heat screen to cool before
carrying out any maintenance. Pay particular
attention to the heat screen as this will be extremely
hot.
WARNING
If you need to perform an emergency stop of the
engine, use the electronic emergency stop device
installed on the generator before attempting a
mechanical emergency stop. It is difficult to operate
the mechanical emergency stop device which is
mounted on a fuel pump. Serious burns can occur if
the operator comes into contact with the exhaust
manifold. The operator is required to install a
separate cable for operating the mechanical
emergency stop. The engine manufacturer will not be
responsible for accidents or injury arising without
the installation of separate auxiliary cable.
PRECAUTIONS IN STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Before starting the engine, please read this manual
carefully and fully understand 'Danger,' 'Warning,'
and 'Caution'. If you cannot fully understand it or have
any question, please contact us.
2. For safety reasons, attach "Warning" signs around
engines in operation to keep people other than
workers from accessing the engines. Let engine
operators know that they are responsible for the
safety of the engine room.
3. Only authorized people may start and operate
engines. Unauthorized people should not be allowed
to handle engines.
4. Do not get close to moving or rotating parts while the
engine is in operation.
5. Do not touch the hot engine during operation.
6. Exhaust gas is poisonous. Fully ventilate before
starting engine. If the space is enclosed, ensure that
it is well ventilated.
7. Keep vicinity of engine, ladders and stairways free of
oil and grease. Accidents caused by slipping can
have serious consequences.
CAUTIONS FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR
1. Inspection and repair of engine should be performed
only when the engine is stopped.
2. If it is inevitable to perform inspection or repair on the
operating engine, do not get close to the rotating
parts.
WARNING
When accessories such as necklaces, rings,
watches, or gloves become stuck in rotating parts
while the engine is running, serious bodily injury
may occur.
WARNING
Do not exchange or disassemble a pipe or hose
(from the engine fuel circuit, engine oil circuit, cool-
ant circuit, or compressed air circuit) while the
engine is running. The leaked liquid may cause
bodily injuries.
3. Use an engine oil drain container that is large enough
to prevent the overflow of engine oil while draining.
4. Open the engine coolant cap after fully cooling the
engine to exchange or replenish coolant.
WARNING
If the coolant cap is opened while the engine is still
hot, hot water will spurt out and may cause burns.
Open the engine coolant cap after fully cooling the
engine.
5. Fuel is highly flammable. Smoking, sparks or naked
flames around an engine may cause fire.
WARNING
Only refuel when the engine is stopped.
6. Mark and separately manage the containers for
storing coolant from beverage bottle for avoiding
confusion. See a doctor immediately in case of
drinking coolant.
7. Follow the instructions provided by the battery
manufacturer when checking or handling batteries.
