9 2.1.4 DIAGNOSTIC S If the generator shuts down due to a fault, the indicator will flash a code to identify the problem. 2 Flashes = Low Batter y (V oltage falls below 11.0 VDC for one • minute) NOTE: Alarm will clear automatically if voltage rises over 11.0 VDC. Battery voltage is not monitored during crank cycle. 3 Flashes = Overcrank (Unit do[...]

10 2.4.5 ENGINE EXHAUST GAS Before star ting the generator engine, be sure there is no way for exhaust gases to enter the vehicle interior and endanger people or animals. Close windows, doors and other openings in the vehicle that, if open, might permit exhaust gases to enter the vehicle. n The generator engine releases DEADL Y carbon monoxide gas [...]

11 Most lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads indicate their • required watts on their nameplate or data plate. For light bulbs, simply note the wattage rating of the bulb. If a load does not show its rated wattage, multiply that load’s • rated VOL TS times AMPS to obtain WA TTS. Induction type motors (such as those that r un the vehicle?[...]

12 2.8.5 OPERA TION IN HIGH GRASS OR BRUSH  Never operate the generator while the vehicle is parked over high grass, weeds, brush, leaves or any other combustible substance. Such materials can ignite and burn from the heat of the exhaust system. The generator exhaust system becomes extremely hot dur- ing operation and remains hot for a long time[...]

10. Remove the dipstick, valve cover plug and add new oil (see “Engine Oil Requirements”) to engine. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE “FULL ” MARK. 11. Install and tighten plug and dipstick before star ting the engine. 12. Star t engine and check for leaks. NOTE: Check the oil level and fill to the “FULL ” mark after checking for leaks. The filter[...]

14 3.6 CLEAN SP ARK ARRESTOR The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrestor screen. Inspect and clean the screen ever y 200 hours of operation or once each year , whichever comes first. NOTE: If using the generator on any forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered unimproved land, it must equipped with a spark arrestor . The spark arrestor mus[...]

15  A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions are to be observed when work - ing on batteries: • Remove watches, rings or other metal objects; • Use tools with insulated handles; • W ear rubber gloves and boots; • Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the battery; • Disc[...]

27 6.3.2 TESTING THE INST ALL A TION The manufacturer recommends testing the installation to be sure adequate cooling air flow is available to the unit before placing the unit into ser vice. If the unit shows signs of over heating, enlarge the air openings. Never place a unit into ser vice until absolutely cer tain that cooling and ventilation is a[...]

28 2.5 EXHA UST SYSTEM The generator exhaust system must be safely and properly installed. Only approved mufflers and other exhaust system par ts must be used. A properly installed exhaust system must be vapor tight, quiet and completely safe. n The generator engine gives off DEADL Y carbon monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This dangerous ga[...]

29 Do not terminate the exhaust system under any opening, win- • dow or vent that can be opened or is not permanently sealed from the vehicle interior . Exhaust piping must be large enough to prevent excessive back • pressure on the generator engine. Never tee the generator engine exhaust pipe into the vehicle • engine exhaust piping. This ca[...]

30  Do NOT connect electrical loads in excess of any circuit breaker rating or problems will develop with circuit breaker tripping, which causes a loss of AC output. Also, do NOT exceed the generator's rated wattage capac- ity . Add the watts or amperes of all lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads the generator will operate at one time.[...]
