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 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 contained in the exhaust gases will endanger human lives.

Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any structure or

building during use.

If the generator must be used indoors, the area must be well-ventilated and

extreme caution must be taken regarding the discharge of exhaust gases.

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.

Refill engine oil to the upper level as instructed

on page 5 and restart the engine.

starting

procedures, check the oil level.

Do not remove OIL SENSOR PROBE when

refilling with oil.

Remove oil filler cap on the opposite side

of carburetor.

CAUTION

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.

5. WATTAGE INFORMATION

GE-2800IS(GB)GU212705.8.316:40PMページ10

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 100 meters

is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator.

9. TRANSPORTING

PERIODIC OPERATION AND

INSPECTION

When furnishing the generator as emergency

electric power source, periodic operation and

inspection are needed.

Fuel (gasoline) 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.

Since the fuel (gasoline) will be deteriorated

with time, replace fuel (gasoline) with fresh

one periodically; once every three (3)

months is recommended.

CAUTION

(a) Check the fuel (gasoline), engine oil and air

cleaner.

(b) Start engine.

run the engine for over ten minutes.

(d) Check for the following items;

■■Proper engine running.

■■Adequate output and the indicator lamp

turned on properly.

■■The engine switch normally operated.

■■

No leakage of engine oil and fuel (gasoline).

When transporting the generator, make sure that

the fuel (gasoline) should be drained from the

tank.

(a) Turn the engine switch to the

""(CLOSE) position.

(b) Drain the fuel from the tank.

■■To prevent fuel spillage due to the

vibration and impact, never transport

the generator with the fuel (gasoline)

filled in the tank.

■■Secure the tank cap thoroughly.

■■To avoid the risk of the gasoline

flammability, never leave the generator

in an area exposed to direct sunlight or

high temperatures for a long time.

■■

Keep the fuel (gasoline) in the exclusive

gasoline storage tank made by steel

when transporting.

WARNING

■■Do not place any heavy objects on the

generator.

■■Select and place the generator in the

proper position of the transport vehicle

so that the generator not be moved or

fallen down.

Fix the generator with rope as necessary.

CAUTION

GE-2800IS(GB)GU212705.8.316:40PMページ15

The following procedures should be followed prior to storage of your generator for periods of 6 months or longer.

■■Drain fuel from fuel tank carefully by disconnecting the fuel line.

Gasoline left in the fuel tank will eventually deteriorate making engine-starting difficult.

■■Remove the drain screw of the carburetor.(See Fig. 6-q)

qDRAIN SCREW

■■Change engine oil.

■■Check for loose bolts and screws, tighten them if necessary.

■■Clean generator thoroughly with oiled cloth. Spray with preservative if available. NEVER USE WATER

TO CLEAN GENERATOR !

■■Pull starter handle until resistance is felt, leaving handle in that position.

■■Store generator in a well ventilated, low humidity area.

When generator engine fails to start after several attempts, or if no electricity is available at the output

socket, check the following chart. If your generator still fails to start or generate electricity, contact your

nearest DOLMAR factory or authorized service center for further information or corrective procedures.
