terms of using the generator economically for a long-term and ensuring continuous safety of life and property. Required safety measures
should be taken in advance during the installation, usage and maintenance. Safe operating responsibility of the generator set belongs to
people using and maintaining it. Provided that instructions, methods and safety rules in this manual are complied with, risk of accident
will decrease.
Otherwise, unexpected defects and accidents which may result within serious injured and death of people and damage on the
equipment. Please have your generator used and maintained by well-trained people who issued or authorized persons in order to prevent
these occasions.
Please plan any part, machine or engine you are operating in a way to ensure easy access to every point. Take pre-safety
measures about how you can avoid from exposure to occasions like touching with rotating parts, burning and cut with sharp edges while
checking out the engine. Ensure that covers of turbo compressor driving shaft, pump shaft, fan belts and winglets among engine
components are fitted.
Never operate your generator when it is broken down and in unsafe conditions. Always isolate accumulator negative (-) lead
terminal by separating from the accumulator. Bring attention of people by hanging a WARNING/CAUTION sign on the engine or its
neighboring.
Never make any maintenance or repair while the generator set is operating. Turn off the generator and take all safety measures
before any maintenance initiated.
Never have unauthorized persons repaired and maintained, this will cause damage in your generator and also be out of from
scope of guarantee. We recommend you to use our authorized services providing 7/24 service.
1.2. ATTENTION! DON’T DO THE FOLLOWINGS:
Don’t start the engine indoors. Exhaust gases are odorless and can be deadly as they contain carbon monoxide.
Do not insert your hands and feet into moving or rotating parts.
Do not store, pour or use gasoline near open flames or appliances such as stoves, water heaters or sparking devices.
Do not refuel in places such as poorly ventilated rooms. Do this in an open area.
