GASOLINE GENERATOR USER AND MAINTENANCE MANUEL
1. PART: SAFETY MEASURES
1.1. INTRODUCTION
Generator groups produced by our company have been designed and conceived by prioritizing all sorts of safety of lives and
property.
Generators should be installed and used in accordance with maintenance and operating rules stated in this catalogue both in
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.
Do not refuel while the engine is running. Allow the engine to cool for 20 minutes before filling the gas tank. Store fuel in safe
containers.
Do not remove the fuel tank cap while the engine is running.
Do not start the engine in the presence of gasoline odor or other explosive conditions.
Do not start the engine if it is overflowing or dripping gasoline. Move the generator away from the stream and block ignition
until the gasoline has evaporated.
Do not carry the generator from one place to another with gasoline in the tank.
Do not smoke while refueling.
Do not run the engine at excessive speed. This can lead to accidents.
Do not touch the throttle lever, links or parts that can increase speed.
Do not change the engine speeds selected by the manufacturer.
Do not control sparking (ignition) by removing the spark plug or spark plug wire. Use a tester for this job.
Do not turn (run) the crankshaft by removing the spark plug. If the engine is choked, turn the throttle to "FAST" position and
run.
Do not hit the flywheel with a hard object while it is operating, it may break. Use the correct tool for servicing.
Do not run the engine without a muffler. Check frequently and replace if necessary. If there is a muffler deflector, check it
periodically and replace it with the correct deflector if necessary.
Do not run the engine in the presence of flammable materials around the muffler.
Do not use generators that do not have a spark arrester installed in the silencer in forest, groves and grassy environments. The
spark arrestor must be maintained by the user for effective operation.
Do not touch the hot muffler, cylinder or cooling fins as this will cause burns.
Do not operate the engine without the air cleaner, air cleaner cover and/or carburetor air intake cover (on Sno/Gard engines).
1.3. ATTENTION! DO THE FOLLOWINGS:
To prevent accidental starting, disconnect the spark plug wire when servicing the generator. If your generator is a system with
accumulator (E and TE series generators), remove the negative (minus) terminal of the accumulator.
If your generator is accumulator started, do not neglect accumulator maintenance and cleaning. Keep the accumulator away
from sparks, especially during charging. Accumulator acid is corrosive. It is especially dangerous for the skin and eyes.
When repairing the electrical circuit is required, first disconnect the cables connected to the battery terminals.
Clean the cylinder cooling fins and speed governor parts as they can affect engine speed.
