during operation, the SPILL CONTAINMENT overflow warning indicator illuminates, and the
engine will be automatically stopped. If this occurs, flush the liquid stored in the spill
containment.
(Refer to section “10. Inspection/Maintenance (9) Flushing Liquid in Spill Containment”.)
< Note >
Water can also accumulate in the spill containment due to rain entering intothegenerator.
Accordingly, you shouldperiodicallyflush liquidaccumulatedwithin thegenerator. However, you
should flushwater according to the frequency/amount of rainfall.
The typesof liquidsthat canaccumulateinthe spill containment includeoil, fuel, coolant and
batteryfluidsuchthat itisnotpossible todistinguishbetweenrainwater andotherliquids. Dispose
of flushedliquids accordingtothe applicablelaws andregulations.
5-3. Warning Indicators
This generator is equipped with the following warning indicators: BATTERY (insufficient
charging), OIL PRESS (engine oil pressure), WATER TEMP (coolant temperature), OVER
SPEED (engine overspeed) and SPILL CONTAINMENT (spill containment amount). When the
engine starts, all the lamps will light off. Moving the starter switch from STOP to START causes
the BATTERY and OIL PRESS warning indicator to illuminate, and all of the indicator lights will
go off as the engine starts. An indicator illuminates if a malfunction/fault occurs during
operation and the engine automatically stops depending on the fault type (except for SPILL
CONTAINMENT).
If the generator automatically stops, move the starter switch to STOP and restart the engine.
Then check the lightning state of each warning indicator at the time of automatic stop, and
inspect the abnormal part.
WARNING : INJURY

7. Load Connections
7-1. Load Cable Selection
CAUTION : PROPERTY DAMAGE
Cable burnout could occur due to generated heat if the load current exceeds
the allowable current of the cable.
The voltage drop between cables is large if the cable is excessively long or
thin, resulting in decreased input voltage to equipment using the generator,
thereby causing decreased performance, faulty operation and malfunction.
