Preface This manual will instruct you in the proper operation and service of your diesel generator. Please read this manual prior to using the generatore to ensure safe and proper operation. At all times, follow the instructions to keep the generator in the best working condition and to extend its life. Should you have any comments or problems, please visit your nearest Steele® location or call 1-888-896-6881.
Warning: 1. Preventthe threat of fire o Never add fuel while the engine is running, o Wipe off any spilled fuel with a clean cloth before starting, o Keep all explosive and flammable o Maintain adequate on all sides ventilation of the items safely away from the generator. with at least three feet of clear space generator from buildings and other pieces of equipment. o NEVER operate this unit in a closed room or garage. 2.
o Note: This generator is not waterproof and therefore should not be placed in rain, snow, standing water or any area where there could be water spray. Operating a unit in these environments may cause electrical short circuits that can cause electrical shocks. o This generator should from faulty appliances. also be grounded to prevent electrical shocks To ground this unit, simply connect a length of heavy copper wire between the unit and a ground source.
ADANGER CARBON MONOXIDE Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell• tf you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even If you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO. • NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawtspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.

3. Before Starting 3.1 Selection Your Generator and handling of diesel fuel • Only use light diesel fuel • Keep dust and water out of the fuel. Failure to do so will create problems with the injection pump and nozzles. • Do not overfill the tank beyond the red plug inside the fuel oil filter. Doing so can be very dangerous. Warning: • • Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off.
• Oil Selection it is very important that you seiect the prope_ engine oi_ to maintain the life and performance of your generator, engine oil is not replaced if inferior or the wrong weight oil is used, or if your periodically, there is a risk of major damage to your engine due to overheating. Choose the applicable viscosity according to your local temperature.

When the "low oil" oil level first to make certain that there is adequate oil in the reservoir. Do not adjust either the engine governor bolt that controls engine speed or the fuel injection performance 5.2 bolt that controls fuel mix. Doing so will affect the overall of your generator.
• When thedualvoltage generator exceeds orisbelow these levels, thenthe circuit breaker should beinthe"OFF" position. Ifnotboth thegenerator andthe devices powered byitcanbedamaged. • Always connect devices tothegenerator withthehighest demand device firstandthenthe lesserdemand devices afterward. If theoperation becomes overloaded, thegenerator engine willlagorstopsuddenly. Ifthis happens, unplug alldevices immediately, turnoffthemainswitch onthe generator andcheck allsystems.
Cauti on • Identify and connect positive-to-positive the battery to the engine, Crossing and the electrical components and negative-to-negative poles from, the wires will destroy both the battery of your generator, • If you attempt to use a larger battery than recommended you will create excessive current that will blow the fuse in the generator, • Do not attempt to operate the generator while it is still connected to the battery, • Do not use a 12V DC and AC current at the same time, Caution
