In o
rder to operate the generator set safely, please follow all the instructions provided
in t
his manual carefully. Doing so otherwise may lead to accidents and or equipment
damage.
2-1.1 Fire prevention
T
he p
roper fuel for the diesel generator set is light diesel fuel. Do not use gasoline,
kerosene a
nd or other fuels other than light diesel fuel. Keep all flammable fuels
away f
rom the generator as the generator may spark and ignite these gases. In order
to p
revent fires from occurring and to provide enough ventilation for people and the
machine, ke
ep the diesel generator at least 1.5 meters away from buildings and or
other e
quipment. Always operate your diesel generator on a level site. If the
genera
tor is operated on an incline, the lubricating system within the engine will not
perform well and may lead to failure of the engine.
2-1.2 Prevention from inhaling exhaust gases
Never in
hale exhaust gases emitted by the engine. The exhaust gases contain toxic
carbon mo
noxide. Never operate your generator in places with poor ventilation. In
order to o
perate this machinery indoors, a suitable ventilation system for the building
is required to draw the poisonous exhaust gases out.
2-1.3 Prevention from accidental burns
Never touch the muffler and its cover when the diesel engine is running. Never touch
t
he m
uffler and cover after the diesel engine has been used, as the muffler remains hot
