OPERATING THE GENERATOR24
ENGLISH
C Warm-up in cold ambient temperatures
In cold weather, the engine oil may be cold with increased
viscosity. This can delay oil circulation or abnormally low
oil pressure for some time after engine start-up. This can
result trouble in the lubrication circuit or damage to the
engine moving parts.
To prevent the above problems, perform the following
instructions:
Warm up the engine at rated revolution with no load.
11.Turn ON the circuit breaker on the
control panel.
[Dual voltage type]
[3 Phase type etc.]
12.Turn ON the electrical device switches
for the connections.
BCold Weather Starting
If the ambient temperature is below * -5 C (23 F) and the
engine is very cold, start it in the following manner:
Take steps (1) through (5) in "Starting the Engine"
section.
A If the ambient temperature is low, the preheating time
will take longer.
A Shown below are the standard preheating times for
various temperatures. This operation, however, is not
required, when the engine is warmed up.
(If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds, turn off the
key for 30 seconds. Then repeat steps (6) and (7) above.)
A Do not allow the starter motor to run continuously for
more than 10 seconds.
A Be sure to warm up the engine, not only in winter, but
also in warmer seasons. An insufficiently warmed-up
engine can shorten its service life.
A When there is possibility of temperature drops below
-15 C (5 F) detach the battery from the machine, and
keep it indoor in a safe area. Reinstalled the battery
before the next operation.

6. Turn the main switch (key) to the
"GLOW" position until the glow plug
indicator goes off.
7. Turn the key to "ST" ("START") position
and the engine should start.
