WARNING
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY!
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless gas.
Carbon monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include:
•
Dizziness
•
Throbbing in Temples
•
Nausea
•
Muscular Twitching
•
Headache
•
Vomiting
•
Weakness and Sleepiness
•
Inability to Think Coherently
IF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, GET
OUT INTO THE FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. If symptoms persist, seek medi-
cal attention. Shut down the unit and do not operate until it has been in-
spected and repaired.
Never sleep in the vehicle with the genset running unless the vehicle interior
is equipped with an operating carbon monoxide detector. Protection against
carbon monoxide inhalation also includes proper exhaust system installa-
tion and visual and audible inspection of the complete exhaust system at the
start of each genset operation.

GENERAL
After the genset has been serviced and reinstalled
in the vehicle, inspect the installation and test the
genset to confirm that the genset will operate prop-
erly and produce its full rated load capacity. Check
each of the following areas before putting the gen-
set into service.
MOUNTING
Examine all mounting bolts and supporting mem-
bers to verify that the genset is properly mounted.
All fasteners should be tightened securely, to pre-
vent them from working loose when subjected to
vibration.
LUBRICATION
If the engine oil was drained, fill the crankcase with
oil of the recommended classification and viscosity.
Refer to the appropriate operator’s manual for the
specific recommendations and procedures.
WIRING
Verify that all wiring connections are tight and
installed properly. Make certain that wires do not
run over hot, sharp or rough surfaces and are not
kinked or worn. Check each of these connections:
•
Load wires
• Control wires
• Ground strap
• Battery cables
INITIAL START ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION
Voltage/frequency-sensitive equip-
ment such as VCRs, televisions, computers,
etc. can be damaged by power line frequency
variations. Some solid-state devices are pow-
ered whenever connected to an AC outlet even
if the device is not in actual operation. For this
reason, disconnect all devices that are voltage-
or frequency-sensitive before attempting any
carburetor/governor adjustments. If discon-
necting the devices is not possible, open the
circuit breaker(s) at the distribution panel or at
the genset.
