`Safety Precautions
`MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL
`INJURY OR DEATH
`Before operating the generator set, read the Owner’s Manual and
`
`become familiar with it and your equipment. Safe and efficient
`•
`operation can be achieved only if the equipment is properly operated
`and maintained. Many accidents are caused by failure to follow
`fundamental rules and precautions.
`
`The following symbols found throughout this manual, alert you to
`potentially dangerous conditions to the operator, service personnel or
`the equipment.
`
`
`•
`•
`
`Before performing any maintenance on the generator set,
`disconnect the spark plug wire (and the starting battery
`negative cable on electric start models) to prevent accidental
`starting.
`Keep hands away from moving parts
`Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry while servicing any
`part of the generator set. Loose clothing and jewelry can
`become caught in moving parts. Jewelry can short out
`electrical contacts and cause shock or burning.
`• Make sure that fasteners on the generator set are secure.
`Tighten supports and clamps, keep guards in position over
`fans, drive belts and heat shields, etc.
`If adjustment must be made while the generator set is
`running, use extreme caution around hot manifolds and
`moving parts, etc.
`
`ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL
`INJURY OR DEATH
`
`•
`
`•
`
`Disconnect starting battery before removing protective
`shields or touching electrical equipment. Use rubber
`insulated mats placed on dry wood platforms over floors that
`are metal or concrete when around electrical equipment. Do
`not wear wet damp clothing (particularly wet shoes) or allow
`skin surfaces
`to be damp when handling electrical
`equipment.
`Use extreme caution when working on electrical
`components. High voltages can cause injury or death. DO
`NOT tamper with interlocks.
`Follow all applicable state and local electrical codes. Have
`all electrical installations performed by a qualified licensed
`electrician. Tag open switches to avoid accidental closure.
`DO NOT CONNECT GENERATOR SET DIRECTLY TO
`ANY BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
` Hazardous
`voltages can flow from the generator set into the utility line.
`This creates a potential
`for electrocution or property
`damage. Connect only through an approved device and
`after building main switch is open. The National Electrical
`Code and Canadian Standards Association require an
`approved switch device between the generator set and the
`utility power. Consult a licensed electrician in regard to
`emergency power use.
`DO NOT use the generator set in rain, snow, sleet or wet
`ground conditions.

`
`DO NOT fill fuel tanks with the engine running. Fuel contact
`with the engine or exhaust is a potential fire hazard. Let the
`engine cool down before removing gas cap.
`DO NOT SMOKE OR ALLOW AN OPEN FLAME near the
`generator set or fuel tank.
`DO NOT store or transport the generator wet without first
`removing the fuel from the tank.
`DO NOT SMOKE while servicing batteries. Lead acid
`batteries emit a highly explosive hydrogen gas that can be
`ignited by electrical arcing or by smoking.
`•
`DO NOT mix lubricating oil with gasoline.
`• When refueling always wait until the unit has cooled down
`before opening/removing the fuel cap.
`
`EXHAUST GASES ARE DEADLY
`•
`Engine exhaust contains CARBON MONOXIDE, a
`dangerous, invisible gas that you cannot smell that is
`potentially lethal. Avoid carbon monoxide inhalation by
`operating the generator set outdoors where exhaust gases
`can be discharged directly into the open air. Use a battery-
`powered carbon monoxide detector when running generator.
`Do not operate the generator set in any type of enclosure
`that could allow exhaust gases to accumulate such as inside
`garages, crawl spaces or inside vehicles of any type. Using
`a fan and opening doors or windows does NOT provide
`enough fresh air. Direct exhaust gas away from areas
`where people are gathered and away from building or
`enclosures. If you start to feel sick, dizzy or weak while
`using generator, shut it off and get fresh air immediately.
`See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
`• Do not operate
`the generator set
`in an enclosed
`compartment such as found in recreational vehicles or
`enclosed trucks (even with the tail gate open). All warranties
`are voided if the unit is operated in an enclosed area.
`Operate only in well-ventilated area.

`After the engine operates properly, it is strongly recommended to
`
`ALWAYS have an electrical load of at LEAST 25% of the nameplate
`FUEL AND FILLING FUEL
`rating on the generator when operating the unit. Operating the engine
`without an electrical load for prolonged periods of time (one hour or

`OIL FILLING FOR DIESELS
`Fill the oil sump with lubricating oil with 15W30 multigrade for warm
`weather and 5W30 for cold weather. Oil capacity for the LR50/60EL
`models with the 15LD400 engine is 1.26 quarts and for the LR130EL
`with the 25LD425 engine is 1.9 quarts (without filter). Check the
`dipstick each time fuel is added to maintain the proper levels of
`lubricating oil. IMPORTANT Do not overfill with oil or damage will
`occur
`to
`the engine.
` Maintain
`the oil
`level within
`the
`minimum/maximum lines of the dipstick. Engines overfilled MUST be
`drained until the oil level is at the above noted levels.
`
`LOW OIL SHUT DOWN
`All contractor diesel welder/generators and three phase and some
`medium duty units are equipped with either low oil volume or low oil
`pressure shut down systems. Insufficient oil volume or pressure will
`cause the engine to stop. See engine manual for complete details.
`
`BREAK IN PROCEDURE
`Controlled break in with the proper grade of lubricating oil helps to
`ensure satisfactory service from the generator set. During the first 2-3
`hours of operation, do not apply heavy electrical loads to the
`generator. Oil should be changed after the first 3 hours of operation.
`The oil changes should then be scheduled at the recommended times
`shown in the engine manual. Two cylinder air cooled diesel powered
`units MUST be run with at least 25% load at all times or damage to the
`engine may occur. Oil should be drained when the engine is still
`slightly warm.
`
`For units operating on liquid propane L/P or natural gas N/G, see
`addendum instruction sheets for proper installation and operation.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`CAUTION
`
`!
`
`
`To start the engine:
`1. Disconnect all loads to start the engine.
`2. Fully open the fuel valve if the engine is so equipped. The
`valve is located under the unit-mounted fuel tank of the
`engine or under the fuel tank on all LR units.
`3. Adjust the carburetor choke as necessary for temperature
`conditions. Cold starting requires a full choke. L/P and N/G
`fueled engines do not require a choke. There is no choke on
`all diesel powered generator sets.
`4. The engine may be equipped with a rope recoil starter or
`electric starter. Start the engine by referring to the
`paragraph in the engine manual for the applicable starter.
`
`STARTING ELECTRIC START DIESELS WITHOUT A
`BATTERY
`The models LR50EL and LR60EL are electric start models with
`auxiliary recoil starters. If a battery is not available, the red or black
`lever near the fuel pump MUST be in the up position to start and to
`stop the engine turn the red or black lever to the down position.
`Without a battery, the key start/stop switch will NOT stop the engine
`and you MUST use the red or black lever. When using the electric
`start switch to start and stop the engine and a 12 volt battery is
`installed, the red or black lever MUST be in the down position at all
`times.
`
`INITIAL STARTING OR UNIT RUN OUT OF FUEL ON
`DIESELS ONLY
`Air pockets in the fuel line will cause difficulty in engine starting and
`normal operation when fueling the unit for the first time or the unit is
`run out of fuel. It is strongly recommended to manually pump the
`pump lever 20 plus times before starting to release the air pockets.
`Models LR50EL and LR60EL have clear fuel filters and air pockets can
`be visually observed. Even one air bubble will cause erratic engine
`operation. ALL air pockets must be pumped out to operate properly.
`The model LR130EL has a solid metal fuel filter and air pockets cannot
`be observed in this model. Always avoid running a diesel out of fuel or
`near the bottom of the fuel tank as air pockets may be induced causing
`erratic operation of the engine. Once all diesels have been initially
`started and the engine runs smoothly, there is no need to bleed out air
`pockets in future starting of the unit.
