DA7000 SERIES GENERATORS—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Starting
1. Open the cabinet door and turn the fuel cock lever
(Figure 15) to the “ON” position.
Figure 15. Fuel Cock Lever (ON)
2. Always operate the generator with the doors closed
(Figure 16). Operation with the doors open may cause
insufficient cooling of the unit, and engine damage may
result.
4. Turn the ignition key to the HEAT position. When the
preheat light goes off, turn the key to the ”START” position
to start the engine. As soon as the engine starts, release
the key. The key will automatically return to the “RUN”
position.
5. During winter or when the surrounding air temperature is
cold, in situations where a load start is required, turn
the key to the “HEAT” position, you must wait until the
preheat light goes off.
6. If the engine does not start within 10 seconds after the
key is turned to the “START” position, wait for about 30
seconds and repeat the procedure as described in step
4. above.
7. When the engine starts, the oil pressure light and charge
light should go out. If these lights stay on, immediately
stop the engine and check the system and wiring (refer
to the Engine Operation Manual).
8. Let the engine idle for five minutes with the Automatic
Idle Control switch in the “ON” position.
9. Check the engine for abnormal vibrations, noises and
oil leakage.
10. Check the generator's output voltage by referring to the
AC voltmeter on the control panel. If the meter indicates
120 volts, then 120 VAC can be obtained from the 120 V
and 240V receptacles at the same time.
11. Turn the
Automatic Idle Control Switch
to either “OFF”
or “ON” for full engine operation.
Normal Shutdown
1. Remove the load from the generator, then place both
the main and GFCI circuit breakers to the OFF position.
2. Listen for the engine speed to drop. Run at low speed
for 3-5 minutes.
3. Place the starter switch key in “STOP” position and
remove the key. Place fuel cock lever in the “OFF”
position.
Emergency Shutdown
1. Place starter switch key in “STOP” position. Remove
key. Place fuel cock lever in the “OFF” position.
3. Insert the key into the starter switch (Figure 17) and
turn it to the “RUN” position. Check to see that the oil
pressure and charge Lights on the "Warning Lamp Unit
Display " are lit. If either light is not lit, check the system
and wiring (refer to the Engine Operation Manual).
