Stopping Theengine; Low Oil Pressureshutdown System; Restarting; Maintenance - Generac XG4000 Serie El Manual Del Propietario

NOTE:
The engine switchmustbe in the ON position.
* Tostart manually,firmly grasp the recoil handleand pull slowly
until increased resistance is felt. Pull rapidly up and away to
start engine. Then follow the same choke sequence listed
above.
* When the engine starts, slide choke knob to "1/2 Choke"
position until the engine runs smoothly and then fully in to the
"Run" position. If enginefalters, slide choke knob back out to
"1/2 Choke" position until the engine runs smoothly and then
to "Run" position.
NOTE:
If engine fires, but doesnot continueto run, pull chokeknob to
"Full Choke" and repeatstartinginstructions.
A, CAUTION!
,_Do not overload the generator. Also, do
not overload individual panel receptacles.
These outlets are protected against overload
with push=to=reset=type circuit breakers, if
amperage rating of any circuit breaker is
exceeded, that breaker opens and electrical
output to that receptacle is lost. Read "Don't
Overload the Generator" carefully.
2.10 STOPPING THEENGINE
1. Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from
generator panel receptacles. Never start or stop the engine
with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilizethe
internaltemperaturesof engine and generator.
3. Move Run/Stopswitch to "Off" position.
4. Close fuel valve.
2.11LOW 01LPRESSURE SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
The engine is equippedwith a low oil pressure sensor that shuts
down the engine automaticallywhen the oil pressure drops below
5 psi. A delay built into the low oil shutdown system allows oil
pressure to build during starting. The delay allows the engine to
run for about 10 secondsbeforesensing oil pressure.If the engine
shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline,check
engine oil level.
2.1 I. IRESTARTING
If trying to restart the engine within 10 seconds after a low oil
pressureshut down, the engine may NOTstart. Thesystem needs
5 to 10 seconds to reset.
If the engine is restarted after such a shutdown and the low oil
pressure has not been corrected (i.e. adding oil), the engine will
run for about 10 seconds as describedabove and then stop.
3.1 PEBFOBIVlING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
It is important to perform service as specified in the Maintenance
Schedulefor proper generatoroperation, and to ensure that the
generatorcomplieswith the applicableemission standardsfor the
durationof its useful life. Serviceand repairsmay be performed by
any capable person or repair shop. Additionally,emissions critical
maintenance must be performed as scheduled in order for the
Emissions Warranty to be valid. Emissions critical maintenance
consists of servicing the air filter and spark plugs in accordance
with the MaintenanceSchedule.
3.2 MAINTENANCE S CHEDULE
Follow the calendar intervals. More frequent service is required
when operatingin adverseconditions noted below.
CheckOilLevel At EachUse
Change Oil andOil Filters *EverySeason/Every 100 Hours
CleanSpark Arrestor Screen Every Season/Every 100 Hours
Service Air Filter **EverySeason/Every 200 Hours
Replace SparkPlug Every Season/Every 200 Hours
:i: Changeoil after first 30 hours of operation then every season.
* Changeoil and oil filter every monthwhen operating under heavyload or in high
temperatures.
** Clean more often under dirty or dusty operating conditions. Replace air filter
parts if very dirty.
