Chapter 1 BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Danger of fire and explosion
WARNING
Keep flames away
Never use fire around the generator
set. Fuel vapor or other gas can catch
fire and produce dangerous situa-
tions.
Wipe off spilled fuel, oil and LLC
immediately and thoroughly. Spilled fuel, oil and LLC
may ignite and cause a fire.
Store engine oil in a well ventilated area. Make sure
that the cap of container is tightly closed.
Keep generator set surround-
ing area tidy and clean
Never place any dangerous articles such as flamma-
ble substances including fuel, engine oil or LLC and
gunpowder, etc. in the surrounding of the generator
set. Such substances can cause fire or explosion.
Remove dust, dirt and other foreign materials accu-
mulated on and around the generator set. Such mate-
rials can cause fire or the engine to overheat. In
particular, clean the top surface of the battery thor-
oughly. Dust can cause a short-circuit.
The generator set must be used at least 1 m [3.3 ft.]
away from buildings and other equipment to prevent
possible fire caused by engine heat.
Avoid accessing crankcase
until engine cools
Do not attempt to open the side cover of the crank-
case before the engine cools down. Wait at least 10
minutes after stopping the engine.
Opening the cover when the engine is hot allows fresh
air to flow into the crankcase, which can cause oil mist
to ignite and explode.
Care for fuel, oil and exhaust
gas leakage
If any fuel, oil or exhaust gas leakage is found, imme-
diately take corrective measures to stop it.
Such leakages, if left uncorrected, can cause fuel or
engine oil to reach hot engine surfaces or hot exhaust
gas to contact flammable materials, possibly leading
to personal injury and/or damage to equipment.
Use explosion-proof lighting
apparatus
When inspecting fuel, engine oil, coolant, battery elec-
trolyte, etc., use a flameproof light. An ordinary light-
ing apparatus may ignite gas and cause it to explode.
Prevent electrical wires from
short-circuiting
Avoid inspecting or servicing the electrical system with
the ground cable connected to the battery. Otherwise,
a fire could result from short-circuiting. Be sure to dis-
connect the battery cable from the negative (-) termi-
nal before beginning with the work procedure.
Short-circuits, possibly resulting in fire, may be
caused by a loose terminal or damaged cable/wire.
Inspect the terminals, cables and wires, and repair or
replace the faulty parts before beginning with the ser-
vice procedure.
Keep fire extinguishers and a
first-aid kit handy
Keep fire extinguishers handy, and
become familiar with their usage.
Keep a first-aid kit at the designated
place where it is easily accessible by
anyone at any time.
Establish response procedures to follow in the event
of fire or accident. Provide an emergency evacuation
route and contact points and means of communication
in case of emergency.

Chapter 1 BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Danger of falling
WARNING
Lift the generator set carefully
To lift the engine, use slings capable
of supporting the weight of the
engine.
Also, attach the wire rope to the lifting
hangers provided on/under the gener-
ator set using a correct sling.
During lifting process, keep the generator set in a well-
balanced position by taking the center of gravity of the
generator set into consideration.
Keep the angle formed by slings attached to hangers
within 60 degrees.
If the angle exceeds this limit, excessive load could be
imposed on the hangers and this could damage the
hangers and result in a serious accident.
If the wire rope contacts the generator set directly,
place a cloth or other soft padding to avoid damage to
the generator set and wire rope.
Do not climb onto the generator
set
Do not climb onto the generator set, nor step on any
generator set parts located on the lateral sides.
To work on parts located on the upper section of gen-
erator set, use a ladder, stool, etc., that was firmly
secured.
Climbing on the generator set may not only damage
generator set parts but also cause parts to fall off and
Always prepare stable scaffold
Use a stable work platform to stand
on when working on the upper part of
the engine and other hard-to-reach
places.
Standing on a decrepit stool or parts
box may result in personal injury.
Do not place any unnecessary objects on a work plat-
form.
Do not enter under the genera-
tor set being lifted up
Do not allow anyone to stand under the generator set
being lifted up. An accidental fall of generator set may,
in the worst case, result in death. Do not stand under
the crane or in the way where it may move around.
Handle the lifting device carefully. Also, do not use a
twisted or worn wire rope to lift the generator set, as it
could lead to breaking a wire rope. When handling the
wire rope be sure to wear protective gloves. Do not

Precautions before start-
ing operation
WARNING
Be sure to turn off (open) the
circuit breaker before starting
the operation
Before operating the generator set, check the circuit
breaker. If the circuit breaker stays on (closed) when
the generator set is started and if the operator acci-
dentally touches the output terminal, an electric shock
may result. Or the electric devices will suddenly start
operation which could result in a personal injury.
Chapter 1 BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Be careful when handling
fuel, engine oil or LLC
CAUTION
Use only specified fuel, engine
oil and long-life coolant (LLC)
Use fuel, oil and LLC specified in this manual, and
handle them carefully.
Use of any other fuel, oil or LLC, or improper handling
may cause various engine problems and malfunc-
tions.
Obtain the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) issued
by the fuel, oil and LLC suppliers, and follow the direc-
tions in the MSDSs for proper handling.
Handle LLC (long life coolant)
carefully
When handling LLC, always wear rubber gloves and a
protective face mask. If LLC or cooling water contain-
ing LLC comes into contact with your skin or eyes, or if
it is swallowed, you would suffer from inflammation,
irritation or poisoning.
Should LLC be accidentally swallowed, induce vomit-
ing immediately and seek medical attention. Should
LLC enter your eyes, flush them immediately with
plenty of water and seek medical attention. If LLC
splashes onto your skin or clothing, wash it away
immediately with plenty of water.
Keep flames away from LLC. The LLC can catch
flames, causing a fire.
Proper disposal of waste oil
and coolant (LLC)
Do not discharge waste engine oil or coolant into sew-
erage, river, lake or other similar places. Such a way
of disposal is strictly prohibited by laws and regula-
tions.
Disposal of waste oil, coolant and other environmen-
tally hazardous waste in accordance with the applica-
ble law and regulations, or consult Mitsubishi dealer.
1-5
Chapter 1 BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Dangers of burn injuries
CAUTION
Do not touch the engine during
or immediately after operation
To avoid burns, do not touch the
engine during or immediately after
operation.
A hot engine can cause burns.
To conduct maintenance and inspection work, wait
until the engine has cooled sufficiently by checking the
temperature gauge.
Be careful in handling the cap
of fresh water tank
Never remove the cap of fresh water tank during oper-
ation and immediately after stopping. When opening
the cap, stop the engine and allow the coolant temper-
ature to lower sufficiently.
When removing the cap of fresh water tank, open the
cap slowly to release inner pressure. Also to avoid a
risk of getting scalded by steam, wear thick rubber
gloves or wrap a cloth around the cap.
When closing the cap, be sure to tighten securely.
The engine coolant is hot during engine operation and
immediately after operation. If the radiator filler cap is
opened when the coolant is at operating temperature,
steam and hot coolant may blow out and result in
burns.
Add coolant only after the cool-
ant temperature dropped
Do not add coolant immediately after the engine
stops. Wait until the coolant temperature lowers suffi-
ciently to avoid a risk of burns.
Never remove heat shields
The exhaust system, which becomes extremely hot
while the engine is operating, is provided with various
heat shields. Do not remove these heat shields. If any
of these heat shields have been removed owing to
unavoidable circumstances during the work, be sure
to restore them after the work is completed.
Be careful of burns when
changing oil
Wear gloves when draining oil or changing oil filters. If
hot oil or parts touch your skin, it may cause burns.
1-6
If any anomaly occurs
CAUTION
Do not add coolant immediately
after a sudden stop due to over-
heating
If the engine stops suddenly or if you have no choice
but stop the engine suddenly due to overheating, do
not add coolant immediately.
Adding water while the engine is hot can damage
parts such as cylinder heads due to a sudden drop of
temperature. Add coolant gradually after the engine
has completely cooled.
Avoid immediate restart after
abnormal stop
If the engine stops abnormally, do not restart the
engine immediately. If the engine stops with an alarm,
check and remedy the cause of the problem before
restarting. Sustained use of the engine without any
remedy could result in serious engine problems.
Avoid continuous generator
operation at low oil pressure
If an abnormal engine oil pressure drop is indicated,
stop the generator immediately, and inspect the lubri-
cation system to locate the cause. Continuous engine
operation with low oil pressure could cause bearings
and other parts to seize.
If V-belt breaks, stop engine
immediately
If the V-belt breaks, stop the generator set immedi-
ately. Continuous engine operation with the broken
fan belt could cause the engine to overheat and
thereby the coolant to boil into steam, which may gush
out from the reserve tank or water tank, and cause
personal injuries.

sparks in the vicinity could cause an explosion.
ŒDo not use the battery the fluid level of which is low-
ered below the lower limit line. Sustained use of the
battery could result in an explosion.
ŒDo not short the battery terminals with a tool or other
metal object.
ŒWhen disconnecting battery cables, always remove
the cable from the negative (-) terminal first. When re-
connecting cables, attach the cable to the positive (+)
terminal first.
ŒCharge the battery in a well-ventilated area, with all
filling hole plugs removed.
ŒMake sure the cable clamps are securely installed on
the battery terminals. A loose cable clamp can cause
sparks that may result in an explosion.
ŒBefore servicing electrical components or conducting
electric welding, set the battery switch to the [Open/
OFF] position or disconnect the cable from the nega-
tive (-) battery terminal to cut off the electrical current.
ŒElectrolyte (battery fluid) contains dilute sulfuric acid.
Careless handling of the battery can lead to the loss
of sight and/or skin burns. Also, keep the battery fluid
off the mouth.
ŒWear protective goggles and rubber gloves when
working with the battery (when adding water, charg-
ing, etc.)
ŒIf electrolyte is spilled onto the skin or clothing, imme-
diately wash it away with lots of water. Use soap to
thoroughly clean.
ŒThe battery fluid can cause blindness if splashing into
the eyes. If it gets into the eyes, immediately flush it
away with plenty of clean fresh water, and seek imme-
diate medical attention.
ŒIf the battery fluid is accidentally swallowed, gargle
with plenty of water, then drink lots of water, and seek
immediate medical attention.

cause various generator set problems, damage to
parts, and serious accidents.
Break-in the engine
To break in new generator set or overhauled engines,
operate the engine at a speed lower than the rated
speed in a light load condition during the first 50 hours
of operation.
Operating new generator set or overhauled engines in
a severe condition during the break-in period shortens
the service life of the engine.

Warm up the engine before use
When starting auxiliary devices such as water heater
and engine oil priming pump is not installed, let the
engine idle for 5 to 10 minutes before operating the
engine for work.
Warm-up operation circulates lubricants in the engine
and contributes to a longer service life and economi-
cal operation.
Do not conduct warm-up operation for prolonged
period of time. Prolonged warm-up operation causes
carbon build-up in the cylinders that leads to incom-
plete combustion.
Do not operate engine continu-
ously under low load
When operating the engine with a 30 % of rated load
or lower, limit each operation to 10 minutes. Operating
the generator set at low load tends to result in
unburned fuel, which can adhere on internal generator
set parts, and cause malfunctions and shorten the
generator set service life.
Never operate the engine in an
overloaded condition
If the engine shows an overloaded condition such as
black exhaust smoke, reduce the load immediately to
operate the engine at an appropriate output and load.
Overloading causes not only high fuel consumption
but also excessive carbon deposits inside the engine.
Carbon deposits cause various problems and will
shorten the service life of the engine.
Conduct cooling operation
before stopping the engine
Before stopping the generator set, let it idle at low
speed for 5 to 6 minutes to cool down.
Stopping the generator set immediately after high-
load operation will cause generator set parts to heat
up and shorten the service life of the generator set.
During cooling operation, check the generator set for
abnormalities.
Chapter 1 BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Protection of the generator set
against water entry
Do not allow rainwater, etc. to enter the generator set
through the air inlet or exhaust openings.
Do not wash the generator set while it is operating.
Cleaning fluid (water) can be sucked into the engine.
Starting the generator set with water inside the com-
bustion chambers can cause the water hammer action
which may result in internal engine damage and seri-
ous accidents.
Properly maintain the air
cleaner and pre-cleaner
The major cause of abnormal wear on engine parts is
dust from intake air. Worn parts produce many prob-
lems such as an increase of oil consumption,
decrease of output, and starting difficulties. For effec-
tive removal of dust from intake air, maintain the air
cleaner or pre-cleaner according to the following
instructions.
ŒDo not conduct maintenance of the air cleaner or pre-
cleaner while the generator set is in operation. Oper-
ating the engine without the air cleaner can suck par-
ticles of foreign matter into the engine and could result
in serious accidents.
ŒWhen removing the use care to prevent dust trapped
in the air cleaner from entering the engine. After re-
moving the air cleaner or pre-cleaner, immediately
cover the opening (inlet port of air cleaner; port in
body for pre-cleaner) with plastic sheet or similar
means to prevent dust from entering the engine.
ŒIf the engine is equipped with a dust indicator, con-
duct maintenance only when the clog warning sign
appears.
Use of tools optimum for each
work
Always keep in mind to select most appropriate tools
for the work to be performed and use them correctly. If
tools are damaged, replace them with new tools.
1-9
Chapter 1 BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate the starter for a
prolonged time
Do not use the starter for more than 10 seconds at a
time. If the engine does not start, wait for at least 30
seconds before cranking again.
Continuous operation of the starter will drain the bat-
tery power and cause seizing of the starter.
Do not turn off the battery
switch during operation
Do not turn off the battery switch during operation.
If the battery switch is turned OFF when the engine is
running, not only various meters will stop working but
also the alternator may have its diode and transistor
deteriorated.
Cautionary instructions for
transporting the engine
When transporting the generator set on a truck, con-
sider the weight of the generator set, width and height
to ensure safety. Abide by road traffic law, road vehi-
cles act, vehicle restriction ordinance and other perti-
nent laws.
1-10
Ventilation of engine room
Always provide adequate ventilation in the engine
room. Insufficient air in the room can cause an
increase in the engine temperature and a decrease in
the output power and performance. It is highly recom-
mended to calculate the required amount of air supply
to the generator set and install an adequate ventilation
system before installing the generator set.
Do not touch high-pressure
injection fuel
If fuel leaks or sprays out from the high pressure injec-
tion pipe, do not touch the fuel.
Fuel in the fuel injection pipes is under high pressure
and if the fuel contact your skin, it goes into deep tis-
sues and may result gangrene.
 Chapter 1 BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Warning labels
CAUTION

Maintenance of warning labels

Make sure all warning/caution labels are legible.
Clean or replace the warning/caution labels when the description and/or illustration are not clear to read.
For cleaning the warning/caution labels, use a cloth, water and soap. Do not use cleaning solvents, gasoline or
other chemicals to prevent the letters from getting blurred or the adhesion from being weakened.
Replace damaged or fractured labels with new ones.
If any generator set part on which a warning label is attached is replaced with a new one, attach a new identical
warning label to the new part.
To obtain new warning labels, contact your local Mitsubishi dealer.

Electrical trip
If an electrical trip is activated, the generator will be controlled so as to stop itself automatically. In the electrical trip
condition, the module assumes the "Load shift" output as not exciting, and removes the load from the generator. If
this condition occurs, the module starts the cooling timer, and removes the load to cool down the engine before the
engine stops. If this happens, verify the warning before canceling it, and remove the possible causes to reset the
module.
Table 2-6 Electrical trip
Condition Description
Electrical trip This will be displayed when a electrical trip is issued.

Special warning state

The microprocessor is provided with the monitor function. With this monitor function the module operation is always
monitored. As long as the microprocessor is functioning, if any error occurs, the warning will be displayed by the
flashing of the liquid crystal display (LCD) backlight together with the common warning LED being illuminated in red.
When the module has been set properly and if it fails to receive the correct information through the setting tool, the
"Monitor function" will stop the module and inform to the operator that the user setting data is corrupted by the flash-
ing of the liquid crystal display (LCD) backlight together with the common warning LED flashing in green. If the user
re-transmits the same setting, it will serve as to rectify the warning text. However, the problem concerned would not
be resolved if the cause is nothing but the transmission of the setting (for example, the broken cable).

External inspection
CAUTION
Check around the generator set, particularly around its hot part (exhaust manifold, etc.) and battery unit for any
accumulation of flammables, fuel leaks, and engine oil leaks, and so on. Wipe off dusts accumulated on the bat-
tery unit top surface with a cloth soaked in water before starting the generator set. Clean the top of battery with a
wet cloth before starting engine, as dust on the battery can easily ignite. If any abnormality is found, be sure to
repair it or contact your Mitsubishi dealer.
As for the external conditions of the generator set, check the following points.
Note: For the prestart inspection of the engine, refer to the engine operation manual.
1. Remove all the unnecessary tool, cans, and others which have been used for installing the generator set from the
operating area. Always keep the surroundings in proper order.
2. Make sure that any tools, wires, and other unnecessary materials are not left on and around the generator set.
3. Also make sure that any flammable materials are not left around the generator set and battery, and that the gen-
erator set or battery are kept free of dust. If combustible materials or dust are found near the engine or battery,
remove them.
4. Make sure the bolts and nuts are not loosened or omitted, and make sure that the electrical wirings of the starter
and alternator are not loosened, etc.
5. Make sure that the operating area is well-ventilated.
6. Make sure that no fuel leak, engine oil leak or cooling water leak is found on each part of the generator set. If leaks
are found, repair the leak, or contact your local Mitsubishi dealer.
7. Check for abnormal engine noises or vibrations such as knocking.
8. Check the color of exhaust gas from the exhaust muffler.
9. Make sure that the open/close condition of the valve and cock of each piping are normal.

Chapter 3 OPERATION

Starting
CAUTION
Before operating the generator set, make sure that the main circuit breaker (option) is off (open). If the generator
set is operated with the circuit breaker being on (closed), the operator may be subject to electric shocks. Make
sure there is no one in the vicinity of the generator set. Being near the generator set may result in electrical shock
or injury when the generator set is started.
In order to protect any person from being subject to electric shocks as the result of touching the output terminal, be
sure to cover the output terminal while the generator set is operating.

Auto mode operation

1. Set the key switch to "ACTIVE".
2. Set the controller to the auto mode.
Note: The mode setting operation is inactive, after setting to the auto mode, then set the key switch to "PANEL
LOCK".
3. Under this condition, the generator set can be started with the remote start signal inputted into the remote start
input.
4. The remote start operation indicator (if it is set) turns on.
5. In order to avoid the generator set from accidentally starting due to error signals, the start delay timer will automat-
ically be activated. After this delay time elapses and if the preheat output option has been selected, this timer will
be activated to impose a voltage onto the corresponding auxiliary output.
Note: If the remote start signal is lost (i.e. removed) while the start delay timer is active, the generator set will return
to the stand-by state.
6. When the given timer duration elapses, the stop solenoid will be energized to start the starter motor.
Note: Engine cranking will be performed within the preset time. When the engine is not started within this crank op-
eration time, the starter motor will be isolated to enter in the preset pause condition. This starting sequence is
repeated for the pre-set number, the "false" will be displayed on the LCD display.
7. When the engine is ignited, the starter motor is isolated and locked at the frequency set to the alternator output in
advance. Or, the pick up installed in the flywheel housing may detect the speed. (This switching is performed by
using the setting tool. Though the warning lamp output from the charging alternator can be used to isolate the start-
er motor, this cannot be used to display the low speed and the overspeed alarms.
8. When the starter motor is isolated, the safety ON timer will be active to prevent the stop signal from being issued
and make the generator set stable by admitting (i.e. taking into account) low oil pressure, high cooling water tem-
perature, low speed, defective charge signals and other delay signals and defective input signals.
9. After the engine has started, as long as the warm-up timer has been set, the engine will be warmed up to enter in
the stable conditions before commencing the operation under load.
10. When the remote start signal disappears, the stop delay timer will be activated. At this point of time the cooling
timer will be also activated to allow the generator set to operate under no load for being cooled before the engine
stops. When the cooling timer times-out, the stop solenoid will be de-energized to stop the generator.
11. If the remote start signal is inputted again during the cooling-down operation, the generator set will return to op-
eration under load.

 Chapter 3 OPERATION

Manual mode operation

Operate the generator according to the following procedure.
1. Set the key switch to "ACTIVE".
2. Set the controller to the manual mode.
3. To start the generator set, press the start button. This makes the preheat output (if it is set) rises to activate the
start delay timer.
4. When the given start delay time elapses, the stop solenoid will be energized to start the starter motor.
5. Engine cranking will be performed within the preset time. When the engine is not started within this crank operation
time, the starter motor will be isolated to enter in the preset pause condition. This starting sequence is repeated
for the pre-set number, the "false" will be displayed on the LCD display.
6. When the engine is ignited, the starter motor is isolated and locked at the frequency set to the alternator output in
advance. Or, the pick up installed in the flywheel housing may detect the speed. (This switching is performed by
using the setting tool. ) Though the warning lamp output from the charging alternator can be used to isolate the
starter motor, this cannot be used to display the low speed and the overspeed alarms.
7. When the starter motor is isolated, the safety ON timer will be active to prevent the stop signal from being issued
and make the generator set stable by admitting (i.e. taking into account) low oil pressure, high cooling water tem-
perature, low speed, defective charge signals and other delay signals and defective input signals.
8. After the engine has started, as long as the warm-up timer has been set, the engine will be warmed up to enter in
the stable conditions before commencing the operation under load.
9. The generator continues the no-load operation unless the remote start signal is inputted. When the load shift signal
has been set as the control source, an appropriate auxiliary output is chosen to commence the operation.
10. Even when the remote start signal disappears, the generator keeps operating under load as long as the selector
switch is not switched to Auto mode. When the stop delay timer times-out, the load will be isolated. Then the gen-
erator enters in the no-load operation for cooling down the engine.
11. Then, switch the selector to Stop/Reset, press the Emergency Stop switch or press the Stop button to make the
stop solenoid de-energized for stopping the generator.
