Do not touch wiring or any electronic parts inside equipment during operation.  
Ground the every earth grounding terminal to the earth as set out in the manual.  
If even one of all is unconnected by mistake or accident, it will be much more dangerous for human  
body than the NO RELAY case, because leaking current inevitably goes through the body.  
Even though all the earth terminals of the loads have been grounded to the earth,  
the earth grounding terminal and the outer bonnet (canopy) grounding terminal should be  
grounded to the earth.  
There is always a danger of being electrocuted by short-circuit. Be sure to test generator’s insulation  
resistance periodically.  
Before connecting or disconnecting a load cable to/from output terminals, always turn a circuit  
breaker to OFF position, stop the engine, and remove the engine key. A person performing the  
maintenance should always keep the key.  
Before performing any equipment check or maintenance, stop the engine, and remove the engine key.  
A person performing the maintenance should always keep the key.

7.3 Earth Leakage Relay and Grounding  
!
Danger  
:Electrical Shock  
Ground the every earth grounding terminal to the earth as set out in the manual.  
If even one no of all is unconnected by mistake or accident, it will be much more dangerous  
for human body than the –relay case, because leaking current inevitably goes through the  
body.  
Even though all the bonnets of the loads have been grounded to the earth, the earth grounding  
terminal and the outer bonnet (canopy) grounding terminal should be grounded to the earth.  
Grounding should be made after the engine is stopped.  
Whenever the earth leakage breaker relay is activated, you should always repair the leaking  
place first of all.  
The generator is provided with the earth leakage breaker relay to detect any leakage produced due to  
such the trouble as insulation failure of the load while the generator is running and to cut off the circuit  
for protection against any accident such as electrical shock resulting from the trouble.  
The specification of the earth leakage relay;  
Rated Sensitive Current: 30mA (or below) (Grounding resistance: 500or below)  
Sensitive time: Within 0.1second  
<Caution>  
Different sensitivity relay is available to change. But, in the case, consult with our engineering Section,  
because the value each of grounding resistance and grounding condenser will be different accordingly.  
In the event bigger value sensitive relay (100, 200, 500mA, etc.) than 30mA will be used in the device,  
they are too high in value to prevent from electrical shock. Therefore, install each load with the 30mA  
(or below) relay separately.  
The detailed information about sensitive current selection is prepared to give by the article No.151.2  
In Earth Leakage Breaker – Selection of The Wiring Regulations issued by Japan Electric Association.  
7.3.1 Grounding Work  
The qualified electrician should perform the grounding of the following 3 points (500or below).  
The earth neutral grounding terminal in the output terminal block  
The Outer Bonnet (Canopy) grounding terminal of the generator  
The Outer Bonnet of the load  
<Caution>  
In the event you cannot ground the generator to the earth, consult with  
the authorized distributor or our engineering section

7.3.2 Operation Check  
!
Danger  
: Electrical Shock  
Before turning the 3-Phase circuit breaker to ON  
Position, ensure that the breaker or the switch of  
loads are positioned to OFF.  
Operate the 3-Phase circuit breaker,  
well-communicating with The electrician by the  
load side.  
Before operating the generator, check always if the device can work.  
Ensure that the breakers and the switches of load(s) are positioned to OFF.  
Ensure that the 3-Phase circuit breaker and the 1-Phase circuit breaker are positioned to OFF.  
Following the procedure in 9-1 Initializing / Preparation , start an engine.  
Turn (Push-up) the 3-Phase circuit breaker (lever) to ON position.  
Push the test button (red) in the earth leakage relay unit. When the button is pushed, the earth  
leakage indicating lamp turns ON and the 3-Phase circuit breaker is positioned in the middle  
between ON and OFF positions simultaneously, the device works normally.  
Push the reset button. The earth leakage indicating lamp (red) turns OFF subsequently.  
Turn (Push-down) the 3-Phase circuit breaker (lever) to OFF position.  
In the event you cannot complete every step of the above procedure to the end, the device is out of order.  
Consult with our authorized distributor or our engineering section and ask to repair.  
7.3.3 The earth leakage breaker relay has activated  
In the event the earth leakage breaker relay has activated, the earth leakage indicating lamp Turns ON  
and the 3-Phase earth leakage breaker (lever) trips off to be positioned in the middle between ON and  
OFF positions.  
In the above condition, even though you stop the engine once and start it again, the 3-Phase Circuit  
breaker (lever) does not restore to ON or OFF, and the reset button does not function,  
because the device keeps detecting current leakage.  
Stop the engine promptly and find the leakage point to repair. After repairing the leakage point(s),  
proceed with the following restoration steps.  
(In the case the earth leakage indicating lamp does not turn to ON simultaneously, the cause is  
Over-Load or Short-Circuit.)

Repair the equipment before use.  
Check for the fuel level in the tank. Add if necessary.  
<Caution>  
Use Diesel fuel, ASTM D975 No.2-D in the  
event ambient temperature reaches down to -5 .  
Always use the Diesel fuel strainer  
Fill the fuel tank slightly less than the FULL tank  
Fuel requirements:  
NOTICE: The fuel injection pump, injector or other parts of the fuel system and  
engine can be damaged if you use any fuel or fuel additive other than those  
specifically recommended by Isuzu.  
Such damage is not our responsibility, and is not covered by the Warranty. To help avoid  
fuel system or engine damage, please heed the following:  
Some service stations mix used engine oil with diesel fuel. Some manufacturers  
of large diesel engines allow this; however, for your diesel engine, do not use the  
diesel fuel which has been contaminated with engine oil. Besides causing  
engine damage, such fuel can also affect emission control. Before using any  
diesel fuel, check with the service station operator to see if the fuel has been  
mixed with engine oil.  
Do not use any fuel additive. At the time this manual was printed, no other fuel  
additive was recommended. (See your authorized dealer to find out if this has  
changed.)  
The engine is designed to use either Number 1-D or No. 2-D diesel fuel. However, for better fuel  
economy, use No. 2-D diesel fuel whenever possible. At temperatures less than –7 C (20F), No.2-D  
fuel may pose operating problems (see “Cold Weather Operation” which follows). At colder  
temperatures, use No.1-D fuel (if available) or use a “winterized” Number 2-D (a blend of No. 1-D and  
No. 2-D). This blended fuel is usually called No. 2-D also, but can be used in colder temperatures than  
No.2-D fuel which has not been “winterized”. Check with the service station operator to be sure you can  
get the properly blended fuel. Note that diesel fuel may foam during a fill-up. This can cause the  
automatic pump nozzle to shut off even though your tank is not full.  
Notice: Do not use home heating oil or gasoline in your diesel engine; either may  
cause engine damage.
