2. 安全情報

Always read and understand the entire instruction manual before operating the generator. Failure to follow safety instructions can result in serious injury or death.

• 一酸化炭素の危険性: 発電機は無色無臭の有毒ガスである一酸化炭素を発生します。発電機は必ず屋外で使用し、窓、ドア、通気口から離れた場所で使用してください。屋内や密閉された空間では絶対に使用しないでください。
• 感電の危険: Do not operate the generator in wet conditions. Ensure all connections are dry and properly insulated. Use ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected outlets.
• 火災の危険性: 燃料は非常に可燃性です。燃料補給は、換気の良い場所で、エンジンを停止し、冷えた状態で行ってください。発電機の近くでは喫煙や火気の使用は避けてください。燃料は指定容器に保管してください。
• 高温面： Engine and muffler components become extremely hot during operation and remain hot for a period after shutdown. Avoid contact to prevent burns.
• 可動部品： 怪我を防ぐために、手、足、髪の毛、衣服を可動部分に近づけないでください。

3. セットアップ

Before first use, ensure the generator is properly assembled and prepared for operation.

1. 開梱と組み立て: Remove the generator from its packaging. Attach the wheels and support legs as per the assembly guide. The sturdy steel frame and heavy-duty wheels facilitate easy transport.
2. エンジンオイルを追加します: The generator is shipped without engine oil. Fill the engine with the recommended type and amount of oil. The OHVI engine features full pressure lubrication and an automotive-style spin-on oil filter for enhanced longevity.
3. 燃料を追加: Fill the large-capacity steel fuel tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline. The tank includes a built-in fuel gauge for convenient monitoring. Ensure the fuel cap is securely fastened.
4. バッテリーを接続します: Connect the included battery for electric starting. Follow the positive (+) and negative (-) terminal connections carefully.

4. 操作手順

Follow these steps to safely start and operate your Generac GP17500E generator.

1. 配置: Position the generator on a level surface outdoors, away from any structures, windows, or vents.
2. 開始前チェック: Verify oil and fuel levels. Ensure all electrical loads are disconnected from the generator before starting.
3. エンジンの始動:
   • 電動スタート: イグニッションキーを「START」の位置に回します。エンジンが始動したらキーを離します。
   • Manual Start (Recoil): If the electric start fails, use the recoil starter by pulling the rope firmly.
4. 電気負荷の接続: Once the engine is running smoothly, connect your electrical devices to the appropriate outlets. The generator features covered outlets for added protection.
5. アイドルコントロール: The idle control feature reduces noise and conserves fuel, extending run times. Engage this feature when full power is not continuously required.
6. エンジンの停止: Disconnect all electrical loads. Turn the ignition key to the 'OFF' position or use the engine stop switch.

5. メンテナンス

定期的なメンテナンスにより、最適なパフォーマンスが確保され、発電機の寿命が延びます。

• 時間計： The integrated hour meter tracks maintenance intervals, helping you keep the generator in top shape. Refer to the maintenance schedule in the full manual.
• オイル交換: Regularly check and change the engine oil as indicated by the hour meter or usage. The automotive-style spin-on oil filter simplifies this process.
• Low-Oil Level Shutdown: The generator is equipped with a low-oil level shutdown feature that automatically safeguards the engine from damage by shutting it off if oil levels are too low.
• エアフィルター: エアフィルターを定期的に点検し、清掃または交換してください。
