Operation; Before Start-Up - Pramac E3750 Manual Del Usuario

INITIAL INSPECTION
Upon receiving your generator set, inspect the product to make
sure it is complete and in good condition. Handle with care and
place in a suitable site for storage or operation.
GROUND CONNECTION
The generator can be grounded to earth to reduce the chance
of electrical shock. To do this you will need a grounding rod
and an appropriately sized copper ground wire. Drive the
ground rod into the earth, connect one end of the copper wire
to the rod and connect the other end to the external ground
connection on the generator set. This is a general explanation,
consult National and Local electrical codes to ensure
compliance.

BEFORE START-UP

ENGINE FUEL
Use only Diesel fuel with cetane value of more than 45. Check
the fuel gauge beside the fuel fill and add as necessary.
ENGINE OIL
The engine manual or other information provided by the engine
manufacturer supersedes data provided here. Proper oil grade
varies with climate. The grade listed in the table is typically a
good grade but consult the engine manual to verify proper
grade. The oil fill ports are located on both sides of the engine.
The gray filler cap has an integral dipstick. Add the proper
amount of oil and check the level using the dipstick. NOTE:
The dipstick should be placed into the filler opening but not
screwed in to check the level.
ENGINE HP Oil Capacity
Yanmar L70 5.8 1.1 qt (1.0 l)
Yanmar L100 9.1 1.7 qt (1.6 l)
STARTING BATTERY (Electric Start Models Only)
The starting battery should be rated at 12V-34AH. The battery
is fully charged if a voltage of 12.84VDC is measured across
the terminals using a DC Voltmeter.
POSITIONING
• Place the generator set on a flat and solid surface to
prevent it from sinking.
• The surface should not be more than 17° from horizontal
in any direction for the engine to lubricate properly.
• Keep fuel, oil or other explosives at a safe distance from
the generator set.
• Select a site that is well ventilated and protected from the
weather.
• Place the generator set safely away from people and
animals.

OPERATION

Check the engine oil before each use. Never operate the
generator set with insufficient oil.
