Guardian Technologies 04760-2 Manual De Usuario

Without sufficient cooling and ventilating air flow, the 
engine/generator quickly overheats, which causes it to 
quickly shut down. (See Figure 4.9 for vent locations.)





If the generator has been submerged in water, it MUST 
NOT be started and operated. Following any submersion 
in water, have an Authorized Dealer thoroughly clean and 
dry the generator.

Periodically wash and wax the enclosure using automo-
tive type products. Frequent washing is recommended 
in salt water/coastal areas. Spray engine linkages with a 
light oil such as WD-40.

If the generator cannot be exercised every seven days, 
and it is to be out of service longer than 90 days, pre-
pare the generator for storage as follows:

1.  Start the engine and let it warm up.
2.  Close the fuel shutoff valve in the fuel supply line 

and allow the unit to shut down.

‹

3.  Once the unit has shut down, it will signal a low oil 

fault.

4.  Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF and turn 

off the utility power to the transfer switch. Remove 
both fuses from the generator control panel.

5.  While the engine is still warm from running, drain 

the oil completely. Refill the crankcase with oil. See 
”Engine Oil Recommendations,” Section 4.3.1.

6.  Attach a tag to the engine indicating the viscosity 

and classification of the oil in the crankcase.

7.  Remove the spark plug(s) and spray fogging agent 

into the spark plug(s) threaded openings. Reinstall 
and tighten the spark plug(s).

8.  Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry room 

on a wooden board. Never store the battery on any 
concrete or earthen floor.

9.  Clean and wipe the entire generator.

To return the unit to service after storage, proceed as 
follows:

1.  Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its OFF 

(or open) position.

2.  Verify that utility power is turned off and that the 

AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to OFF.

3.  Check the tag on the engine for oil viscosity and 

classification. Verify that the correct recommended 
oil is used in the engine (see Section 4.3.1). If neces-
sary, drain and refill with the proper oil.

4.  Check the state of the battery. Fill all cells of unsealed 

batteries to the proper level with distilled water. DO 
NOT USE TAP WATER IN THE BATTERY. Recharge 
the battery to 100 percent state of charge, or, if 
defective, replace the battery. See “Specifications,” 
Section 1.5, for type and size.

5.  Clean and wipe the entire generator.
6.  Remove both fuses from the generator control 

panel.

7.  Reconnect the battery. Observe battery polarity. 

Damage may occur if the battery is connected incor-
rectly. Replace the fuses in the generator control 
panel.

8.  Open the fuel shutoff valve.
9.  Start the unit by moving the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL 

switch to MANUAL. Allow the unit to warm up thor-
oughly.

10. Stop the unit and set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL 

switch to AUTO. Set the generator’s main circuit 
breaker to its ON (or closed) position.

11. Turn on the utility power to the transfer switch.
12.  The generator is now ready for service.

NOTE:

If the battery was dead or disconnected, the exercise 
timer must be reset.
