Chapter 1 BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Fire and Explosions
Keep Flames Away
Do not use flames near the engine (in
the engine room). Fuel gas vapor or
other gas can catch fire and produce
dangerous situations.
Wipe off spilled fuel, oil and LLC
immediately and thoroughly. Spilled fuel, oil and LLC
may ignite and cause a fire.
Store fuel and engine oil in a well-ventilated area.
Make sure that the caps of fuel and engine oil containers are tightly closed.
Always Swich the Water Heater
ON
(Emergency generator with
water heater)
Always swich the water heater ON (automatic mode)
through a whole year.
If the switch is not ON (automatic mode), each cylinder varies considerably in combustion at the starting
up the engine. Unburned fuel may explode in the
exhaust pipe.
Keep Engine Surrounding Area
Tidy and Clean
Do not leave combustible or explosive materials, such
as fuel, engine oil and LLC, near the engine. Such
substances can cause fire or explosion.
Remove dust, dirt and other foreign materials accumulated on the engine and surrounding parts thoroughly. Such materials can cause fire or the engine to
overheat. In particular, clean the top surface of the
battery thoroughly. Dust can cause a short-circuit.
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 recommended to calculate the required amount of air supply
to the engine and install an adequate ventilation system before installing the engine.
Do Not Open Side Cover Until
Engine Cools
Do not attempt to open the side cover of the crankcase 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 leaks are found, immediately stop the engine and take corrective measures to
stop leakage.
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 electrolyte, etc., use a flameproof light. An ordinary lighting 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 disconnect the battery cable from the negative (-) terminal 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 service 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
Stay Clear of All Rotating and Moving Parts
Install Protective Covers
Around Rotating Parts
Make sure the protective covers of
the engine are correctly installed.
Repair any damaged or loose covers.
Never remove the covers such as
damper cover, camshaft cover, or
rocker cover that enclose the revolving parts during
operation.
When the engine is coupled to driven equipment, be
sure to provide protective covers over the parts such
as the connecting belts and couplings that are
exposed.
Never remove protective covers.
Check Work Area for Safety
Before starting the engine, make sure no one is near
the engine and tools are not left on or near the engine.
Verbally notify persons within the immediate area
when starting the engine.
When the starter device is posted with a sign that prohibits startup operation, do not operate the engine.
Stay Clear of Moving Parts
While Engine is Running
Stay away from rotating or sliding
parts of the engine while the engine is
running. Put objects, which might be
easily caught by rotating parts, away
from rotating parts.
If any part of the clothing or outfitting is caught by a
rotating part, serious bodily injuries could result.
Lockout and Tagout
Be sure to lockout and tagout before starting inspection and maintenance.
Lockout and tagout are effective methods of cutting off
machines and equipment from energy sources.
To accomplish the lockout/tagout, remove the starter
switch key, set the battery switch to OFF and attach a
"Do Not Run" or similar caution tag to the starter
switch.
The starter switch key must be kept by the person
who performs inspection and maintenance during the
work.
In the case of pneumatic starting type, close the main
valve of the air tank and post a tag saying "Do Not
Open the Valve" or the like.
Keep Engine Stopped During
Servicing
Be sure to stop the engine before proceeding to
inspection and service procedure. Never attempt to
make adjustments on the engine parts while the
engine is running.
Rotating parts such as belt can entangle your body
and cause serious injuries.
Always Restore Engine Turning Tools After Use
Be sure to remove all turning tools used during maintenance and inspection work. Remember also that the
manual turning gear shaft must be pulled out before
starting the engine.
Starting the engine with the turning tools inserted or
with the turning gear in engagement can lead to not
only engine damage but also personal injuries.

If the wire rope contacts the engine directly, place a
cloth or other soft padding to avoid damage to the
engine and wire rope.
Do Not Climb Onto the Engine
Do not climb onto the engine, nor step on any engine
parts located on the lateral sides.
To work on parts located on the upper section of
engine, use a ladder, stool, etc., that was firmly
secured.
Climbing on the engine may not only damage engine
parts but also cause falling down from the engine and
result in personal injuries.
Always Prepare Stable Scaffold
When working on the upper part of
the engine and other hard-to-reach
places, use a stable work platform.
Standing on a decrepit stool or parts
box may result in personal injury.
Do not place any unnecessary objects on a work platform.

Other Cautions
Never Modify Engine
Unauthorized modification of the engine will void our
warranty.
Modification of the engine may not only cause engine
damage but also produce personal injuries.
If there is a need to modify the engine, contact a
dealer of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
Observe Safety Rules at Work
Site
Observe the safety rules established at your workplace when operating and maintaining the engine.
Do not operate the engine if you are not feeling well,
and inform your supervisor of your condition. Operation of the engine with reduced awareness may cause
improper operation that could result in accidents.
When working in a team for two or more people, use
specified hand signals to communicate among workers.
Work Clothing and Protective
Gear
Wear a hardhat, face shield, safety shoes, dust mask,
gloves, ear plugs and other protective gear as
needed. When handling compressed air, wear safety
goggles, a hardhat, gloves and other necessary protective gear. Working without wearing proper protective gear could result in serious injuries.
Never Break Seals
Perform All Specified Pre-operation Inspections and Periodic
Inspections
Conduct the pre-operation inspections and periodic
inspections as described in this manual.
Failure to conduct the specified inspections may
cause various engine problems, damage to parts, and
serious accidents.
Break-in the Engine
To break-in new engines 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 engines 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
After starting the engine, run the engine at a low idling
speed for 5 to 10 minutes for warming-up. Start the
work after this operation is completed. Warm-up operation circulates the lubricant around the engine, and
thereby, individual engine parts are well lubricated
before they are subjected to heavy loads.
Warm-up operation circulates lubricant oil around the
engine and contributes to a longer service life and
economical operation.
To ensure proper engine operation, the fuel control

Never Operate the Engine in an
Overloaded Condition
Œ Rapid wear of sliding and rotating parts
Œ Engine damage such as seizing of engine parts
Œ Considerably increased consumption of fuel and lubricating oil
Œ Degradation of engine performance due to improper
balance between fuel injection volume and governor
operation or overrunning of the engine which could result in a serious accident.
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.

Handling Fuel
When using fuel from a storage tank, leave it to sit for more than 24 hours so that dust and water can settle at the
bottom. Then, use the upper clean fuel.
Fill up the fuel tank or service tank after each operation.
This prevents water from mixing with fuel in the tank and also gives time for dust and water to separate and settle at
the bottom of the tank.
Before refilling, clean the areas around the caps thoroughly and remove the caps from the drum and tank. Also
clean your hands and the hose before refueling. When using a hand-operated pump, be careful not to pump water
or sediment accumulated at the bottom of the storage tank.
Be sure to use a strainer when filling fuel tank. For a complete filtration, it is recommended to use a clean lint-free
cloth together with the strainer.

Chapter 5 ENGINE OIL
Recommended Engine Oil
Use the engine oils recommended in this manual only. Never use oil other than that specified in this manual.
The use of inappropriate or inferior oils will result in sticking of piston rings, seizure between piston and cylinder, or
premature wear of bearings and moving parts, and significantly shortens the service life of the engine.
Engine Oil Grade
Many oil standards, which are established through
special engine tests, are available to determine the
quality of oil depending on the engines to which they
will be applied and on operating conditions. Among
those standards, API (American Petroleum Institute)
service classifications are mostly used to classify
engine oils. SAE specifies theviscosity only, while the
API service classification indicates the quality level of

Handling Engine Oil
Before filling the engine with engine oil, stop the engine and make sure there are no open flames and other fire
hazards near the engine. Leaked or spilled oil on hot surfaces or electrical components can cause a fire. Wipe off
any spilled oil immediately and thoroughly. After filling oil, securely close the filler cap.
When handling a large amount of engine oil more than the legally specified quantities, be sure to have the work performed by a service station operated under the provision of the law. When removing oil from the engine or oil can,
use an oil pump. Do not suck oil using you mouth and a pipe.
Be sure to close the cap on the oil can after use.
Keep oil in a well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight.
Be sure to obtain the MSDS of the engine oil and follow the instructions of the MSDS.

Chapter 5 ENGINE OIL
Engine Oil Analysis Service
For a long term service life of engine, it is recommended to get an engine oil analysis service.
It is a system to understand the availability of the engine oil using in your engine by sampling it with the special sampling tools.
The engine oil analysis service provides the followings:
ŒThe quantity of fine metal powder in engine oil due to abrasion, by which worn parts can be located.
ŒWater, LLC or salt that should not be in engine oil can be detected.
ŒEngine oil deteriorating conditions, by which appropriate engine oil renewal intervals, operating conditions, proper
inspection and maintenance schedule can be planned.
The engine oil analysis service can diagnose the internal condition of the engine, which is necessary when disassembling the engine. It is highly recommended to take advantage of our engine oil analysis service so that you can
learn the engine condition before any malfunction occurs to the engine.

Maintenance of LLC
Should coolant or LLC be accidentally swallowed, induce vomiting immediately and seek medical attention. If LLC
should enter eyes, flush immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
LLC is toxic. Never dispose of coolant containing LLC drained from engine into regular sewage. For disposal of
used coolant, consult LLC distributor.
Replacement Intervals of LLC
Be sure to renew LLC (coolant) at the intervals specified in this manual.
Failure to renew LLC may cause malfunctions due to performance degradation of preventing rust and cavitation.
When a coolant mixed with the LLC recommended by our company is used, replace coolant every 8000 hours or 2
years, whichever comes first.
LLC Concentration
Keep the LLC concentration of 30 % (GLASSY) and 40 % (PG GLASSY) on any temperature conditions. LLC of
less than 30 % concentration does not provide sufficient corrosion protection. If the LLC concentration is lower than
10 %, it may accelerate corrosion.
When adding coolant, do not add plain water. Always use coolant with the same LLC concentration.

Characteristics of LLC
Additive and Important
Notes
LLC contains several chemicals in such proportions
as to produce chemical reactions that suppress corrosion (ionization) of engine parts in contact with the
coolant. LLC loses its effectiveness by hours of use as
well as lapse of time.
Moreover, if the chemicals in LLC are not maintained,
certain chemicals in the LLC become rapidly used up
and result in dissolution of metals instead of protecting
metals from corrosion. Consequently, other corrosion
preventing chemicals react with dissolving metals and
accelerate corrosion. This condition generates more
Corrosion of Aluminum Parts
Silicate is highly effective in protecting aluminum
against rusting. However, it is unstable in a solution in
which the pH is 9 or lower, and can turn to gel and precipitate in the solution. For this reason, the pH is usually specified to be about 10 to ensure a high alkaline
level.
This means, after silicate is used up, the high alkalinity
causes chemical attacks on aluminum. To prevent this
problem, proper maintenance of the coolant is
required. For case example, rapid wear of mechanical
seals in the water pump due to secondary effects of
silicate gel formed. Corrosion of aluminum parts after
silicate is consumed.

of fuel, oil and coolant. Check the operating record of the engine to determine the most ap propriate service
intervals. (Feel free to consult a dealer of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. regarding service intervals.)
Service the items at multiples of the original requirement. For example, at 1000 service hours, also service those
items listed under every 250 service hours and every 50 service hours.
Periodic Maintenance Chart
Appropriate service intervals vary depending on the engine specifications. Perform all daily inspection and maintenance items in an accordance with the following 3 categories.
Periodic Maintenance Chart for Regular Use Engine
When the engine is used as a regular use engine, perform the periodic inspection and maintenance in accordance
with the "Periodic Maintenance Chart for Engine in Regular Use".
Periodic Maintenance Chart for Emergency Engine
When the engine is used as an emergency engine, perform the periodic inspection and maintenance in accordance
with the "Periodic Maintenance Chart for Emergency Engine". Due to the nature of application, an engine for emergency use is subject to demanding operating conditions such as a quick startup and immediate supply of power. In
addition, it must operate reliably in the event of an emergency. Therefore, be sure to perform the daily inspection
and also conduct the following operation for maintenance purposes. Once every week: Operate the engine under
no load (for 3 to 5 minutes). (When operating the engine for the adjustment of peripheral devices, limit the operating
time to 10 minutes.) Once every month: Operate the engine under load (for 15 to 30 minutes with more than 1/2
load). If the engine cannot be operated under load every month, operate the engine under load (more than 1/2 load)
for more than 2 hours. During the engine maintenance operation, check the ease of startup, oil pressure, and
exhaust color and vibration.
Periodic maintenance chart for general purpose engine
If the engine is used for different purposes other than the above usage, do maintenance according to the "Periodic
Maintenance Chart for General-Purpose Power Supply Engine".

Chapter 8 PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Basic Engine
Engine External - Inspect
Be sure to keep combustible materials away from the engine, especially from the hotengine parts such as exhaust
manifolds, or the battery. Check for fuel and oil leaks. Remove dust from the top surface of the battery. A fire can
be caused by combustible materials placed near hot engine parts. If any abnormality is found, be sure to repair it
or contact your local dealer.
Inspect the engine exterior as described below.
1. Make sure there is no combustible material near the engine or battery. Also, check to make sure that the engine
and battery are clean. If combustible materials or dust are found near the engine or battery, remove them.
2. Check the electrical wiring for such components as the starter and alternator for looseness.
3. Check the whole engine for leaks of fuel, engine oil or coolant. If leaks are found, repair or contact your local
dealer.
4. Check that valves, plugs or cocks are properly positioned.
ŒFuel feed valve: Open
ŒCoolant drain cock (plug): Closed
ŒEngine oil drain plug: Closed

Chapter 8 PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Belt and Belt Tension - Inspect and Adjust
If defects such as cuts or surface separations are found during inspection, replace the belt.
Keep oil and grease away from the belt. They may cause the belt to slip and shorten the service life.
Excessive belt tension can cause rapid wear of the alternator bearing and shorten the service life of the belt.
Adjust the belt tension accurately by following the procedures below.
Belt - Inspect
1. Inspect the belt visually for separation or damage. If any abnormality is found, replace the belt with a new one.
2. Inspect belt tension (deflection) and pressing force.
V-belt
Push the belt downward at the midway between pulleys with approximately 98 to 147 N {10 to 15 kgf} [22.05 to
33.05 lbf]. If the deflection is 10 to 15 mm [0.39 to 0.59 in.], the tension is correct. If the deflection of belt is not within
the standard, adjust the belt tension.
Ribbed belt
Refer to Table 8-1 "Ribbed Belt Tension Force", adjust the pressing force if it is not average level when pushing the
belt downward till 15 mm [0.59 in.] at the midway between pulleys with gauge.
Belt Tension (Alternator Side) - Adjust
1. Remove the belt cover.
V-belt
Width Approx.
Approx. 10 mm [0.39 in.]

When installing a damper protective cover to the
engine, do not use a cover that encloses the damper.
It may cause serious engine problems because the
damper deteriorates by heat or not deliver enough its
performance.

due to heat.
Note: If defects are found in the damper, contact a
dealer of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
Damper Temperature Management
For making damper function well, heat of damper must be dissipated from its surface to prevent excessive damper
heating. Mitsubishi inspects each engine before shipment to ensure proper operating temperature of the vibration
damper. However, the vibration damper temperature varies depending on ambient conditions. Therefore, observe
the following suggestions and provide sufficient ventilation for the vibration damper and equipment.
1. Make sure the temperature of the outside damper surface does not exceed the temperature that described in the
following table when operating the engine with rated power for an hour.

2. When installing a safety cover to damper, check ventilation carefully and make sure the damper temperature remains below the temperature specified above, with the cover in place.
3. It is recommended to use the thermo label for the temperature management of damper in regular use engine.
8-4
Chapter 8 PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Thermo Label - Handle
The white thermal part of thermo label becomes black when reaching the specified value.
Note: The thermal part that becomes black once does not return to white. Therefore, if the engine stops and then the
temperature of damper drops, the thermo label continues indicating the maximum temperature while engine is
running.
1. Attach a thermo label to the periphery or front end of damper.
2. Note the maximum temperature to check the thermal part of thermo label when engine stops. Note the temperature periodically, and check the abnormality of temperature alteration.
Note: (a) When the temperature of thermo label increased, identify the abnormality of engine or other cause. Then,
reattach new thermo label, and check the change of temperature.
(b) If the temperature indication of thermo label comes close to the limit temperature of damper or the abnormality is found in change of temperature, contact a dealer of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
(c) For damper temperature limit and inspection, refer to "Damper - Inspect" (8-4).

Chapter 9 LONG-TERM STORAGE
If the engine has been left unattended for 3 months or more, the internal engine parts can rust, and that may cause
damage to the engine.
When storing the engine for an extended period of time, be sure to follow the steps below.
Storing the Engine in an Inoperable Condition
for 3 Months or More
Preparation for Storage
1. Drain the engine oil in-use, and pour rust-preventive oil (NP-10-2).
2. Prepare a fuel mixture containing 50% rust-preventive fuel (NP-9), and fill the fuel tank with it.
3. Run the engine at low idling speeds for 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Immediately before stopping the engine, spray volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) through the inlet port to prevent
rust on the air intake system.
5. Stop the engine, and drain the fuel mixture from the fuel tank.
6. Apply rust-preventive oil (NP-3) liberally on the exposed sections of mechanical surfaces.
7. Seal the air inlet, exhaust outlet, breather and other openings with an adhesive cloth tape.
8. Loosen the belt.
9. Wrap adhesive cloth tape on the terminals of the starters and alternator, and seal the openings. Cover these sections with polyethylene sheet or processed polyethylene paper, and place desiccants in the polyethylene covers.
10. Disconnect the cables from the battery terminals, and charge the battery. Clean the terminals, apply a thin coat
of grease to the terminals, and store the battery in a cool and dry room.
11. Cover the whole engine.
Note: (a) Store the engine in a well-ventilated and dried indoor area.
(b) It is not necessary to drain coolant since it contains LLC. (LLC must be specified concentration. For LLC
concentration, refer to "LLC Concentration" (6-6).)
(c) Post a sign at an easily noticeable place to warn that the fuel tank must be filled with fuel before operating
the engine for the first time after storage.
