period has expired.

• Add on or modified parts that are not exempted by the EPA may not be used. The

use of any non-exempted add on or modified parts by the owner will be grounds for

disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer will not be liable to warrant failures

or warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add on or modified part.

EmergencyStationaryEngineDefinition

An Emergency Stationary Engine is defined as any stationary internal combustion engine

whose operation is limited to emergency situations and required testing and maintenance.

Examples include stationary engines used to produce power for critical networks or

equipment (including power supplied to portions of a facility) when electric power from the

local utility (or the normal power source, if the facility runs on its own power production) is

interrupted, or stationary engines used to pump water in the case of fire or flood, etc.

Stationary engines used for peak shaving are not considered emergency stationary engines.

Stationary engines used to supply power to an electric grid or that supply power as part

of a financial arrangement with another entity are not considered to be emergency engines.

Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for the purpose of maintenance checks and

readiness testing, provided that the tests are recommended by Federal, State or local

government, the manufacturer, the vendor, or the insurance company associated with the

engine. Maintenance checks and readiness testing of such units is limited to 100 hours

per year. There is no time limit on the use of emergency stationary engines in emergency

situations. The owner or operator may petition the Administrator for approval of additional

hours to be used for maintenance checks and readiness testing, but a petition is not required

if the owner or operator maintains records indicating that Federal, State, or local standards

require maintenance and testing of emergency ICE beyond 100 hours per year. Emergency

stationary ICE may operate up to 50 hours per year in non-emergency situations, but those

50 hours are counted towards the 100 hours per year provided for maintenance and testing.

The 50 hours per year for non-emergency situations cannot be used for peak shaving or

to generate income for a facility to supply power to an electric grid or otherwise supply

power as part of a financial arrangement with another entity. For owners and operators of

emergency engines, any operation other than emergency operation, maintenance and

testing, and operation in non-emergency situations for 50 hours per year, as permitted

above is prohibited.

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ

Този двигател се доставя от Briggs& Stratton без масло. Преди да стартирате

двигателя се уверете, че сте налели масло в него според инструкциите в

настоящото ръководство. Ако го стартирате без масло, той ще се повреди, без

да бъде възможно да се ремонтира и без покритие от гаранцията.

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ

Газообразните изпарения са изключително запалими и взривоопасни.

Пожар или взрив могат да причинят сериозни обгаряния или смърт.

При доливане на гориво

• Пълнете резервоара за гориво на открито или в добре проветриво помещение.

• Проверявайте често горивопроводите, резервоара, капачката и съединенията

за пукнатини и течове. Заменете ги, ако е необходимо.

При стартиране на двигателя

• Уверете се, че запалителната свещ, шумозаглушителя, капачката на

резервоара за гориво и въздушния филтър (ако има такива) са на мястото си

и са обезопасени.

• Не развъртайте двигателя с извадена запалителна свещ.

При работеща машина

• Никога не стартирайте и не работете с двигателя при отстранен комплект на

въздушния филтър (ако има такъв) или при отстранен въздушен филтър (ако

• Складирайте далеч от пещи, печки, водонагреватели или други електрически

прибори, които имат сигнални лампи или други запалителни източници, защото

те могат да възпламенят изпаренията от горивото.

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ

Пускането на двигателя създава искрене.

Искренето може да възпламени намиращите се наоколо запалими газове.

Това може да доведе до експлозия и пожар.

• Ако има изтичане на природен или втечнен газ пропан в помещението, не

палете двигателя.

• Не използвайте горива за начално запалване под налягане, защото парите

им са запалими.

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ

ОПАСНОСТ ОТ ОТРОВНИ ГАЗОВЕ. Отработилите газове от двигателя

съдържат въглероден оксид, отровен газ, който би могъл да ви убие за

минути. Вие НЕ МОЖЕТЕ да го видите, да го помиришете или вкусите. Дори

ако не можете да помиришете отработилите газове, вие, все още, може да

бъдете изложени на въздействието на въглеродния оксид. Ако започнете

да се чувствате зле, объркан или отслабнал, докато ползвате това изделие,

излезте ВЕДНАГА на свеж въздух. Отидете на лекар. Възможно е да сте

получили отравяне от въглероден оксид.

• Работете с този продукт САМО на открито, далеко от прозорци, врати и

вентилационни отвори, за да намалите опасността от натрупване на

въглероден окис и от потенциалното му насочване към помещения с хора.

• Монтирайте сигнални уредби за въглероден оксид, захранвани с батерии или

с такива, включващи се от появата му, според инструкциите на производителя.

Сигналните уредби за димни газове не могат да откриват въглеродния оксид.

• НЕ ПУСКАЙТЕ този продукт вътре в домове, гаражи, сутерени, непреходни

коридори, хангари или други частично затворени помещения, дори при

използване на вентилатори или отворени врати и прозорци за вентилация.

Въглеродният оксид може бързо да се натрупа в тези помещения и да се

задържи в продължение на часове, дори след като този продукт е изключен.

• ВИНАГИ поставяйте този продукт по посока на въздушното течение и

насочвайте отработилите димни газове надалеко от заетите с хора помещения.

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ

Бързото притегляне на пусковото въже (обратен удар) придърпва ръката

към двигателя по-бързо, отколкото вие можете да я отдръпнете.

Това може да причини счупени кости, фрактури, контузии и навяхвания.

• При стартиране на двигателя изтеглете бавно пусковото въже, докато

почувствате съпротивление, след което го дръпнете рязко, за да избегнете

обратния удар.

• Изключете всички външни приспособления, които двигателят задвижва, преди

да го стартирате.

• Директно прикачените към двигателя машинни елементи като ножове, перки,

лебедки, зъбни колела, задвижващи вериги и други, трябва да бъдат сигурно

прикрепени.

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ

Въртящите се части могат да допрат или захванат ръце, крака, коса, облекло

или принадлежности.

Може да се достигне до травматична ампутация или сериозно нараняване.

• Работете с двигателя при поставени защитни капаци.

• Дръжте ръцете и краката си на разстояние от въртящите се части.

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ

Този двигател се доставя от Briggs & Stratton без масло. Производителите на

оборудването или търговците може да са добавили масло в двигателя Преди да

стартирате двигателя за първи път, се уверете, че сте проверили и добавили

масло в него според инструкциите в настоящото ръководство. Ако стартирате

двигателя без масло, той ще се повреди, без да бъде възможно да се ремонтира

и без покритие от гаранцията.

За най-добро представяне препоръчваме да се използват сертифицираните масла

с гаранция на Briggs & Stratton. Приемливи са и други висококачествени прочистващи

масл а от клас SF, SG, SH, SJ или по-висок. Не използвайте специални добавки.

Външните температури определят правилния вискозитет на маслото за двигателя.

Използвайте таблицата, за да изберете най-добрия вискозитет според очаквания

диапазон на външната температура. Двигателите на по-голямата част от

оборудването с външно захранване работят добре със синтетично масло 5W-30. За

оборудване, което се използва при високи температури, синтетичното масло

Vanguard™ 15W-50 осигурява най-добра защита.

SAE 30 - При температури под 40°F (4°C) употребата на SAE 30 ще доведе

до трудно стартиране.

10W-30 - При температури над 80°F (27°C) употребата на 10W-30 може да

предизвика повишен разход на масло. Проверявайте нивото на маслото по-

често.

нивото на маслото до горната част на индикатора за напълване (B, Фигура 4)

върху нивопоказателя.

Долейте масло

1. Ако нивото на маслото е ниско, внимателно долейте през отвора за наливане

на масло (C, Фигура ). 4). Не препълвайте. След доливане на масло, изчакайте

една минута и след това проверете отново нивото му.

2. Поставете и затегнете отново щеката на нивопоказателя (A, Фигура ). 4).

Система за защита при ниско ниво на

маслото (ако има такава)

Някои двигатели са оборудване с датчик за ниско ниво на маслото. Ако нивото на

маслото е ниско, датчикът или ще включи сигнален индикатор или ще спре двигателя.

Спрете двигателя и следвайте тези етапи, преди да го пуснете отново.

• Уверете се, че двигателят е хоризонтално разположен.

• Проверете нивото на маслото Направете справка в раздела

Проверка на

нивото на маслото

• Ако нивото на маслото е ниско, долейте съответното количество масло. Пуснете

двигателя и се уверете, че предупредителният индикатор (ако има такъв) не е

задействан.

• Ако нивото на маслото е ниско, не пускайте двигателя. Свържете се с

Оторизиран сервизен представител на Briggs & Stratton за отстраняване на

проблема с маслото.

Препоръки за горивото

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ

Липсващ или неработещ, „изключващ горивото“ кран може да причини пожар

или взрив.

• Не работете с оборудването, ако „изключващи горивото“ кран липсва или не

работи.

Горивото трябва да отговаря на следните изисквания

• Използвайте чисто, обезводнено гориво, без влага или някакви материални

частици. Използване на горива без спазване на препоръчваните качества може

да причини проблеми с техническите характеристики.

• За двигатели, регулирани да работят с втечнен нефтен газ, се препоръчва

търговската марка HD5 LPG. Препоръчваният състав на горивото е този, който

има минимален специфичен термодинамичен потенциал по обем, от минимум

93150 kJ/m (2500 BTU’s/ft³) с 5% максимално съдържание на пропилен, с 2,5%

съдържание на бутан и по-тежки газове и с 90% минимално съдържание на

пропан.

Двигателите за природен газ или втечнен нефтен газ са сертифицирани да работят

с природен или втечнен газ пропан. Системата за контрол над вредните емисии за

двигателя е тип EM (Модификации на двигателя).

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ

Оборудването, към което този двигател се монтира, е снабдено с автоматичен,

предпазен, „изключващ горивото“ кран. Не работете с оборудването, ако

„изключващ горивото“ кран липсва или не работи.

Доливане на гориво

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ

Газообразните изпарения са изключително запалими и взривоопасни.

Пожар или взрив могат да причинят сериозни обгаряния или смърт.

При доливане на гориво

• Пълнете резервоара за гориво на открито или в добре проветриво помещение.

• Проверявайте често горивопроводите, резервоара, капачката и съединенията

за пукнатини и течове. Да се сменяват, ако е необходимо.

За информация относно зареждането на двигатели с природен газ и втечнен нефтен

газ прочетете работните инструкции, предоставени от производителя на

оборудването.

Стартиране и спиране на двигателя

Вижте фигура: 5

Стартиране на двигателя

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ

Бързото притегляне на пусковото въже (обратен удар) придърпва ръката

към двигателя по-бързо, отколкото вие можете да я отдръпнете.

Това може да причини счупени кости, фрактури, контузии и навяхвания.

• При стартиране на двигателя изтеглете бавно пусковото въже, докато

почувствате съпротивление, след което го дръпнете рязко, за да избегнете

обратния удар.

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ

Газообразните изпарения са изключително запалими и взривоопасни.

Пожар или взрив могат да причинят сериозни обгаряния или смърт.

При стартиране на двигателя

• Уверете се, че запалителната свещ, шумозаглушителя, въздушния филтър (ако

има такъв) са на мястото си и са добре закрепени.

• Не развъртайте двигателя с извадена запалителна свещ.
