TLW-300SS — ENGINE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
 Check the fuel level on the fuel
gauge. When fuel is low, fill the fuel tank
with clean fresh DIESEL FUEL.

If fuel spillage occurs, wipe up the
spilled gasoline completely.
The engine's exhaust contains harmful
emissions.
ALWAYS ventilate the
exhaust when operating inside tunnels,
excavations or buildings. Direct exhaust
away from nearby personnel.
Starting
1. T urn the fuel cock lever to the “ON” position (Figure 13). 7. When the engine starts, the oil pressure light and charge
light should go out. If these lights stay on, stop the
engine immediately and check the system and wiring
(refer to the
Kubota Engine Operator's Manual).
8. Let the engine idle for five minutes with the automatic
idle control switch in the ‘ON’ position.
9. Check the engine for abnormal vibrations, noises and
oil leakage.
10. Check the generator's output voltage by referring to the
AC voltmeter on the control panel. If the meter indicates
120 volts, then 120 VAC can be obtained from the 120 V
and 240V receptacles at the same time.
NEVER turn the key to the ‘START’ position
while the engine is running.
Shutdown
1. Remove the load from the welder/AC generator, then
place both the main and GFCI circuit breakers to the
‘OFF’ position.
2. Listen for the engine speed to drop. Run at low speed
for 3-5 minutes.
3. Stop the engine by turning the key to ‘STOP’ position
and remove the key. Turn the fuel cock lever to the
‘OFF’ position.

2. Close door. Operation with the doors open may cause
insufficient cooling to the unit, and damage may result.
3. Insert the key into the starter switch and turn it to the ‘ON’
position. Check to see the oil pressure and charge lights
on the "Warning Lamp Unit " are lit. If either are not lit,
check the system and wiring (refer to the
Kubota Engine
Operator's Manual).
4. Turn the key to the ‘PREHEAT’ position (Figure 14). When
the preheat light glows, turn the key to the ‘START’ position
to start the engine. As soon as the engine starts, release
the key. The key will automatically return to the ‘RUN’
position.

5. During winter or when the surrounding air temperature is
cold, in situations where a load start is required, turn
the key to the ‘HEAT’ position for a longer time.
6. If the engine does not start within 10 seconds after the
key is turned to the ‘START’ position, wait for about 30
seconds and repeat the procedure as described in
step 4.
NEVER turn the key to the ‘START’
