2. 안전 정보
Always read and understand the entire instruction manual before operating the generator. Failure to follow safety instructions can result in serious injury or death.
- 일산화탄소 위험: 발전기는 무색, 무취의 유독 가스인 일산화탄소를 생성합니다. 발전기는 창문, 문, 통풍구에서 멀리 떨어진 실외에서만 작동하십시오. 실내 또는 부분적으로 밀폐된 공간에서는 절대 작동하지 마십시오.
- 감전 위험: Do not operate the generator in wet conditions. Ensure all connections are dry and properly insulated. Use ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected outlets.
- 화재 위험: 연료는 인화성이 매우 높습니다. 환기가 잘 되는 곳에서 엔진을 끄고 식힌 후 연료를 보충하십시오. 발전기 근처에서 흡연하거나 화기를 사용하지 마십시오. 연료는 지정된 용기에 보관하십시오.
- 뜨거운 표면: Engine and muffler components become extremely hot during operation and remain hot for a period after shutdown. Avoid contact to prevent burns.
- 움직이는 부품: 부상을 예방하려면 손, 발, 머리카락, 옷을 움직이는 부분에 가까이 두지 마세요.
3. 설정
Before first use, ensure the generator is properly assembled and prepared for operation.
- 포장 풀기 및 조립: Remove the generator from its packaging. Attach the wheels and support legs as per the assembly guide. The sturdy steel frame and heavy-duty wheels facilitate easy transport.
- 엔진 오일 추가: The generator is shipped without engine oil. Fill the engine with the recommended type and amount of oil. The OHVI engine features full pressure lubrication and an automotive-style spin-on oil filter for enhanced longevity.
- 연료 추가: Fill the large-capacity steel fuel tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline. The tank includes a built-in fuel gauge for convenient monitoring. Ensure the fuel cap is securely fastened.
- 배터리 연결: Connect the included battery for electric starting. Follow the positive (+) and negative (-) terminal connections carefully.

4. 사용 설명서
Follow these steps to safely start and operate your Generac GP17500E generator.
- 놓기: Position the generator on a level surface outdoors, away from any structures, windows, or vents.
- 시동 전 점검 사항: Verify oil and fuel levels. Ensure all electrical loads are disconnected from the generator before starting.
- 엔진 시작:
- 전기 시동: 시동 키를 'START' 위치로 돌리십시오. 엔진이 시동되면 키를 놓으십시오.
- Manual Start (Recoil): If the electric start fails, use the recoil starter by pulling the rope firmly.
- 전기 부하 연결: Once the engine is running smoothly, connect your electrical devices to the appropriate outlets. The generator features covered outlets for added protection.
- 공회전 제어: The idle control feature reduces noise and conserves fuel, extending run times. Engage this feature when full power is not continuously required.
- 엔진 정지: Disconnect all electrical loads. Turn the ignition key to the 'OFF' position or use the engine stop switch.

5. 유지관리
정기적인 유지관리를 통해 최적의 성능을 보장하고 발전기의 수명을 연장할 수 있습니다.
- 시간 측정기 : The integrated hour meter tracks maintenance intervals, helping you keep the generator in top shape. Refer to the maintenance schedule in the full manual.
- 오일 교환: Regularly check and change the engine oil as indicated by the hour meter or usage. The automotive-style spin-on oil filter simplifies this process.
- 오일 레벨이 낮아지면 가동을 중단하세요: The generator is equipped with a low-oil level shutdown feature that automatically safeguards the engine from damage by shutting it off if oil levels are too low.
- 에어 필터: 에어 필터를 주기적으로 점검하고 청소하거나 교체하십시오.
- 점화 플러그: 필요에 따라 점화 플러그를 점검하고 청소하거나 교체하십시오.
