Operation
3.1
Inspect Before Operation
After finished installation, our diesel engine
generator set can be put into use. Each time before
starting the generator set, following items shall be
checked without fail:
◆If there is foreign material exists in the surface of
generator set or in the ambient environment which
may hamper the generator set's operation.
◆If the air inlet and ventilation path in the generator
set working room is expedite.
◆If the anti‐freeze level is normal.
◆If the air filter indicator works well
◆If the lubricant level is within the specified range
◆If the fuel valve is open, if the fuel has been supplied
to the engine normally.
◆If the cable has been connected to the battery in a
correct way.
◆Check if the load equipment has been well prepared.
When the generator set directly connects to the load,
the air switch shall be cut off before start.

Generator set's running
3.2.1
Pre‐heat
For the generator set which is installed with
pre‐heater, operators need to decide if pre‐heating is
needed before start the generator set according to
environment temperature. The control panel which is
installed with pre‐heat switch can instruct the engine
to start the pre‐heater so that to achieve the purpose
of pre‐heating.
3.2.2
Connect to power
Turn the air switch in the control panel from "OFF" to
"ON", watch the panel until the background light
turn on, that means the control panel has been
successfully connected to the power. At the same
time make sure the fuel pipes are open, and the
speed governor or the control unit in the electronic
fuel injection generator set is under working status.

3.2.3
Start
Part of the generator set control panel has been
furnished with idle speed / full speed transfer switch,
users can choose if the engine need to be started in
idle speed or in one time full speed. Usually the time
period for idle speed shall not exceed five minutes.
Do not run the generator set in idle speed in a long
time period.
Press on the start button, the duration shall not
exceed 30 seconds, engine will be started by the start
motor. As soon as the engine be started successfully,
you can release the start button and the generator
set will enter into running status.
Suggestion:
In order to extend the life expectancy of start battery
and start motor, the duration for one time start shall
be controlled within 5 to 10 seconds. If one time start
fails, stop for some time and begin the second time
start procedure.
For the control panels which are installed with
self‐start(or
communication)
generator set pre‐heating, start‐up period and
starting times have been controlled by the program
(this program can be set and modified by user).
Operation procedure please refers to operation
manual.
When the generator set control panel has
malfunction(s), timely overhauling is needed before
Re‐start the control panel.
Warning:
For any start up which is made through force, not by
control panel, the malfunction caused by it do not
belong to the scope of warranty.
3.2.4
Running
When the generator set begins full speed running,
and the alternator's voltage and frequency becomes
normal and stable, operators can put the generator
set into normal running.
During the generator set's running period, operators
shall often watch and check the parameters such as if
the generator set is running normally, if the control
panel instrument is indicating the right position, if the
control panel has pre‐warning indication, and the fuel
level in the base frame etc, and make record for the
parameters. (see attach file)
