CHAPTER 2: OPERATING THE DIESEL GENERATOR 2-1 General main points of safety during operation of the generator set. In order to operate the generator set safely, please follow all the instructions provided in this manual carefully. Failing to do so may lead to accidents and or equipment damage. 2-1.1 Fire Preventions The proper fuel for the diesel generator set is light diesel fuel.
NOTE: When connecting devices to the generator, make sure all other devices are rated lower than the generators output. Any generator socket should not be overloaded over its regulated limit. 2-1.5 Other Safety Points Before operating this generator, all operators should have a good knowledge of how to break the circuit if any accidents occur.
2-2 Preparation Before Operation 2-2.1 Fuel Choices and Fuel Treatment Air Filter Element Fuel Tank Do not wash the air filter. The element Use only light diesel fuel. The fuel should be is made of dry material, which does not clean.
2-2.2 Fill Engine Oil Fabrication Oil Filling Inlet Put the generator set in a level state. Fill the oil into the oil-filling inlet. At the time of checking the oil level, it is necessary only to lightly insert the oil ruler. Please pay attention that you should not rotate the oil ruler.
2-2.3 Check Air Filter 2-2.4 Checking the Generator (1) Loosen the butterfly nut, take the cover of Before starting the generator, make sure the the air filter off and take the air filter out. air switch is in the “off” position. Starting the generator with the switch in the “on”...
Checking the Operation (3) Check the outer cover of the oil nozzle. Loosen the butterfly nut and of the Diesel Engine 2-3.1 Low-pressure alarm system. open the outer cover. The diesel engines have a low- pressure sensor system where if the oil pressure drops too low, the sensor RUBBER will shut the engine off.
Starting the Generator 2-4.2 Electric Starting 2-4.1 Manual Starting The procedure for preparing to start Start the engine in accordance with the engine are the same as the procedure below: manual starting engine. (1) Put the fuel switch in the “ON” position.

NOTE: If you crank the starter too long, the battery may be drained too much to provide enough energy for proper engine ignition. Also, when the diesel engine is operating, let the key remain in the “ON” position. Check the level of the water in the battery once a month. If the level of the liquid drops too low, fill it with distilled water until it reaches the high mark.
Proper Operation Loading of the Generator Set 2-6.1 Load Conditions 2-5.1 Operating the Diesel Engine Exert loads in accordance with the Pre-heat the diesel engine for 3 specified parameters. minutes under no load conditions. First check the height of the 2-6.2 Output of Electricity lubricating oil level, if it is low, refill it.
various devices are too high. In this 5. When charging the battery, the event, decrease the number of small battery produces flammable gases. devices until everything is functional. Do not smoke, flames, and sparks The total drawn power should not get near the battery while it is exceed the maximum output power charging as this may cause a fire.

4. Press down on the brake handle. 7. Finally, pull slowly on the recoil 5. If equipped with an electric starter, handle until you feel resistance turn the key to the “OFF” position. (this is when the piston is on the 6.
CHAPTER 3: MAINTENANCE 3-1 Maintenance Schedules Keeping your generator well maintained will prolong the life of your generator. Everything needs to be checked including the diesel engine, welder, generator, control cabinet and frame. For overhauling procedures, please refer to the instruction manual of the relative subassembly. If you need these manuals, please call our company and we will send you one.
3-1.1 Changing the Engine Oil 3-1.4 Fuel Filter Maintenance (every 100 hours) 1. The fuel filter should be cleaned Take the oil cover out. Take off the oil often to keep the engine running at drain plug when the diesel engine is maximum performance.
3-2 Storing for Long Periods of Time If your generator needs to be stored for long periods of time, the following preparations should be made: 1. Start the diesel engine for 3 minutes then stop it. 2. When the engine is still hot, change the engine oil with the new engine oil of the proper grade.
CHAPTER 4: OVERHAULING AND TROUBLESHOOTING 4-1 Overhauling & Troubleshooting Procedures Causes of Malfunction Remedy Not enough fuel. Add fuel. The switch of fuel is not at “OPEN” position. Turn the switch of fuel to “OPEN” position. High pressure pump and nozzle do not Disassemble the nozzle and adjust it at test inject fuel or the injected amount is less.
