  • Page 4 Safety Symbols Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause Precautions that involve your safety severe burn or death. Start and run the generator outdoors. Ear protection Do not run the generator in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open. Read carefully and understand operator To reduce the risk of serious injury, avoid manual prior to operation of this product.

  • Page 5: Safety Precautions

    Safety Precautions Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the potential danger of explosion or fire. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Do not smoke or use open flame near the fuel tank. Be careful not to spill fuel during filling. Wipe off spilled fuel and let dry before starting the engine. Do not place inflammables near the generator. Be careful not to place fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloths, straw, trash or any other inflammables near the generator. Generator should be operated outdoors or on a well-ventilated area, otherwise the engine may become overheated and the poisonous carbon monoxide gas contained in the exhaust gases will endanger human lives.
  • Page 6 Operate the generator on a level structure. If the generator gets wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. It is not necessary to prepare a special foundation for the Do not pour water directly to the generator or wash it with generator.
  • Page 7 Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work areas. It is absolutely essential that you know the safe and proper use of the Power Tool or Appliance that you intend to use. All operators must read, understand and follow the Power Tool or Appliance owner’s manual. Power Tool and Appliance applications and limitations must be understood.

    PRE-OPERATION CHECKS 2.2 Lube oil 2.1 Check Engine Oil Before checking or filling oil, be sure the generator is put The suitable lube oil should meet following condition. on a stable and level surface with engine stopped. Lube oil viscosity • Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Fully insert the dipstick then remove it to check the oil level. If the level is near or below the lower limit mark on the dipstick, remove the oil filler cap and fill with recommended oil to the upper limit mark. Reinstall the dipstick and filler cap.
  • Page 9 Choose the applicable viscosity oil according to the local ambient temperature. Interval for changing lube oil EVERY 100 HOURS FOR 20 HOURS AT FIRST EVERY 200 HOURS NEXT THREE TIMES Using inadequate viscosity level will lead to more frequent oil change. Inferior engine oil, interval for changing lube oil will be shortened to every 150 hours running.
  • Page 10 2.3 Lube oil level of engine When starting the generator, check oil level. If the oil is insufficient, add lube oil to the stipulated level. Draining off lube oil can be immediately done after engine stopped. It is difficult to drain off the oil thoroughly when the engine is in its cold state. The engine may be damaged if operated with insufficient lube oil. It is also dangerous to supply too much lube oil to the engine because a sudden increase in engine rpm could be caused by its combustion. Always check the lube oil level before starting the engine and refill if necessary.

  • Page 13 2.5 Instruction for oil and water separator The Diesel Generator is fitted with oil/water separator. When oil is mixed with water, unscrew the tap of the separator towards the left direction to drain off the water. After the water is drained off, screw the tap to the right direction to avoid the fuel leak.

    4. OPERATING THE GENERATOR 1. Warm up the engine without load for 3 minutes. 2. This generator is equipped with low oil warning system. The engine will stop automatically in case of low oil pressure or lubrication oil shortage. The engine will not start without lubrication oil refill. Check the oil level and refill. 3. For a single cylinder generator, do not loosen or readjust either the engine speed limiting bolt or fuel injection limiting bolt (They are already well adjusted before leaving factory), otherwise performance may be affected.
  • Page 18 4.1 AC Application Ground the generator, using the ground terminal located at the panel. Before starting the engine, check that the no-fuse breakers of the generators are turned off. Start the engine and check voltage on voltmeter. • This generator is thoroughly tested and adjusted in the factory.
  • Page 19 4.2 Stopping the Generator In an emergency: To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch to the ‘’STOP” position. In normal use: Turn off the power switch of the electric equipment. Turn the AC breaker to “OFF” position. Unplug the cord of the electric appliance from the receptacle.

  • Page 21 When no wattage ratio is list, it can be approximated by using the formula: Watts=Volts x Amperes, As a rule of thumb, electric motors require 2 to 3 times their nameplate amperage or wattage to start them. • These Figures are for reference only and may vary depending on the appliance design. Consult a professional for exact figures of your appliance.

    The frequency (the number of the generators rotation) was adjusted before the time of shipment. Changing the frequency could result in the generators breakdown. Note: Each Promate Generator model has its own specified and rated circuit breaker.
  • Page 23 To determine the total wattage required to run a particular electrical appliance or tool, multiply the voltage figure of the appliance / tool by the amperage (amps) figure of same. The voltage and amperage (amps) information can be found on rating label which is normally attached to electrical appliances and tools. Voltage drop in electric extension cords When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool with the generator, a certain amount of voltage drop occurs in the extension cord.
