3.0 Control function 3.1 Three-in-one Combination Switch ① Conbination Switch in "OFF" position: The ignition circuit is closed, the fuel is off and the engine cannot not start. ② Combination Switch in "ON" position: The ignition circuit is open, fuel is on, choke is in full open state allowing the engine to run normally.
3.2 Low oil warning light (red) When the crankcase oil drops below the safety level, the oil protection system will automatically shut off the engine and the low oil warning light (red) will light up. Filling the oil to the correct level will allow the engine to be re-started.
3. Check whether there is a foreign body blocking the air inlet and whether there is any abnormality in the relevant control parts. If there is any problem, immediately eliminate it. 4. After checking, press the voltage recovery button for 1-3 seconds to restore the voltage output. NOTICE:When using electrical equipment with high startup current (such as compressors, submersible pumps, etc.), the overload indicator may light up for a few seconds at the beginning.
6. When the green light is off and the red light flashes 5 times in 3 seconds: This indicates that the bus voltage is too high and the generator has no output. 7. The green light is off and the red light flashes 6 times in 3 seconds: This indicates overload protection and no output.
3.6 Energy Conservation switch ① "ON", when the energy conservation switch is in the "ON" position, the energy saving device controls the engine speed according to the connected load, which can achieve better fuel consumption and lower noise. ② "OFF", when the energy conservation switch is in the "OFF" position, the engine is running at the rated speed (3600r/min) regardless of whether the load is connected.
3.8 Fuel tank cap Rotate counter clockwise to remove the tank cap. 3.9 Fuel tank cap vent lever There is a vent lever on the top of the fuel tank to prevent the flow of fuel. When using the generator, the vent lever must be in the "ON" position allowing fuel to flow into the carburetor to keep the engine running.
3.11 Parallel operation (optional feature) The parallel connector is used to connect two 2300i-2 of the same voltage and frequency running parallel to one another. Parallel operation requires two 2300i-2 devices and special cables (Rated output power of parallel operation is 3.4KVA, rated current of 120V generator is 28.0A and rated current of 230V generator is 14.5A) Operating procedures and related considerations are detailed in the parallel output system.
4.0 Pre-use inspection NOTICE:Be sure to check before each use. WARNING: The engine and muffler will become very hot during use. Do not check or perform any repairs until they have fully cooled. Ensure any parts of the body or clothing do not come into contact with the engine and muffler.
4.2 Engine oil This generator is delivered dry WITHOUT OIL or FUEL. Do not attempt to start the engine until the oil has been filled to the correct level. 1. Please place the engine on a level surface. 2. Rotate the locking handle of the oil port cover and remove to gain access to the dipstick ①. 3.
4.3 Preparation WARNING: If any of the following parts do not work properly, please carefully check and repair the engine before starting. The user should be concerned about the state of the generator. Even if the generator is not in use, its important parts may break down suddenly.
5. Operating the Generator WARNING: ⚫ Do not use the generator in a confined space. The exhaust gases discharged from the generator may cause loss of consciousness or even death in a short time. Please use it in a well-ventilated place. ⚫...
5.1 Starting the Generator from cold 1. Turn the energy saving switch to "OFF". 2. Turn the fuel tank cap ventilation lever to "ON". 3. Rotate three-in-one combination switch to the "CHOKE" position to: A) turn the fuel on B) turn the ignition system on C) close the choke to assist the cold engine to start NOTICE: When the engine is hot, it may not always be necessary to set the "CHOKE"...
5.2 Stopping the Generator NOTICE: Turn off all connected electrical equipment. 1. Turn the energy saving switch to "OFF" 2. Disconnect all electrical equipment 3. Set the combination control switch to the "OFF" position to: A) turn the fuel off B) turn the ignition system off 4.
5.3 AC connection WARNING: All electrical equipment should be disconnected before the plug is inserted. NOTICE: ⚫ Ensure that all electrical equipment, including wires and plugs, are in good condition before connecting to the generator. ⚫ Make sure all load of the generator is within the rated load range. ⚫...
5.4 Battery charging NOTICE: ⚫ The rated DC voltage of this generator is 12V ⚫ Connect the battery to the generator once the generator is running ⚫ Before starting to charge, make sure the DC protector is on 1. Turn on the generator. 2.
Page 27
⚫ It is recommended to check the electrolyte specific gravity at least every 1 hour to prevent the battery from overcharging. WARNING: Do not smoke while connecting or disconnecting the battery during charging. The resulting spark will ignite the gas around the battery. Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid, which is toxic and is a burn hazard.
5.5 AC parallel operation (optional feature) Before connecting a device to any generator, ensure that it is in good working condition and that its electrical rating does not exceed the total number of parallel generators. Most motors require more than their working current when started.
Page 29
Correct the problem and restart the generator. The two types of 2300i-2 generators (same voltage and frequency) can be connected to each other, using a parallel cable suite to increase the available power supply. Connect the equipment or power cord to the generator first as described in the accessories to the parallel running cable kit accessories.
The limit time when the maximum power can be operated: 30 minutes Maximum power for parallel operation: 3.6Kw Rated power for parallel operation: 3.4Kw, continuous operation, not exceeding rated power. The requirement for total power of all connected equipment must be considered. The list of manufacturers of electrical appliances and power tools usually lists power ratings for similar models or serial numbers.
Page 31
For example: Generator rated output 1600W Frequently Power factor ≤1600W ≤1280W When the total power exceeds the rated power, the overload indicator light will illuminate (see P8). NOTICE: Do not overload; the total power of the electrical equipment must not exceed the output power of the generator, or it will cause damage to the generator.
6. Maintenance Good maintenance is the best guarantee to achieve safe, economical and zero fault operation. It also contributes to environmental protection. The user should operate the machine safely. Periodic inspection, adjustment and lubrication can ensure safe and efficient operation of the generator. Warning: Please turn off the engine before maintenance.
