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. Doing so otherwise may lead to accidents and or equipment damage.

2-1.1 Fire prevention

e proper fuel for the diesel generator set is light diesel fuel. Do not use gasoline, kerosen awa to prevent fires from occurring and to provide enough ventilation for people and the mac othe generator is operated on an incline, the lubricating system within the engine will not perform well and may lead to failure of the engine.

Neve carbo orde is required to draw the poisonous exhaust gases out.

e and or other fuels other than light diesel fuel. Keep all flammable fuels

y from the generator as the generator may spark and ignite these gases. In order

hine, keep the diesel generator at least 1.5 meters away from buildings and or

r equipment. Always operate your diesel generator on a level site. If the

2-1.2 Prevention from inhaling exhaust gases

r inhale exhaust gases emitted by the engine. The exhaust gases contain toxic

n monoxide. Never operate your generator in places with poor ventilation. In

r to operate this machinery indoors, a suitable ventilation system for the building

2-1.3 Prevention from accidental burns

Never touch the muffler and its cover when the diesel engine is running. Never touch

e muffler and cover after the diesel engine has been used, as the muffler remains hot

for a long period of time.

2-1.4 Electric shock and short circuits Never touch the generator if the generator is wet. Also never touch the generator if you

r hand is wet. Never operate your generator if the weather conditions call for any

typ

e of precipitation such as rain, snow, or fog. To prevent electrical shocks, the generato generato beginning to use the electric generator.

r should be grounded. Use a lead to connect the grounding end of the r to the grounding surface of choice. Please refer to Fig. 2-1 before

OWNER’S MANUAL

Note: When connecting devices to the generator, make sure all other devices are

rate

d 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. Also, all operators should be familiar with al

l the switches and functions of the generator before using this machine. While operatin Always keep children and animals away from the generator

Th In order to protect your eyes, skin, and clothing, wear protective gear when working wit immediatel

OWNER’S MANUAL

2-2 Preparation before operation

2-2.1 Fuel choices and fuel treatment

Fuel tank Us

e only light diesel fuel. The fuel should be filtered clean. Never let dust and water mix with fuel in the fuel tank. Otherwise it will clog the fuel lines and oil nozzles. It may also damage your pressure pump. Note

: It is dangerous to overfill the fuel tank. Never exceed the red piston in the

filter.

Type

The effective volume of fuel tank:(L) (US gal)

a. After purchasing fuel, put it into a

drum and let it sit for 3-4 days.

b. 3-4 days later, insert half of the fuel

siphon into the drum, (water and impurities stay in the lower portion of the drum)

Air filter element Do not wash the air filter. The element is made of dry material, which does not permit washing. When the output of the diesel engine is bad or the color of the exhaust gas is abnormal, replace the air filter element. Never start the diesel engine without the air filter.

Note: Neve

r smoke near the opening of the fuel tank. Do not let sparks get near the fuel or fuel tank and do not overfill tank. After filling, tighten the fuel cap.

OWNER’S MANUAL

2-2.2 Filling engine oil

Remove the dipstick from the engine Make sure the generator is on level ground, and fill the engine with 15W40 engine oil. Put the dipstick back into the hole to check the engine oil level.

Engine oil is the most important factor in determining the life of your generator engine an engine such as bearings, and other rotating parts will shorten considerably

. If you use poor engine oil or if you don’t change the oil regularly, the piston

d cylinder will wear easily or seize up. Also, the life of the other parts in your

FIRST USE

Although there is an oil sensor that checks for low oil pressure, it is always a good ide

a to check the amount of oil inside the engine. If the oil level is low, fill it before starting the engine. A good time to drain the oil from the engine is when the diesel engin

e is warm. If the engine is fully cooled, it is more difficult to drain all the oil out

or some impurities will remain in the engine.
