USING THE GENERATOR

Service environment of the generator

• Applicable temperature: -5°C ~ 40°C;

• Applicable humidity: below 95%;

• Applicable altitude: regions below 1,500 m (It shall be used by reducing power in regions above 1,000 m).
  Standard atmospheric condition

• Ambient temperature Tr: 298k (25°C)

• Relative air humidity Фr: 30%

• Absolute atmospheric pressure Pr: 100kPa
  When actual environmental condition is inconsistent with the condition of output power of the generator set:

• Every 5°C of increase in ambient temperature will reduce the power of generator by about 2%.

• Every 30% of increase in relative humidity of air will reduce the power of generator by about 1.5%.

• Every 300 m rising of ASL will reduce the power the generator by about 4.5%.

Generator wiring

• When the generator is connected to household power source as a backup power supply, the connection shall be carried out by a professional electrician or a person familiar with electricity.

• After connecting the load to the generator, check carefully whether electrical connection is safe and reliable. Improper electrical connection may cause generator damage, burning or fire.

• Avoid connecting this generator to commercial power outlet.

• When extending the cable, be sure not to exceed its length.
  ① 60m cross-section area is 1.5mm²
  ② 100m cross-section area is 2.5mm²

• The appearance of extension cable shall be protected by a layer of tough and elastic rubber cover (IEC25) or other substitutes.

Connection of AC power

WARNING
All electrical equipment shall be disconnected before inserting the plug.

ATTENTION

• Make sure that all electrical equipment, including wires and plugs, are in good condition before connecting to the generator;
• Make sure that all loads driven by the generator are within rated load range;
• Make sure that load current is within rated current range of rated socket. Tip: Make sure that the generator set is grounded, and if electrical equipment requires grounding, the generator set must be grounded.
  ① Start up the engine;
  ② Turn energy-saving switch to “ON”;
  ③ Insert the plug into AC outlet;
  ④ Make sure that AC indicator is lit up;
  ⑤ Switch on electrical equipment.
  Tip: Before increasing engine speed, energysaving switch must be switched to “OFF”. If the generator set supplies power to multi loads or electrical equipment, start from large to small according to the size of each electrical equipment.

Generator grounding

In order to prevent any damage to the generator caused by electric shock or improper electrical application, it is recommended that the generator is grounded with good conductor with insulating sheath.
① Please use grounding wire with sufficient electrical energy capacity;
② Connect one end of grounding wire reliable to grounding bolt on control panel of the generator set;
③ Insert grounding body (iron rod with a diameter of 5 ~ 10mm) 200mm below into the earth and lead it out with conductor;
④ Connect the other end of the grounding wire reliable to the led wire of grounding body.

• These items shall be replaced if necessary;
  **These items shall be maintained by the dealer authorized by the Company, unless the user has proper tools and maintenance ability.

ATTENTION

• If it often works under high temperature or high load, oil shall be changed every 25 hours;
• If it often works in dusty or harsh environment, air cleaner element shall be cleaned every 10 hours. If necessary, the air cleaner element shall be replaced every 25 hours;
• It shall be maintained on spot-inspection cycle and time, whichever is earlier;
• If maintenance cycle time has elapsed, perform the maintenance as soon as possible as per the table above.

WARNING
Please shut down the engine first before performing any maintenance. The engine shall be placed in a horizontal position. In order to prevent the engine from starting up, separate spark plug cap shall be separated from spark plug.
Do not use it indoors or use it in a tunnel, cave or other places ventilated poorly. Make sure that work area is well ventilated. Exhaust gas from the engine contains toxic gases, carbon oxides, and the inhalation can cause shock, loss of consciousness, and even death.

Spark plug inspection

Spark plug is an important part of the generator, which must be inspected regularly.

1. Loosen the two bolts on the left panel cover, remove the left panel cover, and remove the high voltage pack;

2. Insert the screwdriver into the sleeve, to screw it counterclockwise, and then remove the spark plug;

3. Check whether there is discoloration, and remove carbon deposits. Check whether there is little pale to moderate brown on ceramic cores around center electrode of the spark plug;

4. Check the model of spark plug and clearance.
   Standard spark: BPR6ES
   Spark plug gap: 0.7-0.8mm
   Tip: The spark plug clearance is required to be measured by line thickness gauge, which shall be adjusted if necessary.

5. Install the spark plugs in reverse order of removal.
   Spark cold torque: 22.5±2.5 N.m
   Tip: If there is no torque wrench when installing the spark plug, a better estimation method is to screw it 1/4-1/2 turns by force after screwing it in place, but the spark plug shall be screwed to specified torque as soon as possible.
   

Adjustment of the carburetor

The carburetor is an important components of the engine. The adjustment shall be carried out by a dealer with professional knowledge, professional data and equipment, to ensure that the adjustment is proper.

Replacement of oil

WARNING
Do not drain the oil immediately after turning off the generator. Oil temperature is very high, when operating, take care to avoid scalding.

1. Put the generator on a horizontal plane, start the generator, run it for a few minutes to make it warm, then turn off the engine;

2. Turn the knob on the oil maintenance cover clockwise and remove the lid;

3. Place an oil pan under the engine, tilt the generator to quickly pour out oil;
   After discharging the oil, put the generator back on level ground;

4. Unscrew oil dipstick;

5. Refill oil to a proper level, tighten oil dipstick, cover external cover plate and tighten the knob.
   Recommended oil: SAE S10W/30 Oil grade: API standard Model SJ or higher Volume: 0.12gal
   

Air filter

Dirty air cleaner may prevent air from flowing into the carburetor. In order to prevent failure of the carburetor, please maintain air cleaner regularly. If being used in a dusty environment, it shall be maintained frequently.

1. Loosen the bolt on the left appearance cover plate and remove the left appearance cover plate;

2. Remove screws , to remove cover plate of air cleaner ;

3. Clean foam cleaner element with cleaning solvent and blow it dry, Put a few drops of oil on the filter element.
