Putting the Power Generator into Operation

Operating conditions
Power stations provide steady work at ambient temperature from -15°C to +40°C, (gasoline and oil type should be picked up according to these conditions). Relative humidity <60%.
Generating set performance is reduced by approximately 4% for every additional 10°C and/or approximately 1% for every additional 100m in altitude.
Operator’s manual
Positioning the generating set for operation
Place the generating set on a flat, horizontal surface which is firm enough to prevent the set sinking down (under no circumstances should the set tilt any direction by more than 10°).
Earthing the generating set
To earth the generating set, use a 10 mm’ copper wire attached to the generating set earth connection and to an earthing rod of galvanised steel set in the ground to a depth of 1 metre. This also dissipates the static electricity that builds up in the electrical machines.
Checking the oil level
– Remove the dipstick/plug on the exhaust side by unscrewing it, and wipe the dipstick.
– Insert the dipstick into the filler neck without screwing it in. A second plug, without a dipstick, is available if necessary on the other side of the engine.
– Check the level and top up if necessary. If it is necessary:
– Using a funnel, fill the engine oil sump right up to the top of the filler opening.
– Screw the plug fully back onto the filler tube.
– Check that there are no leaks.
– Wipe off excess oil with a clean cloth.

Checking the fuel level

Check the fuel level and top up if necessary:
– See the fuel tank indicator.
– Fill the tank using a funnel, taking care notto spill petrol.
– Screw the cap back on to the fuel tank.
Only use clean fuel without any water. Do not overfill the tank (there should not be any fuel in the filler neck). When you have filled up, ensure that the tank cap is closed correctly.
Take care not to spill any fuel when filling the tank.
Before starting up the generating set, and if any fuel has been spilt, make sure that it has dried and that the vapours have cleared away.

Using the generator set

Elecrtic starting

1. Open the fuel tap by turning lever to the right.

2.  Move the choke knob to the closed position.
   Note: Do not use the choke when the engine is warm or when the atmospheric temperature is high.

3. Turn the engine switch to the START position and hold it there for 5 seconds or until the engine starts.

4. When the engine has started, gradually open the choke.

Recoll starting

1. Open the fuel tap by tuming lever to the right.

2. Move the choke knob to the closed position.
   Note: Do not use the choke when the engine is warm or when the atmospheric temperature is high.

3. Move the engine switch to ON.

4. Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance is felt. Retum the handle to its original position and pull swiftly. Do not fully pull out the rope. After starting, allow the starter return to its original position while still holding the handle.

5. When the engine has started, gradually open the choke. If the engine has not started, repeat the procedure until the engine starts while gradually opening the choke.
   Warm up the engine without load for a few minutes.

Using electric power

1. Check the voltmeter display for proper voltage.
2. Check the amperage of the socket, and be sure not to take a current exceed the exceed the specified amperage. Be sure that the total wattage of all appliances does not exceed the rated output of the machine.
3. Turn off the switch(es) of the electrical auntie nce(s) before connecting to the machine.
4. Insert the plug(s) of the electrical appliance(s) into the receptacle.

Welding instructions
No work of power station in a mode “welding” and “generator” is forbidden. Before carrying out of welding works disconnect all consumers from sockets.

1. Check the welding cable, connect the welding cables to the welder’s DC terminals.
2. Start the engine, run at no load to warm up fully.
3. Set the current adjust knob to the proper current level.

Switching off

1. Take the plugs out of the sockets and allow the engine to run without any charge for 1 to 2 minutes.
2. Place the engine switch on “OFF” and the set will stop.
3. Close the fuel tap.

Oil sensor
The oil sensor detects the fall in oil in the crankcase and automatically stops the engine when the oil level falls down below the safety limit. If the engine does not start by usual starting procedures, check the oil level.
High altitude operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburetor and readjusting the pilot screws. If you always operate the generator at altitudes higher than 1000 m above sea level, have your authorized dealer perform these carburetor modifications. Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for each 300 m increase in altitude. The affect of altitude on the horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made. Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburetor is jetted for may result in reduced performance,overheating,and serious engine damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.

Preparation and maintenance in winter time Maintenance in winter time is considered to be the period when the temperature of the ambient air is fixed below +5°C. The low temperature of the ambient air hampers the engine start, negatively influences the operation of all its systems. To prepare the generator and provide its further no-failure operation it is necessary to make the following steps: – Use up all the old fuel completely, discharge the remaining one. – Clean the filter of the fuel valve. – Check the air filter. Change it if necessary. – Substitute the engine oil for the oil corresponding to the season. – Fill the fuel tank with the fuel to avoid ingress of water and its further freezing in the fuel tank and the carburetor. The generator is to be kept in a place at the temperature from +5°C and above in winter time. If the engine stops for more than 15 minutes during the operation at negative temperatures it is necessary to place the set into a warm place to prevent the condensate freezing in the breather pipe and the throttle before its start. It may cause the pressure boost in the crankcase housing and the gaskets break down. The monitoring of the set operation is to be carried out oftener than under usual operating conditions as they are considered to be rough.

 Maintenance

– The maintenance interval frequency and the operations to be carried out are outlined in the maintenance programme. – However, it should be added that it is the environment in which the generating set is operating which determines this programme. Accordingly, if the set is used in extreme conditions, shorter intervals between maintenance procedures should be adopted. These maintenance schedules apply only to generating sets running on fuel and oil, that conform to the specifications given in this booklet.

Daily| •Check the air cleaner
•Check oil level and refill to the upper level before starting the engine.
•Check all the points indicated in’ Putting the Generator into Operation”.
---|---
50 hours (Weekly)| •Clean and wash air-cleaner element.

Renewing the motor oll
Initial oil change should performed after first 25 hours of use. Thereafter change oil every 50 hours. Before changing oil, check for a suitable way to dispose of the old oil. Do not pour it down into sewage drains, onto garden soil or into open streams.
Drain the oil when the engine is still warm, to ensure that drainage is rapid and complete.

1. Place an appropriate container under the drain plug, remove the dipstick/filler piug and the drain plug.
2. On completion, screw in and tighten the drain plug.
3. Fill the engine oil sump with the recommended cil, then check the level.
4. Reposition the dipstick/filler plug and tighten.
5. After filling, check that there are no oil leaks.
6. Wipe off any trace of oil with a clean cloth.

Cleaning the air filter

1. Remove the air filter cover, then remove the latter.
2. Remove the assembly consisting element, and separate them. Check carefully that the element are not tom or pierced. Replace them if they are damaged.
3. Wash the foam element in a solution of household cleaning product and warm water, then rinse thoroughly, or wash it in non-flammable solvent or solvent with a high flash point. Leave the elernent to dry fully. Soak the element in clean engine oil and remove the excess oil. The engine will smoke when it is started for the first time if too much oil temains in the foam.
4. Carry out refitting following the reverse procedure to that used for removal.

Checking the spark plug

1. Remove the spark plug cap and use a spark plug spanner to remove the spark plug.
2.  Visually inspect the spark plug and discard it if the electrodes are wor or if the insulation is split or chipped. tfit is to be re-used, clean the spark piug with a wire brush.
3.  Measure the electrode gap with a feeler gauge. The electrode gap should be from 0,7 to 0,8 mm. Check that the spark plug washer is in good condition and screw the spark plug in by hand, in order to avoid damaging the threads.
4.  After fitting the spark plug, tighten it with a spark plug spanner to secure the washer.
   Note: when fitting a new spark plug. tighten it by 1/2 tum after itis in place, in order to press the washer tightly. For the installation of an old spark plug. tighten it by a 1/8—1/4 tum after itis in place, in order to press the washer tightly.

Clianing fuel strainer

Dirt and water in the fuel are removed by the fuel strainer.

1. Remove the strainer cup and throw away water and dirt.
2. Clean the screens and strainer cup with gasoline.
3. Tightly fasten the cup to main body, making sure to avoid fuel leak.

Preparation for storage

Certain operations must be carried out on generating sets which are to remain unused for a long period of time, in order to keep them in good condition. Check that the storage area is not dusty or humid. Clean the exterior of the generating set and apply a rustproofing product.
– Drain fuel from fuel tank carefully. Gasoline left in the fuel tank will eventually deteriorate making engine-starting difficult.
– Loosen the drain screw on the bottom of the carburetor float chamber, and drain the fuel completely.
– Change engine oil.
– Check for loose bolts and screws, tighten them if necessary.
– Clean generator thoroughly with oiled cloth. Spray with preservative if available.
– Pull starter handle until resistance is felt, leaving handle in that position.
– Store generator in a well ventilated, low humidity area.
