Control System

Engine Oil Alerting System (RED)

The engine oil protection system will stop the engine automatically, and the engine oil indicating light will light up when the oil in the crankcase is low.
Fill the engine oil to the proper level to restart the engine.

Notice: If the engine oil alert light flashes for few seconds, it means the oil capacity is insufficient. Refill the oil and restart the engine.

Overload Indicator Light (RED)

When the overload indicating light is on, the generator detects that the output has been overloaded, causing the converter to overheat or the AC voltage to rise. The AC protector will stop the generator to protect the generator and the equipment which connects to it. If the AC indicating light (GREEN) is off, but overload indicating light (RED) is on, the engine will continue working. While the overload light is on, and the generator has no output, please take following measures:

1. Disconnect the electrical equipment and stop the engine.
2. Reduce the total power load of connected electrical equipment to within the rated output range.
3. Check the cool air inlet for any blockage and clean the area if needed.
4. Restart the engine after checking.
   Notice: When using electrical equipment with high starting current (like compressors and sink pumps, etc.), the overload indicating light may flash for few seconds. But this is normal.

AC Indicator Light (GREEN)

The AC indicator light will be on while the engine starts and has normal output.

ECO Switch

While the ECO switch is in the “ON position the equipment will control the speed according to the connected load, and will provide improved fuel efficiencies and low noise.

When the ECO switch is in the “OFF” position, the engine will run at the rated speed. NOTICE: For compressors or other heavy loads the switch needs to be set to the “OFF” position for best results.

Ground Terminal

The ground terminal should be connected to the ground wire to prevent electric shock.

Preparation

Fuel

Danger:

• Gasoline is flammable and toxic. Please read the safety instructions carefully before refueling.(See Page 7 for details.)
• Do not fill the tank with too much fuel, or the fuel will overflow when the tank gets warm.
• After refueling, make sure the fuel tank cover is tight.
• Wipe off any spilled gasoline with a clean, soft cloth after refueling.
• You must use unleaded gasoline. Leaded gasoline will damage the internal parts of the engine.
• Unleaded gasoline tank capacity: 20L or 5.3 gallons.
  

Engine Oil

Notice: The generator is not filled with engine oil when leaving the factory. Please do not start it before filling engine with the required amount of oil.

Starting Preparation

Make sure that the battery is connect before starting the inverter.
See instructions in section 7 for starting this unit.

Notice: After starting, please do not let the starting handle fly back inplace suddenly, but gently put the handle back.

Fuel Tap

Fuel tap is a device that controls the flow of fuel from the tank to the carburetor. Turn the “4-in-1 switch” to the off position when not in use. This shuts off the gas supply to the carburetor.

Choke Valve

The choke valve is used to provide a rich mixture of fuel to a gasoline engine when the cold engine is started. When the cold gasoline engine starts, rotate the knob to the “RUN” position.

When the gasoline engine starts up warm, the starting switch can be placed in the “RUN” position to start.

AC Breaker Protector

Overload of current will turn off the breaker protector automatically. The load should be reduced before re-setting the breaker and restarting the generator.

Ground Terminal

Ground terminal is a special terminal used to ground the entire generator. and to prevent electrical shock.

Generator Use

• Applicable temperature: 23° – 104° F (5° – 40° C)
• Applicable humidity: below 95%
• Applicable altitude: below 3300 ft (1000m). Lower power should be expected in areas above this altitude or contact the dealer to adjust the carburetor.

Connect to House Power Supply

Notice: Connecting this generator to a home power supply is not recommended. This type of connection should only be performed by a licensed electrician. Connecting directly to an appliance is acceptable but the generator MUST be operated outside of any enclosed space.

Generator Grounded

In order to prevent electrical appliances from being damaged, it is recommended to ground the generator with good conductors covered with insulation.

AC Output

Before starting the generator, please confirm: The total load (the sum of all loads) should not exceed the rated power of the generator.

Notice: Overloading can cause a generator to shut down or significantly shorten its life. If the generator set is connected with several loads, please remember: first, switch on the equipment with the highest load, then in turn, switch on the equipment with the lower loads.

Generally speaking, motors require a large initial starting current. The following table is for your reference when connecting these electrical appliances to the generator set.

Use in High Altitude Areas

At high altitudes, a standard carburetor will make the gasoline engine mixture too rich, and reduce the output power and increase the fuel consumption rate. The performance of a gasoline engine can be improved by modifying the carburetor with a smaller jet nozzle or by the adjusting screw. If you always use the generator at high altitudes above 3300 feet from sea level, you can take it to one of our authorized dealers to replace or adjust the carburetor. Otherwise, the load power should be reduced when using the generator. Even with the right carburetor, each 1000 ft. rise in altitude reduces the power of a gasoline engine by about 3.5%. This decline is even greater if the carburetor has not been adjusted properly.

If the carburetor modified for high-altitude use is then used in low-altitude, the thin mixture will cause the output power of the gasoline engine to drop, overheat and even cause serious damage.

Starting the Generator

Starting

This unit is equipped with an electric starter.
There is no manual or pull-start mechanism on the BNG8000iD Inverter.
