IMPORTANT
Please read and understand this operation manual to insure safe operation, and pay high attention to the following main points of operation otherwise it may cause personal injury and damage to equipment. Preventing fires
The fuel of diesel engine is light diesel fuel , so gasoline, kerosene etc. must NEVER be used. Wipe away all fuel spills with a clean cloth. Keep gasoline, kerosene, matches and other explosives and inflammable substance away from the generator, because the temperature around the exhaust muffler is very high during operation. To prevent fire hazards and to provide adequate ventilation, keep the generator at least 1.5 meter away from buildings, structures and other equipment during operation.
Operate the generator on a flat level surface, there may be fuel spillage or poor operation if the generator is tilted. Preventing exhaust gas inhalation Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide.
Always use the generator in outdoor locations minimum 1.5m anyway from window, doors or opening. Generators MUST never be used indoors, in garages, cabins, out building, sheds or any confined spaces including vehicles and vehicle compartments. Electric shocks, short circuits In order to avoid electric shocks or short circuit, do not
touch the generator, when either it or your hands are wet. This generator is not waterproof , so it should NEVER be used in a place exposed to rain, snow or water sprays.
The generator should be ground to prevent electric shocks. Please connect a length of heavy wire between the generator’s ground terminal and an external ground device, ground rod or stake – minimum 200mm deep.
Do not connect any equipment to the generator before you start it.
WARNING
Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for start up. Do not exceeded the current limit specified for any one socket.
Charging the battery Battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. Protect your eyes, skin and clothing. In case of contact, flush thoroughly with water and get prompt attention, especially if your eyes are affected. Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which can flames or sparks near a battery, especially during charging. Charge the battery in a fully ventilated area.
WARNING
Know how to stop the generator quickly, and understand how to operate all of the controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator without proper instruction.
Always wear a helmet, safety shoes and proper clothing. Keep pets and children away from the generator when it is in operation.

PREPARATION BEFORE START

Selection and handling of fuel

  • Only light diesel fuel can be used.
  • The fuel must be filtered .
  • Fuel should be free of water or dust because these can contaminate the fuel injection system.
  • Do not overfill the tank beyond the top of the red plug inside the fuel tank filter, use fuel gauge on top of tank.
  • Do not smoke and allow sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.
  • Do not spill fuel when refueling, make sure the filter cap is securely closed.

Selection and handling of oil

  • Check oil level before every operation.
  • Set the generator on a level surface.
  • Open the door to find the oil dip stick.
  • To check the oil level, simply dip the dipstick into the pan. Do not screw in the dipstick when checking.

NOTICE
Nothing effects the performance and durability of the generator more than the oil you use. If inferior oil is used or if your engine oil is not changed regularly, the risk of piston seizure, piston ring sticking and accelerated wear of the cylinder liner, bearings and other moving components increase significantly.

  • Make sure to check the oil level and to refill with oil to the specified level before starting the generator, even though it is equipped with a low oil pressure warning system.
  • If your generator doesn’t start by the 5th attempted or starts and cuts out, your oil level is to low and needs to topped up.

NOTICE
Oil should be changed after the first 20 hours (or 1 month) of use and then every 3 months or 100 hours of use.
Be sure to drain the oil while the engine is warm but not hot . It is difficult to drain the oil completely after cooling.
WARNING
NEVER add or attempt to change oil into the generator while the engine is running.
Check air filter

  • Loosen the wing nut, detach the cover of air cleaner and remove the element. Do not wash air cleaner element with detergent . Use water or petrol (MUST allow to dry before replacing).
  • The air cleaner element must be changed when the output of engine decreases or the color of exhaust is abnormal.
  • Never run the generator without the air cleaner element. This may cause rapid engine wear.
  • Reattach the cover of air cleaner and tighten the wing nut.

Ensure no load on generator

  • Turn off the main circuit breaker and any other loads.
  • Be sure to turn off the main circuit breaker before starting the generator. If the switch is not on the “OFF“ position, sudden application of load could be very dangerous, when the diesel engine is started.
  • The generator should be earthed to prevent electric shocks. (Recommended).

Handling of dual voltage type generator

  • Operation of change over switch: The AC circuit breaker on the control panel must be set to ‘OFF’ position before running the machine. After starting the generator, allow the speed to reach rated RPM and then turn the AC circuit breaker to the “ON” position, so that the receptical sockets can be used for operating equipment.
  • NEVER try to switch between voltages when the AC circuit breaker is ON and equipment plugged IN.
  • Set the main AC circuit breaker to the “OFF” position when using the 12v DC power supply.

Check for Airlock
WARNING

The FUEL and engine OIL are drained off by factory prior to transportation. Generators are dry for storage.

  • Check for airlock in fuel pipeline, and find whether there is air mixed into the pipeline, if yes, drain away the air from the pipeline before refuel and start the diesel engine.
  • Fuel filter should be minimum 75% full, if not then air may be present in system.
  • The method to remove is, loosen the 17mm gland nut connection between injecting pump and high pressure brass pipeline, put run lever to “RUN” position and turn over the engine until fuel starts to jet out.
  • Replace and re-tighten 17mm gland and repeat the process if engine still does not start.

OPERATION

Low oil warning system

  • Device works to stop the engine automatically when the oil pressure falls below the regulatory level and will prevent engine seizure when the engine oil is running low or engine pressure is lost.
  • The oil temperature will rise high if the engine is operated with insufficient engine oil. On the other hand, too much oil is dangerous because the oil may combust and cause a sudden and excessive rise in engine rpm, so before operating the machine each day be sure to check the oil and fill oil to the specified level if necessary.

Opening the cabinet door and cover.
Opening the cabinet door and raise the door and check daily.

  1. Turn the handle anticlockwise to open cabinet door.
  2. Turn the handle clockwise to lock cabinet door.

Break-in operation
While your generator is still new, application of heavy loads may shorten the life of the engine. Follow the breakin procedures during the first 20 hours.

  1. Avoid applying any heavy load during the break-in period.
  2. Change engine oil regularly. Change the engine oil every 20 hours or one month after the initial use, and every 3 months or 100 hours thereafter.

Starting the generator
