2-5.1 Operating the diesel engine 
  
(1) Preheat the diesel engine for 3 minutes under 

no load conditions. 

(1) Preheat the diesel engine for 3 minutes under 

no load conditions. 

  
(2) First check the height of the lubricating oil 

level, if it is low, refill it. Our diesel engines are 
equipped with an alarm system that will notify 
you if the oil pressure is too low.    The alarm 
system will shut down the engine if the oil 
pressure is too low.Warning:Don’t check and 
fill engine oil when diesel is operating

(3) Do not adjust the speed limit regulation bolt or 

the fuel adjustment bolt.    These bolts have 
been set by the factory already, changing 
them will affect the properties of the engine 
performance.

2-5.2 Checks during engine operation 
 
(1) Check to see if there are abnormal noises.   
 
(2) Check to see if the performance is good or 

bad. 

 
(3) Check the color of the exhaust gases (whether 

it is too black or too white). If any of these 
conditions exist, stop the engine and find the 

cause of the problem.  If no problems are    
found, please contact your local dealer or our 
nearest company branch. 

 

2-6 Loading 

 
2-6.1 Load conditions   
Exert loads in accordance with the specified 
parameters. 
 
2-6.2 Output of electricity 
 
(1) When connecting devices to the generator, 

make sure to connect these devices in order.   
Connect the large loads onto the generator 
first.    If everything is functional, smaller loads 
can then be added.    If the generator shuts off, 
it may be because the load being drawn by all 
the various devices are too high.    In this 
event, decrease the number of small devices 
until everything is functional.    The total drawn 
power should not exceed the maximum output 
power of the generator.    Please see Table 
2-1 for technical specifications of what the 
generator can output.    In order to reset the 
generator after overdrawn power, let it sit for 
several minutes.

(2) During operation, the generator should be in a 

place that has very good ventilation.  Never 
cover the engine to solve a ventilation problem, 
as this will damage your equipment.

Table 2-1 

 

Note: Do not start more than two devices 
simultaneously. Each device should be started 
ona by one to prevent overloading the generator.

 

The generator should be running at 3600 
revolutions per minure in order to achieve the 
(60Hz) frequency. The speed of the engine can 
be adjusted from the speed governor.
