3. Checking Generator Prior to Use
5. Connecting Consumers to the Generator
•
Check the fuel level and top up with
diesel fuel
if necessary. Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in
the filler neck).
• After refuelling make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely. Be careful not to spill fuel when refuelling
and
clean up any spilled or excess fuel
. Spilled fuel or fuel vapour can ignite when the engine is started.
• Do not fill above the fuel filter top.
• Check the engine oil level and top up if necessary as shown in
Fig.1
.

4. Starting the Generator
1.
Warm up the engine without the load for about 3 minutes.
2.
Open the Fuel Cock.
Recoil Start
3.
Put the starting switch into the "Run" position.
4.
Hold the starting/recoil handle loosely and pull the cord out it until
you feel resistance - then return it slowly.
5.
Push the decompression lever down and then release it.
6.
Hold the starting/recoil handle firmly - then pull the cord hard and
fast as far as it will go. Use two hands if necessary. Repeat the
process until the engine starts.
Electric Start
1.
Turn the ignition key to the "Start" position.
WARNING:
• Make sure there is no air in the fuel pipe when using the unit for the first time, starting the
unit or refuelling an empty tank. You can drain away air by loosening the connection
between the injection pump and pipeline then drain the air until the fuel comes out.
• Do not loosen or adjust either the engine speed limit bolt or fuel injection limit bolt. These
have been set to their optimum settings before leaving the factory.
• Never pull out the start handle when diesel engine is running. This is dangerous and can
damage the engine.
1.
Connect the machine you want to use to the AC socket.
Note:
Do not exceed the specified load limit of
the specified maximum AC output.
2.
Do not connect the generator to the household network as this may result in damage to the generator itself or to
other electrical appliances in your home
.
6. Stopping the Generator
1.
Before stopping the generator, allow it to run for approximately 3 minutes with no consumers so that it can "cool
down".
2.
Turn off the circuit breaker.
3.
Turn the key/ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
4
. Turn the fuel cock lever to the "CLOSED" position.
7. Transporting and Storage
• When transporting the generator, ensure the starting switch is set to the "OFF" position and that the fuel valve is
set to the "CLOSED3" position.
• Keep the generator level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapour or spilled fuel may ignite. Touching a hot engine can
cause serious burns or fires.
• Let the engine cool before transporting or storing the generator.
• Make sure not to drop or strike the generator when transporting. Do not place heavy objects on top of the
generator during transit, storage or operation.
Note:
To make it easier to start the generator in cold temperatures
remove the oil plug and add 2cc of engine oil before starting.
