OPERATING THE DIESEL GENERATOR
DO NOT fill engine oil when the machines are running.
2-2.3 Checking the air filter
(1) Open the cover of generators, you will
see the air filter assembly.
(2) Loosen the butterfly nut of air filter,
take the cover of the air filter off and take
the air filter element out.
NOTE

Do not use detergent to wash the air filter element.

When the performance of the engine decreases or when the color of the
exhaust gases is bad, exchange the filter element.

Never start the engine without the air filter as foreign objects may enter the
intake and damage the engine.
(3) After replacing the air filter element, replace the cover and tighten the
butterfly nut firmly.
If not replace the air filter immediately, the dust in the air will not be adsorbed.
In that case, it stands a good chance to block the air way.
2-2.4 Check the oil way
The fuel and oil in a new engine is drained before sold. Before you start the
engine, please fill the fuel tank and engine oil first. Then, check to see if there
are air bubbles in the engine. If there are, follow these procedures. Loosen the
connecting nut between the oil injection pump and oil pipe. Bleed the air from
the system until there are no more bubbles. Then replace the connecting nut
and tighten it.
