OPERATING THE DIESEL GENERATOR
Knob handle
2-3 Checking the operation of the diesel engine
2-3.1 Low-pressure alarm system.
Diesel engines have a low-pressure sensor system where if the oil pressure
drops too low, the sensor will shut the engine off. The purpose of having this
system is to ensure that the engine does not seize up. If there is not enough oil
in the engine, the temperature of the oil will be raised too high. On the contrary,
if there is too much oil in the engine, the engine oil can slow the engine down
considerably.
2-3.2 How to open the case door/cover
(1) Open the case door: Pull the handle outward and open the door. Do these
checks daily.
(2) Loosen the outer cover bolt of the air filter
and outer cover of the oil nozzle, and then
check the air filter.
(3) Check the outer cover of the oil nozzle.
Loosen the butterfly nut and open the outer
cover.
2-3.3 Engine break in
When you purchase a brand new engine, the engine must be properly broken
in. The break in period is about 20 hours.
(1) Avoid overloading the engine when brand new
(2) Change the engine oil according to specifications. An oil change for a brand
new engine is about 20 hours or every month, an older engine, the oil change
is about 100 hours or three months.
If not breaking in, it will reduce the serving life, reliability and cost performance
of the engine. At last, the life of the generator also be shortened.
2-4 Starting the generator set
2-4.1 Starting.
(1) Make certain the generator is on a " FLAT " or " LEVEL SURFACE ". If the
engine is tilled, fuel spillage may result.
(2) Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Never start and stop the
generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on. Otherwise it will result
to short circuit, even break down the starter motor.
(3) Turn the Fuel Valve to the " ON " position. Otherwise fuel will be not enough
to start the generator.
(4). Push the speed level to " run " Position. If do not so, the start of generator
will be fail.
(5) Insert the ignition key to the “ off ” position.
(6) Electric Start: Turn the ignition key to the " Start " position and hold until
12
