OPERATING THE DIESEL GENERATOR
engine starts. Otherwise it will be abnormal to electrify. ( If the engine fails to
start within five seconds, release the key and wait at least ten seconds before
attempting to start the engine again. If holding on starting, it will heat up motor.)
(7) As engine warms up, move the ignition key to " on " position. Otherwise the
fuel way will cause serious trouble.
2-4.2 Battery
NOTE
If you crank the starter too long, the battery may be drained too much to
provide enough energy for proper engine ignition.
Also, when the diesel engine is operating, let the key retain in the “ON”
position.
IMPORTANT NOTE
All of our units come with a maintenance free battery. You do not need to add
any battery acid.
2-5 Proper operation of the generator set
2-5.1 Operating the diesel engine
1. Pre-heat the diesel engine for 3 minutes under no load conditions.
2. First check the low oil pressure indication light in the panel. If the light is red,
please fill into enough oil.
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. Check the joint of oil passages,
fuel passages, water passages and air passages frequently to find out whether
there is any leakage. If any, remove at once. Otherwise serious troubles may
be caused.
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.
