position, so that the receptical sockets can be used
for operating equipment.
– NEVER try to switch between voltages when the AC
circuit breaker is ON and equipment plugged IN.
– Set the main AC circuit breaker to the “OFF” position
when using the 12v DC power supply.
Check for Airlock
WARNING
The FUEL and engine OIL are drained off by factory
prior to transportation. Generators are dry for
storage.
– Check for airlock in fuel pipeline, and find whether
there is air mixed into the pipeline, if yes, drain away
the air from the pipeline before refuel and start the
diesel engine.
– Fuel filter should be minimum 75% full, if not then air
may be present in system.
– The method to remove is, loosen the 17mm gland
nut connection between injecting pump and high
pressure brass pipeline, put run lever to “RUN”
position and turn over the engine until fuel starts to jet
out.
– Replace and re-tighten 17mm gland and repeat the
process if engine still does not start.
OPERATION
Low oil warning system
– Device works to stop the engine automatically when
the oil pressure falls below the regulatory level and
will prevent engine seizure when the engine oil is
running low or engine pressure is lost.
– The oil temperature will rise high if the engine is
operated with insufficient engine oil. On the other
hand, too much oil is dangerous because the oil may
combust and cause a sudden and excessive rise in
engine rpm, so before operating the machine each
day be sure to check the oil and fill oil to the specified
level if necessary.
Opening the cabinet door and cover.
Opening the cabinet door and raise the door and check
daily.
1. Turn the handle anticlockwise to open cabinet door.
2. Turn the handle clockwise to lock cabinet door.
Break-in operation
While your generator is still new, application of heavy
loads may shorten the life of the engine. Follow the break-
in procedures during the first 20 hours.
1. Avoid applying any heavy load during the break-in
period.
2. Change engine oil regularly. Change the engine oil
every 20 hours or one month after the initial use, and
every 3 months or 100 hours thereafter.
3. If using is hot weather or high loads change oil 100
hours or 1 month.
Starting the generator
Recoil start (Open Frame Type Only)
1. Open the fuel cock (at the “ON” position).
2. Put the engine speed lever in the “RUN” position.
3. Pull out the recoil starting handle.
4. Pull out the handle to the point where your hands
feel strong resistant and then return it to the initial
position.
5. Push down the decompression lever. (It will return
automatically when the recoil starter is pulled).
6. Pull out the recoil starting handle briskly with both
hands.
7. Do not allow the handle grip to snap back against
the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the
starter.
WARNING
NEVER pull out or touch the recoil when the diesel
engine is running, otherwise it will damage the
engine. (open frame type only)
8. In cold weather, when diesel engine is difficult to
start, remove the red plug from the rocker arm cover
and add 2 cc of engine oil.
9. Replace the red plug before starting.
10. Always keep the red plug in the cover except
when adding oil, otherwise rain , dirt and other
contaminants may enter the engine and cause
accelerated wear of internal engine parts. This in
turn can cause serious engine problems.
Electric Start
1. Turn ignition key clockwise to ‘ON’ position.
2. Put the engine speed lever in the “RUN” position.
3. Turn the ignition key clockwise to “Start” position.
4. Release your hand from the key as soon as the
engine starts and let the key return automatically to
initial ‘ON’ position.
