WPE DIESEL GENERATORS
OPERATION

5. If the starter motor doesn’t engage and turn over the
engine after 10 seconds, please wait for about 30
seconds before attempting to start again and repeat
this process. .
WARNING
Please Note: NEVER hold the key in the start position for
more than 10 secs, release and try again if the engine does
not start first time otherwise damage can occur to starter
motor.
If the starting motor is run for too long it will flatten the
battery and the generator will not start (Canopy type)
Battery
Check the level of the fluid in the battery once every
month. When the level drops to the lower upper mark
replenish with distilled water up to the upper mark.
If battery fluid is low, the engine may fail to start because
too little electricity is reaching the starter motor. Always
keep the fluid level between the upper level and lower
level.
If too much battery fluid is applied, the fluid may spill and
corrode the surrounding parts. DO NOT over fill.
Batteries are only covered by a 1 year warranty from
original date of purchase.
Operating your generator
1. Warm up the engine without load for about 3 minutes.
2. Our generator is equipped with low oil warning
system. The engine will stop automatically in case
of low oil pressure or a lubrication oil shortage. The
engine will stop immediately if restarted without a
lubrication oil refill. To check the oil level and refill
3. Do not loosen or readjust either the engine speed
limiting bolt or fuel injection limiting bolt (They have
been factory set) otherwise performance and fuel
economy will be affected.
Check during operation
1. Any abnormal sound or vibration?
2. The engine misfiring or running rough.
3. What about the color of the exhaust gas? (Is it black
or too white?)
If you notice any of the above phenomenon, stop the
engine and consult your nearest dealer or contact
technical support on 44(0)1942 715 407.
AC Operation
1. Start the engine and make sure the ‘GREEN’ pilot
lamp turns on. If it does not, the filament may be
burnt out.
2. The speed of generator must reach rated speed
(lever at top).
3. Generator can load when the indicator of voltmeter
shows at 240±10% (50Hz) on the panel of control box.
4. Plug in the appliance.
WARNING
Do not start two or more machines simultaneously.
Start them one by one. Do not use floodlights
together with other machines.
5. Be sure that all pieces of equipment are in good
working condition before connecting them to the
generator.
6. If an appliance or piece of equipment begins to
operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops
suddenly, turn off the generator immediately. Then
disconnect the appliance and examine it for signs of
malfunction.
7. If overloading of the circuit trips the AC circuit
protector, reduce the electrical load on the circuit,
and wait a few minutes before resuming operation .
8. If the LCD display voltmeter is too low or too high,
stop the machine and examine it for cause of fault..
DC Operation
The DC terminal may be used for charging 12V
automotive type batteries only.
1. When using automotive-type batteries with battery
cables, be sure to disconnect the minus pole battery
cable from the battery before charging.
2. Start the engine.
3. Connect the charging cable to the battery terminals
and the DC terminals of generator.
Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive
generator terminal. Do not reverse the charging
cables, or serious damage to the generator and/or
battery may occur.
Do not allow the free ends of the cable to touch each
other. If this occurs, it will be short circuit the battery
When a large capacity battery is charged, excessive
current flows(the value varies depending on the
discharging condition) , and the fuse for the direct
current will blow.
4. Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks,
flames and cigarettes well away. To prevent the
possibility of creating a spark near the battery,
always connect the charging cables to battery first
and only then to the generator. When disconnecting,
