NOTE:
If you crank the starter to 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.
Check the height of the electrolytic solution in the battery once a month. lf the level of the liquid
drops to low, fill it with distilled water until it reaches the high mark. lf there is not enough elec-
trolytic solution, then the diesel engine cannot be started. 1t is important to keep the liquid level
between the high and low limits.
If the level in the battery is too high, the liquid may flow out and end up on surrounding parts resul-
ting in corrosion of these parts.
NOTE:
Avoid too much or to little of electrolytic solution. Check and fill it once a month.
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 height of the lubricating oil level, if it is low, refill it. Our diesel engines are equi-
pped with an alarm system that will notify you if the oil pressure is to low. The alarrn system will shut
down the engine if the oil pressure is to low.
3. Do not adjust the speed limit regulation nut or the fuel adjustment bolt. These bolts have been set
by the factory already, changing them will aff ect the porperties of the engine performance.
2-5.2 Checks during engine operation
1. Check to see if there are abnormal noises.
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). lf any of these condi-
tions exist, stop the engine and find the cause of the problem. lf no problems are found, please
contact your local dealer or our nearest company branch.
2-6 Loading
2-6.1 Load conditions
Exert loads in accordance with the specified
parameters.
2-6.2 Output of electricity
1 . Raise the revolutions per minute (turn the speed handle to the max setting) of the generator to
get the maximum power out of the generator. If not, the automatic voltage regulator device will
excite and doing this for long periods of time will cause the capacitar to burn.
2. For the rated speed of the generator, please refer to Chapter 1, ítem 1-1 technical specification
and data.
3. Observe the pointer of the voltmeter, it should point to 220V ± 5 % (50Hz). (For 60Hz set, it will be
240V ± 5% ). This is the reading of the voltage at the ac socket.
CAUTION:
Do not start more than two machines at the same time. The machines should be started
one ty one. Do not use the floodlight at the same time when using other devices.
4. When connecting devices to the generator, make sure to connect these devices in order. Connect
the large loads onto the generator first. If everything is functional, smaller loads can then be added.
If the generator shuts off, it may be because the load being drawn by all the various devices are too
high. In this event, decrease the number of small devices until everything is functional. The total
drawn power should not exceed the maximum output power of the generator. Please see Table 1-1
for technical specifications of what the generator can output. In order to reset the generator after
overdrawn power, let it sit for several minutes. If the indication of the voltemeter is too high or too
low, adjust the speed accordingly. If there are problems, stop the generator immediately and fix the
issue.
5. Make sure you are operating your generator in a well-ventilated area. The generator should never
be covered with anything to prevent overheating the generator.
2-6.3 Charging the battery
1. For the electric starter generator, the 12V battery is automatically charged through the regulator
on the generator when it is running.
2. If the generator is not used for long periods of time, the battery should be disconnected to avoid
energy loss from the battery.
3. Do not connect the negative and positive terminals of the battery together at any time. Doing so
will damage the battery.
4. Do not reverse the polarities when attaching the battery cables to the battery. Doing so will
damage both the battery and the electric starter.
5. When charging the battery, the battery produces flammable gases. Do not smoke, flames, and
sparks get near the battery while it is charging as this may cause a fire. To avoid sparking while
connecting the cables to the battery, first, connect the cables to the battery then to the motor. To
disconnect battery cables, first disconnect the motor end of the cable.
2-7 Stopping the generator
1. Take the electrical load off the generator.
2. Tum generator air switch off.
3. Put the speed handle in the "RUN" position and let the engine run for 3 minutes after unloading.
Do not stop the diesel engine immediately let it warm down. Stopping the diesel engine suddenly
may raise the temperature of the engine abnormally and lock the nozzle and damage the diesel
engine.
4. Press down on the brake handle.
