OPERATING THE DIESEL GENERATOR
10
2-4.2 Battery
1. Insert key into ignition and put it in the “off” position.
2. Put the speed handle in the “Run” position.
3. Turn the start switch clockwise to the “START” position.
4. After the diesel engine is started, remove your hand from the switch handle;
the switch will automatically reset itself to the “ON” position.
5. If the engine is not starting after 10 seconds of cranking, wait about 15
seconds before trying it again. If you crank too long, the voltage of the
battery will drop. This can lead to improper ignition. When the diesel engine
is operating, let the ignition retain on the “ON” position.
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 Notice
：
All of our units come with a
maintenance free battery. You do not
need to add any battery acid.
