OPERATING THE DIESEL GENERATOR

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.
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.
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 AVR to burn. For the rated speed of the generator,
please refer to Chapter 1, item 1-1 technical specification and data.
2. Observe the pointer of the voltmeter; it should point to 240 V 5% (60Hz).
Meanwhile put the switch in the GEN (generator) position. The AC voltage
from the socket of the power supply can be output.
3. 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 voltmeter is too high or too low, adjust the speed
accordingly. If there are problems, stop the generator immediately and fix
the issue.
4. During operation, the generator should be in a place that has very good
ventilation. Never cover the engine to solve a ventilation problem, as this
will damage your equipment.
Note: Do not start more than two devices simultaneously. Each
device should be started one by one to prevent overloading the
generator.
The generator should be running at 3600 revolutions per minute
in order to achieve the (60 Hz) frequency. The speed of the
engine can be adjusted from the speed governor.
