OPERATING THE DIESEL GENERATOR
2-2 Preparation before operation
2-2.1 Fuel choices and fuel treatment
Use only light diesel fuel.
The fuel should be filtered clean. Never let dust and water mix with fuel in
the fuel tank. Otherwise it will clog the fuel lines and oil nozzles. It may
also damage your pressure pump.
WARNING: It is dangerous to overfill the fuel tank. Do not overfilI.
a. After purchasing fuel, put it into a drum and let it sit for 3-4 days
b. 3-4 days later, insert half of the fuel sucker into the drum, (water and
impurities stay in the lower portion of the drum)
NOTE
Never smoke near the opening of the
fuel tank. Do not let sparks get near
the fuel or fuel tank and do not
overfill tank. After filling, tighten the
fuel cap.
CAUTION
Do not overfill tank. After filling, tighten the fuel cap. Never let fuel or fuel tank
expose to sparks. Be careful not to spill fuel when filling, if any fuel is spilled,
make sure to clean up all the spilled fuel before starting engine.
2-2.2 Charging battery
We recommend the use of accumulators rated 20 hours shown in table 3.
Table 3 Specifications of recommended accumulators for electric start
Your generator cones with either a maintenance free or dry cell battery (see fig 4).
Ensure the battery is fully charged before installation to prevent damage to
electrical circuits. Use trickle charge for 8 hrs.
