OPERATING THE DIESEL GENERATOR
Engine oil is the most important factor in determining the life of your generator
engine. If you use poor engine oil or if you don't change the oil regularly, the
piston and cylinder will wear easily or seize up. Also, the life of the other parts in
your engine such as bearings, and other rotating parts will shorten
considerably.
NOTE
Although there is an alarm system to check for low oil pressure, it is always a
good idea to check the amount of oil inside the engine. If the oil level is low, fill it
before starting the engine.
A good time to drain the oil from the engine is when the diesel engine is still hot. If
the engine is fully cooled, it is more difficult to drain all the oil out or some impurities
will remain in the engine.
WARNING: DO NOT fill engine oil when the machines are
running.
The following procedures help you start our generator with ease:
1. If dry battery comes with your generator, please add enough acid to required
level;
2. Fully charge battery prior to cranking diesel engine;
3. Add engine oil to the required level(use the dipstick to check);
4. Add enough diesel in FUEL TANK, turn knob fuel shutoff valve (down) ON
position. This is under FUEL TANK.
5. Pull off the fuel hose connected to the fuel pump and LET FUEL DRAIN
OUT FREELY, then replace the fuel hose;
6. Connect fully charged battery to generator;
7. DO NOT apply any load at this point and put the CIRCUIT BREAKER to the
OFF position;
8. Push RED lever next to oil level check stick to the RUN position;
9. Turn on to the START position and release the electronic key to the ON
position(for electric start);
10. Turn electronic key to the ON position, and then press the "ON" button of
the remote starter key to start the genset(for remote start).
11. In cold winter area please turn key counterclockwise to HEAT and hold
about 10 seconds to preheat cold air, then turn clockwise to START engine,
