OPERATING THE DIESEL GENERATOR
Doing so will damage both the battery and the electric starter.
5. When charging the battery, the battery produces flammable gases. Do not
smoke, let 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, when you want to stop the
generators.
2. Move the air switch to “off” position. If not, the short circuit will appear.
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.
1. If you cannot stop the engine with a
load on it, then remove the load first
than stop the engine.
2. Press down on the brake handle.
3. If equipped with an electric starter,
turn the key to the “Off” position.
4. Put the fuel handle to the “S”
position.
4. Put the ignition key to “off” position. Then the generators will stop.
5. Move the speed level to “stop” position, which make sure to cut off the fuel
way.
6. Close the fuel valve. But don’t stall the generator by turning off the cock of
the fuel tank in case air enters fuel passages to cause difficult starting next
time.
