3. Before Starting Your Generator
3.1 Selection and handling of diesel fuel
• Only use light diesel fuel
• Keep dust and water out of the fuel. Failure to do so will create problems
with the injection pump and nozzles.
• Do not overfill the tank beyond the red plug inside the fuel oil filter. Doing
so can be very dangerous.
Warning:
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off.
• Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near where you are
refueling or where the fuel is stored.
• Do not overfill the tank. Make sure that the fuel cap is securely tightened
after refueling.
• Do not spill any fuel. If fuel is spilled, make certain that the spilled fuel is
removed before starting the engine.
3.2 Check and refill engine oil
Warning:
• Before every start, make sure that your generator is on a leveled surface
and then check the oil level.
• The engine may be damaged if it is operated with insufficient oil.
• Too much oil may cause a sudden increase in engine speed also
damaging your generator.
Caution: Your diesel generator is equipped with a "low oil" warning system. This
system automatically stops the engine when the oil level becomes dangerously
low, preventing major damage to your generator. Do not rely totally on this
system for maintaining proper oil levels, as it only represents an emergency
situation and not a method for checking your generator's oil level.
