PREPARE FOR STARTING
Caution: The machine has drained lube oil when it is delivered
from factory. Fill the crankcase with oil before starting.
3.2 Inspection for the Diesel Generator
3.2.1 When the oil pressure goes down below safe level,
the system will automatically shut off the engine to avoid
damaging while the ignition key is still in the ON position.
The engine will not start until the oil is refilled to proper
level. If the diesel engine is running with insufficient lube
oil, the oil temperature will raise. It is dangerous if there is
too much oil. This may cause lube oil to burn. It can then
cause the revolution speed of the diesel engine to
increase suddenly and result in abnormal running. For
this purpose, it is necessary to check the lube oil level
and the level should maintain between the low and high
level.
3.2.2 Turn off main switch and disconnect all load (For ex:
lamp and switch of motor). Check for damaged parts,
loose or missing nuts and bolts. If problems occur, please
do not start the engine, and consult our dealer.
Before starting the generator set, be sure to turn the main
switch to the OFF position. If the switch is not at the OFF
position, it can cause damage to the generator and seize
up the start motor with load to start.
WARNING: The generator should be started
without load.
3.3 Bleed Air from the Fuel Line
If the engine is having difficulty starting and the
fuel and oil level are acceptable, the problem can
usually be traced to air bubbles trapped in the
fuel line. The air should be discharged.
The correct method is:
Turn the fuel cock beneath the fuel tank to the
OFF position. Disconnect the fuel distributing
pipe from high pressure pump. Turn the valve to
the ON position and allow fuel to drip from the
fuel line to a small container. Reattach the fuel
line to the fuel pump when no air bubbles appear.
3.4 Before starting the generator, make sure
you have done the following:
a. The generator is positioned on a firm level
surface.
b. The generator has been grounded.
c. Check the lube oil level.
d. Any spilled fuel has been wiped off.
e. The ventilation is good.
4 Start Generator Set
4.1 Recoil Start
For the detailed start steps, please refer to
the operation diagram on the next page.
NOTE: On a cold day when it is difficult to
start the diesel engine, screw out the screw
plug on the cover of the diesel engine and fill
in 2 ml of lube oil.
CAUTION: When filling oil, the plug
screw should be screwed tightly on the
cover to prevent dust and moisture
sucked into the cylinder and can cause
accelerated wear of internal parts.
