Operation Procedures

Starting-up the Machine

Before starting the generator:

1. Check Oil Level: Ensure the engine oil level is within the recommended range using the dipstick. Add oil if necessary.
2. Check Fuel: Verify there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
3. Start Lever: Ensure the start lever (choke) is in the correct position for starting (usually 'RUN' or 'ON').

Oil Filling

To fill the engine with oil:

1. Locate the oil fill cap and dipstick on the generator.
2. Remove the dipstick and clean it.
3. Insert the dipstick fully to check the oil level. The oil level should be between the 'MIN' and 'MAX' marks.
4. If the level is low, add the recommended oil (e.g., 15W40 or 10W30) until it reaches the 'MAX' mark. Do not overfill.
5. Reinsert the dipstick and secure the oil fill cap.

Connecting Battery Cable

To connect the battery:

1. Identify the negative (-) and positive (+) terminals of the battery and the generator.
2. Connect the negative battery cable to the negative terminal first.
3. Connect the positive battery cable to the positive terminal.
4. Ensure correct polarity is maintained.

Fuel Tank Filling

To fill the fuel tank:

1. Open the fuel tank cap.
2. Use the recommended fuel type (e.g., B7 Diesel).
3. Fill the tank, leaving adequate space for fuel expansion. Do not overfill.
4. Close the fuel tank cap securely.

Exhausting Air from Fuel Pipe (Priming)

This procedure removes air from the fuel system:

1. Locate the fuel filter and connect a hose to it.
2. Open the fuel valve.
3. Press the primer bulb repeatedly until fuel flows cleanly through the hose, indicating air has been purged.
4. Close the fuel valve.

Operation - START

To start the generator manually:

1. Turn the start key to the 'ON' position.
2. If the engine is cold, engage the pre-heater (if applicable) for a short period (less than 5 seconds).
3. Turn the start key to the 'START' position.
4. Release the key once the engine starts.

Operation - AUTO START

To operate the generator in automatic mode:

1. Set the operation switch to the 'AUTO' position.
2. Connect the generator to an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS).
3. The generator will start automatically when it detects a loss of main power and stop when main power is restored.

Operation - STOP

To stop the generator:

1. Turn the start key to the 'OFF' position.
2. Disconnect any connected loads.
3. Allow the engine to cool down before moving or performing maintenance.
4. In an emergency, press the red EMERGENCY STOP button.

Oil Change

Perform an oil change regularly (e.g., every 20 or 100 hours of operation):

1. Warm up the engine for a few minutes, then turn it off.
2. Locate the oil drain plug.
3. Place a suitable container under the drain plug.
4. Remove the drain plug and allow the old oil to drain completely.
5. Replace the drain plug and tighten it.
6. Fill the engine with the recommended type and amount of new oil.
7. Check the oil level using the dipstick.

Oil Filter Clean

Clean the oil filter as recommended (e.g., every 100 hours):

1. Locate the oil filter.
2. Use a filter wrench to remove the old filter.
3. Clean the filter element thoroughly.
4. Clean the filter housing.
5. Install the cleaned filter or a new one, ensuring it is properly seated.

Air Filter

Clean or replace the air filter as recommended (e.g., every 100 hours):

1. Open the air filter housing.
2. Remove the air filter element.
3. Clean the filter element (e.g., by tapping or using compressed air). Replace if damaged or excessively dirty.
4. Reinstall the filter element and close the housing.

Fuel Filter

Replace the fuel filter as recommended (e.g., every 100 hours):

1. Locate the fuel filter in the fuel line.
2. Disconnect the fuel lines from the filter.
3. Remove the old fuel filter.
4. Install the new fuel filter, ensuring correct flow direction.
5. Reconnect the fuel lines securely.
