3. PREPARATION for STARTING

 DO NOT refill tank while engine is running or HOT.

 Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the
engine is refuelled or where the fuel is stored.
 Do not overfill the diesel tank and make sure the filler cap is
securely closed after refuelling.
 Take care not to spill fuel when refuelling. If any fuel is spilled,
make sure the area is clean and dry before starting the engine.

Wear suitable PPE, suggested but not limited too

3.1. Selection and handling of fuel.

3.1.1. Selection of fuel.

3.1.1.1. Only use standard specification diesel, this can be red or white.
3.1.1.2. Keep dust and water out of the fuel.
3.1.1.3. When filling the fuel tank from drums, make sure that no dust or water is
mixed in with the fuel. This can cause serious damage to the fuel injection pump
or the injector nozzle.
3.1.1.4. Do not overfill. Overfilling can potentially be very dangerous. Diesel can
expand in hot weather and overflow
3.1.1.5. Always leave a 25mm gap above the fuel level.

 Always check the engine oil level with the generator on a flat,
level surface before starting or refilling the machine.

Page 8
  If an insufficient amount of engine oil is used, damage to the
engine may result.
 Do not overfill the engine with oil.
 This generator is equipped with a low oil pressure switch this
system will stop the engine automatically when the oil
pressure falls below the minimum pressure required.
 This helps prevents damage such as bearing seizures etc.
However, this should not be relied upon and the engine oil
level should be checked and topped up if required, daily.

Wear suitable PPE, suggested but not limited too

3.2. Check and refill the engine oil.

3.2.1. To ensure the generator maintains an

optimum performance and the life of the
generator is as long as possible, it is important
to use the correct engine oil – SAE10W/30 –
SAE15W/40 (API CH-4/CF/SJ/SL diesel engine
oil or higher grade) and change after the first
20 hours, then every 100 hours.
3.2.2. If the correct engine oil is not used, or the
engine oil is not replaced every 100 hours, as
required, the risk of crankshaft bearing failure,
piston seizure, piston ring sticking and
accelerated wear of the cylinder liner, main bearing and failure of other moving
components increases significantly. The generator lifespan will be greatly reduced if oil
level and oil changes are reduced.
3.2.3. Remove oil filler cap and check engine oil level
3.2.4. If oil level is below the lower level line, refill with SAE
API CH-4/CF/SJ/SL diesel engine oil on dipstick, or to
the top of filler neck. N.B. do not screw oil filler in the
oil filler cap when checking oil level.
3.2.5. Change contaminated oil.

3.3. Service the Air Cleaner.

 Do not wash air filter with detergent.

 Replace the air filter if the engine output decreases or
excessive exhaust smoke is noticed.
 Never run the generator without the air filter, otherwise
rapid engine wear will result.

Page 9
 3.3.1. Remove the access
panel to reveal air filter
cover.
3.3.2. Undo the nut (anti-
clockwise) and remove the
air cleaner cover and take
out the element.
3.3.3. Clean the air filter.
3.3.4. Reattach the air filter
cover and screw on the
nut.

3.4. Checking the Generator before start up.

 Be sure to turn off the main breaker switch before starting. The
generator should be earthed to prevent electric shocks.
 Turn off the main breaker switch and remove all loads.

 Before starting the engine, be sure to switch OFF any appliances

connected to it.
 Ensure that the breaker switch is OFF before switching between
115v/230v.

3.5. Running-in periods of Operation.

3.5.1. The first 20 hours are the break-in period of the engine. For this reason, it is
important to follow the following instructions during this period.
3.5.1.1. Warm up the engine 5 minutes after the initial starting, before applying load.
3.5.1.2. Avoid applying loads above 3kw during the first 20 hours of operation.
3.5.1.3. It is important to replace the engine oil on time.
3.5.1.4. Replace the engine oil whilst the engine is warm, after 20-hours running.

before starting.
 Explosive gases are given off when charging battery. Only charge
in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and naked flames.

3.6.1. Battery.
3.6.1.1. When you first install the battery, ensure that the battery's polarity is the
same as the generator's battery leads - Black = negative, Red = positive.
3.6.1.2. Using a voltmeter - check the voltage is 12.3V+, if lower, the battery must be
charged.
3.6.1.3. Check that the voltage is correct every month. The battery should be
between 12.5v and 13.6v. When the engine is running it should re-charge the
battery.
3.6.1.4. Make sure battery is free from damage and is not leaking. If battery shows
signs of damage or leaking – DO NOT continue to use. Instead replace battery
immediately.
3.6.1.5. Make sure that all battery acid spills are correctly cleaned up straight away.
3.6.1.6. The battery should be stored in a charged condition.
3.6.1.7. The battery is a 12 volt 36Ah sealed lead acid battery and requires no
maintenance other than;
3.6.1.7.1. Ensure battery terminals are;
3.6.1.7.2. Kept clean.
3.6.1.7.3. Kept tight.
3.6.1.7.4. Covered to prevent short circuiting.
3.6.1.8. If the battery voltage is too low, it will require charging before use.
