The following manual is only a guide to assist you and is not a complete or comprehensive manual 
of ali aspects of maintaining and repairing your generator. The equipment you have purchas d is a 
complex piece of machinery. We recommend that you consult with a dealer if you have doubts or 
concerns as to your experience or ability to properly maintain or repair your equipment. You will 
save time and the inconvenience of having to go back to the store if you choose to write or call us 
concerning missing parts, service question ,operating ad vice, and/or assembly questions. 
Our air-cooled diese) generators have sorne of the following feature:

• Lightweight construction
• Air cooled
• Four-stroke diesel internal combustion engine
• Direct fuel injection system
• Recoil starter or an optional electric starter
• Large fuel tank
• Automatic voltage stabilizer
• NFB circuit protector
• AC and DC outputs
• Low oil pressure sensor

The air-cooled diese! generators are widely used when electrical power is scarce. Our generators 
provide a portable mobile solution in supplying power for field operations during project construc-
tion. Sorne other known applications include pipeline construction and metal welding when electri-
cal power is not available. 
This manual will explain how to operate and service your generator set. 
lf you have any questions or suggestions about this manual. please contact your local dealer or us 
directly. Consumers should notice that this manual might differ slightly from the actual product as 
more improvements are made to our products. Some of the pictures in this manual may differ slight-
ly Jrom the actual product as well. We reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice 
and without incurring any obligation.

2. OPERATING THE DIESEL GENERATOR

 
2-1 General main points of safety during operation of the generator set.

In order to operate the generator set safely,please follow all the instructions provided in this manual 
carefully . Doing so otherwise may lead to accidents and or equipment damage. 

2-1.1 Fire prevention 

The proper fuel for the diesel generator set is light diese! fuel . Do not use gasoline, kerosene and or 
other fuels other than light diesel fuel. Keep all flammable fuels away from the generator as the 
generator may spark and ignite these gases. In order to prevent fires from occurring and to provide 
enough ventilation for people and the machine ,keep the diesel generator at least 1.5meters or 5 feet 
away from buildings and or other equipment.Always operate your diesel generator on a level site .lf 
the generator is operated on an incline , the lubricating system within the engine will not perform 
well and may lead to failure of the engine. 

2-1.2 Prevention from inhaling exhaust gases

Never inhale exhaust gases emitted by the engine. The exhaust gases contain toxic carbon monoxi-
de.Never operate your generator in places with poor ventilation.ln order to operate this machinery 
indoors , a suitable ventilation system for the building is required to draw the poisonous exhaust 
gases out. 

2-1.3 Prevention from accidental bums

Never touch the muffler and its cover when the diesel engine is running .Never touch the muffler and 
cover after the diesel engine has been used, as the muffler remains hot for a good period of time. 

2-1.4 Electris shock and short circuits

Never touch the generator if the generator is wet.Also never touch the generator if your hand is 
wet.Never operate your generator if the weather conditions call for any type of precipitation such as 
rain ,snow or fog .To prevent electrical shocks,the generator should be grounded. U se a lead to 
connect the grounding end of the generator to the grounding surface of choice.

NOTE:

 When connection devices to the generator, make sure all other devices are rated lower than 

the generators output. Any generator socket should not be overloaded over its regulated limit.

2-1.5 Other safety points

Before operating this generator, all operators should have a good knowledge of how to break the 
circuit if any accidents occur .Also,all operators should be familiar with all the switches and func-
tions of the generator before using tkis machine .While operating the generator , wear safe shoes 
and suitable clothes during operation.Always keep children and animals away from the generator. 

2-1.6 Battery

The electrolytic liquid of the battery contains sulfuric acid .In order to protect your eyes,skin and 
clothing ,wear protective gear when working with the battery.lf you come in contact with the elec-
trolytic liquid, wash it immediately with clean water.Also, if the electrolytic liquid comes in contact 
with your eyes,see a doctor immediately. 

2-2 Preparation before operation 
2-2. l Fuel choices and fuel treatment

Fuel tank 

Use only light diesel fue l. The fuel should be filtered clean. Never Jet dust and water mix with fuel in 
the fuel tank. Otherwi se it will clog the fuel lines and oil nozzles. It may also damage your pressure 
pump. 

NOTE:

 lt is dangerous to overfill the fuel tank. Never exceed the red piston in the filter. 

a. After purchasing fuel, put it into a drum and let it sit for 3-4 days.
b. 3-4 days later, insert half of the fuel sucker into the drum (water and impurities stay in the lower 
portion of the drum).

Air filter element

Do not wash the air filter. The element is made of dry material, which does not permit washing. 
When the output of the diesel engine is bad or the color of the exhaust gas is abnormal, replace the 
air filter element. Never start the diesel engine without the air filter.

NOTE:

 Never smoke near the opening of the fuel tank. Do not let sparks get near the fuel or fuel tank 

and do not overfill tank. After filling, tighten the fuel cap.

2-2.2 Fill engine oil
Fubrication Oil Filling Inlet 

Put the generator set in level state. Fill the oil into the oilfilling inlet. At the time of checking the oil 
level, it is necessary only to lightly insert the oil ruler. Please pay attention to that you should not 
rotate the oil ruler. 

Engine oil is the most important factor in deterrnining the life of your generator engine.If you
use poor engine oil or if you don't change the oil regularly,the piston and cylinder will wear
easily or seize up.Also,the life of the other parts in your engine such as bearings,and other
rotating parts will shorten considerably.

Although there is an alarm system to check for low oil pressure, it is always a good idea to check 
the amount of oil inside the engine. lf the oil level is low, fill it before starting the engine. A good time 
to drain the oil from the engine is when the diese! engine is still hot. If the engine is fully cooled, it is 
more difficult to drain all the oil out or sorne impurities will remain in the engine.

WARNING:

 Don't fill engine oil when diesel is operating.

2-2.3 Check air filter

(1) Loosen the butterfly nut, take the cover of the air filter off and take the air filter element out. 

Do not use detergent to wash the air filter element. When the performance of the engine decreases 
or when the color of the exhaust gases is bad,exchange the filter element. Never start the engine 
without the air filter as foreign objects may enter the intake and damage the engine.
