3. PREPERATION FOR STARTING
3.1 Selection and Handling of the fuel
Selection of fuel
Only use standard specification diesel, this can be red or white
Keep dust and water out of the fuel
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.
Do not overfill
Overfilling can potentially be very dangerous. Always leave a 25mm gap above the
fuel level.
- Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.
- 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.
3.2 Check and Refill the Engine Oil
- Always check the engine oil level with the generator on a flat, level surface before starting
or refilling the machine.
- If an insufficient amount of engine oil is used, damage to the engine may result. It is also
dangerous to overfill the engine with oil, as in extreme cases, the piston oil control ring
cannot cope with the excess oil and the engine oil that passes to the combustion chamber
above the piston rings can combust and the engine may over-rev highly with no throttle
control, causing severe damage.
This generator is equipped with a low oil pressure warning system. This system will stop the
engine automatically when the oil pressure falls below the minimum pressure required. This
