4. Starting Your
Generator
Starting
a. Make sure there are no load connected
to the generator
b. Open the fuel cock (open type)
c. Turn the starting key clockwise to
“START” position.
d. Remove your hand from the key as soon
as the engine starts.
e. If the engine does not start after 10
seconds, wait 30 seconds before trying
to start it again.
f. If the engine does not start after 3
attempts, check the battery or call
Promate Service.
If the starter is working for too long,
the battery will go flat and the motor
will seize up. Always leave the
starting key at the “ON” position
when the engine is running.
5. Operating Your
Generator
5.1 Operating your generator
a. Let the engine run without load for 3
minutes.
b. This generator is equipped with a low oil
warning system. The engine will stop
automatically in case of low oil pressure
or a lubrication oil shortage. Check the
oil level and refill if necessary.
c. Do not loosen or adjust the engine
speed limiting bolt or fuel injection
limiting bolt. The generator performs
best at factory settings.
5.2 Checks during operation
Any abnormal sound or vibration?
The engine misfiring or running rough?
What about the color of the exhaust gas
(is it black or too white)?
*If you notice any abnormalities, discontinue
use and contact your Promate Service
immediately.
5.3 Loading your Generator
Set AC circuit breaker to “ON”. Pilot
lamp will illuminate, the speed of
generator must be at 220V-240V
(can be seen on the volt meter on
the control panel).
Insert the plug of the appliance to be
connected. Make sure they are
switched off at the onset then switch
them on one by one starting with
motorized appliances (e.g. air
conditioner) first followed by the
inductive appliances (e.g. rice
cooker, microwave) and finally small
appliances (e.g. lights).
Instruments which require high
starting currents and some kinds of
motors may not run even though
they are rated within the limit of this
generator. Please double check the
STARTING current needed to start
your appliance/device.
The circuit breaker shuts “OFF”
when the current exceeds the surge
output limit or when the applied
instrument is defective.
The running current of the
instruments should not exceed the
rated current showed on the socket,
or else it may damage the machine.
