USER GUIDE
PREPARATION BEFORE FIRST USE
For safety purposes the generator is drained of Fuel and Oil and the battery is drained
of battery acid by the factory prior to transport. You will need to add fuel and oil to the
generator and battery acid before using the generator for the first time.
ADDING FUEL
Only use diesel fuel. Place the generator on a level surface and unscrew the fuel tank cap.
Fill with Diesel only up to red maximum level mark. Do not overfill the fuel tank.
ADDING OIL
Engine oil is the most important factor in determining engine life. The use of poor-quality
oil or not changing the oil regularly can result in the excessive wear on the engine or even
the engine seizing up We recommend the use of 15W 40 grade oil. If you are regularly using
the generator in exceptionally cold environments (under 0
suitable.
Place the generator on a level surface. Unscrew oil inlet cap and fill with oil. You can check
the oil level using the oil dipstick. Do not force or rotate the dipstick in the engine.
ADDING BATTERY ACID
Battery acid can be purchased at a local automotive parts retailer. Fill the battery up to
the high-level mark. Do not over fill as battery acid is corrosive. The battery will have to be
trickle charged for approx. 24 hours to be fully charged.
BLEEDING THE SYSTEM
Once you have added fuel and oil you will need to check for air in the fuel and oil pipelines.
If there is an air bubble you can bleed the system by following the instructions below.
1. Loosen the connecting nut between the fuel injection pump and the fuel pipeline /
loosen the connecting nut between the oil pump and the oil pipeline.
2. Bleed the air from the system.
3. Re-connect and tighten the connecting nut.
NEW ENGINES
New engines need to break-in. The break in period for these engines is approx. 20 hours.
Do not overload the generator during the break-in period, maximum load should be
no more than 75% of maximum rated power. Change the oil after 20 hours running or 1
month. Thereafter the oil change is required every 100 hours or 3 months.
