WPE DIESEL GENERATORS
position, sudden application of load could be very
dangerous, when the diesel engine is started.
– The generator should be earthed to prevent electric
shocks. (Recommended).
Handling of dual voltage type generator
– Operation of change over switch: The AC circuit
breaker on the control panel must be set to 'OFF'
position before running the machine. After starting
the generator, allow the speed to reach rated RPM
and then turn the AC circuit breaker to the "ON"
position, so that the receptical sockets can be used
for operating equipment.
– NEVER try to switch between voltages when the AC
circuit breaker is ON and equipment plugged IN.
– Set the main AC circuit breaker to the "OFF" position
when using the 12v DC power supply.
Check for Airlock
WARNING
The FUEL and engine OIL are drained off by factory
prior to transportation. Generators are dry for
storage.
– Check for airlock in fuel pipeline, and find whether
there is air mixed into the pipeline, if yes, drain away
the air from the pipeline before refuel and start the
diesel engine.
– Fuel filter should be minimum 75% full, if not then air
may be present in system.
– The method to remove is, loosen the 17mm gland
nut connection between injecting pump and high
pressure brass pipeline, put run lever to "RUN"
position and turn over the engine until fuel starts to jet
out.
– Replace and re-tighten 17mm gland and repeat the
process if engine still does not start.
OPERATION
Preheater Feature
This generator is equipped with a Preheater button
function for cold temperatures less than 0°C, this feature
is designed to warm the engine and oil up first using
the 12v DC power provided from the battery prior to the
engine being cranked over.
If the outside temperature is less than 0°C it is
recommended to use the preheater function button first
before starting the engine.
1. Turn the Ignition key to the 'ON' position
2. Press and hold the preheater button for minimum 5
secs until the solid red illumination light appears
3. Release the button and start generator normally
using key or remote (Wireless remote models Only)
If the generator fails to start repeat steps 1-3 maximum 3
times only, if the generator doesnt start after 3 attempts
contact your local service agent.
Low oil warning system
– Device works to stop the engine automatically when
the oil pressure falls below the regulatory level and
will prevent engine seizure when the engine oil is
running low or engine pressure is lost.
– The oil temperature will rise high if the engine is
operated with insufficient engine oil. On the other
hand, too much oil is dangerous because the oil may
combust and cause a sudden and excessive rise in
engine rpm, so before operating the machine each
day be sure to check the oil and fill oil to the specified
level if necessary.
Low Oil Warning Light
Your generator is equipped with a low oil warning light.
If the event the light is illuminated 'Solid Red' then your
generator requires oil to be added immediately.
1. Stop running application immediately and turn off
engine and allow to cool for approx 10-15mins.
2. Remove oil level dipstick and clean.
3. Add oil, using an oil funnel (not provided) and check
using oil level dipstick (as good general rule oil is full
when it can been visually seen on the middle/upper
threads of the port). If using the oil dipstick NEVER
screw in oil level dipstick to take a reading simply rest
against top of the port and view reading.
4. Screw back in oil level dipstick
5. Run the engine for 10mins without any load allowing
the oil to fully circulate.
6. Check oil level again
Failure to add the recommended oil capacity may result
in increased engine wear and(or) damage to the engine.
Opening the cabinet door and cover.
Opening the cabinet door and raise the door and check
daily.
1. Turn the handle anticlockwise to open cabinet door.
2. Turn the handle clockwise to lock cabinet door.
