186 X X

NONE: Recoil Start

E: Electric Start

F: Keyway Shaft

FP: Thread Shaft

FG: Taper Shaft

FS: Camshaft PTO

Model Name

Diesel engine coding begins with 3 digits: the 1st digit stands for number of cylinder head and the last
two digits for bore size in mm, e.g., 186 means one cylinder head and bore size is 86 mm. Three digits
are followed by letter F and/or by another letter that stands for the type of output shaft. The letter F also
means that an engine is air-cooled. If the coding ends up at a letter E, it means that an engine comes
with electric start.

The default stroke of 186 series diesel engine is 70mm. However, the stroke of a diesel engine may be
expanded from 70 mm to 72 mm. If it is true, a letter A will be used directly after letter F for telling
whether an engine is expanded.

2.6 Installation of diesel engine

2.6.1 Installation Conditions
(1) There must be a tight stationary foundation for the diesel engine to avoid vibrations or
movement when the engine is running. For prolonged engine life, consider using some type of
motor mount.
(2) Make sure that the centering position of output shaft is properly aligned.
(3) For diesel engine with thread shaft or taper shaft, make sure that matched machines must have
the same thread size or coned angle as output shaft of engine.
(4) For diesel engine with keyway output shaft, check whether the bearing hole (installation hole)
on the belt pulley and keyway output shaft are properly aligned and whether their dimensions match.
Also make sure that the bolt of the engine shaft is tightened to the proper torque specifications.
(5) When the engine is matched with other belt driven machines, the total desired belt distance
traveled by the driven wheel must equal the total distance traveled by the driver pulley. If this is not
properly calculated and matched, the desired speed on the driven pulley will be incorrect. The
diameter of driving belt pulley can be calculates as follows:

Diameter of driven machine x speed of driven machine

Diameter of engine belt pulley =
Diesel engine speed

(6) Make sure that the belt is tightened properly.

11
Note: If the belt is installed too tight, the engine will be overloaded and its bearings will wear at a high
rate leading to engine failure; if the belt is too loose, the belt will slip at high speed and high load
causing high pitch whistling noises.

2.6.2 Allowed clearance between belt wheel and engine

The belt pulley should be as close to the engine as possible. The values of L are tabulated in table 2.3.

 CHAPTER 3 OPERATING THE DIESEL GENERATOR

3.1 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. Otherwise, it may lead to accidents or equipment damage.

3.1.1 Fire prevention

The proper fuel for the diesel generator set is light diesel fuel. Do not use gasoline, kerosene or other
fuels other than light diesel fuel. Keep all flammable fuels away from the generator as it 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 1.5 meters away from buildings or other equipment.
Always operate your diesel generator on a level site. If the generator is operated on an incline, the
lubricating system within the engine will not perform well and may lead to engine failure.

3.1.2 Prevention from inhaling exhaust emissions

Diesel engine exhaust emissions have the potential to cause a range of health problems. Diesel engine
exhaust emissions (commonly known as diesel fumes) are a mixture of gases, vapors, liquid aerosols
and substances made up of particles. They contain the products of combustion including:

• carbon (soot);
• nitrogen;
• water;
• carbon monoxide;
• aldehydes;
• nitrogen dioxide;
• sulphur dioxide;
• polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

The carbon particle or soot content varies from 60% to 80% depending on the fuel used and the type of
engine. Most of the contaminants are adsorbed onto the soot. Petrol engines produce more carbon
monoxide but much less soot than diesel engines.

Never inhale exhausts emitted by the engine. The exhaust emissions contain toxic carbon monoxide,
nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and aldehydes. Never operate your generator in places with poor
ventilation. In order to operate this machinery indoors, a suitable ventilation system for the building is
required to draw the poisonous exhaust gases out.

3.1.3 Prevention from accidental burns

Never touch the muffler and its cover when the diesel engine is running. Never touch the muffler and
its cover immediately after the diesel engine is shut off, as the muffler remains hot for some time.

3.1.4 Electric 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 exposed to air in the field or outside buildings if the weather conditions
call for any type of precipitation such as rain, snow or fog. To avoid electrical shocks, the generator
should be grounded. Use a lead to connect the grounding terminal in the control panel of generator to
the grounding surface of choice. Please refer to Fig. 3.1 before operating generator.

16
 Note: When connecting devices to
the generator, make sure that the
power for all the devices is rated
lower than generator output. Any
of generator sockets should not be
overloaded above its regulated
limit.

the control panel

Fig. 3.1 Control Panel with Grounding Terminal

3.1.5 Other safety items

Before operating generator, all operators must be aware of put the CIRCUIT BREAKER to the OFF
position if any accidents occur. Also, all operators should be familiar with all the switches and their
functions of generator before using it. Wear safe shoes and suitable clothes during operation. Always
keep generator out of reach of children and animals.

3.1.6 Battery
The electrolytic liquid of battery (known as battery acid) contains sulfuric acid. In order to protect your
eyes, skin and clothing, wear protective glove and goggle when working with battery. If you contact
with electrolytic liquid in your skin, wash it immediately with clean water and soap; if you contact with
electrolytic liquid in your eyes, wash them immediately with distilled water, see a doctor as soon as
you can.

3.2 Preparation before operation

3.2.1 Fuel choices and fuel treatment
Only use light diesel fuel. The fuel must be filtered clean. Never let dust and water mix with fuel in the
fuel tank. Otherwise it will clog the fuel lines and oil nozzles. It may also damage your pressure pump.
It is dangerous to overfill fuel tank. Never exceed 90% scale of fuel gauge.

Fresh diesel from gas station may contain water. Please put it in a diesel container and let it sit at least
overnight, water and impurities will stay in the lower portion of container. Decant or suck top portion
of diesel in the container into fuel tank of generator.

Caution:
Do not overfill tank. After filling, tighten the fuel cap. Never let fuel or fuel tank expose to sparks.
Be careful not to spill fuel when filling. If any fuel is spilled, make sure to clean up all the spilled fuel
before starting engine.

3.2.2 Charging battery

We recommend the use of accumulators rated 20 hours shown in table 3.1.

17
Either deep-recycle maintenance free or dry battery (white/red color) comes with your generator (see
Fig. 3.2). You should use a trickle charge to fully charge your battery before you crank your generator
for the first time. If voltage level of battery is low, you may not start your generator. Long time
cranking may damage electric starter and engine.

Table 3.1 Specifications of recommended accumulators for electric start

Model Amps-hours
178F 24 ~ 26
186F 36 ~45

Fig. 3.2 Maintenance free battery (left) and dry battery (right), battery actual color is subject to
change without notice.

If it is dry battery, the battery must be filled with battery acid to required level. Acid can be purchased
at a local automotive supply store. To properly maintain your dry battery, check the height of the
battery acid once a month. If the level of the liquid drops too low, fill it with distilled water until it
reaches up to maximum level mark. If there is not enough battery acid, diesel engine cannot be started.
It is important to keep the liquid level between the high and low limits. If the level in the battery is too
high, the liquid may flow out and corrode surrounding parts.

3.2.3 Filling engine oil

Remove the dipstick from the engine, make sure the generator is on level ground and fill the engine
with SAE15W40 (warm weather) or SAE5W40 (cold weather) synthetic diesel engine oil. Put the
dipstick back into the hole to check the engine oil level (see Fig. 3.2).

The following procedures help you start our generator with ease:

1. If dry battery(WHITE/RED COLOR) comes with your generator, please add enough acid to

required level;

2. FULLY CHARGE BATTERY prior to cranking diesel engine;

3. Add engine oil to the required level (use oil plug to check); Mobil Delvac SAE 15W40 (warm

weather) or SAE 5W40 (cold weather) synthetic DIESEL ENGINE OIL is recommended;

4. Add enough diesel in fuel tank, turn knob fuel Shutoff valve (Down) ON position. On open

Frame this is under Fuel Tank, on enclosed Units this is on filter inside of the door;

5. Pull off the fuel hose connected to the fuel pump and LET FUEL DRAIN OUT FREELY,

then replace the fuel hose;

6. Connect fully charged battery to generator;

7. DO NOT apply any load at this point and put the CIRCUIT BREAKER to the OFF position;

8. Push RED lever next to oil level check stick to the RUN position;

9. Turn on to the START position and release the key to the ON position;

10. In cold winter area please turn key counterclockwise to HEAT and hold about 20 seconds to

preheat cold air, then turn clockwise to START engine, release the key to on position after

engine starts; it helps start the engine in cold weather; if your remote control unit has remote

preheater function, please see refer to operating procedures for remote start for your reference;

11. If the engine does not start, wait 1 to 3 minutes and repeat the 8 or 9;

12. Only try to use remote control after you successfully start the engine using a key switch.

Note: Open frame models usually come with recoil starter. If you want to pull start your generator,

please refer to Section 3.10 Procedures for recoil starting.

19
 3.4. Generator Break-in
A brand new engine must be properly broken in. The break-in period is about 20 hours. An oil
change for a brand new engine is about 20 hours or one month. After break-in period, oil change
shall be performed routinely every 100 hours or 3 months.

IMPORTANT: Do not apply high load during the first 20 hours of break-in period, change engine
oil and check oil filter after first 20 hours of break-in running; if you find any dirty or metal scraps on the oil
filter (please refer to Fig. 3.4), please use diesel to wash them away, otherwise, it may cause serious damage
to your engine.

3.5 Applying Load to your Generator

After generator is started, push circuit breaker to ON position and you should read 120V in volt meter
when voltage selector is set for 120V output or 240V in volt meter when voltage selector is set for
120V/240V output.
When applying loads to generator, make sure to apply loads in order. Apply larger load onto the
generator first. If the generator labors great with applied load, smaller load can then be added. Never
overload generator. Otherwise, generator will black smoke or circuit breaker will be stripped. In this
event, decrease the number of small loads until generator labors normally. Please see Table 2-1 for
technical specifications of generator for your reference. If the indication of the volt meter is too high or
too low, adjust the engine speed (capacitor used for brushless alternator) or electric resistance of AVR
used for brush alternator accordingly. Special skills are required to perform speed adjustment. An
authorized professional is recommended to perform this work. If there are problems, stop the generator
immediately and fix the issue.

Note: During operation, the generator should be put in a place with good ventilation. Never cover
open frame generator using your own cage to solve a noisy problem, as this will cause
overheating problem and then damage your generator. You must obtain our prior authorization
for any change in our generator. Otherwise, the warranty for your generator will be voided.

20
Do not apply more than two loads simultaneously. Each load should be started one by one to
avoid overloading generator. The generator should be running at 3600 revolutions per minute in
order to achieve the frequency of 60Hz. The speed of the engine can be adjusted through speed
governor.

CAUTION: A alternator consists of two sets of windings, namely R2 & R1 and L2 & L1 (see Fig.3.5a),

each set of winding gives 120V output. A voltage selector is used to obtain 120V and/or 240V outputs (see Fig.
3.5d). Two sets of windings are in parallel when a selector is set at left while two sets of windings are in serial
when a selector is set at right (see Fig.3.5b & c). If you push voltage selector left for only 120V output, you can
apply full rated load at 120V outlets; if push selector right for both 120V & 240V outputs, you can apply full
rated load at 240V outlet from four-prong socket; however, you can only apply HALF RATED LOAD at either
120V outlet (total two 120V outlets) from four-prong socket.

There are two sets of ON and OFF buttons in RF transmittal key. If your remote start unit (with 7 wires

on) has no remote glow plug function, the operating procedures are as follows:

1. Please refer to above generator operation instruction for start using key switch;

2. If you want to use remote start, please make sure that your electronic key switch is either put on

“OFF” position or taken away from the control panel;

3. There are two sets of ON and OFF buttons in RF key, you can depress either one of ON buttons

to start the generator and either one of OFF buttons to shut down the generator respectively;

4. If you use key switch to start the generator and then use RF key to shut it down, make sure that

you need turn electronic key switch to OFF position; otherwise, your generator battery will

drain charge gradually;

5. In case your remote control unit fails and a remote jumper comes with your user’s manual

package, please unplug your remote control unit first, then plug the remote jumper; this will

enable you to use key switch to start your generator; if there is no remote jumper with your

package, please follow the order shown in the picture of remote jumper to electrically shorten

the two corresponding wires coming out of your control unit(a small black box with either 7 or

8 wires on), then you shall use key switch to start your generator.

If your remote start unit (with 8 wires on) has remote glow plug function, the operating procedures are

the same as the 7-wire remote control unit except the following:

There are two sets of ON and OFF buttons in RF key, you must depress ON button of set 1 to

start the generator and OFF button of set 1 to shut down the generator respectively (see Fig.

3.6), also refer to Section How to Use Glow Plug;

Diesel generator will be very hard to start in cold winter. However, glow plug will help start diesel

generator much easier. There are two types of control panel used in our portable diesel generators:

Type A control panel has heat knob (see Fig.3.7 A) and Type B has preheater button (see Fig. 3.7 B).

For type A control panel, please turn key counterclockwise to HEAT position and hold about 20

seconds to preheat cold; for Type B control panel, please depress a small red button right above

grounding terminal and hold about 20 seconds to preheat cold.

If your diesel generator comes with 8-wire remote control unit (it needs special order, extra charge

applies), you can remote control glow plug. The operating procedures are as follows:

Two sets of ON and OFF buttons used for remote starting engine and turning on glow plug

respectively (see Fig. 3.6), Set 1 for starting engine and Set 2 for controlling glow plug, Sets

1& 2 are interlocked each other and only one set of ON & OFF works at a time, Set 2 is

programmed for powering on glow plug 25 Sec and glow plug will automatically power off

after 25 Sec, you can also DEPRESS OFF button in SET 2 for power off earlier.

24
3.8 Charging battery
1. All 4000 and 6800 series diesel generators can automatically charge DC12V battery through
voltage rectifier (voltage stabilizer) installed in the rear side of engine when they are running.
2. If generator is not used for a long time, the battery should be disconnected to avoid energy loss
from the battery.
3. Do not connect the negative and positive terminals of the battery together at any time. Doing so
will damage the battery and cause serious injuries.
4. Do not reverse the polarities when attaching battery cables to battery. Doing so will damage both
battery and electric starter.
5. Battery will produce flammable gases during charging. Do not expose the battery to any flames
and sparks during charging as this may cause a fire. To avoid sparking while connecting cables
to battery, connect the cables to the battery then to electric starter. To disconnect battery cables,
first disconnect the cable at the end of electric starter.

3.9 Stop generator

1. Remove the electrical load off the generator.
2. Let the engine idle for 3 minutes after unloading. Do not stop the diesel engine immediately.
Stopping the diesel engine suddenly may raise the temperature of engine abnormally and lock
the nozzle and damage the diesel engine.
3. Turn key to the “off” position or depress “off” button in RF key.
4. If do not use generator for a long time, please shut off fuel valve and then make sure that both
intake and exhaust valves are closed for avoiding engine rusting. Pull slowly on the recoil handle
(open frame models) or use one of your hands to manually rotate fly wheel (silent model) until
you feel resistance when the piston of engine is in the compression stroke where both intake and
exhaust valves are closed).

Emergency Stop:
If you turn key to the “off” position or depress “off” button in RF key, the engine is still running,
please depress emergency stop lever (see Fig. 3.4) to stop it manually. If emergency stop lever
fails, please shut off fuel valve to stop it.

 CHAPTER 4 MAINTENANCE
4.1 Maintenance schedules
Keeping your generator well maintained will prolong the life of your generator. Everything needs to be
checked including the diesel engine, generator, control panel and frame. For overhauling procedures,
please refer to the instruction manual of relative subassembly. If you need these manuals, please call
our company and we will send you one.

Before starting the maintenance, make sure the diesel engine is off.

Please refer to the Table 4-1 below for the proper maintenance schedule.

4.2 Changing the engine oil (every 100 hours)

Engine oil is the most important factor in determining the life of your generator engine. If you use poor
engine oil or if you do not change the oil regularly, the piston and cylinder will wear off easily or seize
up. The life of the other engine parts such as bearings and rotating parts will be shortened considerably
as well.

All our portable diesel generators are installed low oil pressure automatic shut-off function. However,
manual check of engine oil level using dipstick (oil filler cap) is strongly recommended prior to
cranking engine. If the oil level is low, fill it up to required level. Oil is easily drained out of engine due
to low viscosity and high fluidity when diesel engine is still hot. If the engine is fully cooled, the
viscosity of oil turns higher and oil will be dense and sticky, especially in winter, it is more difficult to
drain all the oil out or some impurities will remain in the engine.

Take the dipstick off. Remove the oil drain bolt when
the diesel engine is still hot. Be careful of hot oil and hot
engine as you may get burned. The bolt is located at the
bottom of the cylinder. After draining the oil, put the
bolt back and tighten it. Then fill with the proper engine Dipstick
oil to the proper level.

Oil drain bolt

Warning: Do not fill engine oil when engine is running!

4.3 Air filter element replacement

Paper-based air filter element is used in diesel generators. It is non-reusable. So, do not try to wash the
air filter for reuse purpose. Replace air-filter element every 6 months or 300 hours of regular operation.
Never start the diesel engine without the air filter. Otherwise, it can cause serious damage to the engine if
foreign objects enter the intake system. When the output of the diesel engine is reduced or the color of the
exhaust emissions is abnormal, replace the air filter element on time. To replace an air filter element,
first loosen the butterfly(wing) nut, take the cover of the air filter off and take the air filter element out,
then after replacing the air filter element, replace the cover and tighten the butterfly nut firmly(see Fig.
4.1).

29
 Butterfly nut Air filter Cover Filter Core

Fig. 4.1 Air filter element replacement

4.4 Fuel filter maintenance

The fuel filter should be cleaned often to keep the engine running at maximum performance. The
recommended interval for cleaning or replacing fuel filter is 6 months or 500 hours of operation. Two
types of fuel filter are used in our portable diesel generators: type A is solely used in open frame model;
type B is mainly used in silent model and may be used in some open frame units. Fuel filter is either
installed inside fuel tank (open frame model) or outside fuel tank in a fuel coke assembly (silent model).
Please refer to Fig. 4.2 for your convenience.

(installed inside fuel
tank and invisible)

Type B
(installed outside fuel

Fuel Coke Assembly

Fig. 4.2 Fuel Filters used with different fuel coke assemblies

30
How to replace fuel filter
a. Type A fuel filter:

1. Drain all the fuel out of fuel tank.

2. Keep fuel tank right up, loosen two hex nuts on a fuel coke assembly, then take off fuel coke
assembly;
3. Loosen 3 small screws on a fuel gasket metal cover underneath fuel tank and remove metal plate
cover.
4. Take used fuel filter out of fuel tank, remove circular rubber and O-ring seals and paper-based
gasket(s) from the used filter and keep them for reuse if applicable and discard the used filter.
You may use diesel fuel to clean up the used filter for reuse. However, the use of new filter is
recommended.
5. Put circular rubber and O-ring seals and paper-based gasket(s), and then put gasket metal plate
cover to the new filter.
6. Install new filter to fuel coke assembly and then manually slight tighten two hex nuts to the bolts
of filter.
7. Place new filter inside fuel tank, align positions for three small screws. You can keep fuel tank
upside down for your convenience.
8. Tighten three small screws and two hex nuts completely.

b. Type B fuel filter

Type B filter is very easy to replace: use one hand to hold the alumina head of fuel coke
assembly and the other hand to hold thread flanged alumina ring, turn loose the ring
counterclockwise, replace used filter with a new one and then tighten the ring completely.

4.5 Fuel injection nozzle

Check fuel injection nozzle every 6 months or 300 hours for possible blockage. Please clean up carbon
deposit in fuel injector. Replace the used fuel injector if necessary.

4.6 Cylinder head bolt tensions

The cylinder head bolts should be tightened to specifications. Please refer to the diesel engine manual
for specifications and the special tools are required to do this.
.
4.7 Battery check
For dry battery, make sure that the battery acid is full. Electric starting system uses a DC12V battery.
Due to numerous starting cycles, the battery acid may be used up. Also, before filling, verify that the
battery is not damaged in any way. Add distilled water to the battery when filling. Perform checks on
the battery once a month.
For maintenance free battery, please check the color of indicator: green means the battery is good, dark
means recharging battery and Clear means replacing battery.

Caution: Color indicator is only used for reference, sometimes even though the indicator shows
clear color, the battery itself may still work well.

4.8 Storage for a long period

If your generator needs to be stored for a long period, the following preparations should be made:
1. Start and run the engine for about 3 minutes, then stop.
2. Change the engine oil with new oil of proper grade when the engine is still hot.

31
3. Remove the screw plug out of the cylinder head cover and add 2CC of lubricating oil in plug
hole, then replace the plug.
4. Recoil starting:
a. Depress the decompression lever (non-compression position) and pull the recoil handle
2 or 3 times. This pushes the intake out. (Do not start the engine)
5. Electric starting:
a. Depress the decompression lever, turn ignition key to “ON” position and crank the
engine for 2-3 seconds. (Do not start the engine)
6. Pull the decompression lever up, pull the recoil starter (open frame) or manually rotate flywheel
(silent) until you feel resistance; this is when the piston is on the compression stroke where both
intake and exhaust valves are closed. Having intake and exhaust valves closed will keep
moisture away from combustion chamber and prevent engine from rust.
7. Clean the engine and store in a dry place.

32
 CHAPTER 5 TROUBLESHOOTING

5.1 Inspections before Operation and Maintenance

5.1.1 Inspection before operation
5.1.1.1 Check the insulated resistance
An insulated resistance usually results in the creepage of the alternator when it is below the regulated value
and then brings on the security problems. The user should check the insulated resistance between the master
and subordinate reels and the insulated resistance between the reels and the crust with 500V mega
ohmmeter regularly. The value should not be under 2 M ohms at normal temperature; otherwise these parts
should be dried. Use the electric cooker, infrared ray or big bulb or something else to heat them up outside
until the insulated resistance reaches the regulated value.

5.1.1.2 Check the alternator assembly

Make sure all the firming components are tight and the rotor is easy to turn by hand without impacting,
scrubbing and any abnormal noise. Do not let the rain or other liquid drop into the alternator.

5.1.2 Starting the generator

The end of voltage output should be on before running the machine. Generator should self excite, generate
voltage in gear and reach the rated power when engine speed is accelerated to the rated value. Otherwise,
stop the machine and check it.

5.1.3 Maintenance
Keep generator away from the oil, vapor, acidic/alkaline gas, saline brume and do not let any other solid
matter fall into the generator. Keep drafty when the generator is running. Do not put anything on the surface
of generator for baffling ventilation and heat dispersion. Do not operate under over-loading condition
continuously and inspect bolts and mechanical firming components routinely.

5.2 Malfunction and Troubleshooting for Diesel Engine

5.2.1 Causes and Troubleshooting for the Engine Not Being Started
There are many factors causing non-starting issues. General causes for non-starting problem are
summarized in Table 5.1.

For brand new diesel generator, if you can not start it, it is usually caused by entrapped air in the fuel
hose. Please full off fuel hose from fuel injection pump and drain fuel freely to release all the entrapped
air.

If you have used your generator for some time and find you can not start it or it shuts off automatically,
it is usually caused by failure fuel system such as running out of fuel, non-energized solenoid, and
burned solenoid or by failed remote control unit. If there is no DC 12V power to solenoid, please
troubleshoot as follows:

1. Check whether solenoid fuse blows out or not. If it blows out, replace it.
2. If solenoid fuse is fine, please directly use a copper wire to feed 12V to solenoid (when
disconnect blue wire to solenoid, make sure electrically insulate it for avoiding short circuit)
and crank engine, see whether you can start it or not. If it works, solenoid control board or
remote control unit fails.

Caution: there is a blue wire connected to the top of solenoid, NEVER touch the blue wire
to engine case while with battery hooked up! Otherwise, a fuse (new 2008 or later model)
or a control board for solenoid behind control panel will be burned!

34
 3. Use remote jumper to test, if it works, the remote control unit fails and needs replaced.

4. If remote jumper does not work, please turn Key Switch to "ON" position, use a multimeter
(voltage tester) to measure the voltage on the solenoid, put positive polarity to the conjunction
of blue wire and solenoid and negative polarity to engine case, you should read 12V in your
meter. If the reading is ZERO, the solenoid control board (named CJX22 control board in green
color behind control panel) fails and needs replaced.

If there is DC 12V power to solenoid, please troubleshoot as follows:

1. Take off solenoid from fuel pump using two wrenches. You should use one wrench to hold
the solenoid firmly and turn counterclockwise to take it off fuel pump, at the same time, you
must use the other wrench to hold metal pipe of fuel pump for avoiding its rotating. Take out a
spring and a plunger in the solenoid, replace the solenoid (means bypassing solenoid) to fuel
pump, crank the engine and see whether you can start or not; if works, solenoid is burned and
needs replaced.

2. If you can not solve starting problem by bypassing solenoid, fuel pump or fuel injector may
have failed.

How to test fuel pump or fuel injector?

a. Loosen the end of high pressure metal fuel pipe to fuel pump, crank engine and see whether
you can see diesel popped out of fuel pump, if you can see diesel out of pump, the pump is fine.
Otherwise, fuel pump needs replaced.

b. Take off fuel injector and test it: open the cover right on the top of enclosure (silent model)
or muffler cover (open frame model), loosen two 10MM nuts, take out fuel injector with high
pressure metal fuel pipe hooked up together, reconnect the other end of metal fuel pipe to fuel
pump so that make sure you can observe the tip of fuel injector when cranking engine. if fuel
injector is fine, you shall observe 4 well-sprayed diesel mists out of fuel injector tip; if not, try
to use a piece of soft cloth to clean it and then try again; if you still can not see four mists, one
or more tiny holes of fuel injector is/are bitted and fuel injector needs replaced.

c. Also, please check your battery voltage level, if it is below 12.5V, you probably can not start
your engine; please fully charge your battery or try using your vehicle battery to crank.

d. If you can not hear cranking sound at all when you turn ignition key to start or use remote
control unit to start, electronic key switch or the solenoid of electric starter is burnt and needs
replaced. You can use a small copper wire to jump start your electric starter motor: jump start
your electric starter and see whether your engine turns over; if it turns over, the starter is good
and key switch needs replaced; otherwise, starter needs replaced.

Make sure you leave key in OFF position or simply remove key from control panel when you use
remote start! Also, please depress OFF button after you remote shut down generator, otherwise, the
battery will be gradually drained; it will also have a risk of burning solenoid.

Caution: please disconnect battery from your generator prior to conducting any maintenance or
repair. Otherwise, some electronic parts will be burned with power operation.

35
If you perform all the above procedures and find fuel system is fine, please further check your diesel
engine. Adjustment screw or tappet of your engine is probably snapped:

Remove fuel injector from your engine and take off cylinder cover, pull recoil handle or manually
rotate flywheel, perceive whether you can see both intake and exhaust valves moves; if one of them
does not move, please take a closer look at the cylinder head and make sure whether adjustment screw
or tappet is snapped. If adjustment screw is snapped, try to take out the broken screw and replace it
with a new one. Make sure you correctly adjust the gap of valves in the range of 0.15 ~ 0.20 mm. If
tappet is snapped, you must remove alternator from diesel engine and then disassemble engine for
replacement.

5.2.1.1 Instructions for disassembling alternator from engine

1. Drain out all the fluids from your generator including oil and fuel.
2. Remove generator frame (open frame) or soundproof enclosure (silent) from base pan.
3. Loosen four long bolts for holding alternator first and then remove stator from alternator.
You should use two flat head screwdriver to warp up the stator out through two
symmetrically distributed notches in the alternator cast case. It usually takes less than 10
seconds to remove stator from alternator.
4. Remove rotor from engine shaft.
Completely loosen the long bolt with a 14MM hex head nut that is used to hold rotor to
engine shaft so that you can take it out. However, you should not take out the long bolt,
but to leave the loosened bolt in place, then use a RUBBER HAMMER hit heavily hit
the 14MM hex head nut of long bolt about 10 times at the directions of left, right, back
and forth, take out long bolt and then you shall pull out the rotor from engine shaft
easily.

Warning: Never use metal hammer rather than rubber hammer to hit the nut and
avoid hitting in the bearing of rotor. Otherwise, the bearing will be broken.

5.2.1.2 Instructions for disassembling diesel engine

1. Loosen the end of high pressure metal fuel pipe to fuel injection pump and then remove the
fuel injection pump from engine.
2. Remove fuel injection nozzle (injector) with high pressure fuel pipe from engine.
3. Remove cylinder gasket cover.
4. Remove rocker arm.
5. Remove two push rods.
6. Remove the half crankcase in alternator side (drive shaft side) from engine.
7. Remove cam shaft.
8. Replace the snapped tappet with a new one.

5.2.1.3 Instructions for setting valves and reassembling diesel engine

A. How to reassemble a diesel engine:

1. Suppose a diesel engine is disassembled at this step, e.g., fuel pump, fuel injector removed
from, rocker arm and push rods taken off engine; DO NOT REPLACE THEM NOW,

36
 OTHERWISE, YOU CAN’T PUT BACK THE HALF CASE OF ENGINE ON
ALTERNATOR SIDE!
2. If tappets are snapped, please replace them and put the new ones in holes;
3. In case you pull off balance shaft during disassembling engine and need replace, please
align balance gear and crank gear: there are TWO DOTS and ONE DOT in balance and
crank gears respectively, you must align them at this step before aligning crank and cam
gears;
4. Align crank gear(drive shaft) and cam gear(cam shaft): there are TWO DOTS and ONE
DOT in crank and cam gears respectively, you must align them at this step;
5. Put case gasket and match two halves of engine together, tighten all bolts.
6. Put back push rods and rocker arm assembly, tighten two bolts for holding rocker arm,
adjustment screws and nuts on rocker arm assembly and make sure adjustment screws touch
push rods slightly so that you can lift up and down push rods. DO NOT TIGHTEN
ADJUSTMENT SCREWS FIRMLY AT THIS POINT, OTHERWISE, YOU CAN’T
ADJUST VALVE GAP.

B. How to set valve gaps:

The 4 strokes for engine are:

intake--->spray fuel, compress-->explode--->outtake exhaust.

When you spin flywheel, you can see push rods and rocker arms moving back and forth to
make intake and exhaust valves open and/or close;

When both push rods move to their lowest positions, both intake and exhaust valves are close,
then you can use your hand to move both rocker arms a little (both valves are close at this
position);

This position is very important, you need adjust the valve gaps at this point: the gap between
rocker arm and valve clip (a small round platform) for both sides (intake and exhaust valves) is
0.15 ~ 0.20mm (about 0.005906~0.007874 in). You can use a filler ruler of 0.15~0.20mm
thickness to adjust.

C. Install fuel injector first, then install fuel pump.

You must install fuel pump correctly, otherwise you either can’t start engine or overspeed
engine. Below are brief procedures for reinstallment:

1. When you reinstall fuel pump, pull its needle half way in OBSERVATION WINDOW
(bottom opening in fuel pump), push speed handle (fuel throttle lever) halfway. You can see
a HOOD of speed handle when you move speed handle from left to right. The HOOD is
used to hold fuel pump needle so that you can simultaneously move needle while push
speed handle from left to right.
2. Use one hand to replace fuel pump while use the other hand to hold speed handle half way,
let fuel pump needle right sit in the HOOD of speed handle, tighten upper two nuts first,
then move fuel lever and see whether the needle moves with fuel throttle lever, otherwise,
you need reinstall the fuel pump again.

37
IMPORTANT NOTES:

When you need use a hammer during disassembling or reassembling process whenever
necessary, please NEVER USE METAL HAMMER to hit any parts, otherwise, you will
deform or damage them.

5.2.2.1 Instructions for speed adjustment

There are three bolts used in the speed limit system (see Fig. 5.1): left (C), middle bottom and right (A)
screws. Screws A & C are used for tightening metal plate B, A is also used for fine adjustment of
speed and middle bottom screw for setting maximum fuel throttle. Please note that there is an oval-
shaped hole in the metal plate B with A through.

Screw A is used for fine adjusting RPM (Frequency < 5 Hz), moving B up decreases RPM while
moving B down increases RPM.

There are two rows of three small holes right behind the metal plate B (not shown in Fig. 5.1) and four
large holes in location E. If the adjusted frequency > 10 Hz, the thick spring D is used for coarse tuning.
Try to hook two ends of D in one of six small and four large holes E respectively for obtaining desired
frequency, e.g., if we need change 60Hz to 50Hz, this method will be involved. Given position of
hooked small hole, the obtained frequency decreases in the order from left to right holes of E; given
position of hooked large hole, the obtained frequency decreases in the order from left to right small
hole in the same row and upper to lower small holes. Frequency adjustment shall be conducted with a
frequency meter.

Bolt F is preset for maximum power output position by manufacturer, it NEVER touches fuel lever
unless the maximum power output is reached. So, NEVER adjust the position of threaded bolt.

Caution: If your generator runs unstable, e.g., runs at upper or lower speed and you excludes fuel
system problem, you must try hooking the two end s of coarse spring D in different small and large
holes to find out flexibly balanced position.
