1. PART: SAFETY MEASURES
1.1. INTRODUCTION
Generator groups produced by our company have been designed and conceived by prioritizing all sorts of safety of lives and
property.
Generators should be installed and used in accordance with maintenance and operating rules stated in this catalogue both in
terms of using the generator economically for a long-term and ensuring continuous safety of life and property. Required safety measures
should be taken in advance during the installation, usage and maintenance. Safe operating responsibility of the generator set belongs to
people using and maintaining it. Provided that instructions, methods and safety rules in this manual are complied with, risk of accident
will decrease.
Otherwise, unexpected defects and accidents which may result within serious injured and death of people and damage on the
equipment. Please have your generator used and maintained by well-trained people who issued or authorized persons in order to prevent
these occasions.
Please plan any part, machine or engine you are operating in a way to ensure easy access to every point. Take pre-safety
measures about how you can avoid from exposure to occasions like touching with rotating parts, burning and cut with sharp edges while
checking out the engine. Ensure that covers of turbo compressor driving shaft, pump shaft, fan belts and winglets among engine
components are fitted.
Never operate your generator when it is broken down and in unsafe conditions. Always isolate accumulator negative (-) lead
terminal by separating from the accumulator. Bring attention of people by hanging a WARNING/CAUTION sign on the engine or its
neighboring.
Never make any maintenance or repair while the generator set is operating. Turn off the generator and take all safety measures
before any maintenance initiated.
Never have unauthorized persons repaired and maintained, this will cause damage in your generator and also be out of from
scope of guarantee. We recommend you to use our authorized services providing 7/24 service.
1.2. ATTENTION! DON’T DO THE FOLLOWINGS:
The proper fuel for the diesel generator set is light diesel fuel. Do not use gasoline, kerosene and or other fuels other than
light diesel fuel,
Do not carry the generator on its side or in an inclined position during transportation. Oil or fuel may overflows into the air
filter and wets the filter, and the filter will not work if it does not absorb enough air. If this happens, remove the filter, wash it until the
oil or fuel is clean, dry it and put it back or replace it with a new one.
Don’t start the engine indoors. Exhaust gases are odorless and can be deadly as they contain carbon monoxide.
Do not insert your hands and feet into moving or rotating parts.
Do not store, pour or use fuel near open flames or appliances such as stoves, water heaters or sparking devices.
Do not refuel in places such as poorly ventilated rooms. Do this in an open area.
Do not refuel while the engine is running. Allow the engine to cool for 20 minutes before filling the gas tank. Store fuel in safe
containers.
Do not remove the fuel tank cap while the engine is running.
Do not start the engine in the presence of fuel odor or other explosive conditions.
Do not start the engine if it is overflowing or dripping fuel. Move the generator away from the stream and block ignition until
the fuel has evaporated.
Do not carry the generator from one place to another with fuel in the tank.
Do not smoke while refueling.
Do not run the engine at excessive speed. This can lead to accidents.
Do not touch the speed lever, links or parts that can increase speed.
Do not change the engine speeds selected by the manufacturer.
Do not hit the flywheel with a hard object while it is operating, it may break. Use the correct tool for servicing.
Do not run the engine without a muffler. Check frequently and replace if necessary. If there is a muffler deflector, check it
periodically and replace it with the correct deflector if necessary.
Do not run the engine in the presence of flammable materials around the muffler.
Do not touch the hot muffler, cylinder or cooling fins as this will cause burns.
Do not operate the engine without the air cleaner, air cleaner cover and/or carburetor air intake cover.
1.3. ATTENTION! DO THE FOLLOWINGS:
Even if mains is not off, run the generator for at least 5-10 minutes every once in a while (once a week) so that the battery
does not discharge, your battery will remain constantly charged. Because dry batteries complete their life after they are discharged.
If your generator is a system with accumulator (E, EC, ECX or TECX series generators), remove the negative (minus)
terminal of the accumulator.
If your generator is accumulator started, do not neglect accumulator maintenance and cleaning. Keep the accumulator away
from sparks, especially during charging. Accumulator acid is corrosive. It is especially dangerous for the skin and eyes.

Use fresh diesel fuel. Stale fuel can cause gumming and leaking in the carburetor.
Check the fuel connections and gaskets for cracks and leaks. Renew if necessary.
When the battery-started generator is not running, always remove the ignition key to prevent accidental starting.
Always keep the fuel cock closed when you do not start the generator.
Accumulator compartments boxes are manufactured in a safe way. Do not allow any occasion which may cause bare flame or
electric arc near the accumulators. Hydrogen gas emitted from the accumulators may cause very serious injuries since it is so
combustive and inflammable. Never disconnect lead terminals, impact on and bend over them while the engine is starting or operating.
Have sufficient amount of fulfilled fire extinguisher present near to the generator.
1.4. MOVING COMPONENTS AND IRRITATING MATERIALS:
As a general maintenance rule; ensure diesel engine is on STOP state or its covers are installed on it. Never operate engines
without protection guard which are disassembled except the case that exceptional maintenance and settings must be performed.
Coming close to an operating engine is a safety risk. Remember wide and loose clothes, long hairs may cause serious
accidents by being put on rotating components.
Putting tools or equipment down on operating engine due to incaution may lead to serious injuries in case of close contact to
the engine.
Avoid from touching with operating engine exhaust system.
Install materials for safety and protection purpose disassembled during the service on their places before starting the engine.
Avoid contact diesel fuel, oils, cooling water and accumulator electrolyte used in the engine with your bare body.
Wear protection gloves and oil proof clothes while engaging with these works.

2. PART: BEFORE STARTING
GENPOWER generators have been produced in international standards.
Our air-cooled diesel portable generators have some of the following features:
●Lightweight construction
●Air cooled
●Four-stroke diesel internal combustion engine
●Direct fuel injection system
●Recoil starter or an optional electric starter
●Large fuel tank
●Automatic voltage stabilizer
●NFB circuit protector
●AC and DC outputs
●Low oil pressure alarm
There is an oil level sensor in the generators to prevent damage to the engine in case of oil shortage. When the oil level falls
below a certain level, this sensor does not allow the generator to operate.
Use 15W40 oil.
Each generator has a group identification plate. Serial number, qualifications, weights and manufacturing date of generators
are written on this group plate. Use this serial number in spare parts, repair claims, interviews and at your demands.
It is recommended to use high quality detergent oils classified as SE, SF, SD or SC. Detergent oils keep the engine clean and
prevent gumming and deposits. Nothing should be added to the recommended oil. The viscosity of the lubricating oil used should be
selected in accordance with the ambient temperature range in which the engine operates.

2.1. FILLING OIL:
ATTENTION! Your generator has been shipped without oil. Before using, be sure to fill in the oil. Do not ship with oil.
Put the generator on a flat surface.
Clean up around the mouth of the oil tank.
Remove the oil filler plug or rod, fill the oil slowly. If there is an oil plug, fill up to the overflow point. If there is a oil
dipstick, fill it to the FULL point on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
.
ATTENTION! Do not rotate the dipstick.
Put the oil plug or dipstick in its place.

2.2. CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL:
Put the generator on a flat surface.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Put the dipstick back in place.
Take it out again to check the oil level.
While engine running, the dipstick should be firmly seated in its socket.
2.3. DIESEL FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS:
Use only light diesel fuel,
The fuel should 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 the fuel tank．Never exceed the red piston in the filter.
Purchase the amount of fuel to be used in the 30-day period. This ensures fuel freshness and the required fuel viscosity
according to the season.
Do not open the fuel cap while the engine is running.
2.4. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AN EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE:
Keep the generator flat while filling, storing and operating with oil and fuel.
Do not use pressurized starting fluid.
Use oil suitable for the temperature.
Do not start the engine with a low oil level.
Run the generator at no load (idle) once in a while.
Use fresh fuel.
A hot battery has more starting capacity than a cold battery.
If the engine is cold, make sure to adjust the choke fully.
A hot engine requires less choke than a cold engine.
Engine oil is the most important factor in determining the life of your generator engine. If you use poor engine oil or if you
don’t change the oil regularly,the piston and cylinder will wear easily or seize up. Also the life of the other parts in your engine such as
bearings and other rotating parts will shorten considerably.
Although there is an alarm system to check for low oil pressure，please check the amount of oil inside the engine regularly. If
the oil level is low，fill it before starting the engine.
It is more easy to drain the oil from the engine is when the diesel engine is still hot. If the engine is fully cooled，it is more
difficult to drain all the oil out or some impurities will remain in the engine.

4.6.2. Output of Electricity:
4.6.2.1. Raise the revolutions per minute (turn the speed lever to the max setting) of the generator to get the maximum
power out of the generator. If not，the automatic voltage regulator device will excite and doing this for long pe-
riods of time will cause the capacitor to burn.
4.6.2.2. Observe the pointer of the voltmeter, it should point to 230V/400V±5％(50Hz)．(For 60Hz set, it will be
240V±5％). Meanwhile put the switch in the GEN position. The AC voltage from the socket of the power
supply can be output.
4.6.2.3. When connecting devices to the generator，make sure to connect these devices in order. Connect the bigger
loads onto the generator first.
4.6.2.4. If everything is functional，smaller loads can then be added．If the generator shuts off, it may be because the
load being drawn by all the various devices are too high．In this event，decrease the number of small devices
until everything is functional．
4.6.2.5. The total load should not exceed the maximum output power of the generator．In order to reset the generator
after overload，let it be steady for several minutes．If the indication of the voltmeter is too high or too low，
adjust the speed accordingly．If there are problems, stop the generator immediately and fix the issue.
4.7. Charging The Battery:
For the electric starter on the generator，the 12V battery is automatically charged through the regulator on the side of the
engine when it is running．
If the generator is not used for long periods of time，the battery should be disconnected to avoid energy loss from the battery.
Do not connect the negative and positive terminals of the battery together at any time．Doing so will damage the battery.
Do not reverse the polarities when attaching the battery cables to the battery．Doing so will damage both the battery and the
electric starter.
When charging the battery, the battery produces flammable gases．Do not smoke，let flames，and sparks far away the battery
while it is charging as this may cause a fire．To avoid sparking while connecting the cables，connect the cables to the battery
then to the engine. To disconnect battery cables，first disconnect the engine end of the cable．
ATTENTION! Do not start more than two devices simultaneously ． Each device should be started one by one to prevent
overloading the generator. The generator should be running at 3000/3600 RPM in order to achieve the (50/60Hz) frequency ． The
speed of the engine can be adjusted from the speed governor.
5. PART: STOPPING GENERATOR
Before stopping the generator, always disconnect it from the load.
Put the speed lever in the ‘‘RUN” position and let the engine run for 3 minutes after unloading. Do not stop the diesel engine
immediately, let it warm down．Stopping the diesel engine suddenly may raise the temperature of the engine abnormally may lock the
nozzle and damage the diesel engine.
Turn the key switch to the "OFF" position,
