3. Use for Welder and Generator Set
3.1 Use Essentials and Cautions
In order to ensure that you safely operate the welder and generator set, be sure
that you read and understand the operation manual. Especially the attention
should be paid to the use main points listed below. Otherwise the personal
accidents and the equipment damages may be caused.
3.1.1 Fire prevention. The combustion oil used in the diesel engine is light
diesel oil. The gasoline, kerosene and other oils should not be used.
Use a clean cloth to wipe off the overflowed oil. The gasoline, kerosene, match
and other inflammable and explosive matters should not be put near the set
because the temperature for the place around the exhaust noise suppressor is
very high while the diesel engine is running.
For the purpose to prevent the fire and to supply the sufficient ventilation
condition, during the operation, at least 1.5m distance between the set and the
building and other equipment should be kept.
Operating the welder and generator set should be carried out on a smooth floor. If
the set is oblique, the oil will overflow.
3.1.2 Prevent the suction of the exhausted gas
The exhausted gas includes the poison carbon monoxide. At the places with poor
ventilation, the welder and generator set should not be used. If it is necessary to
operate the set indoors, the suitable ventilation condition should be supplied to
prevent the personnel and livestock from the affection.
3.1.3 Prevent the burn. When the diesel engine is running and is hot, it is not
allowed to touch the noise suppressor and its housing.
3.1.4 Electric shock and short-circuit. In order to avoid the electric shock or the
short-circuit, when the welder and generator set is wet or when your hand is wet,
contacting the welder and generator set is not allowed. This welder and generator
set is not waterproof so that it should not be used at places in rain, snow and
water mist.
-7-

In order to prevent the electric shock, the welder and generator set should be
grounded. Connect the grounding terminal of the generator with the external
grounding device by using a conductor. Please see Fig.2-1 and Fig.2-2. Before
the start, don't connect the other equipment with the welder and generator set.
At the time of the start, most motors will exceed their
rated power. On any sockets, the current should not
exceed the stipulated limit.
3.1.5 Other safety main points
In order to know how to quickly brake the set, the operators should be familiar
with operating all the switches. Anyone without passing through the correct
guidance should not carry out the operation. The operators should wear the
safety shoes and the suitable clothes. The children and livestock should be kept
far from the welder and generator set.
3.1.6 Charge the battery.
The electrolyte of the battery contains sulphuric acid. In order to protect your eyes,
skin and clothes, if you touch it, it is necessary to use water for wash. If your eyes
touch it, you should go to a clinic for wash.
The hydrogen produced from the battery is the explosive gas. Don't smoke
particularly at the charge time. Any spark should not be splashed to the places
near the battery.
Charge the battery at the places with good ventilation.

3.2 Preparation before the Start
3.2.1 Select and treat with combustion oil.
Combustion oil tank
Only use the light diesel oil. The combustion oil should filtered
cleanly. The attention should be paid to that don't let any dust and
water to be mixed into the combustion oil and the oil tank. Otherwise
the high-pressure pump and the oil nozzle may be blocked up.
Attention: Overflowing the oil is very dangerous. Filling the oil into
the oil tank should not exceed the top of the red cock inside the filter.
Air filter core
Don't wash the air filter core because the component is
the dry type. When the diesel engine output is not good
or the color of the exhausted waste gas is abnormal,
change the filter core immediately. Never start the
diesel engine without using the filter core.

a. After purchasing the fuel, put the fuel in the
barrel for 3 to 4 days.
b. After 3 to 4 days, put the suction pipe into
the barrel at the place with a half depth of the
barrel (water and foreign matter will be sunk
onto the lower position in the barrel.)
At the places of filling the oil into the diesel engine or
of storing the diesel oil, don't smoke. Don't let any
spark go into this area. At the time of filling the oil, the
oil should not be overflowed. After the oil filling, be
sure fastening the cover nut on the oil inlet.
NOTE

3.2.2 Filling the Machinery Oil
Lubrication Oil Filling Inlet
Put the generator set in a level state. Fill the oil into the oil-filling inlet. At the time
of checking the oil level, it is necessary only to lightly insert the oil ruler. Please
pay attention to that you should not rotate the oil ruler.
The factor of the affection, to the performance and reliability of the diesel engine,
caused by your lubrication oil, is bigger than other factors. If you use any poor
quality machinery oil or if you do not change the oil for your diesel engine
according to stipulation, it is easy to block up the piston. It is also to quicken the
wearing of the cylinder, bearings, and other moving components so that the life of
your diesel engine is reduced.

Although there are the low oil pressure alarm system---the stop device. At
the time of starting the set, it is necessaryto check the oil quantity. If the oil
quantity is not sufficient, please add some oil. Discharging the machinery
oil should be carried out while the diesel engine is hot. After the cooling, it
is very difficult to dischargethe oil cleanly.
Don't fill the machinery oil into the diesel engine
when the dieselengine id running.
3.2.3 Check theair filter.
(1) Unfasten the butterfly nut, open the filter cover, and take out the filter
core. Never wash the filter core by using any detergents. When the output
is reduced or the color of the exhausted gas is not good, change the filter
core. Never start the generator set without the air filter core. Otherwise the
diesel engine willsoon be worn out.
(2) After mounting the filter core, cover the air filter housing and fasten the
butterfly nut.

3.2.4. Inspection for the welder and generator set
Before starting the set, be sure that the air switch should be turned to OFF state.
If the switch is not turned to OFF state, when starting the diesel engine,
suddenly loading is very dangerous.
The generator should be grounded to prevent the electric shock.
Blow the dust out of the generator control box inside and surface by using dry
compressed air(air pressure should be less than 1.96 x 105 Pa) or manual.
Check the clean condition on the slide rings, check the carbon brush pressure,
check whether the position on the slide rings are correctly fitted. Check whether
the fixing is reliable and whether the contact is good.
According to the electric wiring diagram, check whether the wiring lines are
correct and whether the connection joints are firm.
Use a 500V megameter to measure the insulation resistance of the electric
device section and the resistance should be not less than 2 megohms. Otherwise
it is necessary to carry out a dry treatment. While measuring, AVR should be
disconnected. Otherwise AVR may be burned out. (For the noise quieting type set,
it is possible not to carry out this check.)
3.2.5. Before delivering the diesel engine from the factory, the fuel oil and
the machinery oil had been discharged.
Before filling the fuel oil and starting the diesel engine, it is necessary to check
whether there is any air mixed into the oil circuit. If there is any, the air should be
discharged. The concrete method is to unfasten the connecting nut between the
oil injection pump and the oil transmission pipe so as to discharge the air in the
fuel oil until there is no air bubbles to be appeared. Then fasten the connecting
nut again.

3.3 Inspection and Operation of the Diesel Engine
3.3.1 Low oil pressure alarm system/braking device
Our diesel engine possesses the low oil pressure alarm system/braking device.
When the oil pressure goes down, the device will automatically brake the diesel
engine to avoid the blocking-up of the diesel engine because the oil pressure is
too low and the lubrication is insufficient. (2 GF-L can not stop the machine
automatically.)
If the diesel engine is running under the condition that the lubrication oil is
insufficient, the oil temperature will go up too high. On the other hand, it is also
dangerous if these is too much oil. Because the machinery oil may be burned,
this will make that the revolution speed of the engine increase suddenly and
results in abnormal fast running . For this purpose, it is necessary to check the
machinery oil and the oil level should reach the stipulated height.
3.3.2 How to open the machinery casing door and the housing (TW series
set)
(1) Open the machinery casing door,
rotate the handle counterclockwise. Lift
the door and carry out the daily check.
(2) Unfasten the bolts of the air filter
housing and take out the oil nozzle
housing to check the air filter.
3.3.3 Trial run operation
When your diesel engine is a new set, a large loading will reduce the engine's
life. Within the first 20 hours, it is necessary to carry out the trial run.
Handle
--

c. Quickly draw out the buffer start handle by two hands.
While operating (or after the start), don't let the handle fly out of your hand to
avoid that it smashes onto the diesel engine. Slowly and lightly let the handle
return its position to avoid damaging the starter.
When the diesel engine is running, never draw out the
start handle otherwise it will damage the diesel
engine.
d. In the cold days, when it is difficult to start the
diesel engine, unplug the rubber cock on the
rocker arm of the diesel engine and fill in 2ml
machinery oil.
Plug the rubber cock before the start.
The rubber cock should be plugged except filling
in the oil. Otherwise the rain, water, dust and
other dirt may enter into the diesel engine to
cause the fast wearing of the inside components.
This will result in serious problem.
3.4.2 Electric start
3.4.2.1 Start (the preparation for this start is the
same as the hand start.)
(1) Insert the electric door key and make it in
OFF position.
(2) Set the speed handle of the diesel engine in
run position.
(3)Turn the start switch to start position
clockwise.
(4) After the diesel engine starts, your hand should relieve the switch handle. Let
the switch restore to ON position automatically.
(5)If the diesel engine doesn't start after 10 seconds, please wait for anther 15
seconds and make the start again.If the start motor rotates for a long time and the
voltage of the battery will go down to cause the start motor running hysteresis.
When the diesel engine is in operation always leave the start key in ON position.
CAUTION
Speed Hande
--
(1) Avoid the overload.
During the trial run stage, it is necessary to avoid the large load. It uses only
75%of the rated load.
(2) Change the machinery oil of the engine according to the stipulation.
At the beginning of the use, change the oil once each 20-hours or once a month.
After this, change the oil once each 3-months or once for each 100-hours.
3.4 Starting the Welder and Generator Set
3.4.1. Recoil start (manual start)
Start the engine according to the following
procedures:
(1) Switch on the fuel oil switch (in ON
position).
(2) Set the speed handle of the engine at
run position.
(3) Draw out the buffer start handle.
a. Draw out the handle till you feel your hand
has the resistance force. Then relieve it and
let it restore to the initial position.
b. Press down the pressure reduction handle
(when the buffer starter is drawn, it will
automatically be restored.).

3.5 Operation Procedure for Starting the Generator Set
--
If the start motor rotates for a long time and the
voltage of the battery will go down to cause the start
motor running hysteresis. When the diesel engine is in
operation, always leave the start key in ON position.
3.4.2.2. Battery
Check the electrolyte level height of the
battery once a month. When the liquid
level goes down to a lower mark, add
some distilled water to make that the
liquid level goes up to a higher mark.
If the electrolyte in the battery is too less,
the diesel engine will not start. Because the electric power is insufficient at this
time, it is necessary to keep the liquid is at a place between the higher limit and
the lower limit.
If the electrolyte in the battery is too much, the liquid may overflow and this may
corrode its surrounding components.
Attention should be paid to avoiding that the electrolyte is too much or is too less.
Charge the battery once a month.

3.6 How to Operate the Welder and Generator Set
3.6.1 Operating the Diesel Engine
(1) Preheat the diesel engine for three minutes under the condition without any
load.
(2) For the diesel engine having the low oil pressure alarm system, it is necessary
to check whether the oil pressure signal indicator lights up.
For the diesel engine having the low oil pressure alarm system, the lubrication oil
alarm indicator will light up when the oil pressure is low or the lubrication is
insufficient, and the diesel engine will stop automatically. If no lubrication oil is
added and you do not make a restart, the diesel engine will still stop immediately.
It is necessary to check the oil height and add some oil.
(3)Do not unfasten the adjustment bolt used for adjusting the speed limit of the
diesel engine or do not unfasten the high-pressure pump limit bolt (they were
adjusted well when delivered from the factory.). Otherwise their performance will
be affected.
3.6.2 Inspection during the Operation
(1) Check whether there is any abnormal sound or vibration.
(2) Check whether the diesel engine does not start or the operation is not good.
(3) Check the exhausted gas color (is it black or is it too while?)
If you find one of the above mentioned phenomena, it is necessary to brake the
set, to find out the trouble cause and shoot the trouble. If the settlement can not
be made, please contact agency of our company nearby, or contact our company
directly.
Adjustment Bolt
-19-

The revolution speed of the generator (50Hz) should be increased up to the rated
speed 3000r/min (the speed handle should be turned to the top.).
(3)At the time of connecting with the generator, all kinds of equipment should be
connected in order. For the matter of the motor load, firstly the large power
motors should be connected. After the operation is normal, then the small power
motors can be connected. If the operation is incorrect, the generator will cause
the running hysteresis or will brake suddenly. It is necessary to unload the load
immediately and to turn off the generator switch. Check where the trouble
appears.
If the circuit overload makes that the air switch of AC circuit trips, it is necessary
to reduce the circuit load. It is not allowed that the set runs under the overload
condition. Maximum output power of the generation for the set should not exceed
the stipulation in Table 1-1. It is necessary to wait for several minutes before
restoring the operation. If the indication on the voltmeter is too low or too high, the
revolution speed can be adjusted. If there is any trouble and any abnormal
running condition, it is necessary to stop the generator for check.
(4) When the selection switch is set onto GEN, the switch is used for the
generation output.
At this time, there is also the welder voltage output at the welder output terminals.
But the output current is smaller, which can be used only for the electric welding
rods below 3.2mm. The welding current to be selected can be only below 130A.
While welding, the load attached at the generation output side should not exceed
1 kW. In such a way, it is possible to ensure a bigger welding current. The set will
supply only the essential illumination at the welding time to avoid the overload.
(5) When the selection switch is set to WELD (welding), the set will supply the
welding output (at this time, there is no voltage output from the generation socket.).
According to the electric welding rods or the operation demand, the current can
be adjusted through the potentiometer knob on the switching board. By adjusting
to a suitable position, the welding can be carried out. If a smaller current is
needed, it is possible to reduce the not be used for a long time. The position for
the rated current is one marks less than maximum position, the rate welding
current is 160A.
(6) Before using the set. It is necessary to firmly connect the welding cable joints
with the wiring terminals and so as to avoid burning out the terminals because of
poor connection.
(7) While the set is in operation, it is necessary to keep good ventilation. The
welder and generator set should not be covered with foreign matter to prevent the
matter from hindering the heat dissipation.

3.7 Loading
3.7.1 Load
Load according to the stipulated parameters. For the electric principle diagram of
the welder and generator set, please see the following figure.
3.7.2 Welder and Generator Output
(1) Be sure that the revolution speed of the welder and generator set be
increased to the rated speed (the speed handle of the diesel engine should be
turned to the top.). Otherwise the automatic voltage adjustment device will
produce the forced excitation. If the running is for a long time under such
condition and AVR will be burned out. For the rated revolution speed of the
generator, please see 1.1. Main Technical Specifications and Data in Chapter 1.
(2) After switching on the air switch, observe the voltmeter on the panel of the
control cabinet and the voltmeter should point to 230V 5% (50Hz),(for 60Hz set,
point to 240 V 5%). At the same time, set the selection switch to GEN
(generation) position. At this time, the AC power supply is supplied from the
power supply socket.
Do not start more than two machines at the same time.
The machines should be started one by one. Do not
use the floodlight at the same time of using other
machines.

3.8.2. Turn off the air switch of the welder and generator set.
3.8.3. Set the speed handle of the engine to RUN position. Carry out the unload
operation of the diesel engine for three minutes. Do not brake the diesel engine
suddenly because this may make that the temperature goes up abnormally to
cause the blocking-up of the oil nozzle and the damage of the diesel engine.
(1) Press the braking handle downwards.
(2) When using the electric starter, turn the key to OFF .
(3) Set the fuel switch handle to S position.
(4) Slowly draw out the recoil handle till you feel the pressure (i.e., at this point of
the compression stroke, the suction and exhaust valves are closed.). Stop the
handle at this position. In such a way, when the engine is not in use, the rusting
can be prevented.
1. When the speed handle is set at stop position and
the diesel engine is still in operation, it is possible to
stop the diesel engine either by setting the fuel switch
to OFF position or by unfastening the high pressure
oil pipe nut. Do not brake the diesel engine by using
the pressure reduction handle.
2. It is not allowed that the set stops with the load. It is
necessary to firstly remove the load and then to stop
the set.

The choice of the electric cable depends on the allowable current of the cable
and the distance between the load and the generator. And the cable section
should be big enough.
If the current in the cable is bigger than the allowable current, it will become over
hot and the cable will be burnt. If the cable is long and thin, the input voltage of
the electric appliance will be not enough, causing that the generator doesn't start.
In the following formula, you can calculate the value of the potential "e".
The relations among of the allowable current, and length, section of the Insulating
cable (single core, multi-core) are as follow:
(Presume that the use voltage is 220V and the potential is below 10V.
