air-cool genset is cooling by air . if altitude is more than 1000m , air will be
rarefaction , so the effect will be not good . In case overheating , for gensets which are
using in high altitude (more than 1000m) , it should be running in low load . Also it
dosent mean that gensets can be overload if altitude is less than 1000m .

3. PREPARATION FOR STARTING

3.1 Selection and handling of the fule oil
Selection of fule oil.
Only use the light diesel, which is most suitable for the engine.
Keep dust and water out of the fule
When filling the fule tank from druns, make sure that no dust or water is mixed in
the fule. Otherwise the serious fule injection pump and nozzle problems will
result.
Do not overfill
Overfilling is very dangerous. Do not fill the tank beyond the top of the red plug
inside the fule oil filter.
WARNING
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is
refueled or where the fule oill stored.
Do not overfill the tank, make sure the filler cap is securely closed after
refueling.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the
area is dry before starting the engine.
3.2 Check and refill the engine oil
WARNING
Always check the engine oill level with the generating set on a level surface
before
starting and refill if necessary.
The engine may be damaged if operated with insufficient engine oil, it is also
dangerous to refill too much engine oill as sudden increase in engine speed
may be caused by its combustion.
CAUTION :
LDE series generating set are equipped with low oil warning system.
This system will stops the engine automatically when the oil level falls below the

lower level. This prevents accidents such as bearing seizures, etc.
Select the most applicable engine oil
It is very important to select the applicable engine oil for keep up the performance
and life of the generating set. If inferior engine oil is used, or if your engine oil is
not replaced periodically, the risk of piston seizure, piston ring sticking and
accelerated wear of the cylinder liner, bearing and other moving components
increases significantly. So the generating set life will be shortened. - -
recommends CC/CD oil classified by APL.Choose the applicable viscosity oil
according to the local ambient temperature.
3.3 Service the air cleaner
1. Screw off the wing nut, remove the air
cleaner cover and take out the element
CAUTION:
Do not wash the element with
detergent.
Replace the element when its output
decrease or a bad exhaust color is
noticed.
Never run the generating set without
the element, otherwise the rapid engine
wear will result.
2. Reattach the air cleaner cover and screw
on the wing nut.

3.4 Check the generating set
1. Turn off the main switch and any other
loads.
WARNING:
Be sure to turn off the main switch before

WARNING:
The generating set should be earthed to
prevent electric shocks.
Protection against electrical shock
depends on circuit breakers specially
matched to the generating set. If the
circuit breakers require replacement they
must be replaced with a circuit breaker
having identical ratings and performance
characteristics.
2. Handling of dual voltage type generat-
ing sets
Be sure to place the changeover switch
in the correct position for the rated volt-
tage of the working instrument.
