WPE DIESEL GENERATORS
Charging the battery
Battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. Protect
your eyes, skin and clothing. In case of contact, flush
thoroughly with water and get prompt attention,
especially if your eyes are affected.
Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which can flames or
sparks near a battery, especially during charging.
Charge the battery in a fully ventilated area.

Know how to stop the generator quickly, and
understand how to operate all of the controls. Never
permit anyone to operate the generator without
proper instruction.
Always wear a helmet, safety shoes and proper
clothing. Keep pets and children away from the
generator when it is in operation.
PREPARATION BEFORE START
Selection and handling of fuel
– Only light diesel fuel can be used.
– The fuel must be filtered .
– Fuel should be free of water or dust because these
can contaminate the fuel injection system.
– Do not overfill the tank beyond the top of the red plug
inside the fuel tank filter, use fuel gauge on top of tank.
– Do not smoke and allow sparks in the area where the
engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.
– Do not spill fuel when refueling, make sure the filter
cap is securely closed.
Selection and handling of oil
– Set the generator on a level surface.
– Fill the engine oil into the inlet.
– To check the oil level, simply dip the dipstick into the
pan. Do not screw in the dipstick when checking.
WARNING
PREPARATION BEFORE START
Nothing effects the performance and durability of
the generator more than the oil you use. If inferior oil
is used or if your engine oil is not changed regularly,
the risk of piston seizure, piston ring sticking and
accelerated wear of the cylinder liner, bearings and
other moving components increase significantly.
– Make sure to check the oil level and to refill with oil to
the specified level before starting the generator, even
though it is equipped with a low oil pressure warning
system.
– If your generator doesn't start by the 5th attempted or
starts and cuts out, your oil level is to low and needs to
topped up.
Oil should be changed after the first 10 hours (or 1
month) of use and then every 3 months or 100 hours
of use.
Always drain the oil while the engine is warm but
not hot . It is difficult to drain the oil completely after
cooling.
As a general rule oil is full when it can be visually
seen on the middle - upper threads of the port. Do not
over fill otherwise this will result in degraded engine
performance and possible damage to engine.

NEVER add or attempt to change oil into the
generator while the engine is running.
Check air filter
– Loosen the wing nut, detach the cover of air cleaner
and remove the element. Do not wash air cleaner
element with detergent . Use water or petrol (MUST
allow to dry before replacing).
– The air cleaner element must be changed when the
output of engine decreases or the color of exhaust is
abnormal.
– Never run the generator without the air cleaner
element. This may cause rapid engine wear.
– Reattach the cover of air cleaner and tighten the wing
nut.
Ensure no load on generator
– Turn off the main circuit breaker and any other loads.
– Be sure to turn off the main circuit breaker before
starting the generator. If the switch is not on the "OFF"
