3-1.5 Battery check

Make s

ure the battery acid is full. The engine uses a 12V battery. Due to

numerous s

tarting cycles, the battery acid may be used up. Also, before

filling, v

erify 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.

3-2 Storing for long periods of time

If y

our generator needs to be stored for long periods of time, the following

preparations should be made.

1. Start the diesel engine for 3 minutes

then stop it.

2. When the engine is still warm, change the engine oil with new engine oil of the

proper grade.

3. Pull the rubber plug out of the cylind

er head cover and put 2CC of lubricating

oil in it, then cover the plughole up again.

4. For manual starting generator welders, press the decompression handle down

and pull the recoil handle 2 or 3 times. This pushes the intake out. (Do not

start the engine)

5. For electric started generator welders, press the decompression handle down

and crank the engine for 2-3 seconds. To do this, put the starter switch in the

“Start” position. (Do not start the diesel engine)

6. Finally, pull the recoil starter until you feel resistance; this is when the piston is

on the compression stroke where the

intake and exhaust valves are closed.

Having the intake and exhaust valves closed will prevent rust, as moisture

cannot get inside the combustion chamber.

7. Clean the engine and store it in a dry

place.
