Meijer.com Preface Thank you for purchasing this ALL-Power Generator. We are proud of our products and have designed this unit for years of safe, reliable service. This manual will instruct you in the proper operation and service of your All-Power generator. Please read this manual prior to using the generator to insure safe and proper operation. At all times, follow the instructions to keep your generator in the best working condition and to extend its life.
Meijer.com Warning: 1. Prevent the threat of fire o Never add fuel while the engine is running. o Wipe off any spilled fuel with a clean cloth before starting. o Keep all explosive and flammable items safely away from the generator. o Maintain adequate ventilation with at least three feet of clear space on all sides of the generator from buildings and other pieces of equipment. o NEVER operate this unit in a closed room or garage.
Meijer.com o Note: This generator is not waterproof and therefore should not be placed in rain, snow, standing water or any area where there could be water spray. Operating a unit in these environments may cause electrical short circuits that can cause electrical shocks. o This generator should also be grounded to prevent electrical shocks from faulty appliances. To ground this unit, simply connect a length of heavy copper wire between the unit and a ground source.

Meijer.com 3. Before Starting Your Generator 3.1 Selection and handling of diesel fuel Only use light diesel fuel Keep dust and water out of the fuel. Failure to do so will create problems with the injection pump and nozzles. Do not overfill the tank beyond the red plug inside the fuel oil filter. Doing so can be very dangerous. Warning: Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near where you are refueling or where the fuel is stored.
Meijer.com Oil Selection It is very important that you select the proper engine oil to maintain the life and performance of your generator. If inferior or the wrong weight oil is used, or if your engine oil is not replaced periodically, there is a risk of major damage to your engine due to overheating. All-Power recommends CC/CD oil only classified by API. Choose the applicable viscosity according to your local temperature. 3.3 Servicing the air filter 1.
Meijer.com 3.4 Checking the Generator 1. Low oil warning lamp Make certain that you turn off the main switch and any other electrical load before inspecting the generator. Warning: Turn off the main switch before starting AC output receptacle Ground terminal The generator must be grounded to prevent electrical shocks. 2. Operating dual voltage generators. Make sure that you use the correct outlet for the rated voltage of the device being powered.
Meijer.com 3.5 How to open the cabinet door and remove the protective covers of the generator. 1. Always open the generator cabinet door and inspect the engine prior to starting the generator. To do this, simply turn the lever counterclockwise and raise the door. 2. Loosen the wing nut of the air cleaner and inspect the cleaner. 3. Open the wing nut on the cover and inspect the nozzle cover. 3.
Meijer.com 4. Starting the Generator Warning: Do not plug in tools or devices prior to starting your generator. 4.1 Electric Starting 1. Starting ( The preparations for electric starting are the same as for recoil starting) Open the fuel valve Set the engine speed lever on ENGINE SPEED LEVER “RUN” Turn the ignition key clockwise to the “START” position removing your hand from the key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not start in 10 seconds, wait 15 seconds and repeat the process.
Meijer.com 2. Battery: If the battery has an open cell design, check the water level every month. If it is low, refill using distilled water until the cell is full. If the battery is a sealed unit, checks for cracks and leaks. Caution If the distilled water level is too low, the engine may fail to start because there isn’t sufficient battery power. If the water level is too high, the fluid will corrode surrounding parts shortening the life of the battery.
Meijer.com the engine will automatically stop. If you attempt to start the generator without addressing the problem, the unit will not start. When the “low oil” light illuminates, check the oil level first to make certain that there is adequate oil in the reservoir. Do not adjust either the engine governor bolt that controls engine speed or the fuel injection bolt that controls fuel mix. Doing so will affect the overall performance of your generator. 5.
Meijer.com When the dual voltage generator exceeds or is below these levels, then the “air” switch should be in the “OFF” position. If not both the generator and the devices powered by it can be damaged. Always connect devices to the generator with the highest demand device first and then the lesser demand devices afterward. If the operation becomes overloaded, the generator engine will lag or stop suddenly.
Meijer.com Caution Identify and connect positive-to-positive and negative-to-negative poles from, the battery to the engine. Crossing the wires will destroy both the battery and the electrical components of your generator. If you attempt to use a larger battery than recommended you will create excessive current that will blow the fuse in the generator. Do not attempt to operate the generator while it is still connected to the battery. Do not use a 12V battery and AC current at the same time.
Meijer.com 6.3 All electrical appliances, particularly motor driven equipment, have extremely highly levels of current draw during their start-up period. The table below provides a quick reference regarding connecting different types of devices to the generator.
Meijer.com 7. Stopping Your Generator Step I: Disconnect all electrical plugs from the generator outlets before turning off the generator! Step II: Turn off the “AIR” switch on the generator. Step III: Set the speed level in the “run” position, operating the generator for about three minutes with nothing plugged in. Note: Do Not stop the generator without this step, as the operating temperature of the engine will increase thereby damaging the unit.
Meijer.com 8. Periodic Maintenance and Testing Periodic inspections and service are very important for maintaining your generator’s engine in proper working order. The following chart indicates your inspection and service frequency. Please keep this chart handy and refer to it as needed. Warning: Turn off the engine before performing any service. If the engine must be in operation, only do so in a well ventilated area as the exhaust contains carbon monoxide which can be fatal.
Meijer.com 8.1 Replacing the Engine Oil 1. Operate the engine for two to three minutes without allowing the engine 2. Turn off the engine 3. While the engine is still swarm, to get hot. remove the oil filter cap and the drain plug located on the bottom of the cylinder block, allowing the old oil to drain. Insert the drain plug, refill with recommended oil and place the oil filter cap back on the engine. Remember to recycle your oil as it is a major cause of soil pollution. 8.
Meijer.com 1. 2. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Remove the small screw from the fuel valve, removing the fuel filter from its port. 3. Wash the filter thoroughly with diesel fuel. 4. Loosen the fastening nut, bottom cover and delivery discs for removing any carbon. 5. Replace the filter and all parts to their original position. 8.5 Tightening the Cylinder Head Bolt Tightening the cylinder head requires a special tool.
Meijer.com 8.7 Checking refilling and charging the battery Your diesel generator uses a 12V battery for starting. Through use, the battery may naturally lose some of its charge along with the distilled water inside. Before starting your generator, periodically check for physical damage to the battery and also the fluid levels. If the battery is damaged, replace it. If the fluid levels are low, fill each cell with distilled water as needed.
Meijer.com 9. Long-Term Storage If your plan on storing your generator for periods of time exceeding one month, please follow these guidelines: 1. Operate the engine for two to three minutes. Do not allow the engine to get hot. 2. Turn off the engine 3. While the engine is still warm, drain the crankcase oil by opening the oil drain plug. 4. When all oil has drained, replace the plug and refill the oil reservoir with clean oil. 5.
