PREFACE Thank you for purchasing AMICO diesel generators. This operation manual will tell you how to operate and service your AMICO generation set correctly. Please read this manual before using the generating set to ensure the proper operation. Follow the instructions to keep your generating set in the best working condition and extend the life of it. If you have any commends or problem, please contact with our sales company or the authorized agent.
OP ST WARNING: ! CAUTION 1. TO PREVENTTHE FIRE Never add fuel to the fuel tank while the engine is running. Wipe off the overflowed fuel oil with a clean cloth. Keep explosives and other flammable products away from the generating set. To prevent the fire and to I~rovide adequate ventilation, keep the generating set at least one meter away from buildings and other equipment during operation. Operate the generating set on a level surface, Do not put the generating set indoors while the engine is hot. 2.
Do not hook up tools or other apparatus to generating set rator before it has been started. If equipment is attached, generator starting may cause sudden movements of the equipment and result in injuries and accidents. Be sure to disconnect any apparatus from the generating set or prior to starting. ! CAUTION Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for start-up. Do not exceed the specified current limit of any socket. Do not connect the generating set to a household circuit.

2.2 Control panel AH6000LN 3. PREPARATION FOR STARTING 3.1 Selection and handling of the fuel oil Selection of fuel oil Only use the light diesel, which is most suitable for the engine, Keep dust and water out of the fuel When filling the fuel tank from drums, make sure that no dust or water is mixed in the fuel.
3.2 Check and refill the engine oil ! WARNING Always check the engine oil 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 oiI as sudden increase in engine speed may be caused by its combustion.
2. Reattach the air cleaner cover and screw on the wing nut. Elelment 3.4 Check the generating set 1. Turn off the main switch and any other loads. Low oil warning lamp ! WARNING Be sure to turn offthe main switch before starting. The generating set should be earthed to prevent electric shocks. AC output receptacle ! WARNING The generating set should be earthed to prevent electdc shocks.
2. Handling of dual voltage type generating sets Be sure to place the changeover switch in the correct position for the rated voltage of the working instrument. Change-over switch ! CAUTION The main switch should always be kept in the "ON" position during operation. Before starting the engine, be sure to turn the switches of the working instrument (lighting apparatus, motor, etc.) to their "OFF" position.
Avoid applying any heavy loads during the break-in pedod AMICO recommends to run the engine at 3600 r/min with 50% load in break-in period. Replace the engine oil on time. Replace the engine oil while the engine is warm after 20-hours -running. the old engine oil will be drained out completely. Approx. one month or 20hours Every 3 months or 100 hours 4. START THE GENERATING SET ! WARNING Do not hook up tools or other apparatus to the generating set before starting.
1. Starting Open the fuel cock. Set the engine speed lever at "RUN" position. Engine speed lever Engine speed aver Photo shows shows RUN RUN position position Photo Turn the starting key clockwise to "START" position. Remove your hand from the key as soon as the engine starts. If the starting motor does not start after 10 seconds, wait 15 seconds before starting it again. Engine starter key ! CAUTION Run the starting motor for long time will cost the battery power greatly even burn out the molor.
2. Battery 1.when you install it,frist check batteryís polarity if it is same with generatorís anode &cathode line,check volt if it is 12.3V,otherwise must electricize, 2.every month check volt if it is right,free charge maintenance batteryís charge,volt is 13.5V-14.5v 3.check electric systerm if it have creepage,otherwise damage battery, 4.if batteryís volt is not enough,electrica energy is low,please remove of battery and electricize, on time,only have 5-6hours is ok, 5.
! CAUTION For the generating set with Low Oil Warning System, the Oil Alarm Lamp will activated by Iow oil pressure or engine oil shortage, simultaneously, the engine will stop. The engine will stop immediately if restarted without refilling the engine oil Check the oil level and refill. Do not loosen or readjust either the engine speed limiting bolt or fuel injection limiting bolt, otherwise, the performance will be affected. 5.2 Checks during the running 1.
6.1 AC application 1. Be sure to run the generating set at rated speed, otherwise capacitor will produce the forced excitation. If the running is for a long time under such condition. capacitor will be burned out, 2. After switching on the air switch, observe the voltmeter on the panel of the control cabinet, the voltmeter should point to 120V + 5%(60Hz) for single-phase gener ating set; 120V/240V+ 5%(60Hz) for single-phase generating set, then the loading can be carried out. 3.
! CAUTION Connect the positive and negative poles of the battery with the positive and negative poles of DC terminals separately. Do not confuse them, otherwise the battery and generating set will burn out Do not connect the positive pole of the battery with its negative pole, otherwise the battery damage will result, Do not connect the positive pole of the DC terminal with its negative pole.
6.3 Electrical appliance particularly motor-driven equipment will produce very high current while starting, the below table provides the reference for connecting these apparatus to the generator set. WATTAGE TYPE STARTING RATED Incandescent lamp Heating appliance Xl Xl Fluorescent lamp X2 Xl .
7.STOP THE GENERATING SET 1. Disconnect the load from the generating set. 2. Turn off the breaker of the generating set. 3. Set the speed lever at "RUN" position, run the generating set without load for about 3 minutes.
! WARNING Shut off the engine before performing any service. If the engine must be run, make sure the area is well ventilated. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. After the generating set has been used, clean it immediately with a cloth to prevent corrosion and to remove sedimenh.
8.1 Replace engine oil Remove the oil filler cap. Remove the drain plug and drain the old oil while the engine is still warm. The plug is located on the bottom of the cylinder block. Tighten the drain plug and refill with the recommended oil. Oil fillercap/Dipstick Drain plug 8.2 Clean the engine oil filter Cleaning time Every 6 months or 500 hours Replace if necessary Oil filter Drain plug 8.3 Replace the air cleaner element Do not clean the air cleaner element with detergent.
1. Drain out the fuel from the fuel tank. Loosen the three small screws and remvoe the fuel filter 2. Drain out the fuel from the fuel tank.Screw off the small screw of the fuel cock and pull out the filter from the filler port. 3. Wash the filter thoroughly with diesel fuel.Loosen the fastening nut, bottom cover and delivery discs for cleaning the deposit carbon. 8.5 Tighten cylinder head bolt Tightening the cylinder head bolt requires a special tool. Do not try yourself. Contact with AMICO agent. 8.
8.7 Check the battery and charge the battery 1.when you install it,frist check batteryís polarity if it is same with generatorís anode &cathode line,check volt if it is 12.3V,otherwise must electricize, 2.every month check volt if it is right,free charge maintenance batteryís charge,volt is 13.5V-14.5v 3.check electric systerm if it have creepage,otherwise damage battery, 4.if batteryís volt is not enough,electrica energy is low,please remove of battery and electricize, on time,only have 5-6hours is ok, 5.
The diesel engine can not start 19 The specified oil level should be between the upper level and lower level. Clean the nozzle Start the engine according to the start procedures included in this book. Charge it or replace it with a new one. Turn the main switch to ON position. Replace the carbon brush. Check the engine oil level. The nozzle has dirty. The speed and force to pull the recoil starter are not enough, The battery has no electricity.
