The following items should be paid attention to when using diesel generator sets:
1. Pay attention to the usage occasions
1) The generator should be placed outdoors or in a well-ventilated place in the machine room when in use. , not close to doors, windows and vents to avoid carbon monoxide entering the room.
2) Do not use generators near flammable and explosive materials.
3) The generator should be placed in a dry place. If it needs to be installed in the open air, it must be shielded by a canopy-type building to prevent contact accidents due to moisture.
2. Pay attention to the storage and use of fuel
1) Generator fuel should be stored in a dedicated warehouse, and the facilities in the warehouse must comply with the regulations of the fire department.
2) The type of fuel used should be consistent with the requirements on the generator instruction manual or label.
3) Before adding fuel, the generator should be turned off first, and then added after the generator has cooled down to prevent the fuel from gradually reaching the higher temperature parts and catching fire, causing disaster.
3. Pay attention to the wiring connection of the generator
1) The specifications of the outdoor wiring must meet the requirements of the electrical load used.
2) When using an extended wire, make sure it is well insulated from the ground.
3) The outlet wire of the generator cannot be directly plugged into the original power socket of the residence to provide power. This will cause feedback and may cause electric shock to users powered by the same transformer. The correct connection is for an electrician to install a power transfer switch.
4. Keep diesel fuel clean.
Before using oil barrels to fill diesel fuel, it must undergo sufficient sedimentation, and the sedimentation time is preferably more than 3 days. When refueling, it should also be carefully filtered to prevent the mixing of mechanical impurities. The oil storage container and refueling tools should also be kept clean during operation.
5. Other fuels cannot be mixed into the diesel of the unit.
If there are other fuels in the diesel, the combustion performance will be significantly worse, resulting in difficulty in starting or even failure to start. Other fuel entering the cylinder will also wash away the cylinder lubricating oil film and accelerate cylinder wear.
6. Try to use high-quality diesel.
The quality of diesel is directly related to whether the diesel engine can operate normally. If you use poor quality diesel, on the one hand, it will reduce the power of the diesel engine due to poor combustion, making it insufficient in power; on the other hand, if it is used for a long time, it will accelerate the wear of various parts of the fuel system and reduce the service life of the diesel engine. Therefore, try to use diesel of good quality and suitable brand.
