If you don’t know how to install a generator set after purchasing it, I will now provide you with detailed
installation steps and precautions for the generator set.Preparation work for installation of generator sets, on-site precautions,
and simple troubleshooting.
1、 Preparation work to determine the working environment of the generator set: fixed foundation, space,
ventilation, and protection
1. The place where the generator set is installed should ensure a flat concrete ground, measure the bearing capacity and size.
2. You should reserve sufficient space at the location where you install the generator set, and the distance from the power
generation to the wall should not be less than 1.5 meters.
If your generator set is installed with windows at both the indoor air inlet and outlet to ensure smooth ventilation.Because
prolonged high-temperature operation affects the lifespan of the generator set.
4. The generator set should also be equipped with professional sand proof air filtration devices in areas with frequent
sandstorms.
2、 Preparation for on-site construction of generator set
1. Prepare crane or forklift unloading machinery in advance when transporting the generator set to the site.
2. You also need to prepare cables according to the on-site situation.We did not have the generator set to your load equipment
when it was shipped, so the cables for this distance need to be purchased by ourselves.
3. Prepare to recharge consumables such as fuel, antifreeze, and engine oil as essential items for testing the unit.All of these are
not suitable for factory production.
4. Installation of ventilation ducts on site.3、 Familiarize oneself with the operation of the generator set in advance
1. Contact the dealer in advance for the operating instructions of the unit, familiarize yourself with basic operations and
principles such as startup and shutdown.
2. Parameter viewing on the control interface: data parameters such as current, voltage, load power, etc.
3. Video on adding and replacing engine oil and antifreeze.
4. Understand the nameplate of the generator set, output power, rated power, and whether it meets your needs.
4、 Debugging and testing of generator sets
1. After everything is installed, check whether the connecting cables of the generator set are loose, and whether there are leaks
in fuel, antifreeze, etc. for a comprehensive inspection.
2.After confirming that there are no issues, start the generator set for no-load testing to check if the voltage and frequency meet
the requirements of your load equipment.
3. If there are no issues with the initial startup test, you can start using it with load.80% load is the most suitable state for longterm operation of a general generator set, 100% load does not exceed 1 hour, and 120% load is only used for short-term use.
5、 Common installation troubleshooting
1. Startup failure, battery malfunction
If the battery level of the generator set you purchased decreases during a transportation period of up to 20 days, and the first
start-up is unsuccessful, you can use electrical equipment to check if the battery is running low, and then charge it according to
the situation.
2. Startup failed due to air malfunction in the inlet pipe
You need to empty the air in the fuel pipeline when you first start it up, and giving up the generator set for a long time also has
this fault.
3. Electrical malfunction caused by equipment not running under load
If the generator set you purchased is three-phase, when connecting the load equipment, it is necessary to determine whether the
phase continuity of the line is the same as your load.
6、 Operation and maintenance of generator sets
1. Refer to the instruction manual to clearly understand the maintenance cycle of the generator set
2. Understanding the shelf life and replacement cycle of engine oil and antifreeze
3. Train users on daily inspection of work belts, operating sound, and cumulative power generation.
