Frequently Asked Questions - LF8500iEPL Lifan

Why won't my generator start?

Check that the On/Off switch is in the ON position and the fuel valve is open. Ensure the engine has sufficient oil (low oil shutoff may prevent starting). Inspect the spark plug for cleanliness and gap (0.030 inch). If using choke for cold start, disengage after 3-5 seconds.

How often should I change the engine oil?

Change oil after the first 10 hours of use for break-in, then every 40 hours thereafter. Use SAE 10W-30 (32 oz). Always check oil level before each use.

Can I use this generator indoors?

Never operate indoors or in enclosed spaces. The engine produces carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless gas that can cause death. Only use outdoors away from windows, doors, and vents.

What type of fuel should I use?

Use fresh, regular automotive unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane of 85 and no more than 15% ethanol. Do not mix oil with fuel. Add fuel stabilizer if storing for over 30 days.

How do I store the generator for long periods?

Turn the fuel valve to OFF and let the engine run until it stops. Drain the oil, remove the spark plug, spray lubricant into the cylinder, replace spark plug, pull recoil until resistance. Store in a clean, dry location. Use a waterproof cover.

What does the auto idle control do?

The Auto Idle Control reduces engine speed when no electrical load is connected, saving fuel and reducing noise. It automatically increases speed when power is demanded. Turn it off when starting high-load equipment.

How do I connect the generator to my home?

Only a licensed electrician should connect the generator to your home’s electrical system. Use an approved transfer switch to prevent backfeeding, which can harm utility workers and damage equipment.

Why is my generator not producing electricity?

Check that the AC circuit breaker is ON and the GFCI receptacles are reset (press the reset button with engine running). Verify the pilot light is illuminated. If still no power, call LIFAN support at 1-866-471-7464.

What is the ground connection for?

The earth grounding stud must be connected to a copper grounding stake using at least 16 gauge wire. This protects against electrical shock and ensures safe operation. Follow local electrical codes.

Can I run a 240V appliance on this generator?

Yes, the generator has a 120/240V 30A twist lock receptacle for 240V loads. Plug in a compatible plug (NEMA 14-30). Ensure the appliance is single-phase 60 Hz and does not exceed the rated output.

Operation of Generator

HOW TO USE YOUR GENERATOR

(continued)

LOW OIL ALARM SYSTEM:

This model is equipped with a Low Oil Alert System designed to avoid engine damage from insufficient oil in the crankcase. The Low Oil Alarm System will stop the engine automatically before the oil level in the crankcase drops below safe operating levels.

VOLTAGE FREQUENCY TIME (VFT) METER:

The LF3750, LF3750-CA, LF4000EPL, and LF4000EPL-CA models include a Voltage Frequency Time (VFT) Meter. The VFT Meter has four (4) modes:

• Start Up Mode 1 - The run time for the cycle displayed in minutes. This resets each time the unit is shut off.
• Mode 2 – The run time for the lifetime of the unit displayed in hours. This does NOT reset.
• Mode 3 – Frequency reading of the sine wave of the current output in Hertz. This should be between 56Hz – 64Hz (Hz = Hertz).
• Mode 4 – Voltage reading of the current output in Volts. This should be between 115V – 122V (V=Volts).

To change the mode of the VFT Meter, simply depress the black button on the face of the VFT Meter.

Operation of Generator

HOW TO USE YOUR GENERATOR

(continued)

STOPPING THE GENERATOR: Refer to Controls and Features section for diagram.

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN

1. Turn the Fuel Valve to "OFF" position

NORMAL SHUTDOWN

1. Unplug all electrical loads or turn the main breaker to the "OFF" position.
2. In order to stabilize internal equipment temperatures, allow the engine to run for 3-5 minutes under no load.
3. If the generator will not be in use for more than 7 days, turn the fuel valve to the "OFF" position and allow the unit to run until the fuel in the carburetor is used and the engine shuts itself off.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
5. Allow unit to cool to ambient temperature before storage or transportation.
6. Always transport the generator with the fuel valve in the "OFF" position. Failure to do so will result in damage to the engine.

USAGE IN HIGH ALTITUDE REGIONS:

In regions with high altitude, the standard carburetor produces overly dense combinations of fuel and air, which result in decreased engine performance and increased fuel consumption. To maintain high engine performance at high altitudes, install a high altitude carburetor main spray nozzle and re-adjust the adjusting screw for idle speed. For usage in regions with an altitude of over 4,527ft (1380m), contact your dealer to replace the standard carburetor and make needed adjustments in advance. Even with a proper high altitude carburetor spray nozzle installed in the engine, the power output of the engine will drop about 3.5% with every 1000ft (305m) increase in altitude. If the standard carburetor jets are not replaced and adjusted for usage in high altitude, the increased altitude effect will be even more severe.

NOTE: Usage of the water pump in regions with lower altitude than the high altitude carburetor spray nozzle is applicable, may result in decrease of engine performance. The engine may become overheated and over-lean combination of fuel and air produced, may cause severe damage to the engine.
