Automotive Type Electronic Fuel Injection System

This generator has a computer-controlled fuel and ignition system. An on-board computer, referred to in this manual as an ECU (Engine Control Unit) utilizes a series of virtual maps (lookup tables) that provide values for various aspects of engine performance. The ECU analyzes data provided through the various engine sensors to determine the best combination of values from these lookup tables to provide optimum performance. This is communicated to the generator components through the use of digital signals. This is in contrast to non-computer-controlled ignition systems that rely on mechanical feedback, and sometimes vacuum, to control the motion of the various components.

This generator is equipped with an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, which provides increased efficiency over carbureted fuel systems. In a carbureted fuel system, the fuel and air are mixed in a carburetor that relies on a mechanical choke system controlling the rate of air intake to maintain the vacuum necessary to mix the fuel with air for combustion.

In a fuel injection system, the ECU calculates and adjusts the fuel mixture directly, based on real-time feedback, allowing for greater fuel and emissions efficiency. The ECU also controls the timing for the spark plug, dynamically controlling the speed of the engine depending on requirements for power generation.

When there is a problem reported by a generator component (such as an engine sensor), the ECU stores a fault code for it. These fault codes can be read in the Wattage (P) field of the digital display, and then used to identify the issue and correct it. For more information on fault codes and how to access them, refer to the Fault codes section of this manual. For more information on the digital display and its use, refer to the Digital display section of this manual.

GROUNDING THE GENERATOR: Refer to the diagram below.

1. Connect the Ground Terminal on the generator to an acceptable source of electrical ground, such as a copper-grounding stake, using copper electrical wire with a minimum diameter of 16 gauge.

BATTERY ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE:

1. Remove Left Access Panel.
2. Insert battery into battery tray.
3. Install battery cover and tighten clamping nuts.
4. Disassemble the setscrew, then connect the wires. The red terminal is anode (+) and the black terminal is cathode (-).
5. Reinstall Left Access Panel.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR BATTERY

When the key is turned to the ON position the display illuminates, the ECU turns on, the fuel pump turns on long enough to bring up the fuel pressure, and the stepper motor is energized for proper throttle position for starting. Because of the power requirements of these components, the battery in this generator is considered dead at a higher voltage than it would be in other types of equipment. The battery must have a charge of at least 10.5V to be able to start the generator, even by recoil. If the battery has a charge in the range of 10-10.5V, the generator may crank very well, but the starter will be drawing most of the power, depriving the other components of the power they need to successfully start the generator. There must be a battery charge in excess of 10.5V to ensure that all of the components have the power necessary to start the generator.

During normal use, the generator engine will be shut off with either the remote fob, the ignition key, or by pressing the red STOP button on the control panel. This manual provides instructions, notes, and warnings dealing with each of those methods of stopping the generator. But the

engine may shut off for any of the following reasons:

• The generator may run out of gas.
• The generator may run low on oil.
- The ECU may shut off the engine due to an error reported by a sensor.

These shutdowns may occur when you are not present. When the generator engine shuts off, there will still be a drain on the battery due to the display, the ECU, and the stepper motor, as long as the key is in the ON position. Although the ESI-4000iER-EFI is equipped with a sleep mode that shuts down these components when the generator is not running, the sleep mode circuit will still be monitoring the generator, and over time this circuit will drain the battery below the 10.5V necessary to start the generator. You must turn the key to the OFF position, and turn off the remote switch, to shut off the electronics completely.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR BATTERY

If you are operating the generator through the remote fob and the engine is not running, the remote switch will blink red to remind you to turn the remote switch off. Whenever the remote switch is on, it is drawing current from the battery. When the engine is not running, the battery will not be charged to compensate for the load from the remote receiver, and over time the battery will be drained below the 10.5V necessary to start the generator. You must turn off the remote switch when you will not use the remote fob to start the generator.

If the generator will not start, check the battery voltage with a voltmeter. You can access the battery through the left maintenance door, or you can simply check the voltage through the battery charge receptacle on the control panel. This receptacle is connected directly to the battery, so it can be used without the generator running, or the key in the ON position, or the remote switch on.

If the battery voltage is below 10.5V, you must charge the battery by connecting the included battery trickle charger to the battery charge receptacle on the control panel (“back-charging”), or directly to the battery leads. Allow the battery to charge fully before attempting to start the generator.

BATTERY ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE:

1. Remove Left Access Panel.
2. Insert battery into battery tray.
3. Install battery cover and tighten clamping nuts.
4. Disassemble the setscrew, then connect the wires. The red terminal is anode (+) and the black terminal is cathode (-).
5. Reinstall Left Access Panel.

1. Remove all electrical loads from the generator and investigate the cause of the overload.
2. Press the (green) overload reset button or reset the circuit protector.

The digital display will remain illuminated and returning data during normal operating conditions.

If the generator is overloaded (in excess of 4000 W), or if there is a short in the connected appliance, the values in the digital display will become zero, the message OVER will appear in the wattage (P) field of the display, and the power output will stop.

OPERATION OF GENERATOR HOW TO USE YOUR GENERATOR

NOTE

Before connecting or reconnecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order, and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator.

This generator has been designed to prevent the engine from "overspeed" revving. Overspeed revving occurs when a generator's on-board monitoring systems detect a drop in voltage from the

inverter, and the generator attempts to compensate by revving the engine higher to generate more electricity. In the rare event of an inverter failure, there will be no voltage output from the inverter, and the engine will remain revving at or close to its top speed. Overspeed revving fora prolonged period can damage internal components due to increased heat from the engine. With an inverter failure, each of the following three symptoms will be present:

• The ECU will draw the engine down to idling speed.
• The digital display will indicate zero (0) Volts.
• The 120 V receptacles will not supply voltage, regardless of breaker settings.

If your generator exhibits this behavior (it only idles, producing no voltage), take the generator to an authorized Lifan Power USA service center for servicing.

NOTE: Use the running and starting wattage provided by the equipment manufacturer if available. If not available, use provided “Generator Wattage Reference Worksheet.”

OUTPUT AND OVERLOAD INDICATOR:

The GREEN Output Indicator Light will illuminate at normal operating conditions.

The RED Output Indicator Light will illuminate when the generator is overloaded, if there is a short circuit in a connected appliance, or if Low Oil Alarm System has been tripped.

OPERATION OF GENERATOR HOW TO USE YOUR GENERATOR

If the RED Output Indicator Light illuminates, STOP the engine and determine the cause of overload by:

- Checking the appliance(s) for proper operation, electrical shorts, and malfunctions. Also ensure the generator has the ability to provide the required starting and running watts of the connected appliance(s).

- Ensuring all appliances is in the "OFF" position upon starting the generator. Only start the connected appliance(s) when the GREEN Output Indicator Light is illuminated and the generator is providing the necessary power to run the connected appliance(s).

Before connecting or reconnecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order, and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator.

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. This will cause the RED Output Indicator Light to illuminate. Though the engine will stop running, the ignition switch will remain in the “START” position. Turn to the “STOP” position.

STOPPING THE GENERATOR

Refer to Controls and Features section for diagram.

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN

1. Push the on/off switch to the "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 "STOP" 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.

Fuel Filter Element Removal

MAINTENANCE

If the generator has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow it to cool before proceeding.

Fuel Filter Element Assembly

Spark Arrestor Maintenance

• The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to maintain its efficiency, or a decrease in Horsepower may occur.

• Because of the size of the spark arrester opening in the exhaust grille you may decide that you do not want to take off the grille. This will not cause an issue unless you drop the arrester or the clamp or screws behind the grille. Taking the grille off or leaving it on is a matter of your convenience, but the procedure below will include removing the grille.

• Remove the exhaust grille to access the spark arrestor.

• Remove the screws holding the clamp and the spark arrester to the muffler.
• Clean the spark arrestor with a stiff wire brush.
• Replace if the wire mesh is perforated or torn.
• Reinstall the spark arrester and the clamp.
• Reinstall the exhaust grille.

TRANSPORTING THE GENERATOR

To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary storage, the generator should be secured upright in its normal operating position with the ignition switch "OFF" and turn the fuel cap vent to off position.

When transporting the generator:

- Do not operate the generator while it is on or in a vehicle.

- If you must transport the generator in an enclosed vehicle, drain all fuel from the generator.

During short term storage, the generator should be secured upright in its normal operating position with the on/off switch turned "OFF".

Avoid placing the generator in direct sunlight when storing.

If the generator is left in an enclosed area or vehicle, high temperatures inside could cause residual fuel to vaporize resulting in possible explosion.

LONG-TERM STORAGE OF THE GENERATOR

During long term storage, the generator should be secured upright in its normal operating position with the switch turned "OFF".

Avoid placing the generator in direct sunlight when storing.

• If the generator is left in an enclosed area or vehicle, high temperatures inside could cause residual fuel to vaporize resulting in possible explosion.
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions.

WARNING

- Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area.

- During long-term storage, or infrequent use of your equipment, it is important to add a fuel stabilizer, such as STA-BIL® Fuel Stabilizer, to help prevent fuel oxidation (breakdown) and the formation of gum and varnish, and to inhibit corrosion in the fuel system.

LONG-TERM STORAGE OF THE GENERATOR

1. Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust, and out of direct sunlight.

2. It is best to keep the tank at least 95 % full, as condensation will be less likely to occur in the fuel tank during storage if the tank is full. Do not overfill the tank, as the fuel will need room to expand on hot days. Add an appropriate amount of fuel stabilizer (per the instructions on the bottle) and run the generator for 5 minutes to ensure that any fuel trapped in the system has the stabilizer in it. You may also opt to add the fuel stabilizer and run the unit until it is out of fuel.

If you opt to drain the fuel, then continue on with the instructions below.

1. To drain the gasoline from the fuel tank, turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.

2. Siphon the fuel from the tank.

3. Change the engine oil.

4. Remove the spark plug and pour about a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the cylinder.

5. Crank the engine several revolutions to distribute the oil and then reinstall the spark plug.

6. Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the piston is coming up on its compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust valves are closed. Storing the engine in this position will help to protect it from internal corrosion.

7. Turn the remote switch to the "OFF" position to prevent unwanted, unintentional cranking and excessive battery drain.

8. Once a month, recharge the battery.

SHORT-TERM STORAGE

For Short Term storage of your power equipment product, typically 30 days or more, perform the following:

During short term storage, the generator should be secured upright in its normal operating position with the switch turned "OFF".

Avoid placing the generator in direct sunlight when storing.

WARNING

- If the generator is left in an enclosed area or vehicle, high temperatures inside could cause residual fuel to vaporize resulting in possible explosion.

- Place the unit in a clean, dry, and secure location.

- Cover with "LIFAN Water Proof Generator Cover," Item Number LF100-69600 not included) or canvas/vinyl tarpaulin. Do NOT operate unit with cover installed.

EXERCISING THE GENERATOR

It is essential that the generator be exercised on a regular basis. This will prevent the accumulation of varnish or sludge in the fuel system; remove moisture from the generator windings and help keep the battery properly charged. Additionally, the engine seals and moving components will be lubricated. Exercise the generator by running it with at least a 1/2 load (1800W) for 15 minutes per month. Gasoline fuel treatments (such as STA-BIL®) to prevent contamination of your fuel supply are available from your dealer.

NOTE: Fuel varnishing necessitating replacement of the fuel injector is not a warrantable failure.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START:

1. Check to ensure switches are in the "ON" position.
2. Check engine oil level. Your unit possesses a Low Oil Alarm System that will not allow your engine to start if the oil is below safe operating levels. This feature is installed to increase the life of your engine and prevent engine damage. If oil level is low, fill to the full mark on dipstick. Refer to the Product Specifications for exact oil type and amounts.
3. Add fuel stabilizer. Turn fuel shut-off valve to "off" position, run unit until fuel in fuel lines and carburetor has burned out of system.
4. Check the fuel level to insure adequate fuel. Add fuel if necessary.
5. Remove and inspect the spark plug for cleanliness and proper electrode gap. If needed, clean or replace the spark plug. Refer to Spark Plug Maintenance in the Maintenance section of the Owner's Manual for proper procedure.

NOTE: Periodically on the initial start-up or after the unit has been stored for a long period of time, the float for the “Low Oil Alarm System” will stick to the bottom of your oil pan. Locate the two (2) wires to the Low Oil Sensor Diode (refer to figure on the right) located on the side of the engine block. Unplug these wires and, only after ensuring the engine is full of oil, start the engine and allow to run until warm (normally 20 minutes, as this will heat the oil and release the float on the Low Oil Alert System). Then re-plug the wires to the terminals on the Low Oil Alarm Sending Unit.

UNIT DOES NOT PROVIDE ELECTRICAL CURRENT:

1. Plug in a small appliance or tool to test.
2. Check if the AC (or DC) Circuit Breaker is in the "ON" position. If not, place in "ON" position.
3. If your unit still does NOT produce electricity after performing the previous checks, call LIFAN Power USA at 1-866-471-7464, your dealer, or authorized Service Center.

AC APPLICATION

The control panel has two AC breakers: Two (2) 20 A breakers for the 5-20R split duplex receptacle. The 20A breakers each protect one of the circuits in the 5-20R split duplex receptacle; the left 20A breaker protects the top receptacle, and the right 20A breaker protects the bottom receptacle.

Ensure that the breaker is on for the receptacle you want to use.

1. Start the engine.
2. Make sure the digital display is illuminated and returning data.
3. Confirm that the appliance to be used is switched off before plugging into the control panel.
4. Plug the appliance into the control panel.

LOW OIL ALARM SYSTEM

The low oil alarm system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase falls below a safe limit, the low oil alarm system will automatically shut down the engine (the ignition switch will remain in the “ON” position).

If the low oil sensor shuts down the engine, the low oil light (red) will come on when you operate the starter, and the engine will not run. If this occurs, add enough of the approved engine oil to raise the level to the top line on the dipstick.

POWERING 12V DC DEVICES

This generator can be used to power 12V DC devices through the DC receptacle on the control panel while the generator is running. The DC output comes directly from the battery, so powering a DC device places a load on the battery. The DC device should require no more than 12V or draw more than 10A (which is the size of the DC breaker). The voltage regulator recharging the internal battery is designed for a maximum charge amperage of 11-12A, so as long as the generator is running the internal battery should not be drained.

NOTE

- The generator does not have to be running to power a DC device, but if the generator is not running the battery will be drained, and you may have to recharge the battery before you can start the generator again.

Back-charging the generator battery

This generator battery can be back-charged through the DC receptacle by the included battery trickle charger). The generator does not have to be running to back-charge the battery, and there are no special considerations for switches to be on or off for the battery to charge, though if the generator is not running, the remote switch should be in the “OFF” position.

NOTE

- The ECU and fuel pump require the battery to retain some charge, or the generator can't be started, even by recoil. It may be necessary to charge the battery before the generator can be started at all.

- Connect the polarized connector of the battery charger to the DC receptacle.

- Charge the battery for 3 hours. If you are using the included Plug-In Trickle Charger, charge the battery until the status indicator goes from red to green.

JUMP-STARTING THE GENERATOR

This generator was not designed to be jump-started through the DC receptacle and it is not recommended to do so. If you connect an external battery to the DC receptacle before the generator is started and attempt to start the generator with the key fob or the ignition switch, a jump-start may occur, but it will likely trip the DC breaker. It is recommended to connect external batteries to the DC receptacle using the procedure given in Charging External Batteries. If however, you do trip the DC breaker, press the breaker reset button located next to the DC receptacle on the control panel.

ENGINE WILL NOT START

Engine will not crank with the key or remote start

NO OUTPUT AT THE DC RECEPTACLE

DIGITAL DISPLAY

This generator is equipped with an LCD digital display that provides continuously-updated status information for the following parameters:

• (U) Voltage—Current voltage supplied
• (I) Amperage for the generator output
• (P) Wattage (power) output for the generator
• (T) Run time—Total generator run time since first start (in hours)
• (FUEL) Fuel level (bar reading)

NOTE

- It is normal for the run time indicator to have 1-2 hours on the meter from the factory for testing and quality assurance inspections. Within a few seconds of illumination, the display will begin to show new data, and at that point the generator is ready to supply power.

ERROR - FAULT CODES DIGITAL READ-OUT

The low oil alarm system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase falls below a safe limit, the low oil alarm system will automatically shut down the engine (the ignition switch will remain in the “ON” position).

CONVERTING AMPS OR HORSEPOWER INTO WATTS

If necessary, use these formulas:

Watts = Amps x Volts

Running Watts* = Horsepower x 932** (for motors)

Remember, this worksheet lists average power requirements a particular manufacturer's device may use more or less than the listed wattage.

• Add a 10% correction factor to your totals to help overcome this uncertainty. If your customer plans to operate devices that use electric motors, list both the starting and running requirements of each.
• Starting requirements of some devices maybe significantly higher than their running requirements. This higher demand must be considered when estimating your power needs. Some small, universal motors — which do not draw a heavy starting load (drills, small saws, blenders, etc.) — require very little extra current for starting.

When listing items that use motors, take them in the order of highest-to-lowest starting requirements, as shown in the example below. Motor A, for instance, has a starting requirement of 2,600 watts, so it's listed first, followed by Motor B at 1,300 watts, and Motor C at 1,000 watts.

MOTOR/DEVICE	STARTINGWATTS	RUNNINGWATTS
Motor A	2,600	850
Motor B	1,300	600
Motor C	1,000	750

NO ELECTRIC MOTORS

If your list does not include any devices that use electric motors, simply add the power (running) requirements of all the items on your list to obtain the maximum power needed.

For example, if you intend to use only an electric skillet, a 100-watt light and a heating pad (as shown below), the maximum power requirement would be 1,655 watts. In this case, a generator like the EF2600, that can produce 2,300 watts rated output, is recommended.
