6.5. CHECK THE GENERATOR SURROUND-
INGS:
WARNING:
Make sure you review each warning in order to
prevent fire hazards. Keep the surrounding area
clear of flammables or other hazardous materials.
Keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away
from all buildings and or other structures. Only
operate the generator in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Keep the exhaust pipe clear of all foreign objects.
Keep the generator away from open flames. Do
not smoke in close proximity to the generator.
Keep the generator on a flat and level surface.
Do not attempt to block the generator air vents with
any paper or other material/objects.
7. OPERATING PROCEDURES:
7.1. STARTING THE GENERATOR ENGINE:
7.1.1. Turn the engine "KEY" to the "ON/START"
position. (For manual start
Generators there will be a Switch and not a Key).
FIG.1
7.1.2. Open the fuel cock. FIG.2
7.1.3. Turn the choke lever to "CLOSED" position if
the generator engine is cold. Fig.3
7.1.4. For manual start machines pull the recoil
starter until resistance is felt. FIG.5
7.1.5. This is the "compression" point. Return the
handle to its original position, and then pull swiftly.
7.1.6. If the generator engine fails to start after
several attempts, repeat above the procedures
with the choke knob returned to the "OPEN" posi-
tion. FIG.4
7.1.7. Do not pull the rope of the recoil starter out
completely.
7.1.8. After starting the generator allow the starter
handle to return to its original position whilst still
holding on to the handle.
7.2. USING ELECTRIC POWER:
7.2.1. Insure that the battery terminals are con-
nected and the turn the key to the start position to
start the generator with the electric start.(Fig 8)
WARNING:
Make sure that the appliance is switched OFF
before connecting it to the generator.
Do not move the generator while it is running.
7.3. STOPPING THE GENERATOR:
7.3.1. Turn off the power switch of the electric
equipment and unplug the cord from the receptacle
of the generator.
7.3.2. Turn the key to the "OFF" position.
7.3.3. Close the fuel valve. Fig 7
8. WATTAGE INFORMATION:
8.1. Some appliances need a "surge" of energy
when starting. This is commonly known as a "LAG-
GING" Load.
8.2. This means that the amount of electrical
power needed to start the appliance may exceed
the amount needed to maintain its use.
8.3. Electrical appliances and tools normally come
with a label indicating voltage, cycles/Hz, amper-
age (amps) and electrical power needed to run the
appliance or tool.
8.4. Check with your nearest branch with questions
regarding power surges of certain appliances or
power tools.
8.5. Electrical loads such as incandescent lamps
and hot plates require the same wattage to start as
is needed to maintain their use. This is commonly
known as a "LEADING" Load
8.6. Loads such as fluorescent lamps with starters
require1.5 to 2 times the indicated wattage during
start-up.
8.7. Electrical motors require a large starting
current. Power requirements depend on the type
of motor and its use. Once enough "power" is at-
tained to start the motor, the appliance will require
only +-50% of the wattage in order to continue
running.
8.8. Most electrical tools require 1.5 to 3 times their
wattage for running under load during use. Loads
such as submersible pumps and air compressors
require a very large force to start. They need 3 to 5
times the normal running wattage in order to start.
