2.8.4 OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION

A solid-state voltage regulator (Figure 2.5) controls the generator’s AC output voltage. This regulator supplies an excitation current to the rotor. By regulat- ing the rotor’s excitation current, the strength of its magnetic field is regulated and, in turn, the voltage delivered to connected electrical loads is controlled. When the AC frequency is 60 Hertz, voltage is regu- lated at 115 volts.

2.8.6 25-HOUR CHECK-UP

After the 25-hour break-in period, contact an Authorized Service Dealer for the following mainte- nance. (The vehicle owner is responsible for any charges relating to normal unit maintenance.)

•Change the engine crankcase oil and oil filter.

•Check all fluid levels.

•Inspect the cooling and ventilation openings.

•Check the engine ignition system.

•Inspect the entire electrical system.

•Inspect the engine exhaust system.

The voltage regulator also incorporates a “voltage surge protection circuit.” This circuit prevents trou- blesome surges in the generator AC output voltage. Voltage surge is a common cause of damage to elec- tronic equipment.

2.8.5 25-HOUR BREAK-IN PERIOD

The first 25 hours of operation is the break-in period for the generator. Properly breaking in the genera- tor is essential to minimize fuel consumption and provide maximum engine performance. During this

25-hour break-in period, follow this procedure:

•Run the unit at varying electrical loads to help seat the engine piston rings properly.

•Check the engine oil level frequently. Add oil if needed. It is normal for the generator engine to consume more oil than is normal until the piston rings have properly seated.

•For the 75-hour operation following the break-in period, avoid light electrical loads. Load the gen- erator at 50 percent (or more) of its rated watt- age capacity. Repeated light loads during these 75 hours can cause improper seating of engine piston rings, resulting in blowby and high oil consump- tion.

•After operating the unit for 25 hours, complete the tasks recommended under Section 2.8.6.

2.8.7 OPERATION IN HIGH GRASS OR BRUSH

Never operate the generator while the vehicle is parked over high grass, weeds, brush, leaves or any other combustible substance. Such mate- rials can ignite and burn from the heat of the exhaust system. The generator exhaust system becomes extremely hot during operation and remains hot for a long time after it has shut down.

3.1CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL

LEVEL

For oil capacities and requirements, see “Engine Oil Requirements,” Section 1.6.2. Check the engine crankcase oil level at least every eight hours of opera- tion, or before it is used. To check the engine oil level, proceed as follows (see Figure 3.1):

1.Be sure the generator is as level as possible.

2.Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.

3.Install and tighten the dipstick cap; then, remove it again. The oil level should be at the dipstick “Full” mark.

4.If necessary, remove the oil fill cap on the rocker cover and slowly add oil until it reaches the dip- stick “Full” mark. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE “FULL” MARK.

Never operate the engine with the oil level below the “Add” mark on the dipstick. Doing this could damage the engine.

5.Install and tighten the oil fill cap and the dipstick before operating the engine.

004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, 004707-0 specifications

Guardian Technologies has established itself as a prominent leader in the realm of air purification with its innovative product line, specifically the models 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0. Each model combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features to ensure a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.

One of the standout features across these models is the use of True HEPA filtration. This technology efficiently captures 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. This is essential for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues, providing peace of mind through cleaner air.

In addition to the HEPA filters, Guardian Technologies incorporates activated carbon filters in these models. This feature helps reduce unwanted odors from pets, cooking, and household chemicals, making the air in your home more pleasant. The combination of HEPA and activated carbon makes these models effective for comprehensive air purification.

These models also integrate smart technology, offering user-friendly controls that simplify operation. Many units are equipped with filter change indicators, ensuring users are alerted when it’s time to replace the filters. This promotes optimal air quality and prolongs the efficiency of the machines.

The Guardian Technologies models have a compact and modern design, allowing them to fit seamlessly into any home or office decor. Their lightweight design facilitates easy mobility, enabling users to place them in various locations as needed.

Energy efficiency is another significant characteristic featured in these air purifiers. Many of the models are ENERGY STAR certified, which means they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This not only helps reduce electricity costs but also makes these purifiers an environmentally friendly choice.

Noise levels are kept to a minimum with these units, ensuring they operate quietly without disrupting daily activities such as work, sleep, or family time. This is particularly important in shared living spaces, where background noise can be a concern.

Overall, Guardian Technologies presents an impressive lineup of air purifiers through models 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0. Their combination of advanced filtration, smart technology, energy efficiency, and stylish design positions them as excellent options for anyone looking to improve their indoor air quality. Whether in a home or office, these models contribute significantly to a healthier living environment, making them a worthy investment for consumers seeking enhanced air purification solutions.
