2.1 GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL

NOTE:

The following features are mounted on the generator control panel (Figure 2.1):

Figure 2.1 – Generator Control Panel

‹2.1.1 FUEL PRIMER

Before starting a cold engine (if it has not been started in more than two weeks), this switch must be pressed for approximately 10 to 15 seconds to bring fuel from the tank to the carburetor. This rocker type switch springs back into its original position when released. It is not necessary to press the primer switch for LP units.

‹2.1.2 START/STOP SWITCH

To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the START position. Release the switch when the engine starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts off. The switch center position is the RUN position.

‹2.1.3 FUSE

The fuse protects the engine’s DC control circuit against electrical overload. If the fuse element has melted open due to overloading, the engine cannot be cranked. If the fuse must be replaxed, use only an identical replacement.

‹2.1.4 MAIN BREAKER

The main breaker protects the generator’s AC output circuit against overload and provides a method of turning OFF the generator’s 120/240-volt AC output to the vehicle circuits. The generator has one 20-amp breaker and one 30-amp breaker.

If the generator has been reconnected for dual volt- age AC output (120/240 volts), install line break- ers having an amperage rating that is different than that stated in the "Generator AC Connection System" section. The replacement line breakers consist of two separate breakers (one 20 amp, and one 30 amp) with a connecting piece between the breaker handles (so that both breakers will oper- ate at the same time). If the unit is reconnected for dual voltage, it is no longer RVIA listed.

2.2OPTIONAL REMOTE

START/STOP PANEL

A remote mounted Start/Stop Panel (Figure 2.2) is available that allows starting and stopping the gen- erator engine conveniently from inside the vehicle. The remote panel includes a Start/Stop switch, hour- meter, generator run lamp and a wire harness.

2.3AUTOMATIC CHOKE (GASOLINE ONLY)

The engine is equipped with an automatic choke that consists of two main components: a choke solenoid and prechoke.

‹2.3.1 CHOKE SOLENOID

During engine cranking (Start/Stop switch at START),

asolid-state choke module signals the choke sole- noid to activate and cycle (choke on/choke off) until the engine starts. The choke solenoid thus opens and closes the carburetor choke valve only when the engine is cranking. When the engine starts, the choke stops cycling.

‹2.3.2 PRECHOKE

The choke system also has a temperature-sensitive metal strip that adjusts choke valve angle according to ambient temperatures (i.e., in cold ambient tem- peratures, choke valve closes more). Once the engine starts, an element heats the temperature-sensitive strip to a normal operating condition, opening the choke valve. This may take about three minutes in cooler weather.

02010-2, 04164-3 specifications

Guardian Technologies has made a significant impact in the air purification industry with its range of innovative products, particularly the models 02010-2 and 04164-3. These air purifiers are designed to enhance indoor air quality by leveraging advanced technologies, making them popular choices for both home and office environments.

The Guardian Technologies 02010-2 is an impressive model known for its portable design and effective purification capabilities. It features a 3-in-1 air cleaning system that includes a HEPA filter, a charcoal filter, and a UV-C light. The HEPA filter is essential for capturing allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, making it ideal for allergy sufferers. The charcoal filter helps eliminate odors, capturing smoke and volatile organic compounds, while the UV-C light helps reduce germs and bacteria, ensuring a cleaner atmosphere.

This model is compact, allowing it to fit seamlessly into small spaces, while still providing powerful purification performance. With a whisper-quiet operation, it can be used in bedrooms or workspaces without causing disruption. Additionally, it features an adjustable fan speed, enabling users to customize the airflow according to their preference, along with an energy-efficient design that helps reduce power consumption.

On the other hand, the Guardian Technologies 04164-3 introduces a more advanced air purification system with similar foundational features but enhances the user experience with added functionalities. This model typically incorporates a combination of a HEPA filter and a UV-C light as well, but it often boasts smart capabilities. These may include an air quality sensor that helps monitor particulate levels in real-time, automatically adjusting the purification level when needed. This intelligent feature ensures that the air quality remains at optimal levels without requiring constant manual adjustments.

Both models prioritize user convenience, sporting features like filter replacement indicators, ensuring timely maintenance of the purification system. They are designed for ease of use and portability, allowing consumers to move them effortlessly from room to room.

In summary, Guardian Technologies’ models 02010-2 and 04164-3 stand out in the air purifier market due to their advanced filtration systems, ease of use, and smart technologies. These air purifiers are key investments for anyone looking to improve their indoor air quality effectively.
