Honda Power Equipment TPG-2900H-DX J.Oil Alert, L.Stopping The Engine, M. Wattage Information

Tsurumi’s Operation, Service, and Repair Manual

J.OIL ALERT

(1)The oil alert detects the fall in oil level in the crankcase and automatically stops the engine when the oil level falls down below the predetermined level.

(2)When the engine has stopped automatically, check the oil level. Refill engine oil to the upper level and restart the engine.

(3)If the engine does not start by usual starting procedures, check the oil level.

K.IDLE CONTROL (TPG-4300H-DX, TPG-6000H-DX, AND TPG-7000H-DXE)

The idle control feature automatically reduces engine speed when there is no load on the generator and automatically increases engine speed up to rated speed when load is applied.

The idle control feature provides fuel economy and low noise operation at no-load running.

(1)How To Use Idle Control

(a)Start the engine with IDLE switch set to OFF.

NOTE:

•Warm up the engine without a load for a few minutes.

(b)Set IDLE switch to the ON position.

(2)Checking Idle Function

(a)When the idle function does not operate normally, please check the following:

NOTE:

•Most induction loads, such as an electric motor, require wattage three to five times larger than their rating at starting. This starting wattage should not exceed the rated output of the generator.

(b)Is the generator overloaded? Make sure that the generator is not overloaded.

(c)Turn the IDLE switch off when the idle control does not work normally under the rated output.

L.STOPPING THE ENGINE

(1)Turn off the switch of load or disconnect the load.

(2)Turn the IDLE switch off.

(3)Push ENGINE to stop.

NOTE:

•Allow the engine about 3 minutes to cool down at no-load before stopping.

M. WATTAGE INFORMATION

When starting some appliances, a “surge” of energy occurs. Depending upon the nature of the elec- trical load, the amount of electrical power needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount need- ed to maintain its use. See Table 4 for appliances you may use with this generator.

Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles/Hz, amperage (amps) and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool. Check with your nearest dealer with questions regarding power surge of certain appliances or power tools.
