generator base. Use a deflector (piece of cardboard or paper) to direct the oil down the hole.
GENERATOR CARE
The generator is a two pole, 3600 RPM, 60 Hz, brushless, revolving field and synchronous type with one sealed radial roller bearing. The generator rotor is directly connected to the engine crank shaft, and the stator is rigidly coupled to the engine casting via the generator adapter casting.
Exercising The Generator - The generator should be operated every three to four weeks. Warm the unit up by starting the engine and letting it run for 10 to 15 minutes. This will dry out any moisture that has accumulated in the windings. If left, this moisture can cause corrosion in the
winding. Frequent operation of the engine/generator will also ensure that the set is operating properly should it be needed in an emergency.
Generator Maintenance - The generator head is brushless and maintenance free. Any major generator service including the installation or replacement of parts should be performed only by a qualified electrical service technician. USE ONLY FACTORY APPROVED REPAIR PARTS. Obtain factory parts from Customer Service at
A. Bearing - The bearing used in the generators is a heavy duty sealed roller bearing, requires no maintenance or lubrication.
B. Receptacles - Quality receptacles have been utilized. If a receptacle should become cracked or otherwise damaged, replace it. Using cracked or damaged receptacles can be both dangerous to the operator and destructive to the equipment.
ENGINE FUEL LINE BLEEDING
If the engine is having difficulty in starting and the fuel and oil levels are acceptable, the problem can usually be traced to air bubbles trapped in the fuel line.
To bleed air from the fuel line:
1:Allow engine to cool down.
2:Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
3:Loosen the hose clamp on the fuel line.
4:Pull the fuel line off of the fuel injector.
5:Turn the fuel valve to the ON position
6:Allow fuel to drip from the fuel line into a small container.
7. Reattach the fuel line to the fuel injector.
WARNING, Stand-by Operation
If your generator is to be used as a standby electric power source in case of utility failure, it must be installed by a registered and licensed electrician and in compliance with all applicable state and local electrical codes. Also, local Fire Departments must be consulted concerning proper and safe handling procedures for gasoline. NEVER connect any generator to any existing electrical system without an isolating, UL approved transfer switch, installed by a licensed electrician.
