(b) When engine has stopped automatically, switch off generator’s AC circuit breaker, and check the oil level. Re ll engine oil to the upper level as instructed on page 5 and restart the engine. (c) If the engine does not start by usual starting procedures, check the oil level.11

Some appliances need a “surge” of energy when starting. This means that the amount of electrical power needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to maintain its use. 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 or service center with questions regarding power surge of certain appliances or power tools.

Electrical loads such as incandescent lamps and hot plates require the same wattage to start as is needed to maintain use.

Loads such as uorescent lamps require 1.2 to 2 times the indicated wattage during start-up.

Loads for mercury lamps require 2 to 3 times the indicated wattage during start-up.

Electrical motors require a large starting current. Power requirements depend on the type of motor and its use. Once enough “surge” is attained to start the motor, the appliance will require only 50% to 30% of the wattage to continue running.

Most electrical tools require 1.2 to 3 times their wattage for running under load during use. For example, a 5,000 watt generator can power a 1800 to 4000 watt electrical tool.

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. For example, a 5,000 watt generator would only be able to drive a 1,000 to 1,700 watt pump. NOTE The following wattage chart is general guide only. Refer to your speci c appliance for correct wattage. To determine the total wattage required to run a particular electrical appliance or tool, multiply the voltage gure of the appliance/tool by the amperage (amps) gure of same. The voltage and amperage (amps) information can be found on a name plate which is normally attached to electrical appliances and tools.

VOLTAGE DROP IN ELECTRIC EXTENSION CORDS

When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a certain amount of voltage drop or loss occurs in the extension cord which reduces the effective voltage available for the appliance or tool. The chart below has been prepared to illustrate the approximate voltage loss when an extension cord of 300 feet (approx. 100 meters) is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator. Nominal cross section A.W.G. Allowable current No.of strands / strands dia. Resistance Current Amp.

In a dry or wooded area, it is recommendable to use the product with a spark arrester. Some areas require the use of a spark arrester. Please check your local laws and regulations before operating your product.The spark arrester must be cleaned regularly to keep it functioning as designed. A clogged spark arrester :Prevents the ow of exhaust gas Reduces engine output Increases fuel consumptionMakes starting dif cultIf the engine has been running, the muf er and the spark arrester will be very hot. Allow the muf er to cool before cleaning the spark arrester. How to remove the spark arrester 1. Remove the ange bolts from the muf er cover and remove the muf er cover.2. Remove the special screw from the spark arrester and remove the spark arrester from the muf er. Clean the spark arrester screen Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester screen.Be careful to avoid damaging the screen.The spark arrester must be free of breaks and holes.

CAUTION Make sure the engine is stopped before starting any maintenance, servicing or repair. NOTE It is recommended to use ear protection when performing operation, maintenance and repair of the generator set. ENGINE OIL CHANGE (See Fig. 󱯖-①)

Change engine oil every 100 hours.(For new engine, change oil after 20 hours.)(a) Drain oil by removing the drain plug and the oil ller cap while the engine is warm.❶ OIL DRAIN PLUG(b) Reinstall the drain plug and ll the engine with oil until it reaches the upper level on the oil ller cap. Use fresh and high quality lubricating oil to the speci ed level as directed on page 5. If contaminated or deteriorated oil is used or the quantity of the engine oil is not suf cient, the engine damage will result and its life will be greatly shortened.

SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER

(See Fig. 󱯖-② thru ④) Maintaining an air cleaner in proper condition is very important. Dirt induced through improperly installed, improperly serviced or inadequate elements damages and wears out engines. Keep the element always clean.❶ BASE ❷ ELEMENT❸ AIR CLEANER COVER❹ BOLT(a) Remove the bolt of air cleaner cover. (EG601A, EG601AE, EG671A, EG671AE) (See Fig.󱯖-④)Remove the air cleaner cover and cleaner element.(b) Urethane form : Wash urethane form element in kerosene or diesel fuel. Then saturate the element in a mixture of 3 parts kerosene or diesel fuel and 1 part engine oil.Squeeze the element to remove the mixture and install it in the air cleaner. NOTE Instead of washing oil (kerosene), it is possible to wash the urethane foam element in a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Then rinse the element thoroughly in clean water. Allow the element to dry thoroughly. Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out excess oil.

CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK PLUG

(See Fig. 󱯖-⑤) (a) If the plug is contaminated with carbon, remove it using a plug cleaner or wire brush.(b) Adjust the electrode gap to 0.6 to 0.7 mm.Spark plug : BR-6HS (NGK)

CLEANING FUEL STRAINER

(See Fig. 󱯖-⑥) Dirt and water in the fuel are removed by the fuel strainer.(a) Remove the strainer cup and throw away water and dirt.(b) Clean the screen and strainer cup with gasoline.(c) Tightly fasten the cup to main body, making sure to avoid fuel leak.

CHECKING CARBON BRUSH

Brush Maintenance Essentials (Effective Length) The brush is the area which touches the slip ring, and its surface must be kept smooth.If it is not smooth then carbon and other substances will adhere between the brush and slip ring.This must be buffed with sandpaper or the like because it is hazardous.The usable length of the brush is 5~11mm, so if the brush is 5mm long or less replace it with a new one. (See Fig.󱯖-⑦)❶ LENGTH WHEN NEW❷ EFFECTIVE BRUSH LENGTH15

remove the brush. Assembly

1. While pressing the brush against the slip ring,

secure it (1.5~2N•m) by tightening it with the two ange bolts (M5 × 16). When doing so, con rm that the brush is in the proper position relative to the slip ring.

2. Secure the bracket cover (3~4N•m) by tightening it

with the two ange bolts (M5 × 20). When furnishing the generator as emergency electric power source, periodic operation and inspection are needed. Fuel (gasoline) and engine oil will be deteriorated with time, and this causes that the engine is dif cult to start and as the results improper engine operation and fault. CAUTION Since the fuel (gasoline) will be deteriorated with time, replace fuel (gasoline) with fresh one periodically; once every three (3) months is recommended. When transporting the generator, make sure that the fuel (gasoline) should be drained from the tank. WARNING

To prevent fuel spillage due to the vibration and impact, never transport the generator with the fuel (gasoline) lled in the tank.

Secure the tank cap thoroughly.

To avoid the risk of the gasoline ammability, never leave the generator in an area exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures for a long time.

Keep the fuel (gasoline) in the exclusive gasoline storage tank made by steel when transporting. (a) Turn the engine switch to the “STOP” position. (b) Drain the fuel from the tank. (c) Secure the tank cap. CAUTION

Do not place any heavy objects on the generator.

Select and place the generator in the proper position of the transport vehicle so that the generator not be moved or fallen down. Fix the generator with rope as necessary. This is done because if the length of the brush gets any shorter, its contact pressure with the slip ring will decrease, resulting in a drop in generator ef ciency and the output voltage. Check the brush every 500 hours to con rm its length. In addition, check the brush length if the generator malfunctions, such as when it is not generating power or its voltage is low. (a) Check the fuel (gasoline), engine oil and air cleaner. (b) Start engine. (c) With appliance such as lightings activated, run the engine for over ten minutes. (d) Check for the following items;

Proper engine running.

Adequate output and the indicator lamp turned on properly.

The engine switch normally operated.

No leakage of engine oil and fuel (gasoline).16

The following procedures should be followed prior to storage of your generator for periods of 6 months or longer. Drain fuel from fuel tank carefully by disconnecting the fuel line. Gasoline left in the fuel tank will eventually deteriorate making engine-starting dif cult.

Remove the carburetor oat chamber and also drain the carburetor. (See Fig.󱯘-①) ❶ DRAIN SCREW Change engine oil. Check for loose bolts and screws, tighten them if necessary. Clean generator thoroughly with oiled cloth. Spray with preservative if available. NEVER USE WATER TO CLEAN GENERATOR ! Pull starter handle until resistance is felt, leaving handle in that position. Store generator in a well ventilated, low humidity area.When generator engine fails to start after several attempts, or if no electricity is available at the output socket, check the following chart. If your generator still fails to start or generate electricity, contact your nearest Makita factory or authorized service center for further information or corrective procedures. When Engine Fails to Start: When No Electricity Is Generated at Receptacle: (See Fig. 󱯘) Check if choke lever is in its proper position. Set the choke lever to “CLOSE” position.Check if fuel valve is open.If closed, open fuel valve.Check fuel level.If empty, refill fuel tank making sure not to overfill.Check if engine switch is in OFF. Turn engine switch to ON.Check to make sure generator is not connected to an appliance.If connected, turn off the power switch on the connected appliance and unplug.Check spark plug for loose spark plug cap.If loose, push spark plug cap back into place.Check spark plug for contamination. Remove spark plug and clean electrode.Check to make sure AC circuit breaker is in the “ON” position.After making sure that the total wattage of the electrical appliance is within permissible limits and there are no defects in the appliance, turn the AC circuit breaker to the “ON” position. If breakers continue to actuate, consult your nearest servicing dealer.Check AC receptacle and DC terminals for loose connection.Secure connection if necessary.Check to see if engine starting was attempted with appliances already connected to generator.Turn off switch on the appliance, and disconnect cable from receptacle. Reconnect after generator has been started properly.Low power. Carbon brushes are excessively worn17
