Frequently Asked Questions - GP2600 Wacker Neuson

What type of oil does the GP2600 generator use?

Use SAE 10W-30 oil (API SJ or higher). The oil capacity is approximately 0.6 L. Always check the oil level before starting.

How often should I change the oil?

Change the oil after the first 20 hours of operation, then every 100 hours or once a season, whichever comes first.

What fuel should I use?

Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using ethanol blends greater than 10% to prevent engine damage.

How long will the GP2600 run on a full tank?

At 50% load, the generator runs approximately 10 hours. At full load, runtime drops to about 5-6 hours. The tank holds 3.6 liters.

What is the maximum power output?

The maximum (surge) power is 2600 W. The rated (continuous) power is 2300 W. Do not exceed rated power for extended periods.

How do I start the generator?

Ensure oil and fuel are filled, turn the fuel valve on, set the choke to CLOSE (if cold), pull the starter cord slowly until resistance, then pull firmly. Once started, open the choke gradually.

What outlets are available?

The GP2600 comes with two 120V GFCI duplex outlets and one 240V twist-lock outlet. All outlets are protected by a circuit breaker.

How do I maintain the air filter?

Check the air filter every 25 hours of operation. Clean foam filters with soap and water, then oil lightly. Replace if damaged. Ensure dirt does not enter the carburetor.

Is the generator safe to use indoors?

Never use indoors or in enclosed spaces. Generators produce carbon monoxide, which is odorless and can cause death. Always operate outdoors away from windows and vents.

What should I do if the generator won’t start?

Check fuel level, oil level, and spark plug connection. Ensure the fuel valve is open and choke is set correctly. If still no start, clean or replace the spark plug and check for fuel flow.

DANGER

Carbon monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

▶ NEVER use a generator inside homes, buildings, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.
▶ ONLY use a generator outside, and far away from homes, buildings, windows, doors, and vents. Windows, doors, and vents can pull in generator exhaust.
▶ Point the engine exhaust away from homes, buildings, windows, doors, and vents. Also, point the engine exhaust away from combustible materials.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home or building. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home or building.
▶ If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.

GP 2600 Operation

4.2 Determining Power Requirements

This generator is designed to operate single-phase, 60 Hz appliances running at 120 VAC. Check the nameplate or label provided on tools and appliances to make sure their power requirements match the power output of the generator.

Some appliances and tools require a surge of current when starting. This means that the amount of power needed to initially start the equipment is larger than the power required to keep it running. The generator must be capable of supplying this “surge” current. Other types of appliances require more power than is actually stated on their nameplate.

The information in “Approximate Starting Power Requirements” is offered only as a general guideline to help you in determining power requirements for different types of equipment. Check with your nearest Wacker Neuson Dealer, or contact the manufacturer or dealer of the tool or appliance, with questions regarding its power requirements.

NOTICE: If a tool or appliance does not reach full speed within a few seconds when switched on, turn it off immediately to avoid damage.

Approximate Starting Power Requirements

• Incandescent lights and appliances such as irons and hot plates, which use a resistive-type heating element, require the same wattage to start and run as is stated on their nameplates.
  ■ Fluorescent and mercury lamps require 1.2–2 times their stated wattage to start.
  ■ Electrical motors and many types of electrical tools often require a large starting current. The amount of starting current depends on the type of motor and its use.
• Most electrical tools require 1.2–3 times their stated wattage for starting.
• Loads such as submersible pumps and air compressors require a very large force to start. They need as much as 3–5 times the wattage stated on the nameplate in order to start.

If the wattage is not given for a particular tool or appliance, it can be calculated by multiplying its voltage and amperage requirements:

Single Phase: VOLTS x AMPS = WATTS

• Do not operate the generator anywhere inside a home or building. This includes the garage (c), entryway, porch, or sunroom (d), living area or work space (e), or basement or crawl space (f). Operating the generator inside a home or building can be fatal even if fans, open doors, or open windows are used for ventilation.
• ONLY use a generator outside (a), and far away from homes, buildings, windows, doors, and vents. Windows, doors, and vents can pull in generator exhaust.
• Point the engine exhaust (b) away from homes, buildings, windows, doors, and vents. Also, point the engine exhaust away from combustible materials.
  ■ Position the generator on firm, level ground so that it will not slide or shift.

CO Detectors/Alarms

Install CO detectors/alarms in all areas that may be occupied by people or animals while the generator is operating. CO detectors/alarms provide an extra measure of protection against this poison that you cannot see or smell.

Install battery-operated CO detectors/alarms or plug-in CO detectors/alarms with battery backup, according to the manufacturer's instructions. CO detectors/alarms should be certified to the requirements of the latest safety standards (UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or CSA 6.19.01). Test the CO detector/alarm batteries regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Operation GP 2600

4.4 Generator Derating

All generators are subject to derating for altitude and temperature. Internal combustion engines, unless modified, run less efficiently at higher altitudes due to the reduction of air pressure. This translates into a lack of power and thus reduction in generator output. Temperature affects both engine and generator performance. As temperature increases, an engine will run less efficiently and more resistance will be found in electrical components. Therefore, as the temperature increases, the output of the generator decreases. Altitude also affects the cooling capacity of air—the higher the altitude the less dense the air is and thus the lower its ability to transfer heat.

For every increase in altitude of 500 m (1650 ft.) above 1000 m (3300 ft.), the output of the generator will be reduced by 3%. For every increase of 5° C ( 9° F) in ambient temperature above 40° C ( 104° F), the output of the generator will be reduced by 3%. Use the tables shown for altitude and temperature deration factors. It may be necessary to consider both altitude and ambient temperature deration factors to determine true generator output.

Ambient Temperature °C (°F)	Derate Factor
45 (113) 3 % 0.97
50 (122) 6 % 0.94
55 (131) 9 % 0.91
60 (140) 12 % 0.88

Altitude m (ft)	Derate Factor
1500 (4900) 3 % 0.97
2000 (6600) 6 % 0.94
2500 (8200) 9 % 0.91
3000 (9900) 12 % 0.88
3500 (11500) 15 % 0.85
4000 (13100) 18 % 0.82

4.5 Grounding the Generator

Location A ground connection (a) is located on the generator frame.

wc_gr010579

Function This ground connection is used for electrically grounding the generator when necessary to comply with the National Electrical Code and other federal, state, and local regulations. For grounding requirements in your area, consult with a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction over electrical compliance.

■ If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional regulations which must be observed.
- In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local utility companies.
■ There is a conductor between the generator (stator neutral winding) and the frame.

4.6 Operating Heavy Loads

Limit operations requiring the maximum rated output of 2600 Watts to 20–30 minutes. For continuous operation, do not exceed the continuous rated output of 2250 Watts.

NOTICE: DO NOT exceed the current limit specified on the control panel for any receptacle.

Operation GP 2600

4.7 Use of Extension Cords

When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a voltage loss occurs—the longer the cord, the greater the voltage loss. This results in less voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage loss.

Damaged extension cords can cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury or death. DO NOT use worn, bare, or frayed cords. Replace damaged cords immediately.

Use the chart below as a guide for selecting proper cable size.

Current Load in Watts Maximum Cable Length in Feet
(Amps) 120V 240V #10 #12 #14 #16

Emission Control Systems Information and Warranty

8 Emission Control Systems Information and Warranty

The Emission Control Warranty and associated information is valid only for the U.S.A., its territories, and Canada.

8.1 Emission Control System Background Information

Introduction

Wacker Neuson spark-ignited engines/equipment must conform with applicable Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions regulations. There are two types of emissions that fall under these regulations: 1) exhaust, and 2) evaporative. These regulations require that manufacturers warrant the emission control systems for defects in materials and workmanship.

Furthermore, EPA regulations require all manufacturers to furnish written instructions describing how to operate and maintain the engines/equipment including the emission control systems. This information is provided with all Wacker Neuson engines/equipment at the time of purchase.

Exhaust Emissions

The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is very important because, under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic.

Wacker Neuson utilizes lean carburetor settings and other systems to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons.

Evaporative Emissions

Evaporative emissions are fuel emissions and generally include emissions that result from permeation of fuel through the fuel-system materials or from ventilation of the fuel system.

Wacker Neuson utilizes low-permeation fuel lines and fuel tanks where applicable to reduce evaporative emissions.

Problems that may affect Emissions

If any of the following symptoms arise, have the engine/equipment inspected and repaired by a Wacker Neuson dealer/service center.

■ Hard starting or stalling after starting
■ Rough idling
■ Misfiring or backfiring under load
■ Afterburning (backfiring)
■ Presence of black exhaust smoke during operation
■ High fuel consumption

Emission Control Systems Information and Warranty

Tampering and Altering

Tampering with or altering the emission control system may increase emissions beyond the legal limit. If evidence of tampering is found, Wacker Neuson may deny a warranty claim. Among those acts that constitute tampering are:

■ Removing or altering of any part of the air intake, fuel, or exhaust systems.
- Altering or defeating the speed-adjusting mechanism causing the engine to operate outside its design parameters.
