Frequently Asked Questions - EG241A MAKITA

What type of oil should I use for the Makita EG241A?

Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil of API service class SE or higher (SG, SH or SJ is recommended). SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 is recommended for general use. Refer to the manual for viscosity based on ambient temperature.

How do I start the generator?

Turn the engine switch to ON, open the fuel valve, set the choke lever to CLOSE if cold, then pull the recoil starter handle briskly. After starting, gradually return the choke lever to OPEN.

Can I use the generator indoors?

No, never operate the generator indoors or in poorly ventilated areas. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Always operate outdoors, away from windows, doors, and vents.

How often should I change the engine oil?

Change engine oil every 100 hours of operation. For a new engine, change after the first 20 hours. Use the recommended oil and check level before each use.

What is the maximum power I can draw from the generator?

The rated output is 2000 W (VA) and the maximum output is 2400 W (VA). Ensure total connected wattage does not exceed the rated output; starting surge may require up to 3 times running wattage for some appliances.

How do I charge a 12V battery using the DC output?

Stop the engine, connect the exclusive DC cable to the DC receptacle. Connect red clip to battery positive (+) and black clip to negative (-). Start the engine; the DC circuit breaker should be ON. Do not use AC and DC simultaneously.

What should I do if the engine stops automatically?

The oil sensor stops the engine if oil level is too low. Turn off the AC circuit breaker, check oil level, and refill to the upper level. If the engine still fails to start, check oil and restart.

How do I clean the spark arrester?

Allow the muffler to cool. Remove the muffler cover and the spark arrester screw. Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the screen. Replace if damaged. Reassemble in reverse order.

Can I connect the generator to my home electrical panel?

Never connect the generator directly to a commercial power line. Use a transfer switch for connection to a domestic circuit to avoid backfeeding and electric shock hazards.

5. WATTAGE INFORMATION

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 wallage to start as is needed to maintain use.

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

loads for mercury lamps require 2 to 3 times the indicated wallage 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 voltage 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 specific appliance for correct wattage.

To determine the total wallage required to run a particular electrical appliance or tool, multiply the voltage figure of the appliance/tool by the amperage (amps) figure 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.

NOTE : (\*)

Initial oil change should be performed after first twenty (20) hours of use. Thereafter change oil every 100 hours.

Before changing the oil, check for a suitable way to dispose of the old oil.

Do not pour it down sewage drains, onto garden soil or into open streams.

Your local zoning or environmental regulations will give you more detailed instructions on proper disposal.

8. "HOW-TO" MAINTENANCE

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.

EN

ENGINE OIL CHANGE (See Fig. 5-①)

●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 filler cap while the engine is warm.

① OIL DRAIN PLUG

(b) Reinstall the drain plug and fill the engine with oil until it reaches the upper level on the oil filler cap.

Use fresh and high quality lubricating oil to the specified level as directed on page 5. If contaminated or deteriorated oil is used or the quantity of the engine oil is not sufficient, the engine damage will result and its life will be greatly shortened.

SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER

(See Fig. 5-② 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.

① BASE

ELEMENT

AIR CLEANER COVER

BOLT

(a) Remove the bolt of air cleaner cover

(EG601A, EG601AE, EG671A, EG671AE) (See Fig.[5]-④)

Remove the air cleaner cover and cleaner element.

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. 15-6)

(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. 5-6)

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 loss replace it with a new one.

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 efficiency and the output voltage.

Check the brush every 500 hours to confirm 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.

Brush Maintenance Essentials

(Disassembly and Assembly) (See Fig. 5-8)

1 BRUSH
② SLIP RING
③ BRUSH HOLDER
FLANGE BOLTS
⑤ BRACKET COVER
⑥ FLANGE BOLTS

Disassembly

1. Remove the two □ ange bolts (M5 x 20), then remove the bracket cover.
2. Remove the two orange bolts (M5 x 16), then 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 flange bolts (M5 × 18). When doing so, cord 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 flange bolts (M5 × 20).

9. PERIODIC OPERATION AND INSPECTION

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 difficult to start and as the results improper engine operation and fault.

(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).

10. TRANSPORTING

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) is led in the tank.
Secure the tank cap thoroughly.
To avoid the risk of the gasoline a immability, 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 whe 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

11. PREPARATION FOR STORAGE

(See Fig. 6)

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 difficult.

Remove the carburetor real chamber and also drain the carburetor. (See Fig.8-1)

① DRAIN SCREW

- charge engine oil.

- check for loose bolts and screws, tighten them if necessary.

●lean generator thoroughly with oiled cloth.

Spray with preservative if available

NEVER USE WATER TO CLEAN GENERATOR!

■full starter handle until resistance is felt, leaving handle in that position.

Store generator in a well ventilated, low humidity area.

12. TROUBLESHOOTING

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:

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.

When No Electricity Is Generated at Receptacle:

Check to make sure AC circuit breaker is in the "ON" position.

After making sure that the total wafage 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.
