CLOSE OPEN

(Except RGV13100T)

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 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 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 9,000 watt generator can power a 3,200 to 7,000 watt electrical tool.)
- Loads such as submersible pumps, air conditioners 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 1,800 to 3,100 watt pump.)
If the power consumption of electrical appliances exceeds the operating range or if there is short circuit or other problems in the appliances, the AC breaker could trip “OFF” or the rotation of the generator could be abnormally reduced. In this case, stop the generator to see if the power consumption of the appliances is too large and if there is a problem in the appliances.
■The frequency (the number of the generators rotation) was adjusted before the time of shipment. Changing the frequency could result in the generators breakdown, so refrain from changing it.

To determine the total wattage 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.

ApplicationsApplicable Wattage(W)
RGV12100
60 Hz
Incandescent lamp, Heater 9,500
Fluorescent lamp, Electric tool 4,700
Pump, Compressor 2,400

NOTE:

The above wattage chart is general guide only. Refer to your specific appliance for correct wattage.

When you use two or more alternating current outlets at a time, be careful that the sum of the appliances' power consumption does not exceed the value specified in the above chart.

(All models)

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.

"HOW-TO" INSTALL THE WHEEL

(1) Checking of supplied accessories

(2)Tool preparation

■Hoist or square bar (100mm by 100mm, length : 700mm)

Plier

Spanner or socket wrench (12mm), 2 units

(3)Installation procedures

(a) Raise the generator by about 100 ~mm , with hoist or with square bar put under the bottom panel.
(b) Attach wheel mounting parts ①, ②, stopper ⑨, using clamp ⑩, ⑧ and wheel ③, to wheel shaft ④.

Then check that wheel ③ is rotated smoothly. If moving turns out to be too complicated, assemble them together using grease. (4 locations / 2 pieces)

(c) Bend the tip of ①according to the shape of wheel shaft ④ as possible.
(d) Attach the assembled shaft to the foundation plate of the engine, using ⑤, ⑦, and ⑧.
(e) Attach the other shaft to the foundation plate of the generating unit, using ⑥ and ⑦. (⑧ is not used.)

The tightening torque of bolts should be 20 to 25 Nm (2.0 to 2.5 kg-m).
