■■Electrolyte fluid can burn eyes and clothing.

Be extremely careful to avoid contact. If injured,

wash the affected area immediately with large

quantities of water and consult a doctor for

treatment.

■■When charging a large capacity battery or

totally discharged battery, excessive current

may force the DC breaker to turn off.

In such cases, use a battery charger to charge

a large battery with AC output.

■■

Battery defects may cause the DC breaker to turn off.

Check the battery before replacing the DC breaker.

3. STOPPING THE GENERATOR

(a) Turn off the power switch of the electric

equipment and unplug the cord from receptacle

of the generator.

(b) Allow the engine about 3 minutes to cool down

at no load before stopping.

(c)

Turn the engine switch to the position " "( STOP).

(See Fig. 44-yy)

4. OIL SENSOR (See Fig. 44-uu)

(a) The oil sensor detects the fall in oil level in the

crankcase and automatically stops the engine

when the oil level falls below a predetermined level.

(b) When engine has stopped automatically, switch

off generator's AC circuit breaker, and check the

oil level.

Refill engine oil to the upper level as instructed

on page 6 and restart the engine.

(c)

If the engine dose not start by usual starting

procedures, check the oil level

qOIL SENSOR

Do not remove OIL SENSOR PROBE when

refilling with oil.

Remove oil filler cap on the opposite side

of carburetor.

CAUTION

■■

Do not put foreign objects into the

plug receptacle.

CAUTION

■■

Check the amperage of the receptacles, and be sure not

to take a current exceeding the specified amperage.

■■Be sure that the total wattage of all appliances

dose not exceed the rated output of the generator.

GE-1700I(GB)GU216905.11.711:25AMページ9

■■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 5000 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 5000 watt generator would only be able to drive a 1000 to 1700 watt pump.

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.

6. WATTAGE INFORMATION

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.

NOTE

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

correct wattage.

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.

8. "HOW-TO" MAINTENANCE

(See Fig. 55)

1. ENGINE OIL CHANGE (See Fig.

55-qq)

qOIL DRAIN PLUG

■■Change engine oil every 50 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.

(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 6.

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.

Make sure the engine is stopped before

starting any maintenance, servicing or

repair.

qSPARK PLUG

wPLUG WRENCH

(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.

When replacing with new spark plug, use the

above-recommended one.

If not available by all means, make sure to

replace with equivalent one of resistance type.

4. SPARK ARRESTR

The spark arrester must be cleaned regularly to

keep it functioning as designed.

A clogged spark arrester :

■■Prevents the flow of exhaust gas

■■Reduces engine output

■■Increases fuel consumption

■■Makes starting difficult

If the engine has been running, the muffler and the

spark arrester will be very hot. Allow the muffler to

cool before cleaning the spark arrester.

How to remove the spark arrester

(a) Remove the flange bolts from the muffler cover

and remove the muffler cover.

(b) Remove the special screw from the spark

arrester and remove the spark arrester from the

muffler.
