LOCATION For best service from your stationary generator set there are several factors which should be taken into consideration when choosing the best location in which to permanently mount it: MOISTURE: All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture. Failure to do so will result in deterioration of the insulation and may result in short circuits and a possible electrocution hazard.
CONNECTIONS WIRING: Use sufficiently large insulated wire to connect the generator set to the load. The gauge of the wire will depend largely on the distance, the permissible voltage drop, and the size and type of load. If you are not sure of the gauge wire needed for your application, consult a competent electrician.
ENGINE INFORMATION This operator's manual only covers basic day-to-day engine operating instructions. However, the engine manufacturer's manual is included with your generator set and should be referred to for any additional information you may need. Become familiar with and follow all the engine manufacturer's operation, safety and maintenance guidelines.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED ON THE GENERATOR SET AFTER THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED AND THE GENERATOR SET HAS COOLED DOWN. THE BATTERY AND SPARK PLUG SHOULD ALSO BE DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO PERFORMING MAINTENANCE. GENERATOR END MAINTENANCE Generator end maintenance consists of cleaning the generator set, inspecting the wiring and fuel system, and making any necessary adjustments.
equipped with this feature). Make sure that the auto idler magnet does not touch the throttle lever of the engine when it is running and the auto idler switch is turned off. √ Adjust the engine speed to 3720 RPM's (62 Hz) with no load applied to the generator set. √...
STORAGE If you will not be using the generator set for a significant amount of time (3 months or longer) you should store the generator to prevent any problems that could arise from sitting idle. Please fully read the following guidelines prior to storing the unit. Remove all fuel from the engine's fuel tank.
USE OF ELECTRIC MOTORS Electric motors require much more current (amperes) to start them than to run them. Some motors, particularly split-phase motors are very difficult to start and requires 5 to 7 times as much current to start them as it does to run them. Repulsion-induction type motors are the easiest to start and normally require 2 to 3 times as much current to start them as to run them.
Pow'R Gard generator can obtain engine parts if necessary. However we do not stock engine parts nor are we a dealer in engine parts. SERVICE Service for your generator set can be obtained from the service department at Baldor Generators by calling (920) 236-4200. Please have the following information available prior to contacting the factory: 1.
OPERATION PRIOR TO STARTING THE UNIT: 1. Locate and set up the generator set in an open, dry, well ventilated and reasonably level location. OPERATING THIS UNIT IN AN AREA NOT SUITABLE FOR IT'S PROPER USE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE UNIT, SEVERE INJURY, OR DEATH. SEE "LOCATION INFORMATION"...

If the engine does not start after turning the engine over a few times, smell for fuel near the air cleaner. If there is a significant gasoline smell coming from the air cleaner, turn the choke lever off and attempt to start the engine with the choke off. D.
Listed below are the more simple solutions to some of the more common problems that are reported to the Service Department at Baldor Generators. These troubleshooting solutions are meant to be an aid for a person who has minimal electrical knowledge and experience. More in-depth, detailed...

E. Restart the unit and check for voltage output. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN USING THE ALTERNATE METHOD FOR FLASHING THE GENERATOR AS YOU WILL BE WORKING AROUND FAST, ROTATING COMPONENTS ALONG WITH LIVE WIRES AND BARE CONNECTIONS. LOW VOLTAGE OUTPUT Possible Problems: 1.
CONTROL PANEL For OHV30 A = NEMA 515R GFCI DUPLEX. This receptacle is a ground fault circuit interrupter duplex rated at 20 amps. This receptacle must be tested on a regular basis (monthly). B = STANDARD DUPLEX RECEPTACLE. This is your standard household duplex receptacle, it is rated for 120 VAC, 15 Amps.
CONTROL PANEL FOR OHV40, OHV50, OHV60 A = NEMA 515R GFCI DUPLEX. This ground fault circuit interrupter duplex is rated at 125VAC, 20 Amps. This receptacle must be tested on a regular basis (Monthly). B = AC Circuit Breakers. These Circuit Breakers provide overload protection for the generator set.
CONTROL PANEL FOR OHV85 A = THE AUTO IDLER FEATURE ON/OFF SWITCH. The Auto Idler Feature allows the engine on the generator set to slow down to a "slow speed position" when there is no load being applied to the unit. When a load is applied to the unit the auto idler circuitry allows the engine to speed up and operate at the engine governor's preset speed.
