Page 8: Basic Location Information
LOCATION For best service from your portable generator set there are several factors which should be taken into consideration when choosing the best location in which to operate 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. -
Page 9: Basic Connection Information
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. -
Page 10: Basic Engine Information
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. -
Page 11: Generator End Maintenance
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. -
Page 12: Basic Engine Maintenance
ADJUSTMENTS: √ The engine should be checked for proper speed setting(s). √ prior to adjusting the engine speed, turn the Auto Idler OFF (If your generator set is equipped with this feature). Adjust the engine speed to 3720 RPM's (62 Hertz) with no load applied to the generator set. -
Page 13: Storage Information
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. -
Page 14: Electric Motor Loads
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. Capacitor Motors are a little easier to start and usually require 2 to 4 times as much current to start them as to run them. -
Page 15: Parts & Service Information
NOTE: Engine parts can usually be obtained from a local representative of your engine manufacturer via the information in the engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual. Baldor Generators can obtain engine parts if necessary. However we do not stock engine parts nor are we a dealer in engine parts. -
Page 16: Operation
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"... - Page 17 3. Pull lightly on the recoil grip until you feel significant resistance, then pull sharply. Do not allow the recoil rope to 'snap' back into the recoil housing. Allow the recoil to gently rewind into the recoil housing. See your engine manual for instructions specific to your unit.
