5-2-7 RECEPTACLE and AC PLUG These are used for taking AC output power from the generator. A total of six kinds of receptacles, each varying in rated voltage and current from another, are used. Each model has at least one receptacle to deliver the rated generator output.
5-3 DESCRIPTION of GENERATOR OPERATION 5-3-1 PRIMARY EXCITING ACTION When the generator is started, the permanent magnet on the engine rotates to generator a volt- age in the exciting coil. This voltage is regulated by a diode in the A.V.R. to feed a current to the generator field coil.

5-3-3 FULL POWER SWITCH (Dual Voltage Type) The full power switch is provided for the dual voltage type to take out the full rated power from one receptacle in each voltage. Fig. 5-11 Fig. 5-12 Fig. 5-13 - 12 -...
Page 16
Two main coils are wound over stator core. Each main coil outputs half the rated power at the lower voltage (110V or 120V). These main coils are wound to be in the same phase. The full power switch reconnects these main coils in parallel or in series. Fig.
5-4 OIL SENSOR 5-4-1 DESCRIPTION * The oil sensor mainly functions to detect posi- tion of the surface of engine oil in the crankcase of engines for general use and to stop the en- gine automatically when the oil level goes down below the lower limit specified.
Page 18
[Judgement of oil level] When sufficient oil is in the crankcase, both of inner and outer electrodes are immersed in the oil through which current flows across the electrodes. The sensor judges that oil in the crankcase is sufficient. When oil level goes down and the inner electrode is exposed to the air due to consumption of oil, no current flow between the electrodes as air is considered to be electrically nonconductive.
Page 19
2 Detection circuit ..This detects quantity of oil, sufficient or not, according to difference of electric resistance across inner and outer electrodes. 3 Delay circuit ... This his prevents the sensor from making an unnecessary stop of the engine by momentary lowering of the oil level due to the engine being slanted or affected by vibration in spite of sufficient oil in the crankcase.
6. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. Use extreme caution near fuel. A constant danger of explosion or fire exists. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Do not smoke or use open flame near the fuel tank. Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. If spilt, wipe it and let dry before starting the engine. 2.
7. RANGE OF APPLICATIONS Generally, the power rating of an electrical appliance indicates the amount of work that can be done by it. The electric power required for operating an electrical appliance is not always equal to the output watt- age of the appliance.
Page 22
(5) Appliances without any indication as to power consumption Some appliances have no indication as to power consumption; but instead the work load (output) is indicated. In such a case, power consumption is to be worked out according to the numerical formula mentioned below.

NOTES : Wiring between generator and electrical appliances 1. Allowable current of cable Use a cable with an allowable current that is higher than the rated input current of the load (electrical appliance). If the input current is higher than the allowable current of the cable used, the cable will become excessively heated and deteriorate the insulation, possibly burning it out.

NOTE 1 : Because of the difference of measuring method between the analogue circuit tester and the digital circuit tester, polarity of tester needles should be reversed. NOTE 2 : ”Continuity” means forward direction characteristics of the diode, and different from short circuit condition (in which a pointer of the tester goes out of its normal scale), shows resistance to some extent.
