MAGNETISM Magnetism can be used to produce electricity and electricity can be used to produce magnetism. Much about magnetism cannot be explained by our present knowledge. However, there are certain pat- terns of behavior that are known. Application of these behavior patterns has led to the development of gen- erators, motors and numerous other devices that uti- lize magnetism to produce and use electrical energy.

NOTE: AC output frequency at 3720 rpm will be about 62 Hertz. The “No-Load” is set slightly high to prevent excessive rpm, frequency and voltage droop under heavy electrical loading. Generator operation may be described briefly as fol- lows: 1. Some “residual” magnetism is normally present in the Rotor and is sufficient to induce approximately 7 to 12 volts AC Into the STATOR's AC power windings.

Oil vapor is condensed on the col- lector material and drains back into the crankcase, which minimizes the amount of oil vapor entering the breather. CHECK BREATHER: 1.

The “Flow Charts” in this section may be used in con- junction with the “Diagnostic Tests” of Section 7. Numbered tests in the Flow Charts correspond to identically numbered tests of Section 7.

GOVERNOR ADJUSTMENT 1. Loosen the GOVERNOR CLAMP BOLT. 2. Push Spring end of GOVERNOR LEVER clockwise to wide open throttle position of lever. a. Hold the GOVERNOR LEVER at wide open throttle and, with a pair of pliers, rotate the GOVERNOR SHAFT fully clockwise (CW).
Excitation Circuit Breaker (CB3). Connect one test lead to one end of Wire 2A and the other test lead to the other end of the same wire. The meter should read continuity. RESULTS: If continuity was NOT measured across each wire, repair or replace the wires as needed.
9. Connect the meter test leads across Stator lead 11P and frame ground. “Infinity” should be read. 10. Connect the meter test leads across Stator lead 33 and frame ground. The reading should be “Infinity”. 11. Connect the meter test leads across Stator leads Wire 11P and Wire 33.
RESULTS: 1. If breaker is “ON” and “Continuity” is measured, go to Test 3. 2. If breaker is “OFF”, reset to the “ON” position and check for AC output. 3. If breaker is “ON” and “Continuity” is not measured, replace the defective circuit breaker.
3. In Step 7, if Wire 0 reads “Continuity”, but resistor does not measure 1 ohm, replace the Battery Charge Resistor. 4. If all of the Steps in this test pass, perform “Insulation Resistance Test” on page 13. TEST 18 - TRY CRANKING THE ENGINE DISCUSSION: If the Fuel Primer Switch on the generator panel is actuated, but the Fuel Pump does not run (priming...
3. If the pump fails Step 5 or Step 6, replace the Fuel Pump. Note: If desired, a pressure gauge can be attached to the pumps outlet side. Pump outlet pressure should be 2.0 to 3.5 psi. 4. If the pump operates normally, go to Test 31. Figure 7-15.
2. If engine cranks in Step 3 when Wire 17 is grounded, but will not crank when the Switch is set to “START”, replace the Start- Stop Switch. 3. If the Start-Stop Switch (SW1) failed any part of Steps 5 or 6, replace the switch.

DISCUSSION (LPG MODELS): LP gas is stored in pressure tanks as a liquid. The gas systems used with these generators were designed only for vapor withdrawal type systems. Vapor withdrawal systems use the gas vapors that form above the liquid fuel in the tank. Do NOT attempt to use the generator with any liquid withdrawal type system.
• Engine starts hard, runs rough. A commercially available spark tester may be used to test the engine ignition system. One can also be pur- chased from Generac Power Systems (Part No. 0C5969). PROCEDURE: 1. Disconnect a high tension lead from a spark plug.

TEST 33 - CHECK SPARK PLUGS DISCUSSION: During Test 32, if spark jumped the tester gap, the ignition system must be functioning properly. However, if the engine misses the spark plug itself may be fouled. PROCEDURE: Remove spark plugs. Clean with a commercial sol- vent.
