Service environment of the generator

• Applicable temperature : -5°C~ 40°C

• Applicable humidity : below 95%

• Applicable altitude : regions below 1500 m (It shall be used by reducing power in regions above 1,000 m).
  Standard atmospheric condition
  Ambient temperature Tr: 298k (25°C)

• Relative air humidity Фг: 30%

• Absolute atmospheric pressure Pr : 100kPa When actual environmental condition is inconsistent with the condition of output power of the generator set

• Every 5°C of increase in ambient temperature will reduce the power of generator by about 2%.

• Every 30% of increase in relative humidity of air will reduce the power of generator by about 1.5%.

• Every 1000 feet rising of ASL will reduce the power the generator by about 4.5%.

USE GENERATOR AT HIGH ALTITUDE

1. The density of air at high altitudes is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Output will be reduced approximately 4.5% for every 1000 feet of increased altitude from sea level.
2. At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio. Other high altitude issues can include hard starting, increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
3. The performance of gasoline engines can be improved by replacing the carburetor with a slightly smaller main injector or by adjusting the adjusting screw. lf you often use the generator at an altitude of more than 1000 feet, you can buy special high-altitude parts to replace for use. Otherwise, the load power should be reduced to use the generator.

Even with the suitable carburetor, a 1000 feet rise in altitude reduces petrol engine power by about 4.5%. Without the replacement of a suitable carburetor, this decline would be even greater.

NOTICE
If a carburetor suitable for high altitude use is fitted to a gasoline engine for low altitude use, too thin mixture will reduce the power output of the gasoline engine, cause overheat or even serious damage.

Connect to Household Power Supply

1. When the generator is connected to household power source as a backup power supply, the connection shall be carried out by a professional electrician or a person familiar with electricity.

GENERATOR CAPACITY

• Make sure before starting the generator. The total power of the load apparatus (the sum of resistive, capacitive and inductive load) shall not exceed the rated power of the generator.
• Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will power at the same time.
• Appliance and power tool manufacturers usually list rating information near the model or serial number.

NOTICE

1. Do not overload the generator’s capacity. Exceeding the generator’s wattage/amperage capacity can damage the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.
2. If more than one load or electrical equipment is connected to the generator set, remember that the one with the highest starting load is connected first and the one with the lowest starting current is connected last.

To determine power requirements

1. Select the items you will power at the same time.
2. Total the continuous (running) watts of these items. This is the amount of power the generator must produce to keep the items running.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need. Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start at the same time, total surge watts can be estimated by adding only the items) with the highest additional surge watts to the total rated watts from step.

1. Stop the inverter and let it cool for several minutes if running.
2. Move the inverter to a flat, level surface.
3. Loosen the clamp holding the spark arrester onto the muffler with a screw driver.
4. Slide the spark arrester band clamp off the spark arrester screen.
5. Pull the spark arrester screen off the muffler exhaust pipe.
6. Using a wire brush, remove any dirt and debris that may have collected on the spark arrester screen.
7. If the spark arrester screen shows signs of wear (rips, tears or large openings in the screen), replace the spark arrester screen.
8. Install the spark arrester components in the following order:
   • Place spark arrester screen over the muffler exhaust pipe. Push on the screen until it fully bottoms out.
   • Place the spark arrester band clamp over the screen and tighten with a screwdriver.

TRANSPORTING

• Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes before transporting.
• Replace all protective covers on the generator control panel.
• Only use the generator’s fixed handle(s) to lift the unit or attach any load restraints such as ropes or tie-down straps. Do not attempt to lift or secure the generator by holding onto any of its other components.
• Keep the unit level during transport to minimize the possibility of fuel leakage or, if possible, drain the fuel or run the engine until the fuel tank is empty before transport.

STORAGE

WARNING
In order to avoid burning or fire caused by contact with high-temperature parts of the generator, the generator must be cooled before being packaged and stored. Please ensure the storage area is clean and dry if long-term storage is needed.

1. Clean the fuel in the fuel tank. Clean the fuel filter screen, O-ring seal and settling cup before installing them. Unscrew the carburetor oil drain bolt, clean the fuel in the carburetor, and then install and tighten the carburetor oil drain bolt.
   WARNING
   Usually, the engine oil is combustible and explosive. Please drain the oil under well ventilated conditions after shutdown. Fireworks are strictly prohibited during oil discharge.
   NOTICE
   Gasoline stored for as little as 60 days can go bad, causing gum, varnish and corrosive buildup in fuel lines, fuel passages and the engine. This corrosive buildup restricts the flow of fuel, preventing an engine from starting after a prolonged storage period.

2. Unscrew the oil level gauge and the oil drain bolt on the crankcase, and drain the oil in the crankcase. Then tighten the oil drain bolt, fill new oil to the upper limit of oil, and then install the oil level gauge.

3. Remove the spark plug and pour a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the combustion chamber. Rotate the crankshaft several times to distribute the oil everywhere. Then install the spark plug.

4. Gently pull the starting handle until resistance is felt, so that the intake and exhaust valves are closed.

5. Place the generator set in a clean and dry area.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
