1. The choice of the electric cable

The choice of the electric cable depends on the allowable current of the cable and the distance between the load and the generator. And the cable section should be big enough.

If the current in the cable is bigger than the allowable current, it will become over hot and the cable will be burnt. If the cable is long and thin, the input voltage of the electric appliance will be not enough, causing that the generator doesn't start.

In the following formula, you can calculate the value of the potential "e".

Gasolines containing alcohol

If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol(gasohol), be sure its octance rating is at least as high as that recommended by us. There are two types of

"gasohol": one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol. Do not use gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not sue gasoline containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use gasoline containing more than 5% methanol, even if it has cosolevents and corrosion inhibitors.

NOTE

Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuels that contain alcohol is not covered under the warranty. We cannot endorse the use of fuels containing methanol since evidence of their suitability is as yet incomplete.

Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if the fuel contains alcohol, if it does, confirm the type and percentage of alcohol used. If you notice any undersirable operating symptoms while using a gasoline that contains alcohol, switch to gasoline that you know does not contain alcohol.

3.3 Check the air cleaner

Check the air cleaner elements to be sure they are clean and in good condition.

Open the left side maintenance cover. Remove the air cleaner cover, remove the paper element from the air cleaner cover, and check the both elements, clean or replace the element(s) if necessary, see fig.5.

Choke knob

Fig.10

High altitude operation

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich

Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.

High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburetor and readjusting the pilot screws. If you always operate the generator at altitudes higher than 1,500 m (5,000 feet) above sea level, have your authorized dealer perform these carburetor modifications.

Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for each 305 m (1.000 feet) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on the horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.

CAUTION

Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburetor is jetted for may result in reduced performance, overheating, and serious engine damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.

-10-

Fig. 17

WARNING

If the generator has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow it to cool before proceeding.

CAUTION

The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to maintain its efficiency.

1.Remove the bac

k cover.

2.Remove the exhaust tail pipe and spark arrester.

3. Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester screen.
