[. . . ] EG series EG301A EG381A, EG381AE EG511A, EG511AE EG711A, EG711AE EG781A, EG781AE 3ZZ9990516 (California Proposition 65) WARNING : The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. (California only) AIR INDEX To show compliance with California emission regulations, a hangtag has been provided displaying the Air Index level and durability period of this engine. The Air Index level defines how clean an engine's exhaust is over a period of time. A bar graph scaled from "0" (most clean) to "10" (least clean) is used to show an engine's Air Index level. The period of time (in hours) that the Air Index level is measured is known as the durability period. [. . . ] Refer to TABLE 2. 120V ENGLISH 120V 240V CAUTION Change the FULL POWER SWITCH after turning the AC circuit breaker to "OFF". Switch position 120V 120/240V Lower Voltage Receptacle Activated full rated output Activated half of rated output TABLE 2 Higher Voltage Receptacle N. A Activated full rated output (1) CHECKING THE OPERATION Overloaded ?NOTE : Most induction loads such as electric motors require three to five times more wattage than their ratings during starting. NOTE : Allow the engine about 3 minutes to cool down at no-load before stopping. 17 (2) DC APPLICATION (Only for charging 12 volt battery) DC receptacle (Only for charging 12 volt battery) BLACK CABLE RED CABLE - + For charging 12 voltage battery, 12V-8. 3A (100W) of maximum AC power can be taken out from the DC receptacle by means of the exclusive DC cable. DC receptacle The exclusive DC cable is come with your generator set (included in the package). DC Circuit Breaker DC circuit breaker is turned off to shut down the DC power, when the DC is over the usage range or the battery is defective. Check the generator and/or battery for overloading or defect, and turn on the DC circuit breaker after no problem and defect are found out. Connection of exclusive DC cable : Connect positive (red) clip of DC cable to positive (+) terminal on battery. Connect negative (black) clip of DC cable to negative (-) terminal on battery. 18 1) Stop engine. 4) Connect positive (red) clip of DC cable to positive (+) terminal on battery, and then connect negative (black) clip of DC cable to negative (-) terminal on battery. 6) Check the electrolyte fluid level, and refill the distilled water as necessary. 10) Battery charging will be started. CAUTION Do not use both AC and DC output at the same time. Install correct positive (red) or negative (black) cable to the correct polarity on the battery. An explosive hydrogen gas is discharged through vent holes in the battery during the charging process. Do not allow spark or open flame around the generator or battery during the charging process. Electrolyte fluid contains sulphuric acid, and so the fluid can burn eyes and clothing. If injured, wash the affected area immediately with large quantities of water and consult a doctor for treatment. Charging time is varied according to the kind of battery and discharged level of battery. Measure the specific gravity of electrolyte fluid by means of hydrometer every one hour during battery charging. Battery charging is completed when the specific gravity is in the range of 1. 26 to 1. 28. 19 ENGLISH Battery Charging Procedures : STOPPING THE GENERATOR (a) Turn off the power switch of the electric equipment and unplug the cord from receptacle of the generator. OFF ON (b) Turn the AC circuit breaker to the "OFF" position. (c) Allow the engine about 3 minutes to cool down at no-load before stopping. (d) Recoil starter model Turn the engine switch to the position "OFF". ( e) Close the fuel valve. OFF ON OFF STOP STOP RUN RUN ST AR T START OIL SENSOR (a) The oil sensor detects the fall in oil level in the crankcase and automatically stops the engine when the oil level falls below a predetermined level. (b) When engine has stopped automatically, switch off generator's AC circuit breaker, and check the oil level. Refill engine oil to the upper level as instructed on page 7 and restart the engine. [. . . ] (c) Tightly fasten the cup to main body, making sure to avoid fuel leak. 27 ENGLISH CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK PLUG CHECKING CARBON BRUSH Brush Maintenance Essentials (Effective Length) The brush is the area which touches the slip ring, and its surface must be kept smooth. If it is not smooth then carbon and other substances will adhere between the brush and slip ring. This must be buffed with sandpaper or the like because it is hazardous. The usable length of the brush is 5~11mm, so if the brush is 5mm long or less replace it with a new one. This is done because if the length of the brush gets any shorter, its contact pressure with the slip ring will decrease, resulting in a drop in generator efficiency and the output voltage. [. . . ]
