RESTRICTED USES

DO NOT removefrom the cradle assembly. Remov-

al of the generator from the cradle assembly may

causeexcessivevibration and damagetothe engine

generator set.

2. DO NOT install and operate these portable genera-

tors in small compartment. (i.e. generator compart-

ment of vehicles, motor homes, or travel trailers)

Thesecompartments will not allow enough free flow

fresh air to reachthe engine generator set for cool-

ingandwill allowthe unit tooverheat damagingboth

the engine and the generator. Small compartments

will also develop hot spots where there isvery little

air flow and may cause a fire.

NOT attempt to operate this unit at 50 cycles.

These units are designed and are governedto oper-

ateat 60 Cycles only. Special units are available for

50 cycle operation.

UNIT CAPABILITIES

1. Generator Connections

These generators are

equipped with a patented full power feature. This

feature is designed to give the owner full rated

generator output from a SINGLE 120 volt outlet or

a SINGLE 240 volt outlet without the necessity of

having to carefully balance this 120volt load. Con-

ventional generators require splitting the 120 volt

loads and balancing them on two separate power

leads inorder to fully utilize the rated output of the

conventional generator.

FullPowerwindings use extra heavywire sothat

itcan safely carry the entire loadon a single 120volt

circuit. This eliminates the needto split and balance

the 120 volt load to avoid damaging the armature.

The operator usingthis generatorhasthe entire out-

put availablefrom asingle 120volt circuit or a single

240 volt circuit or a combination of 1201240volts cir-

cuits as long as the total load does not exceed the

engine power.

Starting Electric Motors

Electric motors require

much more current (amps)to start them than to run

them. Some moJors,particularly low cost split-phase

motors are very-hardtostart and require5to 7times

as much current to start them as to run them. Ca-

pacitor motors are easierto start and usually require

2to 4times as muchcurrent to start them as to run

them. Repulsion Inductionmotorsare the easiest to

start and usually require 1% to 2% times as much

to start them as to run them.

Most fractional horsepowermotors take about the

same amount of current to run them whether they

are of Repulsion-Induction (RI),Capacitor (Cap), or

Split-Phase(SP) type. The chart below shows the ap-

proximate current required to start and run various

types of sizes of 120 volt 60 cycle electric motors

under average load conditions.

and no harm is done. Under these conditions the

motor may revolvea few times when it isfirst turned

on, and then stop.

On the other hand,suppose an electric motor that

requiresjust a little moreoutput than the generator

can produce is connectedto it. It will run but will not

reach a high enough speed for the centrifugal switch

to disconnect the starting winding. The generator

output voltage, instead of being 120, maydrop to 70

or 80 volts. RUNNING THE GENERATOR UNDER

THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN BURNING

OUT THE GENERATOR ARMATURE AS WELL AS

THE MOTOR WINDINGS.

Because the heavy surge of current required for

starting motors is required for only an instant, the

generator will not be damaged

it can bring the

motor up to speed in a few seconds of time. If dif-

ficulty is experienced in starting motors, turn all

other electrical loads off and if possible reduce the

load on the electric motor.

Motor Starting Capacity

listed below you will find

the motor starting capability of your engine genera-

tor set.

The figures givenabove are for average loadsuch

as a blower or fan. If the electric motor isconnected

to a hard starting load such as an air compressor,

itwill requiremore starting current. If it isconnected Trying to start a larger motor or a higher code (ie

ment will also vary with the brand or design of the motors.

motor.

For 240 volt motor, the "running" current is half WHERE IS EVERYTHING LOCATED

as much as shown for the 120 volt motors of the

same size. Some dual voltage 1201240 volt motors

are difficult to start on 240 volts when driven by en-

ginelgeneratorsand can be started more easily when

connectedtooperateon 120volts. This isparticularly

true of "capacitor start-induction run" motors.

Sometimesa 240 volt motor which cannot be started

on the 240 volt circuit of a 1201240volt generatorcan

be started on a 120 volt circuit and then quickly

switched to the 240 volt circuit after it is started.This

can be done in applications where the motor is man-

ually controlled and is started under "no load" con-

ditions.

A self-excited generator responds differently to

severe overloading than atransformer connected to

a power line. To illustrate, suppose that a 240 volt

H.P.

"capacitor start-Induction Run" motor iscon-

nectedto a small transformer that would not be able

tosupply enough power to bring the motor up to op-

erating speed. It would be very severely overloaded

and probably would burn out in a short time. The

motor might also be damaged. When this motor is

connected to a self-excited4000 watt generator, its

output voltage drops to practically zero. Thus, there

is virtually no load on the generator or the engine,

serious engine damage.

UNPACKING

When you unpack your new ENGINE

GENERATOR be sure to remove all the information

sheets and manualsfrom the carton. Also be sure that

any accessories (suchas battery rack) ordered with the

generators have also been received.

1. This power plant was in good order when shipped.

Inspect the power plant promptly after receiving it.

If damage is noted, notify the transportation company

immediately; request proper procedures for filing a

"concealed damage" claim. Title to the equipment

and responsibility for filing claim rests with you when

a generator is sent F.O.B. shipping point. Only you

the customer, can legally file a claim.

Before proceeding with the preparation of your new

engine generator set for operation, take a few min-

utes to insure that the unit you have received is the

correct model and review the specification pages in

this manual to insure that this unit meets your job

requirements.

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

UNIT PREPARATION

Before your engine generator

was shipped from our factory it was fully checked for

performance.The generator was load tested to its full

capacity, and the voltage and frequency were careful-

ly checked and adjusted.

Lubrication

Beforestarting theengine,fill thecrank-

case to the proper level with a good quality oil. The

recommended grade of oil and quantity of oil re-

quired is listed inboththe engine operators manual

and in the specifications section (page B1) of this

manual.

The importance of usingthecorrect oil, and keep-

ing the crankcase full cannot be overemphasized.

Engine failures resulting from inadequate or im-

proper lubricant are considered abuse and are not

covered by Energx or the engine manufacturer's

warranty.

2. Gasoline

fuel

When usi,nggasoline always use a

good grade of unleaded fuel. Leaded gasoline may

beuseif unleadedisnot available. Gasolinecontain-

ing alcohol, such as gasohol is not recommended.

Howeverif gasolinewith alcohol isused, it must not

contain more than 10 percent Ethanol and must be

removed from the engine during storage. DO NOT

use gasoline' containing methanol. Always insure

that the fuel is clean and free of all impurities.

FIRE DANGER

Gasoline and its fumes are VERY ex-

plosive when proper precautions are

not taken.

Never usegasoline that has been stored for an ex-

tended period of time as the fuel will lose it volatile

properties and you will be left with only the varnish

residue.This varnish likesubstance will clog the car-

buretor and will not burn properly.The useof a fuel

additive, such as STA-BIL,or anequivalent, will mini-

mizethe formation of fuel gumdeposits. If a unit has

beenout of operation for an extended periodof time

itsbest to drain old fuel from the engineand replace

with fresh fuel before attempting to start.

LPlNG

Fuel

The information in this section is of-

fered toassist you in providing the propervapor fuel

supply for your engine.This information isonly pro-

vided toadviseyou of the engine's requirementsand

the decisionsyou must make. In no case should this

informationbe interpreted to conflict with any local,

stateor nationalcode. If in doubt, alwaysfollow local

codes.

Fire Hazard. All fuel lines must be in-

stalled by qualified fuel supplier.

A. LOCATION

The engine-generator models covered in this

manual were designed for portable use. The

manufacturer does not recommend installing or

operatingthis generatorindoors.The unit should

be stored inadry location.Duringa poweroutage

movethe unit outdoors toa flat dry location such

as adriveway, concrete pad or sidewalk for use.

Recommend installing the optiorial dolly kit or

equivalent for ease of handling.

The fuel source' should be close as possible

totheoutdooroperating location.Thiswill reduce

the installation cost of fuel runs. Connect the fuel

supply line to the inlet of the fuel demand regu-

lator on the unit using a locally approved flexi-

blefuel line(seetablefor recommendedlinesize).

The pressuresuppliedtothedemand regulator

MUST BE FOUR TO SIX OUNCES or 7 to 11 IN-

CHESW.C. (watercolumn).The primary regulator

at the fuel supply must be capable of delivering

the proper volume of fuel at this pressure. (See

specification on age A1 for fuel requirements.)

Haveyour local fuel supplier install a protected

fuel connection at the outsideoperating location.

He should also install a lockable fuel shutoff

valve at the connection point.

Have your fuel supplier permanently install a

flexible fuel line to the demand regulator on the

engine generator set.

B. INSTALLINGTHE FUEL LINE

PERSONALDANGER. Units that are in-

tended to be run unattended MUST

have an electric fuel solenoid installed.

This solenoid MUST be wired to auto-

matically turn off the fuel anytime the

enginestops. Request instruction sheet

60714-009 from your dealer for addi-

tional information.

Unit location will determinethe size of fuel line

that is required to supply the engine with a con-

stant fuel pressure. Refer to the tables below for

fuel linesize, fuel consumption and recommended

tank size. For distances of 100 feet and over, a

two regulatorfuel systemconsisting of a primary

10-15#regulatorat the tank and a

ounce secon-

dary regulator installed close to the engine-gen-

erator set. When a two (2)stage regulator system

is used, a fuel line size of 318 inch is generally

adequate for distances up to 300 feet. The line

size from the table below applies to the distance

from the second regulator to the demand regu-

lator. A positive fuel shut-off device must be in-

stalled in the fuel line close to the engine

generatorset. This may be either a lockableman-

ual shut-off valve available from your local fuel

installer, or a 12volt DC fuel solenoid valve. This

optional 12volt DCvalve isavailablethroughyour

local Energx dealer as part number 42942-000.

PERSONAL DANGER. Do not use gal-

vanized pipe in fuel line runs. The gal-

vanized coating will become erroded

and flake off,causing possibleobstruc-

tion in the regulator or fuel valve. The

results could rangefrom an inoperative

engine to hazardous fuel leaks.

will starve for fuel under load. Any higherand the

unit will 'flood' when attempting to start.

TANK SIZING

Once above the minimum acceptable size, the

size of L.P. tank used will generally depend on

how longyou want the unit to runwithout refilling.

The tank sizes shown below are the smallest

recommended tank sizes based on the outside

temperature. Keep in mind the colder it gets the

slower L.P. will vaporize. This is the reason for

the largertanks at low temperature. Minimumsiz-

E. FLEXIBLE FUEL LINE CONNECTION

The fuel line used to connect the supply line,

previouslyinstalled,to the demand regulator must

be a locally approved flexible fuel line. Products

used will vary in different parts of the country

dependingon localcodes.Consult with your local

fuel supplier for proper compliance.

Remove the pipe from the demand regulator.

Battery InstallationandCare -Allelectric start engine

generatorsets are shipped with abattery rack kit for

customer installation. This kit consists of a battery

rack, batterytie down, battery cables and instruction

sheet for installation.After installing the battery rack,

file the instruction sheet in the back of this manual

for future reference.

If you intendto usethe power plant's electric start

system, you will need to purchase and install a bat-

tery to operate it. Unitsequipped with a recoilor rope

start will operate satisfactorily without a battery. A

twelve volt battery group

rated at

190

CCA or

larger is recommended for this electric start engine

generator set. Follow the battery manufacturers rec-

ommendationsfor servicing and charging prior to use.

Connectthe battery to the electric start systems us-

ing the cables provided.

start engines are NEGATIVEGROUND.

-1

Use extreme caution when connecting

the battery to connect the NEGATIVE

Foryour safety always connect the positive bat-

tery terminal tothe "bat

terminal first. Then con-

nectthe negativebatteryterminal to the "bat

ter-

minal. Make sure all connections are clean and

tight. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting,

disconnect the negative cable first. These engines

produce enough direct current to keep batteries

charged under normal operating conditions, but

they are not intended to be usedas battery charger.

PERSONAL DANGER. Lead acid bat-

teries produce explosive hydrogen gas

when charging. Keep sparks, flames,

and burning cigarettes away from the

battery. Ventilate the area when charg-

ingor using the battery inan enclosed

space. Lead acid batteries contain

sulfuric acid, which causes severe

burns. If acid contacts eyes, skin or

clothing, flush well with water. For con-

tact with eyes, get immediate medical

attention.

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

Generators, when installedfor standby purposes,

must be run periodically (at least once a month)for

a minimumof

minutesto keepthe batterycharged.

A trickle charger can also be used to keep the bat-

tery fully charged. The trickle charger should be a

taper charger (usually

amps max).With a taper style

charge as the battery reaches its maximum charge

capacity, the chargercurrent tapersto nearzero and

maintains the battery in a fully charged condition.

Manual type charges with fixed or constant charg-

ing ratesare not recommended, since the batterywill

be overcharged,permanently damaging the battery.

Optional Dolly Kit

An optional dolly kit is available

for this engine generator set. The dolly kit comeswith

instructions and parts list. After installing the dolly

kit, file the instructions and parts list in the back of

this manual for future reference.

STARTING AND STOPPING

The throttle control on

these generators is preset and locked to operate at

3600

RPM (nominal)with no loadspeed set at

3690

RPM. Only

a trained servicetechnician should be allowed to adjust

this speed setting. See "Operating Speed" section for

additional information. Vapor fuel may be hard to start

manually. Recommend using electric start.

Manualstarting

Refer to the engine manual for addi-

tional starting, operating, and stopping instructions.

A. Turn on the fuel supply.

B. Move the choke to the full on position. A warm

engine will require lesschokingthan acold engine.

C. Grasp starter grip and pull slowly until starter

engages, then pull cord rapidly to overcome com-

pression, prevent kickback and start the engine.

Repeat if necessary.

D. When the engine starts, open the chokegradually.

The engine should promptly come up to operating

speed.

2.Electric Starting

If engine is cold and stiff or if bat-

tery is not fully charged,starting can be made easier

by slowly handcranking the engine throughthe com-

pressionstroke before pushingthe starter button.This

permits the starter to gain momentum before the

heavy loadof the compressionstroke occurs, minimiz-

ing drain on the battery and ensuring starting under

such adverse conditions. Keep the battery fully

charged, especially during cold weather operation

A. Turn on the fuel supply.

.Movethe choketo the full on position. A warm en-

gine will require less choking than a cold engine.

Normallychoking is not requiredwith LPlNG vapor

fuel.

C.Depressthe starter switch. The best starter life is

provided by using short starting cycles of several

seconds. Do not operate the starter more than

seconds each minute.

D.When the engine starts, open the choke gradually.

E.The engine should promptly come up to operating

speed.

Starting Hints

A. Cold weather

Be sure to usethe proper oil for the temperature

expected.

.A warm battery has much more starting capaci-

ty than a cold battery.

BASIC OPERATION

(continued)

3. Use fresh winter grade fuel. Winter grade

gasoline has higher volatility to improve

starting. Do not use gasoline left over from

summer.

A slightly richer fuel mixturewill usually im-

prove cold starting.

B. Hot weather

1. Besureto usethe proper oil for the temper-

ature expected.

2. Use only summer blended gasoline. Using

gasoline left over from winter may cause the

unit to vapor lock, because of the higher

volatility of the winter fuel.

3. Do not over-choke the unit.

Stopping and Storage

A. For gasoline units depress the stop switch.

B. Close the fuel shui-off valve. Always shut the

fuel off whenever the engine isstopped to pre-

vent fuel leakage from carburetor.

Beforeextended storage (over30 days) certain

precautions must be taken to ensure the fuel

doesn't deteriorate and clog the fuel system.

Note: The use of a fuel additive, such as STA-

BIL, or an equivalent, will minimize the forma-

tion of fuel gum deposits during storage. Such

an additive may be added togasoline inthe fuel

tank of the engine, or to gasoline in a storage

container.

Remove the remaining fuel from the fuel

tank.

2.Start the engine and allow it to run until all

the fuel in the carburetor and the fuel lines

has been used up and the engine stops.

3.While the engine is warm drain oil and refill

with fresh oil.

Remove the spark plug, pour approximately

'/2

ounce(15cc)of engineoil intothe cylinder

and crank slowly to distribute oil. Replace

spark plug.

5.Clean dirt and chaff from cylinder, cylinder

head fins, blower housing, rotating screen

and muffler areas.

.Store in a clean and dry area.

Changing

Fuel

Types

These engine generator sets are designed to run

on three different fuels; gasoline, natural gas or LP

vapor. They may be easily changed from one fuel

to another.

A. FROM GASOLINE TO LPING

.Withthe engine runningturn off the gasoline

fuel valve.

2.Run the engine till it runs out of fud.

3.Remove the pipe plug from the demand

regulator.

Install locally approved flexible fuel line.

5.Connect the LPING vapor fuel line.

6.Turn on the vapor fuel valve.

.Start the engine.

Apply the load to the generator.

Adjust the fuel mixture valve to smooth the

engine out.

Note:Operating on LPINGvapor fuel for an extended

period of time without liquid fuel in the carburetor

may damage the carburetor float, and needle and

seat. If you plan to convert back to gasoline, we

recommend the float and needle assembly be re-

moved from the carburetor. (Consult a local engine

supplier for assistance.

B. From LPING to Gasoline

With the engine running turn off the LPING

fuel supply.

2. Run the engine till it runs out of fuel.

3. Remove the flexible fuel line from the de-

mand regulator.

Reinstall the pipe plug inthe regulator. (use

thread sealant sparingly)

Check to be sure the gasoline fuel valve is

off.

Fill the gasoline fuel valve.

Turn on the gasoline fuel valve.

Start the engine.

Adjust the loadjet on the carburetor as re-

quired to smooth the engine out.

OPERATING SPEED

The engine-generator must be

run at the correct speed in order to produce the pro-

per electrical voltage and frequency.

The outputvoltage should be checked

to insure the generator is working

properly prior toconnecting a load to

the generator. Failure to do so could

result in damage to equipment

plugged into the unit and possible in-

jury to the individual.

All engines have a tendency to slow down when a

load is applied. The governor on the engine is

designed to holdthe speed nearly constant. When

the electrical loadconnected to the generator isin-

creased, the engine ismore heavily loaded, and as

a result the speed drops slightly. This slight

decrease in speed, together with the voltage drop

within the generator itself, results inaslightly lower

voltage when the generator is loaded to its full

capacity than when running no load. The slight

variation inspeed also affectsthe frequency of the

output current. This frequency variation has noap-

preciable effect in the operation of motors, lights

and most appliances. However, electronic equip-

ment and clocks will be affected if correct RPM is

not maintained. (See load vs. Output chart.)

Although individual units and models may vary

slightly, the normal voltage and frequency of the

engine-generators described in this book are ap-

proximately as follows, under varying loads:
