GENERATOR MODEL : GI Z O O R INSTRUCTION MANUAL I ISSUE EMD-GU0815 I I 3229020046 I
FOREWORD Thank you for purchasing this portable generator. This manual contains information and operating procedures necessary for the effective, economical and safe operation of the generator. For the proper operating procedures, read this manual thoroughly before operating the generator. For further details or questions, consult your nearest dealer.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Fire prevention 0 When refueling : - Stop the engine. - Extreme care must be taken to prevent fire hazards. Avoid smoking and the use of matches or open flame. - Be sure to fill fuel tank up to the specified level. Do not overfill. - Spilled fuel must be wiped off thoroughly. After spilled fuel has dried, start the engine. 8 (' v- Location of generator : - The generator should be placed at least 1 meter (3 ft) away from buildings or other facilities.
Exhaust gas precautions -Exhaust gas contains toxic gases. Extreme care must be taken about people and domestic animals in the surrounding area. - Never operate the generator indoors. - Never oprate in an enclosed area not adequately ventilated such as in a warehouse, tunnel, well, hold, reservoir, etc. - The exhaust pipe should be pointed toward a well-ventilated open area. Necessary inspections and checks 0 Before operation (Refer to pages 7 and 8.): - Check oil level and refill if necessary.

3. CONTROLS AND INDICATORS 2”: OP CHOKE 1 To start the engine, turn the knob to this position. (Choke valve is closed.) RUN Keep the knob in this position after the engine starts. (The engine can be started with the knob at this position when the engine is warm.) 1 STOP To stop the engine, return the knob to this position. Fuel Cock 0 Controls the supply of fuel. CLOSE : Engine stops. OPEN : Engine runs.
AC circuit breaker DC circuit breaker 0 Both AC and DC circuit breakers shut off electric current when the current exceeds its limit or a malfunction occurs in the connected appliance. Check for excessive current consumption or defects in the appliance. After making sure everything is in order, push the button to the "ON" position. m i c i r c u i t breaker [ 7 I Frequency adjusting screw 0 Frequency can be finely adjusted by turning the frequency adjusting screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
4. BEFORE OPERATION (NECESSARY INSPECTIONS / CHECKS) Checking engine oil level 0 Remove oil gauge and check oil level : - If level is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck. -Change oil if badly contaminated. (See page 15 for procedure.) Use class SC (API classification) oil or a higher grade of oil. 3 SAE 1OW-30 or 1OW-40 is recommended for general, all-temperature use. If single viscosity oil is used, select the appropriate viscosity for the average temperature in your area.
Checking the area around the generator - Area should be free of inflammables and hazardous materials. - The generator is placed at least 1 meter (3 ft) away from buildings or other facilities. - Generator is located in well-ventilated, open area. - The exhaust pipe is pointed toward a well-ventilated open area. - The generator is positioned away from any type of open flame or sparks. - The generator is placed in a stable condition on a level surface, not on an inclined or uneven surface.
5. OPERATING PROCEDURES Starting - Check oil and fuel levels. - Make sure the appliance is disconnected. -Turn engine switch to "CHOKE" position. (When engine is warm or temperature is high, start engine with the switch at "RUN" position.) -Pull the starter handle slowly until passing the compression point (resistance will be felt), then return the handle to its original position and pull swiftly.
AC application - Check the voltmeter for proper voltage. The generator is thoroughly adjusted and tested in the factory. If the generator does not produce the specified voltage, consult your nearest Generator dealer. -Check the electrical appliance to see if its switch is turned off, then connect the appliance to the generator. - Switch on the appliance. e Applicable AC wattage : The following table shows the maximum wattage of various appliances which can be connected to the generator.
o Grounding the generator -To ground the generator to the earth, connect the grounding lug of the generator to the gounding spike driven into the earth or to the conductor which has been already grounded to the earth. - If such grounding conductor or grounding electrode is unavailable, connect the grounding lug of the generator to the grounding terminal of the using electric tool or appliance. CAUTION Generator must be grounded when the electrical appliance is grounded.
0 Charging safety : Batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas. This gas is emitted from the vent hole of each battery cap. Safety precautions must be observed to prevent ignition and subsequent explosion of the hydrogen gas caused by open flame or sparks. - No smoking and open flame near a charging battery. - Be sure to perform the battery charging operation in a well-ventilated area. Extreme care must be taken as electrolyte will burn eyes, skin and clothing.
6. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Proper maintenance of the generator will allow reliable performance and reasonable maintenance cost. This section outlines a standard schedule for this purpose. This schedule should be adjusted as necessary to conform to the owner's conditions of use.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Do-it-yourself service I I Item I Clean air cleaner Clean & retighten screws I Interval ....refill as required Check & add engine oil Check before each use I I Wash cleaner element Every 50 hours Clean spark plug Every 50 hours Change engine oil Every 100 hours (initial : after 20 hours) Adjust spark plug gap Every 6 months (200 hours) See page 15.
7. EASY CHECKING AND MAINTENANCE Air cleaner servicing 0 If the air cleaner element is clogged, a decrease in generator output, erratic engine operation and / or excessive fuel consumption may result. Be sure to clean air cleaner periodically as follows : Interval : Every 50 hours or clean every day (or every 10 hours) when operating in extremely dusty conditions. Q?o I Cleaning procedure -Using a coin, loosen screw securing air cleaner cover in place and remove cover.
Checking the spark plug 0 Inspection and adjustment procedure : - Open spark plug cover. -Remove plug cap and remove spark plug using a plug wrench. -Using plug cleaner or wire brush, clean plug electrode of burnt or deposited carbon. - Check for proper gap between electrodes. Adjust gap to 0.6 to 0.7 mm (0.02 to 0.03 in) by bending the side electrode if necessary. - Recommended replacement plug type : BR6HS (make : NGK). AL 0.6-0.7 (0.02-0.
8. PREPARATION FOR STORAGE - Remove fuel strainer cup, open fuel cock and completely drain fuel from tank. -After draining fuel, reinstall strainer cup and close the fuel cock. -Start and run the generator without an appliance connected until the carburetor is completely empty of fuel. - Change old lubricating oil with fresh oil. - Clean air cleaner element. - Remove spark plug and pour 5-10 cc (1 fl.oz.) of lubricating oil through the plug hole.
9.TROUBLESHOOTING When engine fails to start or if the engine turns but there is no electricity at the receptacles, perform the following checks. When engine fails to start : Place engine switch to "CHOKE" position to start engine. ("RUN" position when starting a warm engine.) proper position. If closed,open fuel cock. Check fuel level. If empty, refill fuel tank. Check to make sure that the generator is not connected to an appliance.
IO. APPLICABLE WATTAGE OF THE GENERATOR Electric appliances normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycle and (input) wattage, the electric power which the appliance consumes. However, when the generator is used as the power source both power factor and starting current should be considered. HEATING RESISTANCE (Power factor 1.O, No starting current) Electrical loads such as incandescent lamps and hot plates require the same wattage as indicated on the label.
Applicable wattage Appliance 60Hz I Incandescent lamp,hot plate I Fluorescent lamp,mercury lamp I Electric tool I Pump,compressor I I I I ~ up to 1ooow ---1 I I I up to about 600W up to about 600W up to about 250W NOTE : 1. Appliances equipped with electric motors. They need large starting current as mentioned above. However after starting, the appliance requires only 1.2 to 2 times the wattage to continue running.Therefore, the generator has reserve power for another appliance. 2.
