FOREWORD Thank you very much for purchasing a CUMMINS GENERATOR. This manual covers operation and maintenance of the CUMMINS GENERATOR. This CUMMINS GENERATOR can be used for general electrical equipments, appliances, lamps, tools as an AC power source. With regards to DC application, the terminals are used only for charging 12 volt battery. Never use this generator for any other purposes.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please make sure you review each precaution carefully. Pay special attention to statement preceded by the following words. WARNING “WARNING” indicates a strong possibility of severe personal injury or loss of life if instructions are not followed. CAUTION “CAUTION” indicates a possibility of personal injury or equipment damage if instructions are not followed. WARNING Do not operate the generator near gasoline or gaseous fuel because of the potential danger of explosion or fire.
WARNING Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands. The operator may suffer severe electric shock if the generator is wet due to rain or snow. WARNING If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not pour water directly over the generator, nor wash it with water. WARNING Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding procedures are followed during each and every use. Failure to do so can be fatal. WARNING Do not contact the generator to a commercial power line.
Symbols and Meanings In accordance with the European requirements (eec Directives),the specified symbols as shown in the following table are used for the products and this instruction manual. Pr Read the operator's instruction manual. Fire, open light and smoking prohibited. Stay clear of the hot surface. Caution, risk of electric shock. Exhaust gas is poisonous. Do not operate in an unventilated room. Do not connect the generator to the commercial power lines. Stop the engine before refueling.
2. COMPONENTS (See Fig. 1) 3. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS (See Fig. 2) NOTE 1. CHECK ENGINE OIL (See Fig. 2-q,w) Please refer to the illustrations on the back page of the front cover or back cover for Fig. 1 to 6 indicated in the sentence. q CONTROL PANEL Before checking or refilling oil, be sure generator is located on stable and level surface with engine stopped. ■ w FUEL TANK Remove oil filler cap and check the engine oil level.(See Fig.
2. CHECK ENGINE FUEL (See Fig. 2-e,r) 4. CHECK GENERATOR SURROUNDINGS. WARNING WARNING Do not refuel while smoking or near open flame or other such potential fire hazards. Otherwise fire accident may occur. ■ Check fuel level at fuel level gauge. (See Fig. 2-r) q EMPTY (E) ■ ■ ■ w FULL (F) e "LEVEL" MARK r FUEL LEVEL LINE ■ Make sure you review each warning in order to prevent fire hazard. If fuel level is low, refill with unleaded ■ ■ automotive gasoline.
4. OPERATING PROCEDURES (See Fig. 3,4) CAUTION 1. STARTING THE GENERATOR ■ CAUTION Check the oil level before each operations as outlined on page 5. ■ (a) Make sure the appliance is disconnected. (b)Turn engine switch to " "(CHOKE) position. (When engine is warm or temperature is high, start engine with the switch at " ■ " (OPEN) position.) (See Fig. 3-q) q" " (CLOSE) w" " (CHOKE) Do not run the starting motor over 5 seconds continuously.
2. USING ELECTRIC POWER WARNING ■ ■ ■ Make sure that the appliance is switched OFF before connecting it to the generator. Do not move the generator while it is running. Be sure to ground the generator if the connected appliance is grounded. Failure to ground unit may lead to electrical shock.
(2) AC APPLICATION (See Fig. 4-q) (a) Make sure the voltage indicated in the LE display is the normal level (approx. 240V). ■ This generator is thoroughly tested and adjusted in the factory. If the generator does not produce the specified voltage, consult your nearest Cummins dealer or service shop. (b) Turn off the switch(es) of the electrical appliance(s) before connecting to the generator. (c) Insert the plug(s) of the electrical appliance(s) into the receptacle.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHILE CHARGING ■ 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 can burn eyes and clothing. Be extremely careful to avoid contact. If injured, wash the affected area immediately with large quantities of water and consult a doctor for treatment.
NOTE The following wattage chart is general guide only. Refer to your specific appliance for correct wattage. To determine the total wattage required to run a particular electrical appliance or tool, multiply the voltage figure of the appliance/tool by the amperage (amps) figure of same. The voltage and amperage (amps) information can be found on a name plate which is normally attached to electrical appliances and tools. Applicable Wattage (approx.
6. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE DAILY ■ Check oil level. ■ Check all components according to "PRE-OPERATION CHECKS." ■ Wash cleaner element. -more often if used in dirty or dusty environments. ■ Check spark plug, clean if necessary. ■ Change engine oil. *-more often if used in dusty or dirty environments. ■ Adjust spark plug gap. ■ Clean fuel strainer. ■ Replace spark plug and cleaner element. ■ Clean and adjust carburetor,valve clearance, and valve seat along with cylinder head.
7. "HOW-TO" MAINTENANCE (See Fig. 5) 4. CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK PLUG (See Fig. 5-r,t) CAUTION Make sure the engine is stopped before starting any maintenance, servicing or repair. (a) If the plug is contaminated with carbon, remove it using a plug cleaner or wire brush. (b) Adjust the electrode gap to 0.6 to 0.7 mm. q SPARK PLUG w PLUG WRENCH e SPARK PLUG CAP NOTE It is recommended to use ear protection when performing operation, maintenance and repair of the generator set. 1. SIDE PANEL (L.R.
(c) Put the supporting arm on the long bolts and tighten with the butterfly nuts. (Push the lead-acid battery all the way inward.) (d) Arrange the wiring so that it won't be damaged by possible vibration caused by the engine. (e) Only after checking that the engine's starter key is in the "OFF" position, securely connect the red cable, to the positive (+) terminal. And then connect the other cable to the negative (-) terminal.
8. PERIODIC OPERATION AND INSPECTION 9. TRANSPORTING When transporting the generator, make sure that When furnishing the generator as emergency the fuel (gasoline) should be drained from the electric power source, periodic operation and tank. inspection are needed. WARNING Fuel (gasoline) and engine oil will be deteriorated with time, and this causes that the engine is ■ difficult to start and as the results improper engine operation and fault.
10. PREPARATION FOR STORAGE (See Fig. 6) The following procedures should be followed prior to storage of your generator for periods of 6 months or longer. ■ Drain fuel from fuel tank carefully by disconnecting the fuel line. Gasoline left in the fuel tank will eventually deteriorate making engine-starting difficult. ■ Remove the drain screw of the carburetor.(See Fig. 6-q) q DRAIN SCREW ■ Change engine oil. ■ Check for loose bolts and screws, tighten them if necessary.
