LOCATION For best service from your stationary generator set there are several factors which should be taken into consideration when choosing the best location in which to permanently mount it: MOISTURE: All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture. Failure to do so will result in deterioration of the insulation and may result in short circuits and a possible electrocution hazard. OPERATING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IN WET ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS CREATE A POTENTIAL ELECTROCUTION HAZARD.
CONNECTIONS WIRING: Use sufficiently large insulated wire to connect the generator set to the load. The gauge of the wire will depend largely on the distance, the permissible voltage drop, and the size and type of load. If you are not sure of the gauge wire needed for your application, consult a competent electrician. FRAYED, CUT, BROKEN, LOOSELY CONNECTED, OR IMPROPERLY SIZED POWER CORDS OR WIRES CAN CAUSE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, FIRE, SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
ENGINE INFORMATION This operator's manual only covers basic day-to-day engine operating instructions. However, the engine manufacturer's manual is included with your generator set and should be referred to for any additional information you may need. Become familiar with and follow all the engine manufacturer's operation, safety and maintenance guidelines. OIL: Use a high quality oil of the type specified in the engine owner's manual for your specific operating conditions.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED ON THE GENERATOR SET AFTER THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED AND THE GENERATOR SET HAS COOLED DOWN. THE BATTERY AND SPARK PLUG SHOULD ALSO BE DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO PERFORMING MAINTENANCE. GENERATOR END MAINTENANCE Generator end maintenance consists of cleaning the generator set, inspecting the wiring and fuel system, and making any necessary adjustments. Generator end maintenance should be performed on a monthly basis (or sooner if needed).
equipped with this feature). Make sure that the auto idler magnet does not touch the throttle lever of the engine when it is running and the auto idler switch is turned off. √ Adjust the engine speed to 3720 RPM's (62 Hz) with no load applied to the generator set. √ Adjust the auto idler speed after you have accomplished the above adjustment.
STORAGE If you will not be using the generator set for a significant amount of time (3 months or longer) you should store the generator to prevent any problems that could arise from sitting idle. Please fully read the following guidelines prior to storing the unit. 1. Remove all fuel from the engine's fuel tank. If your engine is a gasoline engine start the generator set and allow it to run out of fuel and then close all the fuel valves. If it is not a gasoline engine, go to step 2.
USE OF ELECTRIC MOTORS Electric motors require much more current (amperes) to start them than to run them. Some motors, particularly split-phase motors are very difficult to start and requires 5 to 7 times as much current to start them as it does to run them. Repulsion-induction type motors are the easiest to start and normally require 2 to 3 times as much current to start them as to run them. Most fractional horsepower motors take about the same amount of current to start them as to run them.
ORDERING PARTS When Generator repair parts are needed, they may be obtained by calling the Parts Department at Baldor Generators or the nearest local office of Baldor Electric Company. Accurate information such as the following will assure that you receive accurate parts for your particular generator: 1. Provide the model of the generator set. 2. Provide the serial number of the generator set. 3. A complete and accurate description of the part along with a part number (if known). 4. Quantity of parts.
OPERATION PRIOR TO STARTING THE UNIT: 1. Locate and set up the generator set in an open, dry, well ventilated and reasonably level location. OPERATING THIS UNIT IN AN AREA NOT SUITABLE FOR IT'S PROPER USE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE UNIT, SEVERE INJURY, OR DEATH. SEE "LOCATION INFORMATION" SECTION LOCATED ELSEWHERE IN THIS MANUAL. 2. If grounding is required for your application, check to make sure your unit is grounded properly. 3.
If the engine does not start after turning the engine over a few times, smell for fuel near the air cleaner. If there is a significant gasoline smell coming from the air cleaner, turn the choke lever off and attempt to start the engine with the choke off. D. After the engine has started, turn the engine's choke lever to the 'OFF' position. E. Power Connect or 'turn on' the loads you wish to operate. 2. Starting with Electric Start: A.
SIMPLE TROUBLESHOOTING Listed below are the more simple solutions to some of the more common problems that are reported to the Service Department at Baldor Generators. These troubleshooting solutions are meant to be an aid for a person who has minimal electrical knowledge and experience.
E. Restart the unit and check for voltage output. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN USING THE ALTERNATE METHOD FOR FLASHING THE GENERATOR AS YOU WILL BE WORKING AROUND FAST, ROTATING COMPONENTS ALONG WITH LIVE WIRES AND BARE CONNECTIONS. LOW VOLTAGE OUTPUT Possible Problems: 1. Generator speed too slow. If the generator is turning too slow, the generator set will produce low or no output voltage. Make sure the generator is turning at the speed specified on the nameplate. 2. Broken wires or loose connections.
