ENGLISH 6.WATTAGE INFORMATION Some appliances need a “surge” of energy when starting. This means that the amount of electrical power needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to maintain its use. Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles / Hz, amperage (amps) and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool. Check with your nearest dealer or service center with questions regarding power surge of certain appliances or power tools.
When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a certain amount of voltage drop or loss occurs in the extension cord which reduces the effective voltage available for the appliance or tool. ENGLISH VOLTAGE DROP IN ELECTRIC EXTENSION CORDS Nominal cross section A.W.G. Allowable current mm2 No. A No./mm Ω /100m 1A 3A 5A 8A 10A 12A 15A 0.75 18 7 30/0.18 2.477 2.5V 8V 12.5V ─ ─ ─ ─ 1.27 16 12 50/0.16 1.486 1.5V 5V 7.
ENGLISH 7. SPARK ARRESTER In a dry or wooded area, it is recommendable to use the product with a spark arrester. Some areas require the use of a spark arrester. Please check your local laws and regulations before operating your product. The spark arrester must be cleaned regularly to keep it functioning as designed.
MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT, OR REPAIR OF THE EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY BE PERFORMED BY ANY NONROAD ENGINE REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL. DAILY INSPECTION ENGLISH 8.

9. ”HOW-TO” MAINTENANCE ENGLISH ENGINE OIL CHANGE ■ Change engine oil every 100 hours. (For new engine, change oil after 20 hours.) (a) Drain oil by removing the drain plug and the oil filler cap while the engine is warm. Oil drain plug ■ Use fresh and high quality lubricating oil to the specified level as directed on page 6. If contaminated or deteriorated oil is used or the quantity of the engine oil is not sufficient, the engine damage will result and its life will be greatly shortened.
ENGLISH CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK PLUG (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 (0.024 to 0.028 in.). Gap 0.6 to 0.7 mm (0.024 to 0.028 in.) FRANÇAISE Spark plug : BR-6HS (NGK) CLEANING FUEL STRAINER Dirt and water in the fuel are removed by the fuel strainer. (a) Remove the strainer cup and throw away water and dirt. ESPAÑOL (b) Clean the screen and strainer cup with gasoline.
If the brush become excessively worn, its contact pressure with the slip ring changes and causes a roughened surface on the slip ring, resulting in irregular generator performance. Check the brush every 500 hours or if generator performance is irregular. ENGLISH CHECKING CARBON BRUSH (RGX6500, 7500) BRUSH HOLDER 0.6 to 0.2 in. (15 to 5 mm) BRUSH HOLDER (a) Remove the brush cover. FRANÇAISE BRUSH If the brush is 5 mm long or less, replace it with a new one.
ENGLISH 10. PREPARATION FOR STORAGE 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 enginestarting difficult. Drain screw FRANÇAISE ■ Remove the carburetor float chamber and also drain the carburetor. ■ Change engine oil. ■ Check for loose bolts and screws, tighten them if necessary.
When generator engine fails to start after several attempts, or if no electricity is available at the output socket, check the following chart. If your generator still fails to start or generate electricity, contact your nearest SUBARU Industrial Power Products dealer or service shop for further information or corrective procedures. ENGLISH 11. TROUBLESHOOTING Set the choke lever to “CLOSE” position. Check if fuel valve is open. If closed, open fuel valve. Check fuel level.
