UNIT CAPABILITIES
Generator Connections - The diagram (figure A)
represents a 5500 watt generator. Loads A and B are
120 Volt loads. Up to 2750 watts at 120 volts (22.9
Amps) can be drawn from the generator at each of the
load points. This generator produces 120 and 240
volt, 60 Hz (Hertz), AC (Alternating Current).
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED TO PREVENT
OVERLOADING EITHER OF THE GENERATORS 120
VOLT OUTPUT CIRCUITS (A OR B).
Check the appliance or tool nameplates for the current
and voltage to insure compatibility. Remember that
amperage utilized by the 240 volt load shown as C
reduces the power available at both A and B. Any
remaining 120 volt loads should be equally divided
between A and B. Failure to split the load will cause
permanent damage to the stator. Although circuit
breakers are provided, damage due to overloading
constitutes abuse and will not be warranted.
DESCRIPTION
This package system consists of an electric 'key start'
engine generator set equipped to run any one of three
fuels; gasoline, vapor LP ( propane) or natural gas;
manual transfer load center rated for 60 amps and
wheel kit for the generator allowing you greater mobility;
generator cover and a battery tender (charger).
ENGINE/GENERATOR
The engine generator set consists of a Honda over-
head valve, single cylinder, air cooled engine equipped
to run on gasoline, vapor LP (propane) or natural gas.
The engine operates at 3600 rpm and frequency
regulation is maintained by the engine governor within 4
cycle's variation (62.5 Hz to 58.5 Hz) from no load to full
rated load.
The generator is rated at 6000 watts surge, 5500 watts
(5.5 kW) continuous, it is a brushless, single bearing,
direct drive, rotating field design. The generator is
connected to the engine's tapered (quill) crankshaft
extension. The engine generator is mounted in a full
wrap around cradle assembly.
A four-wire 125/250 volt receptacle (NEMA L14-30R)
is provided on the generator receptacle panel for
connecting to the manual transfer load center. Two
additional 120 volt receptacles are also provided for
your convenience.
INTENDED USES
These engine generator sets have been designed
primarily for portable use. Both 120 and 240 volt AC
receptacles are provided in the 'control panel' to plug in
your loads (portable tools, and small appliances and
lights). These units are dual wound generators,
therefore the 120 Volt loads must be equally split with
1/2 of the rated capacity available on each of the two
120 Volt circuits. See unit capabilities for further
explanation.
These portable units require large quantities of fresh
air for cooling of both the engine and the generator.
Fresh air is drawn from both the engine end and the
generator end and is exhausted at the center of the
unit. For safety, long life and adequate performance,
these units should never be run in small compartments
or enclosed areas, without positive fresh air flow.
RESTRICTED USES
DO NOT remove from the cradle assembly. Removal
of the generator from the cradle assembly may cause
excessive vibration and damage to the engine
generator set.
DO NOT install and operate these portable
generators in a small compartment., i.e. generator
compartment of vehicles, motor homes or travel
trailers. These compartments will not allow enough
free flow fresh air to reach the engine generator set for
cooling and will cause the unit to overheat damaging
both the engine and the generator. Small
compartments will also develop hot spots where there
is very little air flow and may cause a fire.
DO NOT attempt to operate at 50 cycles. These units
are designed and governed to operate only at 60
cycles.
