8. WATTAGE INFORMATION:
8.1. Some appliances need a "surge" of energy when
starting. This is commonly known as a "LAGGING" Load.
8.2. This means that the amount of electrical power needed
to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to
maintain its use.
8.3. 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.
8.4. Check with your nearest branch with questions
regarding power surges of certain appliances or power
tools.
8.5. Electrical loads such as incandescent lamps and
hot plates require the same wattage to start as is needed
to maintain their use. This is commonly known as a
"LEADING" Load
8.6. Loads such as fluorescent lamps with starters
require1.5 to 2 times the indicated wattage during start-up.
8.7. Electrical motors require a large starting current.
Power requirements depend on the type of motor and its
use. Once enough "power" is attained to start the motor,
the appliance will require only +-50% of the wattage in
order to continue running.
8.8. Most electrical tools require 1.5 to 3 times their
wattage for running under load during use. Loads such as
submersible pumps and air compressors require a very
large force to start. They need 3 to 5 times the normal
running wattage in order to start.
9. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE:
FOR ALL YOUR SERVICE, MAINTENANCE AND
WARRANTY QUERIES PLEASE CONTACT CREATIVE
HOUSEWARES. PLEASE REFER TO THE BACK PAGE FOR
CONTACT DETAILS.
9.1. DAILY INSPECTION:
Before staring the generator please check the following
service items:
9.9.1. Check if there is enough fuel
9.9.2. Excessive vibration, noise
9.9.3. Loose or broken bolts
9.9.4. Fuel leakage
9.9.5. Safe surroundings
9.2. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE:
Periodic maintenance is vital for the safe and efficient
operation of the generator. Check the table below for
periodic maintenance intervals.
IT IS ALSO NECESSARY FOR THE USER OF THIS
GENERATOR TO CONDUCT THE MAINTENANCE AND
ADJUSTMENTS ON THE EMISSION-RELATED PARTS
LISTED BELOW TO KEEP THE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM EFFECTIVE.
The emission control system consists of the following
parts:
(1) Carburettor and internal parts
(2) Cold start enrichment system, (if applicable)
(3) Intake manifold, (if applicable)
(4) Air cleaner elements
(5) Spark plug
(6) Magneto or electronic ignition system (if applicable)
(7) Spark advance/retard system, (if applicable)
(8) Exhaust manifold, (if applicable)
(9) Hoses, belts, connectors and assemblies
The maintenance schedule indicated in the table is based
on normal generator operation. Should the generator be
operated in extremely dusty conditions or in heavier loading
conditions, the maintenance intervals must be shortened.
This will dependent on the contamination of oil, clogging of
filter elements and the wear and tear of parts.
10. "HOW – TO" MAINTENANCE
10.1. CLEANING AIR FILTER:
CAUTION
Do not wash the elements with kerosene, petrol or oil.
A dirty air filter element will make the starting of the
generator difficult. It will also cause the generator to under-
perform and may cause permanent damage. Always keep
the air filter element clean.
10.1.1. The urethane foam element must be washed with
a cleaning detergent. After cleaning it ensure that it is dried
properly before reinstalling. Please clean every 100 hours.
10.1.2. Clean the paper element by tapping and blowing it
gently to remove dirt and dust. Never use oil to clean the
paper element. Please clean every 50 hours and replace
every 200 hours. (If applicable)
Please clean the air filter elements more often when
operating in dusty environments.
