Page 23
GPi 3200 / 4300 Operation
Do not disconnect the battery while the machine is running.
Do not attempt to run the machine without a battery.
Do not attempt to jump-start the machine.
In the event that the machine has a discharged battery, either replace the
battery with a fully charged battery or charge the battery using an appropriate
battery charger. See Technical Data for the equivalent battery specification.
Dispose of waste batteries in accordance with local environmental regulations.
2.8 Use of Extension Cords
When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the
generator , a volt age loss occurs—the longer the cord, the greate r the volt ag e loss.
This results in less voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases

Approximate
starting power
requirements
This generator is designed to operate single-phase, 60 Hz equipment running at
120 VAC. It also provides DC power strictly intended for charging 12V automotive
style batteries.
Check the nameplate or label provided on tools and equipment to make sure their
power requirements are met by the power output of the gene rator. If the wattage is
not given for a particular tool or piece of equipment, contact the tool manufacturer
for wattage requirements.
NOTICE: Do not exceed the continuous rated output of the generator. Damage to
tools or generator can occur. See Technical Data.
Some pieces of equipment and tools require a surge of current when starting. This
means that the amount of power needed to initially start the equipment is larger
than the power required to keep it running. The generator must be capable of
supplying this "surge" current. Other equipment may require more power than is
actually stated on its nameplate.
The information in the following chart is offered only as a general guideline to help
you determine power requirements for different types of equipment. Contact your
nearest Wacker Neuson dealer, or the manufacturer or dealer of the tool or
equipment, with questions regarding power requirements.

AIR INDEX
To show compliance with California emission regulations, a hangtag has been
provided displaying the Air Index level and durability period of this engine.
The Air Index level defines how clean an engine’s exhaust is over a period of
time. A bar graph scaled from “0” (most clean) to “10” (least clean) is used to
show an engine’s Air Index level. A lower Air Index level represents cleaner
exhaust from an engine.
The period of time (in hours) that the Air Index level is measured is known as
the durability period. Depending on the size of the engine, a selection of time
periods can be used to measure the Air Index level (see below).
Descriptive Term Applicable to Emissions Durability Period
Moderate - 50 hours (engine from 0 to 80 cc)
125 hours (engine greater than 80 cc)
Intermediate - 125 hours (engine from 0 to 80 cc)
250 hours (engine greater than 80 cc)
Extended - 300 hours (engine from 0 to 80 cc)
500 hours (engine greater than 80 cc)
Notice : This hangtag must remain on this engine or piece of equipment, and
only be removed by the ultimate purchaser before operation.

for any damage to goods, loss of time or inconvenience.

by ROBIN AMERICA. In the event that any emission-related part is
found to be defective during the warranty period, you must notify the
Robin America Inc. Customer Service Department at 1-630-350-8200
and you will be advised of the appropriate warranty service facilities
where the warranty repair is to be performed.

When warranty repair is needed, the engine must be brought to an
authorized service dealer or warranty station’s place of business during
normal business hours. In all cases, a reasonable time, not to exceed
30 days, must be allowed for the warranty repair to be completed after
the engine is received by the authorized service dealer or warranty station.
G. MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT AND
REPAIR OF EMISSION-RELATED PARTS
Only warranted engine replacement parts approved by FUJI should
be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs
on emission-related parts. If other than authorized parts are used for
maintenance, replacement or repair of components affecting emission
control, you should assure yourself that such parts are warranted by
their manufacturer to be equivalent to authorized parts in performance
and durability. FUJI ,however, assumes no liability under this warranty
with respect to parts other than authorized parts. The use of nonauthorized replacement parts does not invalidate the warranty on
other components unless the non-authorized parts cause damage to
warranted parts.
