DANGER

CARBON MONOXIDE

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

• NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.

• ONLY use a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust.

Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poison.

3. Operation

3.1 Determining Power Requirements

Wacker Neuson generator Model GV 5000A is designed to operate single-phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230 VAC. Model GV 5003A is designed to operate single phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230VAC and/or three-phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 400VAC. Both single and three phase sides of the generator may be run at the same time.

NOTICE: Do not exceed the power output of the generator. Damage to tools or generator will occur. See Technical Data.

Check the nameplate or label provided on tools and appliances to make sure their power requirements are met by the power output of the generator. If the wattage is not given for a particular tool or appliance, contact the tool manufacturer for wattage requirements.

Some appliances 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 types of appliances require more power than is actually stated on their nameplate.

The information in “Approximate Starting Power Requirements” is offered only as a general guideline to help you determine power requirements for different types of equipment. Check with your nearest Wacker Neuson dealer, or contact the manufacturer or dealer of the tool or appliance, if you have questions regarding power requirements.

NOTICE: DO NOT exceed the rated current limit of any receptacle. NOTICE: If a tool or appliance does not reach full speed within a few

seconds after it is switched on, turn it off immediately to avoid damage.

wc_tx000271gb.fm 13

Page 14

Operation GV 5000A/5003A

Approximate Starting Power Requirements

• Incandescent lights and appliances such as irons and hot plates, which use a resistive-type heating element, require the same wattage to start and run as is stated on their nameplates.

• Fluorescent and mercury lamps require 1.2–2 times their stated wattage to start.

• Electrical motors and many types of electrical tools often require a large starting current. The amount of starting current depends on the type of motor and its use.

• Most electrical tools require 1.2–3 times their stated wattage for starting.

• Loads such as submersible pumps and air compressors require a very large force to start. They need as much as 3–5 times the wattage stated on the nameplate in order to start.

If the wattage is not given for a particular tool or appliance, it can be calculated by multiplying its voltage and amperage requirements:

Single Phase: VOLTS x AMPS = WATTS

Three Phase: VOLTS x AMPS x 1.732 x 0.8 = WATTS

3.2 Installation

Place the generator in an area where it will not be exposed to rain, snow, or direct sunlight. Make sure it is positioned on firm, level ground, so it will not slide or shift. Position the engine exhaust away from areas where people may be present.

The surrounding area must be free from water and moisture. All components must be protected from excessive moisture.

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. NEVER use this generator inside a home or garage, EVEN IF

Page 16

Operation GV 5000A/5003A

3.3 Generator Derating

All generators are subject to derating for altitude and temperature. Internal combustion engines, unless modified, run less efficiently at higher altitudes due to the reduction of air pressure. This translates into a lack of power and thus reduction in generator output. Temperature affects both engine and generator performance. As temperature increases, an engine will run less efficiently and more resistance will be found in electrical components. Therefore, as the temperature increases, the output of the generator decreases. Altitude also affects the cooling capacity of air—the higher the altitude the less dense the air is and thus the lower its ability to transfer heat.

For every increase in altitude of 500 m (1650 ft.) above 1000 m (3300 ft.), the output of the generator will be reduced by 3%. For every increase of 5° C (9° F) in ambient temperature above 40° C (104° F), the output of the generator will be reduced by 3%. Use the tables shown for altitude and temperature deration factors. It may be necessary to consider both altitude and ambient temperature deration factors to determine true generator output.

GV 5000A/5003A Operation

3.4 Use of Extension Cords

When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a voltage loss occurs—the longer the cord, the greater the voltage loss. This results in less voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current draw or reduces performance. A cord with a larger cross section will reduce the voltage loss.

NOTICE: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat.

Use only tough rubber-sheathed cable in accordance with IEC 245-4.

Damaged cords can cause electric shock. Electric shock can cause serious injury or death. DO NOT use worn, bare, or frayed cords. Replace damaged cords immediately.

WARNING

Do not exceed the rating of the cord.

Contact the cord manufacturer if in doubt about cord use.

Choose the cord size from the Minimum Extension Cord Size Table or calculate minimum cord size using the Minimum Extension Cord Size Graph. The X axis of the graph represents A x m (Ampere x meter) values. The Y axis represents wire size in mm2. Multiply the operating current for the load in amps (A) by the desired extension cord length in meters (m). Find the result along the X axis. Move up the graph until you reach the appropriate sloped line for your application. Move to the Y axis; this is the recommended minimum cord size.

Example:

For a 3-phase, 400V application, if the operating current for the load is 15 A, and the desired extension cord length is 100 m, then:

15 A x 100 m = 1500 A x m.

1500 A x m = 2.5 mm

Generators require a fixed engine speed to maintain the correct voltage. Engine speed is controlled by a governor which automatically adjusts to varying loads on the engine to maintain a constant speed of 3000 rpm. There is no throttle control.

To set the engine to the proper speed: Turn the speed adjusting screw (a) in or out to obtain a no-load speed

of 3100 rpm. NOTICE: Setting the engine speed too high or too low may damage

tools and other appliances attached to the generator.

Adjust engine to the no load or idle speed per the Technical Data.

4.6.1 Start the engine and allow it to warm up to normal operating temperature.

4.6.2 Turn the throttle stop screw (a) in to increase speed, out to decrease speed. Make sure the throttle lever is touching the stop screw before measuring rpm.

4.7 Storage

Before storing the generator for a long period of time:

4.7.1 Close the fuel valve and remove and empty the sediment cup or fuel strainer.

4.7.2 Disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor. Place the open end of the fuel line into a suitable container and open the fuel valve to drain the fuel from the tank.

Gasoline is extremely flammable. Drain the fuel tank in a wellventilated area. DO NOT drain the fuel tank in an area with flames or

WARNING

4.7.3 Loosen the drain screw on the carburetor and drain any remaining fuel

4.7.4 Change the engine oil.

4.7.5 Remove the spark plug and pour approximately 30 ml (1 ounce) of

sparks.

from the carburetor.

clean engine oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine a few turns to distribute the oil to the inside of the cylinder walls.

4.7.6 Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt and leave the handle in this position. This ensures that the intake and exhaust valves are closed.

4.7.7 Store the generator in a clean, dry area.

4.8 Transport

Let the engine cool before transporting the generator or storing it indoors, to avoid burns or fire hazards.

WARNING

When transporting the generator:

4.8.1 Turn the engine fuel valve to the OFF position.

4.8.2 Position the generator level to prevent fuel from spilling.

4.8.3 Secure the generator by tying it down with a suitable rope.

When transporting the machine by hand, be sure to employ manpower commensurate with the weight of the machine. To avoid back injury

WARNING

when lifting the machine, bend the knees to pick it up rather than bending your back only.
