snow.

e. Use only three-prong grounded plugs and extension cords.

f. Be sure the unit is properly grounded to an external ground rod driven into the earth.

2. FIRE HAZARD- Gasoline and other fuels always present a hazard of possible explosion and/or fire.

a. Do not refuel when the engine is running or hot.

Allow the engine to cool at least two minutes before

refueling.

b. Keep fuel containers out of reach of children.

c. Do not smoke or use open flame near the

generator set or fuel tank.

d. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and know its

proper use. Fire extinguishers rated ABC by

NFPA are appropriate.

e. Store fuel only in an approved container, and

only in a well-ventilated area.

3. DEADLY EXHAUST GAS - Exhaust fumes from any gasoline engine contain carbon monoxide, an invisible, odorless and deadly gas that must be mixed with fresh air.

a. Operate only in well ventilated areas. b. Never operate indoors.

c. Never operate the unit in such a way as to allow exhaust gases to seep back into closed rooms (i.e. through windows, walls or floors).

4. NOISE HAZARD - Excessive noise is not only tiring, but continual exposure can lead to loss of hearing.

a. Use hearing protection equipment when

working around this equipment for long periods

of time.

b. Keep your neighbors in mind when permanently installing this equipment.

5. CLEANLINESS- Keep the generator and surrounding area clean.

“do-it-yourself” project. Consult a qualified,

licensed electrician or contractor. The installation must comply with all national, state, and local codes.

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 (lights, portable tools, and small appliances). 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.

WINCO PORTABLE SERIES

Page 2 60706-113

BASIC INFORMATION

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 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 at 60 Cycles only.

UNIT CAPABILITIES

Generator Connections

The diagram below represents a typical 4000 watt generator. Receptacles A and B are the two 120 Volt duplex receptacles. Up to 2000 watts at 120 volts (16.6 Amps) can be taken from the generator at each of the receptacles. This generator produces 120 and 240 volt, 60 Hz (Hertz), AC (Alternating Current).

The WINCO High Performance series generators have the EXTRA Heavy FULL POWER winding to allow the use of all the power available from the engine at either 120 Volts, 240 Volts or any combination of the 120 or 240 volts. You are not restricted to splitting up your large 120 Volt loads or choosing to power them OR a 240 Volt load. There are no switches or connectors to change. Simply plug in and use the power without being concerned about overloading the generator winding as long as the load doesn't exceed the size of the generator.

Check the appliance or tool nameplates for the current and voltage to insure compatibility. Remember that power taken from receptacle C reduces the power available at both A and B and vice versa.

Starting Electric Motors

Electric motors require much more current (amps) to start them than to run them. Some motors, particularly low cost split-phase motors, are very hard to start and require 5 to 7 times as much current to start them as to run them. Capacitor motors are easier to start and usually require 2 to 4 times as much current to start them as to run them. Repulsion Induction motors are the easiest to start and usually require 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 times as much to start them as to run them.

Most fractional horsepower motors take about the same amount of current to run them whether they are of RepulsionInduction (RI), Capacitor (Cap), or Split-Phase (SP) type. The chart below shows the approximate current required to start and run various types and sizes of 120 volt 60 cycle electric motors under average load conditions.

RUNNING STARTING AMPS HP AMPS SP CAP RI 1/6 3.2 16 TO 22 6 TO 13 5 TO 8

1/4 4.5 22 TO 32 9 TO 18 7 TO 12 1/3 5.2 26 TO 35 10 TO 21 8 TO 17 1/2 7.2 NOT MADE 14 TO 29 11 TO 18 1 13.0 NOT MADE 26 TO 52 20 TO 33

The figures given above are for an average load such as a blower or fan. If the electric motor is connected to a hard starting load such as an air compressor, it will require more starting current. If it is connected to a light load, or no load such as a power saw, it will require less starting current. The exact requirement will also vary with the brand or design of the motor.

Self-excited generators respond to severe overloading differently than the power line. When overloaded, the engine is not able to supply enough power to bring the electric motor up to operating speed. The generator responds with high initial starting current, but the engine speed drops sharply. The overload may stall the engine. If allowed to operate at very low speeds, the electric motor starting winding will burn out in a short time. The generator winding might also be damaged.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

RUNNING THE GENERATOR SET UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGING THE GENERATOR STA TOR AS WELL AS THE MOTOR WINDING.

Because the heavy surge of current required for starting motors is required for only an instant, the generator will not be damaged if it can bring the motor up to speed in a few seconds of time. If difficulty is experienced in starting motors, turn all other electrical loads off and if possible reduce the load on the electric motor.

UNPACKING

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

THIS UNIT HAS BEEN SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL. Failure to maintain the engine oil at the proper level will result in serious engine damage.

When you unpack your new ENGINE GENERATOR be sure to remove all the information sheets and manuals from the carton.
