manual abstract
Never attempt to modify or adjust engine speed or output voltage. GENERATOR SHUT OFF 1. Remove all electrical load devices from the generator. 2. Allow the engine to run for 2-3 minutes with no electrical loads. 3. Set the switch to the OFF position. This will stall the engine. 4. Verify that the generator has completely stopped. 5. Allow the unit to cool before installing any covers. LOAD DEVICES 1. The 120 volt receptacles are rated for 15 amps. The 120V twist lock receptacle is rated for 30 amps. 2. The 12V DC outlet is rated for 8 amps. 3. Total combined load through any combination of receptacle must not exceed the rated load limits of the generator. NOTE: Power draw can be calculated by multiplying volts and amps. The resulting number is wattage. Never exceed the posted maximum wattage for the generator or any individual receptacle. Refer to owner's manuals and product tags to determine the wattage of electrical load devices. Long power cords and extension cords draw additional power. Keep cords at minimum possible length. Maintenance INFREQUENT USAGE If the generator is used infrequently, starting difficulty may occur. To help prevent difficulty starting, the generator should be run for approximately 30 minutes per week. STORAGE If the generator is not to be used for extended periods of time, the following pre-storage procedures should be performed: 1. Make sure engine oil is filled to the proper level. 2. Drain all fuel from the tank, lines, and carburetor. 3. Remove the spark plug, and pour approximately one teaspoon of oil into the spark plug hole. 4. Pull the starter cord several times to spread the oil throughout the cylinder. 5. Slowly pull the starter cord, until resistance is felt. This indicates that the piston is moving upward on the compression cycle, and the intake and exhaust valves are closed. (The piston pushes a small amount of air from the spark plug hole on compression.) Refer to the engine manual that accompanies this unit for instructions regarding maintenance of engine components. 2 Operating Instructions GN2560V, GN2563V, GN3560V and GN3565V Operating Instructions GN2560V, GN2563V, GN3560V and GN3565V Symptom Possible Cause(s) Corrective Action Alternator field is not energized 1.

Referring to the wiring diagram, clean and reconnect all wiring ] 3. Replace capacitor ] 4. Test winding resistance, replace field winding if necessary ] 5. Test diodes, replace if necessary ] Low output voltage with no load 1. Engine speed is too slow 2. Open diodes 3. Faulty capacitor 4. Open or shorted field windings 1. Adjust engine speed ] 2. Test diodes, replace if necessary ] 3. Replace capacitor ] 4. Test winding resistance, replace field winding if necessary ] High output voltage with no load 1. Faulty capacitor 2. Engine speed is too fast 1. Replace capacitor ] 2. Adjust engine speed ] Low output voltage under load 1. Open diode 2. Engine speed too slow at full load 3. Excessive load applied 1. Test diodes, replace if necessary ] 2. Adjust engine speed ] 3. Reduce the applied load Erratic output voltage 1. Unbalanced engine 2. Dirty, corroded, or loose wiring connection 3. Unstable load applied 1. Refer to engine manual 2. Referring to the wiring diagram, clean and reconnect all wiring ] 3. Remove all loads, then apply each one individually to determine which one is causing erratic function Noisy operation 1. Loose generator or engine bolt 1. Tighten all mountings 2. Short circuit...
