FAQ
Q:
How come my engine keeps shutting off even though there is sufficient
fuel and engine oil in the unit?
A:
The
speed governor might be too sensitive. To fix this problem, there is an
8mm bolt on the speed governor. Loosen this bolt and move it up or down
until the sensitivity decreases. After the bolt has been set, tighten
the bolt.
Q:
How come my generator is not producing enough voltage?
A:
Sometimes the tension of the spring on the speed governor is too low.
To fix this issue, use a pair of needle nose pliers and bend the hook
of the spring up a little to increase the tension of the spring.
Another way of solving this problem is to loosen the two bolts on the
speed governor and turn the speed governor either clockwise or
counterclockwise until the desired voltage has been met. Also, the
spring should have good tension with the governor. A loose spring will
not yield good results.
Q:
How come my generator will not start?
A:
There
may be air packets in the fuel line. The fuel pump on the engine is a
gravity pump, not a sucking pump. To remedy this issue, the fuel line
needs to be bled of the air packets. Remove the rubber fuel line from
the gravity pump and let fuel drain into a small container. Then place
the fuel line back in place. To minimize wasting battery power, push
the decompression lever down and crank the engine. Once the lever pops
back up, push the lever down again and crank again. Repeat this
procedure until you feel that fuel is reaching the engine. Finally,
leave the decompression lever in the up position and crank the engine.
The engine should start right up.
Q:
I just bought a new generator and the engine does not crank and will
not start. What is the problem?
A:
Make
sure the battery is filled with electrolytic solution and fully charged
before using the generator. Due to shipping policies and safety issues,
all ETQ generators come with dry battery cells. Wet cells may spill
during shipping causing damage to the generator and harming people who
will be handling the unit. It is up to the consumer to fill the battery
with the correct acid and to fully charge it before using it.
Q:
How come i am not getting a lot of fuel flow even though my fuel tank
is full?
A:
The fuel
filter may be over tightened causing the fuel filter gasket shape to
distort. The distorted shape of the rubber gasket may be blocking the
hole of the fuel filter preventing fuel from traveling down the fuel
line. When replacing the fuel filter, make sure the rubber gasket on
the fuel filter is placed on correctly and that the fuel filter is not
overtightened..
Q:
How often should i change the engine oil?
A:
For
normal use, engine oil should be changed every 100 hours of operation.
For heavy use (operating 15+ hours a day multiple days a week) we
recommend the consumer to change the oil every 50 hours of operation.
Engine oil changes depend on the frequency and duration an engine is
subjected to.
Q:
What is engine break-in and how often should i change the oil?
A:
A
break-in period is required when an engine is new or whenever the
cylinder walls have been re-conditioned to accept new piston rings. An
engine break-in "seats" the piston rings against the cylinder walls to
minimize both oil consumption and blow-by of combustion gases. The
engine oil should be changed every 20 hours of use. Also, do not
overload the engine during the break-in period.
Q:
What kind of engine oil should i use in my diesel generator?
A:
For
optimum performance always use 15W40 oil or Delo 400 oil. Conventional
or synthetic oils are both fine to use. Note: Although some of the
generators ask to use 10W30 on the stickers above the unit, ALWAYS USE
15W40 GRADE OIL FOR BEST RESULTS.
Q:
How come my generator is not producing the wattage of the model number?
A:
Our
model numbers are not based on wattage ratings. Our products model
numbers are independant from its specifications.
Q:
Where is the fuel filter for my generator unit?
A:
The fuel
filter is under the fuel tank. It is located at the fuel outlet from
the fuel tank. There a few bolts two remove in order to get the fuel
filter out. The fuel filter should be changed periodically depending on
the type of environment the generator is operated in. If the generator
is used in a dusty and dirty environment, the fuel filter should be
changed more frequently. If operated in a cleaner environment, the fuel
filter should be changed based on the routine schedule stated in the
owners manual. NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLTS OF TH FUEL FILTER AS
THIS MAY CAUSE THE RUBBER FUEL FILTER GASKET TO DISTORT AND CLOG THE
FUEL FLOW FROM THE FUEL FILTER.
Q:
Where is the oil filter for the diesel engine?
A:
The ETQ
diesel engines use a oil strainer instead of an oil filter. The oil
strainer is located on the far lower left of the speed governor on the
engine. Its usually black and looks like another oil dipstick, but
slightly different. Please refer to the owners manual for an
illustration of where the fuel strainer is. The fuel strainer should be
cleaned every time a oil change is performed.
Q:
How come my generator is not producing any power at all?
A:
Check
the connections to the generators AVR to verify that they are secured
to its terminals. Due to the vibrations of the engine, sometimes these
connectors can come loose and get disconnected. To correct this
problem, remove the black cover off the back of the generator. Usually
there are two 8 or 10 mm bolts holding the black cover onto the
generator. After removing the black cover, the AVR is exposed. There
are two wires connected to the AVR, make sure the two wires are
connected to the AVR and secured tight to the terminals. The order of
these wires does not matter and the wires are not color coded. Just
make sure they are connected to the AVR and secured tight. Finally,
replace the black cover and start the unit. There should be power at
the outlets now.
