Failure to read and understand the Safety Messages and Operating Instructions could result in injury to yourself and others. Potential hazards associated with the operation of a MQ GA-2.
MQ GA-2.9R— SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS CAUTION Rotating Parts Hazards NEVER operate equipment with covers, or guards removed. Keep fingers, hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. CAUTION CAUTION Equipment Damage Hazards Other important messages are provided throughout this manual to help prevent damage to your portable generator, other property, or the surrounding environment.
MQ GA-2.9R— RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION DANGER Read this manual! Failure to follow instructions in this manual may lead to serious injury or even death! This equipment is to be operated by trained and qualified personnel only! This equipment is for industrial use only. The following safety guidelines should always be used when operating the MQ GA-2.9R Portable Generator: GENERAL SAFETY ■ DO NOT operate or service this equipment before reading this entire manual.
MQ GA-2.9R — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION ■ ALWAYS be sure the operator is familiar with proper safety precautions and operation techniques before using generator. ■ NEVER leave the generator unattended, turn off engine when unattended. ■ Unauthorized equipment modifications will void all warranties. ■ ALWAYS ensure generator is on level ground before use. ■ DO NOT place hands or fingers inside generator engine compartment when engine is running.
MQ GA-2.9R — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION DANGER -ELECTROCUTION HAZARDS During operation of this generation, there exists the possibility of electrocution, electrical shock or burn, which can cause severe bodily harm or even DEATH! Emergencies ■ ALWAYS know the location of the nearest fire extinguisher. ■ ALWAYS know the location of the nearest first aid kit. To avoid these hazards: NEVER use damaged or worn cables when connecting equipment to the generator.
MQ GA-2.9R — OPERATION AND SAFETY DECALS Machine Safety Decals The MQ GA-2.9R portable generator is equipped with a number of safety decals (Figure 2). These decals are provided for operator safety and maintenance information. The illustration below shows these decals as they appear on the machine. Should any of these decals become unreadable, replacements can be obtained from your dealer. Figure 2. Operation and Safety Decals MQ GA-2.9R A.C. GENERATOR — OPERATION & PARTS MANUAL — REV.
MQ GA-2.9R — GENERAL INFORMATION MQ GA-2.9R Familarization General Inspection Prior to Operation This generator has been thoroughly inspected and accepted prior to shipment from the factory. However, be sure to check for damaged parts or components, or loose nuts and bolts, which could have become disloged in transit. The MQ Model GA-2.
MQ GA-2.9R— LOAD APPLICATION Single Phase Load Always be sure to check the nameplate on the generator and equipment to insure the wattage, amperage and frequency requirements are satisfactorily supplied by the generator for operating the equipment. Generally, the wattage listed on the nameplate of the equipment is its rated output. Equipment may require 130— 150% more wattage than the rating on the nameplate, as the wattage is influenced by the efficiency, power factor and starting system of the equipment.
MQ GA-2.9R — CONTROLS AND INDICATORS Figure 2. Generator Controls and Components PAGE 16 — MQ GA-2.9R A.C. GENERATOR— OPERATION & PARTS MANUAL — REV.
MQ GA-2.9R — CONTROLS AND INDICATORS 1. 120V Output Receptacle – This NEMA L5-20R twistlock receptacle will provide 120V, 20 amps, 60 Hz. 2. GFCI Receptacle – This receptacle will provide 120V at all times. 3. AC-Voltmeter – This voltmeter indicates (with a mark) the rated 60 Hz, single phase output voltage. In addition the voltmeter can also be used as a diagnostic tool. If the voltmeter indicator (needle) is below the rated voltage, engine problems may exist (low/high RPM's).
MQ GA-2.9R — GENERATOR REFUELING DANGER Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT attempt to start the engine until the fuel residue has been completely wiped up, and the area surrounding the engine is dry. If generator is placed in a truck bed with a plastic liner, REMOVE generator from truck bed and place on ground (Figure 4) to refuel.
MQ GA-2.9R — INSTALLATION Outdoor Installation Install the generator in a area that is free of debris , bystanders, and overhead obstructions. Make sure the generator is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around. Also install the generator in a manner so that the exhaust will not be discharged in the direction of nearby homes. Indoor Installation The installation site must be relatively free from moisture and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture.
MQ GA-2.9R — INSTALLATION Connecting the Ground The nut and ground terminal on the generator should always be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground. The ground cable should be #8 size wire minimum. At the generator, connect the terminal of the ground cable between the lock washer and the nut (Figure 5) and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the ground cable to a suitable earth ground (ground rod). Figure 5. Generator Grounding PAGE 20 — MQ GA-2.9R A.C.
MQ GA-2.9R— PRE-INSPECTION General Inspection Prior to Operation Extension Cable Ground Power Tools When electric power is to be provided to various tools or loads at some distance from the generator, extension cords are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow for distance in length and amperage so that the voltage drop between the generator and point of use (load) is held to a minimum. Use the cable selection chart (Table 3) as a guide for selecting proper cable size.
MQ GA-2.9R — PRE-INSPECTION (ENGINE) CAUTION NEVER operate the generator in a confined area or enclosed area structure that does not provide ample free flow of air. Figure 8. Engine Oil Dipstick (Oil Level) ALWAYS wear approved eye and hearing protection before operating the generator. Before Starting 1. Read safety instructions at the beginning of manual. 2. Clean the generator, removing dirt and dust, particularly the engine cooling air inlet, carburetor and air cleaner. 3.
MQ GA-2.9R — INITIAL START-UP (ENGINE) CAUTION DO NOT attempt to operate this generator until the Safety, General Information and Inspection sections of this manual have been read and thoroughly understood. 3. Place the choke lever (Figure 12) in the "OPEN " position if starting a warm engine or the temperature is warm. 4. Place the engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 13) in the "ON " position. This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial start-up of the trash generator.
MQ GA-2.9R— INITIAL START-UP ENGINE/OPERATION 6. If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 12 ) to the “OPEN” position. If the engine has not started repeat steps 1 through 5. 7. Before the generator is placed into operation, run the engine for 3-5 minutes. Check for abnormal smells, fuel leaks, and noises that would associate with lose components. 8. Refer to the AC voltmeter (Figure 15) on the control box.
MQ GA-2.9R — PREPARATION FOR LONG -TERM STORAGE Generator Storage For storage of the generating set for over 30 days, the following is required: ■ Drain the fuel tank completely, or add STA-BIL to the fuel. ■ Run the engine until the gasoline in the carburetor is completely consumed. ■ Completely drain the oil from the crankcase and refill with fresh oil. ■ Remove the spark plug, pour 2 or 3 cc of SAE 30 oil into the cylinder and crank slowly to distribute the oil.
MQ GA-2.9R — MAINTENANCE (ENGINE) Use Table 5 as a general maintenance guideline when servicing your engine. For more detail engine maintenance information, refer to the engine owner's manual supplied with your engine. Table 5. Engine Maintenance Schedule DESCRIPTION (3) OPERATION BEFORE CHECK X FIRST EVERY MONTH 3 MONTHS OR OR 10 HRS. 25 HRS. EVERY 6 MONTHS OR 50 HRS. EVERY Y E AR OR 100 HRS. EVERY 2 YEARS OR 200 HRS.
