Output Sockets
The output sockets are located on the Top Box above
the alternator.
The socket arrangement available for connecting load
to is dependant upon the model:

On VRP80-TIN12-T models earthing of the output is
centre tapped to earth, protected by MCBs. 15A MCBs
protecting 16A sockets and 30A MCBs protecting the
32A sockets.
On VRP96D-TL the neutral is
fl
oating.
Select the voltage required using the
voltage selector switch on the top box.
On VRP96T-TL the neutral/star point is
fl
oating.
Connect the equipment to be powered (load) into the
socket receptacles on the generator top box.
NOTICE
Do not overload the generator as this will cause
overheating, and shorten the life of the generator.
Check that the total load from all equipment connected
does not exceed the generator rating. The output
may be protected against severe overload by circuit
breakers, when
fi
tted.
There is an M8 brass stud on the frame which should
be connected to an external earth point or to an earth
spike. An earth spike can be supplied as an optional
extra and should be driven at least 600 mm into soil.
High Altitude Operation
The generator is capable of operating up to 1000m
without signi
fi
cant power reduction.
At higher altitudes, the standard carburettor air-fuel
mixture will be excessively rich. Performance will
decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
For high altitude operation install a smaller diameter
main fuel jet in the carburettor and readjust the
pilot screw. If you always operate the engine at
high altitudes, have these carburettor modi
fi
cations
performed by a reputable service company or contact
HGI.
Even with suitable carburettor jetting, engine
horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for each
300m increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on
horsepower will be greater than this if no carburettor
modi
fi
cation is made.
NOTICE
Operation of the engine at an altitude lower than
the carburettor is jetted for may result in reduced
performance, overheating, and serious engine
damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel
mixture.
Stopping
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the
engine key to the OFF position. Under normal condi-
tions, use the following procedure:
1. Switch off and disconnect the load from the
generator’s output sockets.
2. Allow the generator to run off load for 2 minutes to
cool down.
3. Turn the Key switch to the OFF position
4. Move the Fuel Shut Off Valve to the CLOSED
position.
CAUTION
Leaving the fuel shut off valve in the ON position
after stopping can cause the engine to
fl
ood and
impair starting.
