Subaru R1100 Generator F.A.Q.

How do I start the Subaru R1100 Generator?

To start the Subaru R1100 Generator, ensure it is on a flat surface. Check the fuel and oil levels, turn the fuel valve to the ON position, set the choke lever to the CLOSED position, and pull the starter handle briskly. Once the engine starts, move the choke lever to the OPEN position.

What should I do if the generator won’t start?

If the generator won't start, check the fuel level, ensure the fuel valve is open, and the choke is in the correct position. Inspect the spark plug for wear and clean or replace if necessary. Also, confirm that the oil level is adequate.

How often should I change the oil in my Subaru R1100 Generator?

The oil should be changed every 50 hours of operation or once a year, whichever comes first. Use SAE 10W-30 oil for optimal performance.

What type of fuel is recommended for the Subaru R1100 Generator?

Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol to prevent damage to the fuel system.

How do I perform regular maintenance on the generator?

Regular maintenance includes checking the oil level, inspecting the air filter, cleaning the spark plug, and ensuring the generator is free of dirt and debris. Consult the user manual for detailed maintenance schedules.

What should I do if the generator is running but not producing electricity?

If the generator runs but doesn't produce electricity, check the circuit breaker and reset if necessary. Inspect wiring connections and ensure there are no loose or damaged wires.

Can I use the generator during rainy conditions?

The generator should not be used in wet conditions as it can lead to electrical shock or damage. Use a canopy or generator tent for protection if necessary, ensuring proper ventilation.

How do I store the generator when not in use for extended periods?

To store the generator, drain the fuel tank and carburetor, change the oil, and clean the exterior. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture.

What is the recommended load capacity for the Subaru R1100 Generator?

The Subaru R1100 Generator is designed to handle a continuous load of approximately 900 watts. Avoid exceeding this load to prevent damage to the generator.

How can I reduce noise produced by the generator during operation?

To reduce noise, place the generator on a soft surface like grass or a rubber mat. Ensure it is properly maintained, as a well-tuned engine runs more quietly. Consider using a soundproof enclosure if necessary.
