I have 2 MX-2 cleaners (single gun hot water/steam). They have several interlocks and can be tricky to run. I have only run mine in the hot water mode (~225-250 degrees C), possibly got one to work in the steam mode once (~350 C). The pump is some kind of Cat pump similar to what is used in...

In the Air Force, it was called fall out money. I was first aware of this phenomenon in the mid '80s. I was even so naive to suggest that if we didn't spend it, why not give it back since I am a taxpayer also. If everyone did it, it would be a big pile of money. They looked at me like I was...

What kind of generator is it? Need more information. Robert

I would suggest holding the knob in start a little longer than in your video. I have a 003a and I must hold it around 15 seconds or it shuts off upon release (probably longer than normal). My 002 can be released in around 5 seconds. On my 804a and b generators, I hold the knob until the oil...

I have not tried it yet with my 804A (should be comparable to your 004A) but I bought a 15 hp motor wound for 480v to drive my Curtis C89 compressor (55 cfm at 15 hp). It will get to about 460v with the voltage knob turned up in high setting (nominally 416v) which should work. It has decided...

Do you mean an 803 or 003 since my 003 does not have an emergency shutdown to my knowledge. Robert

Does yours go in the fuel or does it have a tank just for the oil? (Like mine, which is the modified version). I bought some oil at WalMart. Just make sure it mixes with Diesel fuel. Did you get the footlocker with all the goodies? Mine will make enough smoke to hide the house when the burner...

How did you arrive at getting an 804 to power your house? I bought mine to power three phase equipment. This size does not have a setting (like the 802 and 803) for 240 v single phase and the TM says that damage may occur to the generator pulling unbalanced single phase loads. A member here...

That sounds like my 804A when I first got it. My clicking sound was coming from the starting solenoid. I would tap and wiggle on it and eventually, it started. You could also have some corrosion somewhere and not enough juice is getting to the right spot. Know where your hand is when poking...

Have you done anything to try to balance out the load on the phases? I understand that you need juice when you need need juice, but this is a three phase only generator. This will be a good test of the note that states that damage may result from unbalanced loads, here is some real world...

Has anyone suggested talking to the IG (Inspector General) at Ft Drum? Since GL is a tenant there, some unit in the military should have responsibility over them in some manner. You could also call the office of the Commanding Officer and say you would like to lodge an IG complaint. They have...

What unit do you have? Did you look for the manual on Liberated manuals.com? I recently bought two out of six FDECU-5 units from Ft Bragg that came up for sale. All were never used and still had the end of the power cords wrapped in factory wrapping. They also removed the refrigerant (in...

The grease on the lugs is actually a good thing. It should be dielectric grease. I can't tell what your point is on the first picture. Is the overflow tube not soldered in good, your post was a little scarce in that category. If true, try to solder it back. A missing battery tray is not the...

The airplane that I fly and manage uses a 24 V nicad battery made by Marathon. A new one was installed last year and should have lasted several years since you can replace any bad cells at a time up to 5 (it has 20). However, this year, I did something wrong while trying to get the right...

I reread the original post and did not get that you already had one. The M17 only makes hot water unless you are about to blow it up or starve if of water. I made the mistake of not totally getting all of the pressure off of a hose while taking it apart and scalded the snot out of my wrist...

We had a pretty good ice storm in NC back in Dec of 02. I think we were without for 5 or 6 days. It made an impression on me on how much I like electricity. We had no generators back then but heated with wood and propane so it wasn't too bad. It was a lot like living in Spain or as someone...

Back in 2003, I was high bidder on a 16" jointer for woodworking at the end of the original time. I was aware of the overtime rules. 1.5 hours later and $1500 more, I was the winning bidder. The other bidder never outbid me, just kept bumping me until he ran out of money. That day, I would...

Usually in the help section at Advance, they sell a blister pack with several different sizes of rubber caps. Our John Deere tractor has a Chinese copy water pump now with two ports. I usually get two to three years between failure of the rubber cap. Robert

I have three FDECU-5s. I have been having trouble running mine on my MEP-004a or my -003a. I can run all of them in the maintenance mode where you can turn on components one at a time until I try to run the compressor, then most of the time my 004a will show a short or the 003a will kick off...
