Hyundai Backup Generator to Help With UK Extreme Weather!

Hyundai Backup Generator to Help With UK Extreme Weather!

Over the last couple of days, the UK has played host to a variety of different extreme weathers including heavy snow blizzards, gale force winds and torrential rain. Each extreme weather decided to wreak havoc across the UK in a chain reaction, not allowing any time for those effected to deal with what had happened and prepare for what was to come next.

Last night, the Environment Agency had issued flood warnings for many parts of the UK, after heavy rain fell in Southern England for up to 10 hours. As well as this, the West Country was hit by a massive snow blizzard, causing a pile up of nearly 6 inches of snow in the worst hit places.

But these treacherous weather conditions will not put a stop on Bonfire night tonight. Many cities, towns and villages will be preparing today to put on an almighty fireworks show. But you might need to wrap up warm as experts have warned that this bonfire night is set to be the coldest of the century!

So with all this news of snow storms and flooding hitting the UK, we need to get prepared in order to stay safe, warm and dry over the fast approaching winter months.  Genpower Ltd, the UK’s sole importer of Hyundai power equipment, have a few ideas that could make dealing with the inevitable winter disasters a lot easier.

Genpower Ltd offer a wide range of both petrol and diesel backup generators, which allow you to keep your house lit up and cosy, protecting you from the storms brewing outside. One of the most popular backup generators that Genpower have to offer in the Hyundai DHY6000SE silenced diesel backup generator. With a maximum power output of 5.kw as well as ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) connection and functionality, the DHY6000SE makes the perfect machine to protect both yourself and your family this winter.

For those looking for a smaller backup generator to power only a few essentials during a blackout, the Hyundai HY3600SEi petrol leisure inverter generator may be the ideal backup generator for you! The HY3600SEi features an extremely easy start up, with three starting methods to suit every need. These include a recoil pull start, electric key start and remote control start. The remote control start allows you to start this very clever backup generator from a distance of up to 20 metres away by simply pressing a button on a key fob twice.

As well as backup generators, Genpower also sell a range of petrol and diesel water pumps, to help minimise the damage caused by flooding. The Hyundai HY80 petrol water pump is one of the best sellers of the Hyundai water pump range.

DHY6000SE Backup Generator

DHY6000SE Backup Generator

The winter of 2012 is fast approaching, with temperatures all across the UK dropping dramatically for the first time today. Tonight is set to be one of the coldest this year, with temperatures dropping even further to give sub zero results. But this harsh winter weather won’t only just bring the cold, it will also have a detrimental effect on our electricity supplies, with power cuts and blackouts now seeming inevitable over the next couple of months. With many venerable members of the population, such as young children and the elderly set to be a risk from long, freezing cold nights without any electricity supplies to power heaters and lights to keep warm and safe, now is the time to prepare.

So how can you prepare for the harsh, winter weather on the way?
Genpower Ltd have a simple solution to help during those long, cold nights when the blackouts hit- which comes in the form of a backup generator. A backup generator will ensure that you have a constant and reliable source of power available to you when you need it the most, which will help you keep yourself and your family warm and safe over the next couple of months. Genpower offer a wide range of backup generators, from the smaller Hyundai HY3600SEi to power basic essentials to the massive DHY120KSE with enough power to run a factory!

Is it possible for the backup generator to start automatically in the event of a power failure?
Many of the backup generators available from Genpower have an ATS connection and functionality. It is important to check the product description to see. An ATS, or automatic transfer switch, is available to purchase separately from Genpower, and once set up will allow your generator to turn on automatically when the lights go out. This is ideal for the cold, winter months when going out in freezing temperatures and fumbling your way around in the dark to turn on the generator is not a practical option, allowing you to keep your home lit up and cosy during those pesky blackouts!

What is the most popular backup generator that Genpower offer?
The most popular backup generator that Genpower offer has got to be the Hyundai DHY6000SE silent diesel generator. This is the ideal diesel backup generator to help protect your family from being left in the dark this winter. With an impressive maximum power output of 5.2kw and a 10hp 4-stroke OHV Hyundai engine, this has become an unbeatable backup generator for home or small business use. The DHY6000SE has ATS connection and functionality as mentioned earlier. As well as this, the DHY6000SE features a sophisticated AVR alternator, allowing you to power sensitive electronic  equipment such as laptops, without the worry of their sensitive electrical components and circuitry becoming damaged.

Why should I get a backup generator from Genpower?
Genpower Ltd, based in the small industrial town of Milford Haven, have been the frontier for Hyundai power equipment in the UK for almost five years, with their experience of generators and power products going back a lot longer. Genpower keep in stock in the UK the full range of spares, for the Hyundai range and offer free technical advice on choosing the right backup generator for your needs.

TOP TIP: How to Clean Carburettor Jets on Hyundai Inverter Generators

Here at Genpower, we take note of some of the most common mistakes that people make with our generators. This allows us to inform you about them to prevent you from making the same mistakes, meaning that your generator will last longer and perform a lot better!

One of the most easy and common mistakes made, in relation to suitcase camping inverter generators, occurs when people store their inverter generators for long periods of time (problems can occur in as little as two weeks) and leave the old fuel in the machine. This may cause starting problems next time you use your generator. Modern unleaded petrol has changed and is not as long-lasting as it once was. If petrol is left in the generators carburettor, then over a short space of time, it will start to deteriorate, go waxy and loose it’s combustion properties, making it difficult to start the generator. Eventually it can clog up the main jet or the emulsion tube which will also prevent the generator from starting. When this happens, the generator will not fire when attempting to start it. There is a simple fix if you know how. This involves draining the float bowl and cleaning the carburettor.

Draining the Float Bowl

The majority of the time, the problem can be solved by just draining the old stale fuel in the carburettor float bowl, if this fails, then the carburettor jets should be cleaned. To drain the float bowl, remove the 10mm head bolt (some machines may have a flat screw head) at the bottom of the float bowl, mounted at an angle (not the one in the centre, which is the float bowl locating bolt). The petrol in the float bowl (about 20cc) will flow out, replace the drain bolt, prime the carburettor about 30 to 40 pumps with the primer bulb (HY1000Si does not have a primer bulb, so pull start the recoil starter about 20 times) to refill the float bowl and try to start your generator, if it still does not start you need to clean the carburettor.

Cleaning the carburettor

This takes a few minutes and will also save you the cost of sending the generator back here to us at Genpower to fix something you could have easily done yourself if you knew how.  Cleaning the carburettor isn’t a hard job, but it is inconvenient, so here we are offering some handy hints and tips to get you going in the right direction.
Firstly, remove the side access panel, then proceed as follows:

  1. Remove the float bowl retaining bolt (A) (this is right in the centre of the bowl and not to be confused with the drain bolt which is offset) and float bowl (B). Pic 1
  2. Remove the float pivot pin (B) and float (A). Pic 2
  3. Unscrew the main jet and remove the emulsion tube. Pic 3
  4. Blow out main jet and emulsion tube with an airline. Also blow out the hole where these were removed from and the hole from which the float valve was seated.
  5. Reassembly is the reverse of the above.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A. Float bowl retaining bolt
B. Float Bowl
C. Air filter
D. Fuel tank
E. Carburettor
F. Fuel primer pump
G. Fuel filter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Float
  2. Float pivot pin

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove the main jet and emulsion tube with a flat screwdriver. Take care not to drop these jets. Blow these jets out with an airline to ensure they are clean. (The emulsion tube is a long tube located above the main jet).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blow the main jet and emulsion tube casing out with an air line. Also blow out the hole where the float valve sits.

If your machine is left for more than a month, drain the petrol from the carburettor by either running the machine dry of petrol or releasing the petrol by loosening the float bowl drain screw.

So there it is- how to clean your carburettor jets on your Hyundai inverter generator with ease! Not difficult, but there are probably better things you could be doing with your time. If this is something you don’t fancy doing yourself, there are two things you can do to prevent stale petrol causing problem:

1. Make sure you drain the engine of all fuel, either by physically draining it or letting it run dry. If you are leaving the machine over the winter, it is recommended to empty the fuel tank and the carburettor, if just for a month or so, just drain the carburettor. This can be done by switching the fuel off and letting the machine run until it stops.

2. Use a fuel stabiliser which can give fuel a longer life, often between 1-2 years.

We hope this helps and you enjoy your Hyundai Inverter Generator!

HY3600SEI Backup Generator

HY3600SEI Backup Generator

With cold, icy, frosty weather expected this winter, UK motorists are being told to take extra care when travelling on slippery roads. Tyre manufacturing giant Pirelli is urging motorists to fit their cars with winter tyres which offers more balance for driving during the dangerous winter conditions. Last year, the UK was forced to suffer through many days of snow related problems which nearly brought the entire country to a standstill; with school pupils being sent home, businesses being forced to shut and traffic coming to a standstill on all major roads. So this year, UK residents are being told to prepare for the worst in order to keep safe this winter.

One of the most essential needs we have over the winter months is electricity- to keep the lights bright on those dark winter nights, to power heaters to keep toasty warm and to keep fridges and freezers running to keep your food fresh until it is safe to venture to the shops to get some more supplies in. The ideal way to ensure that you never have to try and survive without electricity this winter is to get your hands on a standby generator. Genpower Ltd, based in the small industrial town of Milford Haven, offer a wide range of high quality, powerful standby generators perfect for keeping you and your family safe this winter.

One of the smaller, more compact standby generators that Genpower offer is the Hyundai HY3600SEi leisure inverter generator. This portable leisure generator is also ideal as doubling up as a backup generator to power your essentials in the home. With a 6.6hp engine and an incredible maximum power output of 3.4kw, this backup generator is a lot more powerful than it first may look. As well as all this, there is no need to worry about noise with this compact machine. Although it houses a powerful engine it only has an extremely low noise level of 58dB @ 7 metres with 50% load.

One of the most impressive features of this backup generator is it’s awesome pure sine wave technology. This allows you to power sensitive electrical equipment, such as phone and laptop chargers straight from the inverter, safe in the knowledge that the sensitive internal components and circuitry will not become damaged.

Another much more powerful standby generator that Genpower offer is the DHY28KSEMulti multiphase diesel generator. This heavy-duty machine houses a maximum three-phase power output of an amazing 28kVA. This makes it the ideal standby generator for homes, businesses, garages or workshops. This standby generator also features an AVR alternator for smooth power output which again means that there will be no problem when powering sensitive electrical equipment.

So give the Genpower team a call on 01646 663848 who will be more than happy to help you choose the ideal standby generator for you this winter. Or for technical specifications, pictures and videos please take a look at our website.
