Morning bosses
Pls can an I better my neighbor tiger gen power a 350W Qlink blender.
I just got the gen and I want to be using it to charge my laptop, phone and power a white bulb and a ceiling fan.

dru23:



Never mix oil with any brand or weight.. Obviously if it is an emergency especially if u on the road . than ok , but once u get a chance replace with same brand .. You can always switch brands , but not mix

What about mixing with the same brand?

Me personally I wouldn't do or advice such practices.. But if am on the highway and notice that my engine is shorten oil.. And I have to mix or use same brands or weight of oil . Than I have no choice to use it till I can revert back to recommended choice

Gptech:

Funny question guys but I need insights, does stabiliser increase load for the generator to the extent of increased fuel consumption?
It's a small Gen by the way.

Plugging stabilizer alone to socket doesn't increase fuel consumption but when you load the stabilizer with high wattage appliances expect it to have effect on the generator and fuel consumption.

Dru23 is very correct, do it only in emergencies and drain out then replace after emergency is over. Mixing new and used oil is like using dead dry batteries with new ones.

Hmmm... I only use it for my Tv, decoder, fan, and I also charge a lot of phones as there is a current blackout in my hood.

All right. Thanks.

This doesn't say more fuel consumption but why using stabilizer with generator. If na generator wey get AVR no need

Is there a small mini stabilizer I can use for Celing fan? The shop I rent has a very low current. And the gaint fan is not spinning properly. I was wondering if there is a mini stabilizer to boast the fan to 220v for maximum speed.

Good generator provided you got the original.

My generator started vibrating this night
and can't use it because I don't have something to it
it happens whenever the wire that brings light into the house is connected to the gen
what's the likely cause please

Check the running speed, it's probably too low.

Abeg can a new battery in a new generator run down if not in use? I haven't used mine(the gen itself) since i bought it and its a week now

You can check YouTube for videos.

I bought this gen in April but I usually power it daily so I want to ask that apart from regular change of oil, do I need to call an engineer for servicing? I also notice that the noise is getting louder

Abeg! Who has a good generator for sale not more than 1.8kva. Location is lagos mainland. Kindly quote me or send a pm. Thank you.

Please I want to ask, can a 3.5kva generator power a pressing iron and a 12kg manual washing machine at different times

How many hours do you power daily on the average and how often do you change oil?

Use only dry Iron with less than 1000W. Generator will power the washing machine too. You may not use both equipment simultaneously.

Have you cleaned the spark plug? You may even need to replace it.
