Hi boss.

I eventually got the gen on Saturday evening. Got a contact of one of their dealers via their service centre.
I finally resolved to the one below due to budget constraints.

But I would like to ask is this a 2.5kva cos from their outlet they said this is 2.5kva.

Surge/ starting watt is 3.5kva, while running /rated watt is 3.125kva.
How much did you get it?

Hi sir, I want to get the below Gen from a sumec outlet here in Akwa Ibom and would like to confirm what the guy said. He said it a 2.9kva gen and the last price is 100k.

Gptech:

Price tag 155k but I negotiated 150 after so many plea they sold it to me cos it was their manager that told them I'm was coming.

Can u pls explain the English above the starting and watt rating.

They poured 1 ltr of oando oil where I bought it but the Kazeem that helped me with the wiring was saying they shouldn't ve and ve that it is too much.

Pls advise on maintenance culture.

We currently do not ve light in my area so I would be using it on the average of 5 to 6 hrs per day until power is fully restored.
4 hrs in the night then 1 hr in the afternoon

Its not 2.9kva. Can you snap anywhere the power rating is written? I hope this dealer is a certified Firman dealer? This is Nigeria, even certified dealers can sell fakes, just be careful.

I think I saw this type where I got mine and I saw it for either 110 or 125k.

That of 110 was labeled 2kva but I can't remember the no. Whilst that of 125kwas labeled 2.5kva.

So if the person is an authorised dealer and it is original, I think the price is fair.
I have a feeling their prices are quite high where I got mine but I couldn't take risk cos they are trusted dealer

Its not possible for 1 litre of oil to be emptied in the generator without spilling. Did they give you the empty can? Open the oil cap while the generator is on a level ground and see if it spills, if it does allow the excess oil to pour in a container until it stops spilling.
If you'll run the generator everyday, with your usage, it's advisable to change oil between 10-12 days.

Will have to go back and check. Where do I snap when I go back there.

the first price the attendant called was 120k, when I priced it he said 110k last price. I told him I was buying it same day and we dragged it to 100k

You'll have to look for anywhere it's written. By the way, what do you intend to power with the generator?

Oga GPTech, please I need your input. Thanks.

Hello prof,

My Thermocool junior max 1500 generator sometimes drops to low current but when I put it off and on after a few times it returns to normal current. What could be the fault please?

Oga GPTech, please I need your input. Thanks.

Your AVR is going bad.

Not advisable, unless you won't be pumping frequently.

Gptech:

Thanks for the prompt replies. Will get it

Gptech:

The pumping of water will be done once or twice per week. Is this frequent?

I use 2.9 kva for pumping machine. That mark the end of begining of my gene. It will work for it but your gene will be crying while using it. Except you are using 4.5 kva

Your AVR is going bad.

Thank you for the reply.

Good day,

Any time I switch on my generator, after few minutes the voltage drops, I have to shake the AVR and it goes back to normal

Hisense 200l freezer
8kg washing machine
32inch TV
2 ceiling fans
4 energy saving bulbs and

Get at least a 4.5kva generator from Sumec Firman or Thermocool.

Obviously, AVR needs to be checked.

Can't personally recommend Maxi for now. It's advisable to get something slightly bigger than the Sumec 3000E2.

Hello, Greetings everyone.
Please I need your help in determining the fault of my 3.5kva iTec(Zinox) Generator.

I have been using this generator for the past 6months without any issues at all, just constantly changing the engine oil (it still even kick start with one draw)

Just last night here, I put it on around about 9pm and by about 5am it made a loud noise “Brrrrrrrr” and went off itself.


I tried restarting it this evening, it refused to come on…plus the exhaust made some gun shot sound with sparks coming out of it.

please, What might be the fault??

I checked the engine oil, it was still full to the gauge.
My Generator doesn’t drain oil.



Please I want to have an idea what’s wrong with it before inviting a repairer … I don’t want the repairer to come cause more damage to my Gen…
Because I cherish that Gen so much

Where can I get original I better pass my neighbor generator? Thanks...
