Tip 3:
To put off the genset
*First disconnect power from main switch
*Lock fuel tank
*Off start switch
*Move caburator lever arm to close position

This is the best way to put off this type of genset.

Tip 2 cont'd:

Replace the exhaust , on the genset and recalibrate the voltage to 220vac with your meter.

Recall that most tiger genset have no voltage indicator, hence the need to use your meter to read and calibrate your genset to the right voltage on load.

Use 2 cups minimum for better engine cooling performance. 1 cup is not adequate.

slimjohn2k5:


2 cups?
I do use one from the fuel thank cover

Tip 2:
After about 60-70hrs of operation, service the genset by removing the exhaust soot blocking the engine block base with a flat screw driver.

Clean the spark plug and adjust the gap width of the plug.

Check the caburator firing screw and also the adjoining springs and links.

Tip1:
Always use the correct fuel ratio: 2cups of oil for a full 4ltrs tank of petrol. If the oil is light, then make it 3cups.

Too much oil will make genset to smoke and less oil will cause overheating.

ABC of Tiger Gen (I pass my neighbour)

I have used this type of genset (different ones) for over 15years and have seen all manner of issues. It's the most economical genset till date but has a drawback of regulation. I have put below, tips to help you have less challenges with yours and maximise it's use. You can ask me any question you need clarity on.

*Power* : 950VA,800W
It's better to load the genset not above 700W for better operation.

*Voltage*: 220Vac....use a voltage multimeter to set the genset to this value.

*Startup* : Ensure all power is disconnected from the switch and only your fan(s) ....2max are switched on. This helps to take the initial inductive load and then you could switch on other appliances one by one.

*Updates*: I shall be providing updates here as new information become available and clearification if needed. You can reach me via no. on my signature. However, I appeal for questions to be asked here so that more persons benefit from your experience.
Thank you.

Branch is reliable but as with all investments, advice is to spread your risks. Never put all your eggs in one basket or test the depth of a river with your two feet.

Habiodunz:
new to all these gen stuffs
how do I know the kva of my gen
it's hp is 3.8

1hp = 0.933 kVA
3.8hp = 0.933*3.8 = 3.5454KVA

WarriAproko:
what gum can i use for this.

Get a new genset damper. It is not expensive. Gum will not hold it.

Good day Gurus in the house,
Please I need your professional advice before I venture... Someone introduced Oxford Agrovest... She said their interest is 32% per annual.

Please what is your take sir/ma. I don't want to lose my capital even though I wants my capital to generate income.

Thanks in anticipation.

Safeguard your capital please. It's not worth taking the risk until the digital agric space improves. Visit the digital agric thread to get informed better.

Hello All,
I have a friend who complained to me about the lack luster attitude and undue delay some of our "Citadels of learning" pose in processing applications and dispatch of student transcript. A lot of opportunities are being lost by many because of this attitude and it gets me wondering why such administrative activity should last beyond a month as in the case of my friend.

I must commend our private universities with their processing time and encourage them to continue. They are really setting the pace and standard of education in the country.

Share your experience here on processing times for various universities. Let us call out those ones notorious for delays and praise the best universities who do theirs diligently. I do hope and believe that our unbiased assessment will be seen by the Minister of Education and the NUC.

A young Nigerian girl has wowed Twitter users with her breathtaking shots of the Maitama area of Abuja.
The shots covered the AA oil house, Zenith bank and Transcorp Hilton hotel.

Quick fact: The AA Oil house is the most expensive house in Abuja. The land which the house seats on cost 1 billion naira.

Interest is 4% per month = 12*4 = 48% pa
Pay out = 14% pa

Opay profit= 34%

otomatic:


I don't understand this rates. You mean they receive interest at 4% but pay out at 14%? Seems to be a mismatch and unprofitable for them.

Microwave Oven
Common Problem: Microwave not heating

Solution:

The Diode converts the A/C power output of the transformer to D/C, doubling the voltage to nearly 5,000 volts. This high voltage powers the magnetron to heat the food. If the diode burns out, the magnetron won’t receive enough voltage to operate, preventing the microwave from heating. When the diode fails, it is often visibly burned out. Inspect the diode and if the diode is burned out, replace it. If inspecting the diode proves inconclusive, test it with a multimeter that uses a 9-volt battery or put a 9-volt battery in series with the diode. When the leads are reversed, the diode should only have continuity in one direction.
(Warning: The microwave oven can store a lethal amount of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the high running voltage and the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace the diode.)

Most microwaves have three or four door switches. When the microwave door closes, the door switches actuate in sequence to ensure that the door is closed properly. If any of the door switches fails, the microwave will not start or heat. To determine if any of the door switches are defective, use a multi-meter to test each of the switches for continuity. If any of the door switches does not have continuity, replace it.
(Caution: The microwave oven can store thousands of volts of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace a door switch.)

The magnetron uses high voltage, high current DC power to generate the microwave frequency that cooks the food. If the magnetron burns out, the microwave won’t heat. The magnetron is not repairable—if the magnetron is burned out, you must replace it.

Due to the high running voltage and the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace the magnetron.)

The high voltage capacitor works with the high voltage diode to convert the output of the transformer to DC voltage and to double the output voltage. If the capacitor is burned out, the entire high voltage circuit will stop working properly, and the microwave won’t heat. To determine if the high voltage capacitor is defective, use a VOM meter with a capacitance testing capability.

Lawn Mower

Below is a list of the most commonly replaced parts associated with each lawn mower symptom:

Lawn mower won’t start:
Check /replace spark plug, carburetor might be faulty and need service or replacement, start switch might be bad, fuel pump might be the cause.

Lawn mower engine stops after a few seconds:
Carburetor might be faulty, gas cap not fitted properly or spark plug is faulty or tight enough.

Lawn mower battery keeps draining:
Battery is weak, charger bad or alternator faulty, voltage regulator do also fail sometimes.

Lawn mower leaks gas:
carburetor bowl gasket not set properly, float needle stuck and need service, primer bulb stiff, fuel shut-off solenoid not functional.

Lawn mower wheels won’t turn (for motorized types):
v-belt slacked, drive pulley worn, wheel assembly not in order, transmission issues.

Lawn mower is hard to start:
carburetor clogged, primer bulb stiff, carburetor faulty, loose or faultyspark plug, fuel pump damaged.

Washing Machine
Common Problem: Machine won't spin

Solution:
Inspect the drive belt to determine if it is broken or if it is loose on the pulleys. If the drive belt is broken or loose, replace it.

The clutch assembly makes the connection between the transmission and the inner tub. It helps the tub to gradually get up to the proper spin speed. If the clutch is worn out, it may prevent the tub from spinning.

The drive motor might be defective. However, the drive motor is rarely at fault for this symptom. Before replacing the drive motor, first check all of the more commonly defective washer components.

The washer transmission might be worn out or defective. Transmissions have gears in them that can fail causing the washer not to spin. However, this is almost never the case.

Inspect the door strike assembly for damage. If the door strike is broken, replace it. The door strike is not repairable—if it is broken, you must replace it.
