I just bought a 97 hijet jumbo and was loading it up and looked under the truck and there it was........ The folks I purchased it from had never heard of one. there is a recepticle in the cab that says 100 volt AC. I havent checked the output yet, sure hope its more like 115 volt ac.....lol Dave
Plug things in with caution. The standard in Japan is 100V/200V @ 50Hz not 110V/220V @ 60 Hz like here in the States.
You probably can't use it as is. However, you might pull it off and see how they connected it and substitute a western voltage generator.
Yes. When in college the industrial ag instructer and a few of us went to a conference in nashville. One group from europe, on their first day of the conference, plugged in their computers and cnc devices to the hotel outlets, and presto chango, they no longer worked. On the way home, the instructor was telling us and i asked what the cycle was there and he nearly wrecked when he realized what they had done.
ok looking at that got me thinking (can anyone else smell burning?) is this were the 4x4 front drive comes out? i use the 4x4 but if...
I would take it down to a Alternator shop or someone who rebuilds starters and see if they can convert it to American Current
sorry could you post a pic of were the shaft i going to? this could be easyer than draging my geny round...
Its 100volt 50/60hertz and popular here in Japan for rice farmers and fishermen who need to run lights late at night in remote places. It will run US/Canadian appliences just fine. The PTO joint is universal and can be used for other things.
AC voltage and cycles are dependent on motor RPM. There should be a throttle control in the cab somewhere, and hopefully a tachometer. If the generator is over driven it will probably put out 120v/ 60Hz. Best way to check out the outlet is plug in an incandescent lamp. You can then see the difference between idle and full throttle. The worst thing that can happen is that you will blow the bulb. Next step would be to put a Fluke meter on it and check the voltage and frequency. Best of luck with it!!
You can run lites, fans, clocks ect on 50 hz. I have a welder that is 50hz and things just run slower than on 60hz which is kinka like saying 1 hz per second which makes a clock 10 min slow each hour. ray allen
There is a Hz meter next to the powered outlet on the dash so you know what you are getting as well. Use a multimeter to check the volts it is suppling you with and then you know. The mini truck I have has a generator on it.
