Load Connections; Load Cable Selection - Shindaiwa DGK45F Owner's And Operator's Manual

CAUTION : FIRE
Do not carry flammable items (such as fuel, gas and paint) or items that are
highly combustible near the generator as the muffler, exhaust gas and other
parts become extremely hot.
Operate this generator 3 ft. (1 m) or more from walls or other hindrances, and
on a level surface.
Remove the wood ties if using anchors to secure the generator
Do not connect the generator output to indoor wiring.
 If installing this generator, set up barriers or fencing completely around the boundary
line of the construction area and take measures to prevent persons not involved in the
construction from entering the area.
 Position this generator on a hard, flat and leveled surface.
 Position this generator 3 ft. (1 m) or more from walls or other hindrances so that the
operation panel door and left/right check doors are accessible for internal
inspection/maintenance.
< Note >
 This generator is manufactured presupposing that it will be installed on a flat, hard and leveled
surface. Accordingly, care must be taken as using under any other installation conditions can
result in a fault or malfunction.
 Do not place any objects where they will interfere with the radiator or muffler exhaust ports.
Objects interfering with these ports will result in reduced engine output, overheating, and electrical
component fault/malfunction.
 Operating the equipment in dusty or excessively salty location can result in a clogged radiator or
overheating resulting in malfunction/fault or reduced insulation of electrical components. Be sure
to thoroughly inspect and perform maintenance if using in such locations.

Load Connections

7-1. Load Cable Selection

CAUTION : PROPERTY DAMAGE
 Cable burnout could occur due to generated heat if the load current exceeds
the allowable current of the cable.
 The voltage drop between cables is large if the cable is excessively long or
thin, resulting in decreased input voltage to equipment using the generator,
thereby causing decreased performance, faulty operation and malfunction.
Select cable for use that has sufficient thickness and an allowable current for use, and
distance from the generator to the equipment using the generator.
< Note >
 Select cable with a thickness that ensures that the voltage drop across the cable will be
within 5% of the rated voltage.
