  • Page 14: Physical Location

    Physical Location Your generator is portable to go where the work is. To be safe, several factors must be considered: Keep extension cords as short as possible. For effective cooling and maintenance, the generator should be mounted on a flat, smooth, non-flammable level surface.
  • Page 15: Frame Ground Connection

    Frame Ground Connection WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. NEC requires that the frame and exposed conductive surfaces (metal parts) be connected to an approved earth ground.
  • Page 16: Use Of Electric Motor Loads

    Use of Electric Motor Loads Electric motors require much more current (amperes) to start them than to keep them running. Some motors, particularly split−phase motors are very difficult to start and require 5 to 7 times more current to start them. Repulsion−induction type motors are the easiest to start and normally only require 2 to 3 times as much current to start them.

  • Page 23: Voltage Variations

    Voltage Variations This generator set must be run at its proper speed to obtain the correct electrical power at its output. All engines have a tendency to slow down when a load is applied to it. The engine governor is designed to hold the operating speed as nearly constant as possible. When the electrical load is increased, the engine is more heavily loaded and engine speed drops slightly.
