Page 8: Pre-Start Up Preparation
The figures given above are for an average load such as a blower or fan. If the electric motor is connected to a hard starting load such as an air compressor, it will require more starting current. If it is connected to a light load or no load such as a power saw, it will require less starting current. -
Page 9: Generator Care
GROUNDING - All units must be grounded. Drive a 3/4” or 1” copper pipe or rod into the ground close to the generator. The pipe/rod must penetrate moist earth. Connect an approved ground clamp to the pipe. Run a 10 gauge wire from the clamp to the generator ground screw. -
