Page 17: Operation
G 3.3A Operation Operation Application and Power Requirements This generator is designed to operate single-phase, 50 Hz appliances running at 230 VAC. CAUTION: Do not exceed the power output of the generator. Damage to tools or generator will occur. See Technical Data . Check the nameplate or label provided on tools and appliances to make sure their power requirements are met by the power output of the generator. -
Page 18: Indoor Installation
Operation G 3.3A Indoor Installation If the generator must be installed indoors, adequate ventilation or exhaust hoses must be provided. When venting exhaust fumes, make sure the exhaust piping is large enough to prevent excessive back pressure to the engine. Back pressure reduces engine efficiency and may cause the engine to overheat. -
Page 19: Grounding The Generator
G 3.3A Operation Grounding the Generator See Graphic: wc_gr000544 The generator should be grounded to a good ground source in compliance with state and local regulations. Use 10 mm wire and secure one end to the ground terminal (a) provided on the generator frame and the other end to a suitable ground source. -
Page 20: Generator Derating
Operation G 3.3A Generator Derating All generators are subject to derating for altitude and temperature. Internal combustion engines, unless modified, run less efficiently at higher altitudes due to the lack of air pressure. This translates into a lack of power and thus reduction in generator output. Temperature affects both engine and generator performance. -
Page 21: Use Of Extension Cords
G 3.3A Operation Use of Extension Cords When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a voltage loss occurs—the longer the cord, the greater the voltage loss. This results in less voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current draw or reduces performance. -
Page 22: Earth-Leakage Circuit Breaker
Operation G 3.3A Earth-leakage Circuit Breaker See Graphic: wc_gr000661 Generator models ending with an “AE” are equipped with an earth- leakage circuit breaker. The circuit breaker is current-operated and shuts off the power to the receptacles when a ground fault of 30 milli- Amps or greater occurs in the generator or to a piece of equipment attached to the generator. -
Page 23: Control Panel
G 3.3A Operation Control Panel See Graphic: wc_gr000679 The generator is protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker (a) located on the control panel. The circuit breaker protects the generator from severe overloads or short circuits. If the circuit breaker opens, turn the engine off immediately and determine the cause before restarting. -
