THE FORCE/2

Generators and Extension Cords

Your FORCE/2 will operate on power from a commercial-sized generator. No

household generators may be used due to the high inrush requirements of the

FORCE/2. Also, generators made by Honda, Yamaha, Coleman

and Generac are not recommended. While they are of high quality,

these generators do not have the inrush protection devices necessary to start the

FORCE/2 and protect the generator. The start-up requirement for a FORCE/2

is 9660 watts; normal operating requirement is 3300 watts. We recommend

a generator of not less than 9000 watts, 120 VAC. In addition, Intec

recommends generators that have a 50% power boost feature which aids the

generator in high current startups.

Running additional equipment from the same generator means you will need to

know the total electrical requirements before selecting the correct size of

generator. For details on selecting and purchasing a generator, please call

INTEC.

Note: Using a generator of insufficient size will void your Warranty.
