OPERATION OUTPUT POWER AVAILABLE AND LOAD DETERMINATION Before using the generator, read and understand the following information. Generator output current (amperage) is internally limited by three circuit breakers. If too much demand is placed on a generator output (if you try to drive too many motors with it, for example), one of the circuit breakers will trip, cutting off the output in order to protect the generator.
PRE-START CHECKS 4. Couple the tractor to the generator with the drive shaft (tumbling bar). Couple the tumbling bar to the generator WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY input shaft first, then to the power take-off shaft. Check When working on or around these generators, do not alignment, tractor, power take-off shaft (tumbling bar), wear loose fitting clothing or any articles that may get and the generator input shaft should form a straight (or...
