INTRODUCTION TESTING POLICY Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it is fully checked for performance. The generator is loaded to its full capacity, and the voltage, current, and frequency are carefully checked. Rated output of generator is based on engineering tests of typical units, and is subject to, and limited by, the temperature, altitude, fuel, and other conditions specified by the manufacturer of applicable engines.
UNIT CAPABILITIES GENERATOR CONNECTIONS motors, turn all other electrical loads off and if possible reduce the load on the electric motor. 120 Volt and 240 Volt receptacles are provided for connection to various loads. The diagram below represents this 7,500 watt (starting output) generator. A & B represent the 120 volt output legs of this generator.

2. If the generator set is connected to an existing distribution system, a fully isolated manual transfer switch must be installed. The transfer switch prevents damage to the generator and the other circuit components if main line power is restored while the generator is connected. Installing a transfer switch also permits the use of normal fusing.
YOURGEN The speed of the engine was carefully adjusted at the The WINCO YourGen meter allows you to see useful factory so that the generator produces the proper voltage information about your generator from the front panel and frequency. For normal usage, the speed setting should by displaying RPMs, Voltage, frequency, load, hours, and not be changed.
