Page 8: Basic Location Information
LOCATION For best service from your portable generator set there are several factors, which should be taken into consideration when choosing the best location in which to operate it: MOISTURE: All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture. Failure to do so will result in deterioration of the insulation and may result in short circuits and a possible electrocution hazard. -
Page 9: Basic Connection Information
CONNECTIONS WIRING: Use sufficiently large insulated wire to connect the generator set to the load. The gauge of the wire will depend largely on the distance, the permissible voltage drop, and the size and type of load. If you are not sure of the gauge wire needed for your application, consult a competent electrician. -
Page 10: Basic Engine Information
ENGINE INFORMATION This operator's manual only covers basic day-to-day engine operating instructions.
