    Check with your nearest Wacker Neuson dealer, or contact the manufacturer or dealer of the tool or appliance, if you have questions regarding power requirements.
  • Page 14 Operation GV 2500A Approximate Starting Power Requirements • Incandescent lights and appliances such as irons and hot plates, which use a resistive-type heating element, require the same wattage to start and run as is stated on their nameplates. • Fluorescent and mercury lamps require 1.2–2 times their stated watt- age to start.

  • Page 15: Installation

    GV 2500A Operation Installation Place the generator in an area where it will not be exposed to rain, snow, or direct sunlight. Make sure it is positioned on firm, level ground, so it will not slide or shift. Position the engine exhaust away from areas where people may be present.

  • Page 16: Generator Derating

    Operation GV 2500A 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 reduction of air pressure. This translates into a lack of power and thus reduction in generator output.

  • Page 17: Grounding The Generator

    GV 2500A Operation Grounding the Generator The neutral of this machine is not connected to ground. Under standard operating conditions, do not connect the frame PE stud to earth ground. Refer to local codes if machine is used to power a CAUTION building or similar distribution system.

  • Page 18: Use Of Extension Cords

    Operation GV 2500A 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.
