Page 16: Operation
Operation G 2.5A Operation Determining Power Requirements This generator is designed to operate single-phase, 60 Hz appliances running at 120 VAC. Some appliances and tools require a surge of current when starting. This means that the amount of power needed to initially start the equipment is larger than the power required to keep it running. -
Page 17: Outdoor Installation
G 2.5A Operation Outdoor 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 engine exhaust away from areas where people may be present. -
Page 18: Generator Derating
Operation G 2.5A 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 lack of air pressure. This translates into a lack of power and thus reduction in generator output. Temperature affects both engine and generator performance. -
Page 19: Grounding The Generator
G 2.5A Operation Grounding the Generator See Graphic: wc_gr000544 A ground connection (a) is located on the generator frame. For proper operating safety, this ground terminal must be connected to a good ground source. This ground connection must comply with National Electrical Code standards, and state and local regulations. -
Page 20: Use Of Extension Cords
Operation G 2.5A 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. -
