Inspect the running engine and generator section for any loose parts, odd noises, leaks or unusual odors.
If any problems are noticed, correct the problem or contact our factory at (800) 395-6703 for further
instructions or assistance. If everything appears to be operating normally, proceed to the next step.
Using the Power Tool
Once the generator has been determined to be properly grounded and in good working condition, you
may proceed with using the tool. Turn the power tool on and check for proper rotation. Use according
to the tool manufacturer’s instructions and intent for how the tool is to be used. Once finished, turn off
the tool first and then shut down the engine or motor (see manufacturer’s manual for proper shut-off
procedure).
Use of Extension Cords:
Extension cords are to be sized based on distance and amperage so that the voltage drop between the
generator and the load (tool) is kept to a minimum.
For use with High Cycle concrete vibrators,
•
50’-100’ extension cords, 14 gauge wire is adequate.
If using longer extension cords or combining extension cords, consult a competent, qualified
electrician.
Repairs to extension cords should be performed by a competent, qualified electrician.
Maintenance
The Generator Section of the generator is maintenance-free and does not require regular servicing.
Keeping the generator section (including the vent holes on the side) clean and free of dirt, concrete and
other debris is all that is needed to keep the Generator Section in proper working order and ensuring
maximum life. Do not subject the generator to a direct stream from a water hose or pressure washer.
There are no user service parts inside the generator housing. For service or maintenance of the drive
section (Honda, Yanmar, Baldor or other), please refer to the manufacturer’s manual
.
