INTRODUCTION
INTENDED USES
This engine generator set has been designed primarily for portable
heavy duty commercial use. Both 120 volt and 240 volt receptacles
are provided in the control panel to plug in your loads (lights, portable
tools, and small appliances). These units are dual wound generators,
therefore the 120 volt loads must be equally split with 1/2 of the rated
capacity available on each of the two 120 volt circuits. This portable
unit requires large quantities of fresh air for cooling the engine and
generator. For safety, long life and adequate performance, these units
should never be run in small compartments without positive fresh air
flow.
RESTRICTED USES
DO NOT
remove from the cradle assembly. Removal of the generator
from the cradle assembly may cause excessive vibration and damage
to the engine-generator set.
DO NOT operate and/or store the unit outside during inclement weather
without adequate protection from the elements. Failure to do so will
damage the unit.
DO NOT
install and operate this generator in a small compartment.,
i.e. generator compartments of vehicles, motor homes or travel
trailers. These compartments will not allow enough free flow of fresh
air to reach the engine generator set for cooling and will cause the
unit to overheat, damaging both the engine and generator. Small
compartments will also develop hot spots where there is very little air
flow and may cause a fire.
PLEASE NOTE
There are 3rd party companies making enclosures for
generators that have been properly engineered. The use of these 3rd
party enclosures is acceptable as long as they have been certified and
meet current code.
DO NOT
attempt to operate at 50 cycles. These units are designed and
governed to operate at 60 cycles only.
