OPERATION WITH
PORTABLE GENERATOR
WARNING: Before operating
heater or any appliance from a
portable generator, verify that
generator has been properly con-
nected to earth ground. Improper
grounding or failure to ground
generator can result in electro-
cution if a ground fault occurs.
Refer to owner’s manual supplied
by generator manufacturer for
proper grounding procedures.
The operating voltage range of the heater is 108 to
132 Volts (120 Volts +/- 10%). Prior to plugging
heater into generator the output voltage should
be verified (if generator is equipped with the au-
tomatic idle feature, the output voltage should be
measured with the generator running at full speed).
If the voltage does not measure in this range the
heater should not be plugged into the generator.
Refer to
Operation
, page 4, for starting, stopping
and resetting heater procedures.
