3.1 Before starting
3.1.1 Safety
Before operating the Wanco Generator:
■
Read and be familiar with this instruction manual.
■
Read and follow all safety instructions (see Section 2, page 5).
■
If using an engine to power the generator, read the engine
manufacturer’s instructions.
3.1.2 Power requirements
You must supply the power source—usually an engine—for use
with your generator. The factory does not supply engines.
All engines have a horsepower curve. Always operate the engine at
a speed that develops the required horsepower, as listed in
Table 3-1.
If you do not have enough horsepower from the engine, you will
not obtain the full electrical output from the generator. If you
attempt to draw full power from the generator without enough
horsepower, the result will be low voltage and higher amperage,
which will damage the generator and the equipment you are
powering with the generator.
The generator will not operate properly if powered by a tractor (as a
PTO generator). The RPMs from a tractor engine are too low. If a PTO
generator is required, contact the factory.
CAUTION
Insufficient horsepower will damage generator and other
connected equipment.
Use a power source that is properly sized for the generator.
