Generator

Selecting a Generator

You must know the rated and maximum wattage for appliances
to be used with a generator. Appliances with electric motors may
require 2-3 times the rated power when starting up, e.g. an
appliance with a rated output of 200W can draw up to 600W at
start up.

Rated Watts and Maximum Watts

Rated, or Running Watts, is the continuous power a generator can
deliver, and the continuous power required by an appliance to
operate correctly.
Maximum, or Starting Watts, is the maximum short term power
a generator can deliver, and the start-up power required by an
appliance when first being started simultaneously.

1. Determine which appliances are to be run at a given time by
the generator. Add up the Rated Watts of each appliance. This
total is the amount of power the generator must produce to keep
the items running.

2. Determine the Start-up power required of each appliance and
add up. This is the total start up power required by the generator
to start-up each appliance.

Application/Equipment Rated Watts (Running) Maximum Watts (Starting)

Light Bulb 75W 75 75

Refrigerator/Freezer 700 2200

TOTALS 775 2275

The above example shows that for the selected appliances a
generator with a minimum Rated Wattage of 775W and a
minimum Maximum Wattage of 2275W is required.

Part 1 General Precautions

1.1 Work Area

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away

while operating a generator. Provide barriers or

shields as needed.

1.2 Electrical Safety

Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet

properly installed and grounded in accordance

with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the

grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs.

Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry

electricity away from the user in the event of an

electrical malfunction.

Double insulated tools are equipped with a

polarized plug where one blade is wider than the

other. This plug fits in a polarized outlet only one

way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,

reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.

Do not change the plug in any way. Double

insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire

grounded cord and grounded power supply

system.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such

as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.

There is an increasing risk of electric shock if your

body is grounded.

Do not expose generator to rain or wet conditions,

Water entering a generator will increase the risk

of electric shock.

Do not abuse the power cord. Keep power cords

away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.

Replace damaged power cords immediately.

3

Damaged power cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use an

outdoor extension cord

All connections and conduits from the generator

to the load must only be installed by trained and

licensed electricians, and in compliance with all

relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes

and standards, and other regulations where

applicable.

The generator must be earth-grounded for fixed

installations in accordance with all relevant

electrical codes and standards before operation.

Do not attempt to connect or dis

connect load

connections while standing in water, or on wet or

soggy ground.

Do not touch electrically energized parts of the

generator and interconnecting cables

or

4

conductors with any part of the body, or with any

non-insulated conductive object.

Connect the generator only to a load or electrical

system that is compatible with the

electrical characteristics and rated capacities of

the generator.

Before servicing equipment powered by the

generator, disconnect the equipment from its

power input.

Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry.

Replace any wiring where the insulation is

cracked, cut abraded or otherwise degraded.

Replace terminals that are worn, discolored, or

corroded.

Keep terminals clean and tight.

Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.

Guard against electric shock. Prevent body

contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.

1.3 Personal Safety

Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use

common sense when operating a generator. Do

not use generator while tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating

generators may result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,

clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught

in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power

switch is in “OFF” position, and disconnect the

spark plug wire when not in use.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before

turning the generator on. A wrench or a key that is

left attached to a rotating part of the generator

may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

6

balance at all times.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Wear approved safety impact

eye goggles. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,

hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for

appropriate conditions.

Do not force the generator. Use the generator

correctly for your application. The correct usage

will make your generator do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it is designed for.

Do not use the generator if the power switch can

not be turned to ON or OFF Any generator that

cannot be controlled with the power sw

itch

is

dangerous and must be replaced.

1.4 Generator Use and Care

Make sure the power switch is in “OFF” position

and disconnect the spark plug wire before making

any adjustment, changing accessories, or storing

7

the generator. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the generator

accidentally.

Store idle generators out of reach of children

and other untrained persons. Generators are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain generators with care. Do not use

damaged generator. Tag damaged generators

“Do not use” until repaired.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition

that may affect the generator's operation. If the

generator damage, have it serviced before using.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

generators.

Use only accessories that are recommended by

the manufacturer for your model. Accessories

suitable for one generator may become hazardous

when used on another generator.
