GENERATOR APPLICATION
WHAT IS A GENERATOR
A generator is basically a prime mover, typically a gasoline or diesel engine, coupled to an alternator to produce electricity. It is very useful as a substitute power source during power outages or as the primary source in remote locations where power is not available. Generators are essential for people such as contractors or farmers who are always in need of portable power. They are also very convenient for recreational use.
SELECTING A GENERATOR
Selecting the proper generator is important. A generator that is too small for your application will not run all of the equipment needed. A generator that is too large will cost more and if never used to its potential the money is wasted. The correct size generator is determined by totaling the wattage requirements of the items to be used simultaneously, determine additional starting wattage requirements and total these numbers. Select a generator with a continuous rating that exceeds this by about 20% to allow for expansion. See the table in the section titled “Generator Set Overload” for some wattage guidelines of common equipment.
RATED vs. SURGE WATTS
Rated
, or continuous, watts are the watts an item needs as it is running. Surge
, or maximum, watts are the watts an item needs to start. This is typically 2-4 times the rated watts. This information is typically provided on the manufacturer’s nameplate. If watts are not provided, it can be calculated using the formula: Watts=Amps x Volts.
EXTENSION CORDS
An extension cord should always be in good condition with no damage to the wires or sheathing. Never run an extension cord through water. The correct wire size for an extension cord can be determined from the table that follows.
LOADING YOUR GENERATOR SET
With reference to the Receptacle details section, please review the power receptacles fitted to your generator. The circuit breaker rating and the generator rating drive the actual load that may be pulled from each receptacle. The ratings shown in the table are the maximum available from each receptacle. DO NOT EXCEED THE INDIVIDUAL RECEPTACLE RATINGS
AS SHOWN IN THE TABLE BELOW. DO NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL GENERATOR NAMEPLATE RATING. All generator units are equipped with a thermal-magnetic main circuit breaker as well as a "PUSH TO RESET" breaker on branch circuits.
AMPERAGE RATE TABLE
ENGINE LIMITATIONS ON GENERATOR
PERFORMANCE
Generator ratings assume 60°F (20C) and Sea Level. Operation of your generator at temperatures above 60°F (20C) or above Sea Level will result in lower electrical output. Electrical output must be derated 1% for each 10°F above 60°F and 3 ½ % for each 1000 feet above mean sea level.
GENERATOR CLEANING
CAUTION: ALWAYS SHUT DOWN THE GENERATOR
AND ALLOW IT TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE
PERFORMING CLEANING OPERATIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE WATER
OR A GARDEN HOSE TO CLEAN YOUR GENERATOR. WATER INTRODUCED INTO THE GENERATOR CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHORTS, GENERATOR DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
Compressed air (max. 25 psi) may be used to blow loose
dirt and dust from your generator. DO NOT DIRECT COMPRESSED AIR DIRECTLY INTO ANY OPENING IN THE GENERATOR OR ENGINE.
Use a dampened cloth to wipe clean exterior surfaces.
Use a soft bristle brush to clean/ loosen heavy dirt, oil or
grease deposits.
NEVER insert rags, tools or any device into the generator
or engine openings.

GENERAL STORAGE GUIDELINES
WARNING: GASOLINE FUEL FUMES ARE
FLAMMABLE. DO NOT STORE YOUR GENSET IN
ANY AREA THAT IS INDOOR OR IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS. GASOLINE FUEL FUMES CAN IGNITE IN THE PRESENCE OF ANY OPEN FLAME, PILOT LIGHT, CLOTHES DRYER, WATER HEATER, ETC.
Your generator should be started and operated for several minutes at least every 30 days. When the generator set is not being operated or is being stored more than one month, follow these instructions:
1. Replenish engine oil to upper level.
2. Run the generator, then close the fuel shut-off valve and
allow the unit to run until the engine stops.
3. Move the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
4. After the unit has cooled, drain gasoline from fuel tank, fuel line and carburetor.
5. Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through the spark plug hole, pull the recoil starter several times and replace the plug. Then pull the starter until you feel the piston is on its compression stroke and leave it in that position. This closes both the intake and exhaust valves to prevent the inside of the cylinder from rusting.
6. Cover the unit and store in a clean, dry place that is well ventilated away from open flame or sparks.
NOTE: We recommend always using a fuel stabilizer.
A fuel stabilizer will minimize the formulation of fuel gum deposits during storage. The fuel stabilizer can be added to the gasoline in the fuel tank, or into the gasoline in a storage container.
