3.9 Power Requirements

Application

This generator is designed to operate single-phase, 60 Hz equipment running at

120 VAC. It also provides DC power strictly intended for charging 12V automotive

style batteries.

Check the nameplate or label provided on tools and equipment to make sure their

power requirements are met by the power output of the generator. If the wattage is

not given for a particular tool or piece of equipment, contact the tool manufacturer

for wattage requirements.

NOTICE: Do not exceed the continuous rated output of the generator. Damage to

tools or generator can occur. See Technical Data.

About power

requirements

Some pieces of equipment and tools require a surge of current when starting. This

means that the amount of power needed to initially start the equipment is larger

than the power required to keep it running. The generator must be capable of

supplying this "surge" current. Other equipment may require more power than is

actually stated on its nameplate.
