3 Operating the Machine

3.1 Application

Generator

application

This machine is a heavy-duty, compact, sound-attenuated generator designed to

provide single and three-phase power for construction, commercial, and industrial

applications where reliable power is needed.

.

Safety notices

 Do not exceed the power output of the generator. Damage to tools or generator

will occur. Refer to Technical Data.

 When using the generator as a standby or substitute power supply, make sure

the voltage and phase rotation of the line connections match those of the mains

lines. Failure to match phase rotation and voltage may cause equipment con-

nected to the generator to operate incorrectly! This could create unsafe operat-

ing conditions.

 Do not exceed the rated current limit of any receptacle.
