Operation
NOTE: All equipment or loads connected to the unit
MUST be properly grounded. If these appliances do not
have grounded plugs, a ground wire MUST be added
between the equipment and the grounding stud on the
receptacle panel per the National Electrical Code (NEC),
state and local regulations.
Engine Derating
All units are affected by derating for altitude and
temperature. Derating reduces the available power for
operating tools and accessories connected to the
receptacles. Typical reductions in performance are 2-4%
for every 1000 ft (305 m) of elevation and 1% per 10ºF
(5.6ºC) increase in ambient air temperature over 72ºF
(22ºC).
Shutting Down the Unit
Before shutting down the unit, check with the personnel
using power supplied by the receptacles and let them
