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.
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.
The information in the following chart is offered only as a general guideline to help
you determine power requirements for different types of equipment. Contact your
nearest Wacker Neuson
dealer, or the manufacturer
or
dealer
of
the tool or
equipment, with questions regarding power requirements.
