5.3 INSTALLATION OF THE GENERATOR
Remember

GEEL 2i
This generator is designed to operate single-phase. Check the nameplate or label
provided on tools and appliances to make sure their power requirements match the
power output of the generator.
Some appliances 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
types of appliances require more power than is actually stated on their nameplate.
The information in "Approximate Starting Power Requirements" is offered only as a
general guideline to help you in determining power requirements for different types of
equipment. Check with your nearest ENAR, or contact the manufacturer or dealer of the
tool or appliance, with questions regarding its power requirements.
NOTICE: If a tool or appliance does not reach full speed within a few seconds when
switched on, turn it off immediately to avoid damage.
Approximate Starting Power Requirements.
Incandescent lights and appliances such as irons and hot plates, which use a
resistive-type heating element, require the same wattage to start and run as is
stated on their nameplates.
Fluorescent and mercury lamps require 1.2–2 times their stated wattage to start.
Electrical motors and many types of electrical tools often require a large starting
current. The amount of starting current depends on the type of motor and its use.
Most electrical tools require 1.2–3 times their stated wattage for starting.
Loads such as submersible pumps and air compressors require a very large force
to start. They need as much as 3–5 times the wattage stated on the nameplate in
order to start.
If the wattage is not given for a particular tool or appliance, it can be calculated by
multiplying its voltage and amperage requirements:
Single Phase: VOLTS x AMPS = WATTS.
Place the generator in an area where it will not be exposed to rain, snow, or direct
sunlight. Make sure it is positioned on firm, level ground, so it will not slide or shift.
Position the engine exhaust away from areas where people may be present.
The surrounding area must be free from water and moisture. All components must be
protected from excessive moisture.
DANGER! Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust
contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. NEVER use this
generator inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open. Only use this
generator OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.
DANGER! NEVER install a generator in an enclosed area such as a tunnel or a trench.
Using a generator in a tunnel or a trench CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator
exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. NEVER
use this generator inside a tunnel or a trench.
