6 choose a location where the generator will not be exposed to rain, snow or direct sunlight. Common places for mounting your pto generator are to a trailer or a cement slab. However you choose to mount the generator, make sure it can get as close to the load as possible. This will make using the ge...
7 load application it is important to determine the total electrical load before it is connected to the generator. The two major factors in determining the life of a generator head are: heat build up, caused by overloading the generator and corrosive contaminants, that attack the wiring insulation. ...
8 as the electric motor windings. Because the heavy surge of current is required for only an instant, the generator will not be damaged if it can bring the motor up to speed in a few seconds. If difficulties in starting a motor are experienced, turn off all other electrical loads and if possible red...
9 grounding - all units must be grounded. Drive a 3/4” or 1” copper pipe or rod into the ground close to the generator. The pipe/rod must penetrate moist earth. Connect an approved ground clamp to the pipe. Run a 8 gauge wire from the clamp to the generator ground screw. Do not connect to a water pi...
