Chicago Electric 90300 manual Powering Tools And Equipment

Powering Tools And Equipment:

1.Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the Generator’s rated voltage, wattage, and amperage capacity (120V/ 15 AMP and 240V/ 15 AMP) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the Generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a separate Generator.

2.Once the Generator is running, simply connect the Power Cords of 120 volt powered tools and equipment into the 120 volt Outlets (43). If a 240 volt tool or equipment is used, connect its power cord into the 240 volt Twistlock Outlet (44). (See Figure I.)

3.NOTE: The Generator features two AC Non-Fuse Overload Breakers (42) to protect the AC circuit in case of an overload. Should an overload occur one or both of the Breakers will “trip”, interrupting the circuit (disconnecting power to the connected tools and/or equipment). In this case, refer to Step #1 in this section. Then, reset the circuitry system by depressing the Breaker(s). Restart the Generator and continue powering the remaining tools and equipment. (See Figure I.)

4.When finished using the Generator, turn the ON/OFF switch on the engine’s fan shroud to its “OFF” position, and remove the Ignition Key from the Ignition Switch (45). (See Figure H.)

5.After the Engine and Generator have completely cooled, store the Generator in a safe, clean, dry location (if not already installed in one).
