2.2 MACHINE DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
PORTABLE GENERATOR
This machine is a portable electric power source. The ENAR Portable Generator
consists of a tubular steel frame surrounding a fuel tank, a gasoline engine, a control
panel, and an electric alternator. The control panel includes controls and receptacles.
As the engine runs, the generator converts mechanical energy into electric power. The
operator connects loads to the electric power receptacles.
This machine is intended for the purpose of supplying electrical power to connected
loads. Refer to the product specifications for the output voltage and frequency of this
generator, and the maximum output power limit of this generator
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the
machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons in the area. Machine damage
caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
•
Connecting a load that has voltage and frequency requirements that are
incompatible with the generator output
•
Overloading the generator with a load that draws excessive power during either
continuous running or start-up
•
Operating the generator in a manner that is inconsistent with all federal, state and
local codes and regulations
•
Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
•
Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
•
Operating the machine out of factory specifications.
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest global safety
standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far as practicable
and to increase operator safety through protective guards and labeling. However,
some risks may remain even after protective measures have been taken. They are
called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:
•
Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine
•
Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques
•
Fuel and its fumes
•
Electric shock and arc flash
•
Personal injury from improper lifting techniques
To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the
safety information presented in this manual before operating the machine.
