DANGER CARBON MONOXIDE Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO. • NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.

GV 7000A/7003A 3. Operation Operation 3.1 Determining Power Requirements Wacker Neuson generator Model GV 7000A is designed to operate single-phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230 VAC. Model GV 7003A is designed to operate single phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230VAC and/or three-phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 400VAC. Both single and three phase sides of the generator may be run at the same time. NOTICE: Do not exceed the power output of the generator.
Operation GV 7000A/7003A 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.
GV 7000A/7003A 3.2 Operation Installation 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 DANGER wc_tx000273gb.fm Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Operation 3.3 GV 7000A/7003A Generator Derating All generators are subject to derating for altitude and temperature. Internal combustion engines, unless modified, run less efficiently at higher altitudes due to the reduction of air pressure. This translates into a lack of power and thus reduction in generator output. Temperature affects both engine and generator performance. As temperature increases, an engine will run less efficiently and more resistance will be found in electrical components.
GV 7000A/7003A 3.4 Operation Use of Extension Cords WARNING When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a voltage loss occurs—the longer the cord, the greater the voltage loss. This results in less voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current draw or reduces performance. A cord with a larger cross section will reduce the voltage loss. NOTICE: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat.
