| VOLTAGE REGULATION | ............. | + / - 1% running loads ( + / - 5% no load to load ). |
| All units are manufactured to the highest engineering standards consistent with the industry. ELECTRIC GENERATOR SELECTIONS: When selecting an electric generator be sure that the unit takes care of present total requirements and your anticipated needs. Motor loads require 3 to 4 times the wattage (or amperage) ratings on nameplate. RATINGS: Ratings apply to altitudes up 1000-feet, standard cooling normal ambients and gasoline fuel. Reduce ratings 3 1/2% for each 1,000 feet above sea level and 1% for each 10 degrees Fahrenheit rise above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Please refer to the Safety link below. |
| IMPORTANT: THE EQUIPMENT OFFERED AT THIS SITE IS NOT DEPARTMENT STORE GRADE, THESE ARE THE HIGHEST QUALITY HEAVY DUTY COMMERCIAL / INDUSTRIAL GRADE UNITS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE LEAST EXPENSIVE, LOWER QUALITY COMPRESSORS AND/OR GENERATORS PLEASE GO TO YOUR LOCAL MASS MERCHANDISING WAREHOUSE. YOU CAN ALSO ORDER LOWER GRADE EQUIPMENT FROM A VARIETY OF NATIONAL MAGAZINES TO ACHIEVE RESTRICTIVE PRICE GOALS. | ||
