Putting Your Portable Diesel Generator to Work
Jobsite Safety Tips for Your Portable Diesel Generator
Handling Your Tools: Always pick up, put down, and carry your power tools by their handles, not by their cords. This prevents the cords from fraying or coming loose. And be cautious of defective tools. If you think a power tool is damaged or defective, do not plug it into your portable diesel generator.
Extension Cords: Do not use a longer extension cord than necessary. The longer the extension cord, the less amperage delivered, meaning less power to the motor of your tools/appliances, which means you will not be getting the amount of power you expect from your portable diesel generator. Also, coiled extension cords can get very HOT, so always uncoil them and lay them in flat, open places.
Always Use Your Portable Diesel Generator Outdoors: The fumes from a portable diesel generator can quickly become fatal if it is operated in an enclosed area. Do not operate near open windows, vents, or doors and never use your portable diesel generator inside a home, garage, crawl space, or other enclosed area.
The Elements: Protect your portable diesel generator from exposure to rain/snow. A portable diesel generator produces powerful voltage and SHOULD NOT be operated in wet conditions.
Operating Manual and Instructions: Always read and follow the manufacturer’s operating manual and instructions for your portable diesel generator before operating. For peak performance and safety, it is also important to maintain your portable diesel generator according to the maintenance schedule.
Combustible Materials: Do not operate a portable diesel generator near combustible materials.
