2.5kVA Inverter Generator VF2200IG
For instance, if the generator is used for 4 hours on low wattage, run the generator for 1
hour at around 75% of rating. If the generator is being used for solely charging a battery,
it’s recommended to run the 240V at around 500W for the generators up to 2000W if the
charging cycle will be ran for many hours. When charging is complete, try and run the
generator at around 75% of rated load for an hour or so. Unleaded fuel without ethanol
generally gives best results.
An Important Message about Temperature
Your engine is designed and rated for continuous operation at ambient temperatures up
to 40°C. When your product is needed, your product may be operated at temperatures
ranging from -15°C to 50°C for short periods. If the product is exposed to temperatures
outside this range during storage, it should be brought back within this range before
operation. In any event, the product must always be operated outdoors, in a well-
ventilated area and away from doors, windows and other vents.
When operated above 25°C there may be a decrease in power. Maximum wattage
and current are subject to and limited by such factors as fuel BTU content, ambient
temperature, altitude, engine condition and etc. Maximum power decreases about 3.5%
for each 1,000 feet above sea level; and will also decrease about 1% for each-12.2°C
above 16°C ambient temperature.
Storage
When you are finished using the generator, you must:
• Disconnect all loads.
• Shut off fuel supply by ensuring generator control knob is in off position.
• Store the generator properly.
• Plan on operating the engine regularly unless the generator is prepared for long-term
